"I hired Brandon to pour concrete for a retaining support for a rock facing on my block foundation and put a new roof on an out building. All work was done very professionally, on time, and at a very reasonable cost. I would highly recommend him. I am using him to put down new flooring in the near future."

"We hired Marci to do some drywall repair. It sustained water damage as a result of a water leak. From day one Marci did not disappoint. He stayed in constant contact, quoted a great price, showed up to do the work when he said he would and did Oustanding work! Marci was also very professional and respectful to our guests. We would absolutely recommend him to others looking to have projects completed. Kevin-Sevierville"

"Stephen was communicative and reasonably priced. He remodeled both bathrooms and some of the kitchen and bathroom in about 3 or4 weeks mostly by himself. He made recommendations for products for the remodel so that I could not only save money, but make my home look nice. Highly recommended and would hire him again for another remodel."

"Austin responded quickly to our request for a quote and after we hired him he communicated daily during the project. The covering he built for our deck is great and we were very pleased with his work. We would definitely hire him for another project!!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

The best way to calculate framing costs is by basing your costs on the square footage of your home. On average, framing your home could cost anywhere between $7 and $16 per square foot. 

To ensure you don’t go over budget, base your estimates on the higher end of the price range. If you know you’re going to use high-end materials or require a custom or complex build, you might even want to tack on an additional 5% of your budget.

Framing is the shell of the house. It includes several steps, including studs, plumbing, and electricity. A professional will ensure the wall frame is secured for the house’s structural integrity. 

Framing prices change depending on the material and whether the wall is load-bearing. Most contractors use wood to frame a home, but metal is another popular choice.

Baseboards don’t have to be nailed into studs. However, nailing them into studs adds to their stability. When studs aren’t available, you can secure them with drywall nails directly into the drywall and adhesive. Always aim to nail into studs, especially in high-traffic or impact-prone areas.

Yes, you can find ceiling joists using simple tools if a stud finder isn't available.

Using a hammer requires patience and a keen ear. Gently tap the ceiling in a grid pattern, listening for sound changes. A hollow sound indicates space between joists, while a solid, dull thud suggests a joist. Mark the location with a pencil and confirm by tapping from different angles.

Alternatively, you can use a nail, but this method will leave small holes. You'll feel increased resistance when the nail hits a joist. Mark the spot and repeat the process every 16 or 24 inches to map the joist locations. This method is considered less reliable than using a stud finder.

Framing a house with steel generally takes less time—around five to eight weeks—than most building materials. The steel components can also be made quickly off-site and manufactured with pre-punched holes for running piping and electrical wiring, which will lessen the prep work and extra labor during construction.
