"Very professional and pristine work. The work he did for me on my wrought iron chairs looked better than if i’d purchased them brand new. I will certainly call on him any for any work I need. Also, the price was extremely fair."

"Kam and his crew were so nice and did great work building my new fence and repairing soffit boards on my home 🏠 They removed all the trash within minutes of tearing down my old fence - and were always communicating with me their progress while I was at work I would definitely recommend 901 Home Crew to all my friends and neighbors. Funny they had done four homes on my street in the past year also"

"Omar Hernandez did exactly what I asked him to do- replaced majority of my pool deck and two stairways. I unexpectedly requested power washing and hanging gutters on my covered porch, which he expertly accomplished. Omar was punctual and precise, from beginning to end. I’ll definitely hire him again."

"Calvin was very professional and was reliable for him and/or his crew to be there at the right time. I also needed exterior wood repair (fairly extensive) and he had a carpenter to do that. I was very pleased with the process and the finished product. I will definitely hire him again!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

There are approximately 5.33 board feet in a 2x4. You can use the board foot calculator in this article to easily find the answer. A 2x4 is 2 inches of thickness by 4 inches of width, so you need to find the length, with 8 feet being the most common. You’d use the calculator here to multiply 2 times 4 times 8, and then divide by 12, arriving at a total of 5.33 board feet. 

When building a house, it is customary to use 16d nails that measure 3 1/2 inches in length to construct the frame. These nails are crucial in providing the necessary support and stability for structural elements like joists and studs, which ensures a sturdy framework.

Most load-bearing walls are exterior, though they can also be interior.

Most of the time, you’ll want to use screws on your subfloor rather than nails. Nails can actually weaken plywood, whereas screws can easily penetrate without damage. They also form a more secure connection because of their shape, preventing squeaky floors and tightly holding the subfloor in place. That said, some contractors do prefer nails depending on the type of floor covering because they allow for more flexibility.

One of the most common house framing basics for decades has been using wood for the framing work. However, some framing contractors now suggest using steel frames. Steel is lightweight, resistant to fire, and resistant to moisture, all of which are areas where wood framing could cause problems. However, steel framing is more expensive than wood and limits your ability to insulate the home.
