"This contractor is very helpful on selecting very economical material for the project, estimated the exact material required without extra, and help on hauling it to the site. This contractor responded positively to my comments, and my technical input. The crew were very courteous, and polite. The total cost of the project was very competitive comparable to other contractors who submitted bids for the same project. I plan to use them again."

"During the 2021 freeze, we had a lot of damage from broken pipes. We needed new walls, ceilings, bathroom cabinets. Also did some wallpaper and ceramic tiles. We were especially happy with the bathroom cabinets. Just exactly what we ordered. I actually made the old ones, and the new ones are better than the ones I had made."

"Brandon was flexible on scheduling, punctual once agreed, accomplished what I needed diligently, and was just an overall pleasure to meet. If you're looking for someone with a broad range of skills who won't BS you or pad their bill, Setcon is the service to put in your speed-dial. This will most certainly not be the last time we use his services."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

The cost to install a bow window can range from $1,500 to $15,000, with a national average of $3,900. The total price includes materials, which can cost between $1,200 and over $14,000, and labor, which typically adds $300 to $1,900. Several factors influence the final cost, including the window's size and frame material. For example, vinyl frames are the most budget-friendly option, while wood frames are more expensive. Custom features or energy-efficient upgrades will also increase the price. For comparison, a bay window installation typically costs between $1,000 and $7,000.

Yes, ceiling joists are typically load-bearing. However, their primary function is to support the weight of the ceiling and loads applied to it, like lighting fixtures and ceiling fans. They can also help support the roof, especially if they’re part of truss systems. Remember, the load-bearing capacity of ceiling joists depends on the material, size, and space between them. 

The easiest way to tell if a wall is load bearing is to check if it’s an exterior wall or if it runs perpendicular to the joists above and below it (or parallel to beams). Exterior walls are almost always load-bearing, and walls that run under beams or parallel to them are also usually load-bearing. There are exceptions to these rules, and walls that don’t fit into these categories can still be load-bearing. If you’re unsure, hire a structural engineer to look at your home to assess whether or not the wall is structural.

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.

Begin by analyzing the blueprints and gathering the proper materials before framing a house. With the prep stages behind you, begin by framing the floor of a house on the newly set foundation. Exterior and interior walls come next, along with rough openings for doors and windows. Contractors will then add ceiling and roof rafters to finish things off.
