"CCWW worked on a project recently to replace all of the siding, windows, and the front door on our house and some other repairs including painting the new siding. Mike and his crew were professional and great to work with. I was especially impressed with their excellent craftsmanship and attention to detail. Even though parts of our wall framing was not straight from when it was originally built, they were able to improvise and fix it so the horizontal planks went on perfectly flat and it came out great looking. There were a few other issues related to how the house was built that came up but they always figured out a solution so the finished product would look great and stand up to the weather. Mike kept us well informed on everything from the time I received the quote until the final walk through at the end. He always kept us up to date on what they were working on each day during the project and consulted us whenever a decision was needed on how we wanted something to look. They also stayed on schedule even though it rained a few days and we decided to get some additional unplanned repairs done during the project. Mike takes great pride in his work and makes sure every step of the project is done right and it shows. In the end, our house looks brand new and beautiful. Weâ re really impressed with the job they did and highly recommend CCWW!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Stick frames, metal frames, or prefabricated concrete frames are included in framing a house, along with creating the framework and space for windows, doors, and entryways. Other aspects of developing a home—like drywall, insulation, windows, doors, and more—are not included in the cost to frame a house.

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.

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.

Carpenters are trained to take on a wide range of home projects. You can hire a carpenter to do framing, roofing, build custom furniture, and make significant upgrades to your home. General carpenters are usually able to handle most jobs. However, you may also choose to hire a carpenter who specializes in a specific type of carpentry. 

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.
