"These guys are the truth! We were having issues with our fence warping from another company and Pure Build took great care of us. Tyler was able to explain the process and honestly it was a great piece of mind. They were able to replace the area that was being affected with no issue and when it comes time, they’ll be back to stain everything for it all to match. If you’re looking for professional workmanship, great communication, and pricing that won’t break the bank, call Pure Build Construction ."

"Very good at what they did. They fixed my problem. It was a challenge but we got it fixed. They were a little late and ran later than anticipated. All in all it was good."

"This was our first completed project since moving to Tenn in late April. We were thrilled that Rich Arnold fit us in to install a railing and handrail around our front door step!!!! This was a necessity since we are both seniors and my husband has had both knees replaced. I got the railing that I wanted and he and his crew were professional with service beyond belief. He and his crew fixed my awful looking mailbox and restored it to something beautiful, He fixed many other metal objects in our home. Yes, he was expensive, but in this case we got much more than we paid for!!!!!!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Joists do distribute their load to beams, but they don’t sit on top of the beams. Instead, home builders nail or screw the joists directly to the beams such that the end of the joist butts up against the edge of the beam. Beams can sit on other beams for support, but you’ll never see a joist sitting on top of a beam or another joist.

You can choose 5/8-inch plywood or 3/4-inch plywood—anything thinner than these sizes may not withstand the impact of debris propelled by strong winds or can be easily torn off by intruders. Remember that the durability of the wood board is crucial, particularly for safeguarding your windows during severe storms. The effectiveness of using wood boards for protecting the investment you made in your home relies on using the appropriate material and ensuring proper installation.

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.

In framing, studs are placed at 16-inch intervals to coincide with the typical spacing of wall materials such as drywall or plywood. This spacing is called "on-center" and is necessary for maintaining structural stability and efficient use of materials. The 16-inch spacing also helps to distribute the weight evenly across the building's structure. For those looking to cut material costs and improve energy efficiency, 24-inch stud spacing can be employed through a method called "advanced framing". This requires careful planning and adherence to local building codes to ensure structural integrity.

It’s sometimes safe to replace a load-bearing wall with a beam, but you need a structural engineer to sign off on the project. You’ll also likely have to upgrade to a steel I-beam or another material that’s stronger than wood to maintain the level of support you need without the wall underneath.
