"I chose Marcelino because of all the high ratings he received for his work. He lived up to the praise in both his work and treatment of me as a customer. His prices are very reasonable, he and his crew are on time and very professional. He not only treated me with patience and friendliness, but his work was excellent. In fact, he helped me figure out what I needed and did great designs for the work. One other thing that was very important to me is that other companies I quoted would have limits on what they did. So when I had specialized needs or little requests, they would say, "We don't do that." But Marcelino would do it. He did everything I needed, even small specialized things, and all completely professional. He went above and beyond. I hired him three times. First for my bedroom closet and office credenza. Then for a living room credenza, bathroom cabinets, kitchen roll-out cabinets and laundry room build out. Now, he is going to do my garage. I wouldn't use anyone else."

"Ricky did an outstanding job for me. It was a tricky "little" project that needed a bit of finesse and he came through for me. He stayed in touch with me throughout the project and was always on time. It was a pleasure working with him."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Your local building code will list all the framing requirements for whatever type of structure you're building. Most exterior walls require spacing of 16 inches on-center, while many non-load-bearing interior walls only require 24 inches of spacing. However, there are also varying requirements depending on your construction material, so checking your municipality's rules is essential.

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.

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.

The cost to frame a 2,000-square-foot house can fall anywhere between $14,000 and $32,000. This price can increase or decrease depending on what type of framing you choose, the quality of the materials, the project's complexity, and whether you decide to hire a professional to do the job.

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.
