"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."

"I hired Ricky to lower my iron fence from 6â to 4â . My house was one of eight which he modified in our neighborhood. Ricky was incredibly flexible with scheduling and did a great job. Our fences were uneven when installed originally and they are not straight and level. It was a game-changer for the view and the homes look much classier with the lower fence. Ricky had to work with a lot of personalities in this project and went way above and beyond to accommodate some of the owners."

"Any time I need work done or refer a friend, I contact Helt. They’re professional, on time, so the project right, and stick to what they say. If there’s a mess up (which is rare), they fix it and they stand by their word."

"Way over priced. 500.00 to install a door that I am buying, and 5000.00 to replace 9 pieces of siding and paint 3 sides of a 26 X 48 house. I already had an estimate and received 1 more today and I am getting both done for just over half of that."

"Jordan and his awesome team removed the shoddy work of a previous carpenter and professionally installed the proper steel I beams across our recently remodeled home. Three load bearing walls had been removed and the less than adequate work of our previous contractor had begun to leave our roof and ceilings sagging below the maximum allowed measurements and was causing large cracks in our ceiling and walls. Jordans crew jacked everything back up to its original position while attaching the rafters to the new beams… An awesome job by Jordan and his crew. We can now rest easy as we work to restore our ceilings, assured that the dangerous situation we were left with previously has been properly corrected! Thank you so very much Load Bearing Beam Masters!!"

"My roof was ruined 4 years ago from a hail storm and was way past needing replaced, Jeremy removed the old shingles and put new ones on by himself in 3 days, he cleaned up the mess and gave me a great price since I had no insurance and I am disabled and on a fixed income. He is a hard worker, finishes the job quickly and pays attention to detail, I was extremely happy with his work."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Framing a basement takes three to five days, on average, when completed by a professional, though it may take longer for a larger space. Keep in mind this doesn’t include the time to complete the design, obtain permits, and install the drywall on the framing. On average, fully finishing a basement takes an average of 45 days.

For maximum stability, install grab bars on wall studs, as this will adequately support the weight. However, if you don't have access to studs, you can get by with wall anchors. If opting for the latter, choose specialty hollow wall anchors. 

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.

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. 

Accurate measurements, sturdy materials, and seamless integration with other structures.
