Customers say: Quality work

"Curtis Kuhn is a master craftsman. He converted my old family cedar chest into a beautiful heirloom piece for my family. The cedar chest was in really bad shape, and Curtis made it remarkably lovely and like new again. He takes great pride in his work, and his prices are reasonable. I recommend Kuhn Custom Woodworking to anyone who needs any kind of woodwork done."

"Great! Everyone that has seen my kitchen, loves it! I love it! I really liked my contactor. He listened to what I wanted to do, then improved on my ideas. He was really concerned about doing a quality job that I approved of. I was really happy with the time and detail he put in every aspect of the job, making sure that not only was it done. But, that it was done right!"."

"I have actually just finished my second problem project with Smitty’s. He is not only very affordable, but very professional punctual and his work as exquisite. I plan on using him for all of my projects and I’m very thankful that I found him. I cannot imagine anyone doing a better job than he has done on these projects he has done for me. I’ve been a homeowner for over 40 years and had a lot of work done and he has been absolutely the best."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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. 

There are a few easy ways to locate a wall stud without a stud finder. First, try knocking on the wall with your knuckles. Most parts of the wall will sound hollow, but when you tap over a stud, it will sound more solid. Alternatively, since studs are spaced 16 or 24 inches apart, you can measure those distances from a corner of the room, which will always have a stud.

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. 

While framing a basement is not as difficult as finishing a basement, it's something you should typically leave to the pros. That’s because if something is installed correctly, it will affect your entire basement. However, you can take care of some of the smaller tasks, like filling holes or putting up some insulation.

Learning how to frame a house includes picking the right lumber for the job. Most people will want to pick pine, spruce, or fir for the framing. These types of lumber are affordable and produce sturdy framing for structures. Look for kiln-dried lumber to reduce the risk of shrinkage or insect damage after installation. As part of what’s included in framing a house when you hire a professional, the contractor should order the lumber, so you don’t have to worry about finding the right lumber.
