"I would recommend this gentleman to anyone who needs painting or repairs. My large pergola had rotten wood that he repaired and replaced. It was full of mold and mildew, and he power washed it. He stained it twice. It looks wonderful. He was always on time and worked tirelessly to complete the job."

"On time, courteous, professional, on budget! Work completed exactly as discussed, and cleaned up job site, this was a fairly extensive fence repair and Eric did not try to up-sell me to a new fence like other contractors I had bid the project. He understood our desire to keep the â old lookâ of our fence and bid the job accordingly - exactly what we wanted. Will use him again should we need other repair/remodeling work."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

The primary parts of a house that need framing during construction are floors, exterior walls, interior walls, and the roof. The framing in these areas provides the skeleton for adding other materials over the top. With walls, for example, contractors can hang drywall over the interior walls and siding over the outside of the exterior walls. Proper framing ensures a sturdy house that is built to last.

Yes, walls on the top floor can be load-bearing if stacked on the floor’s foundation.

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.

No rules state how much of a load-bearing wall can be removed. Rather, you need to adequately support any area that is removed. Support should always be added to as much wall area is being removed. Failing to support the area properly will result in structural damage.

When building a house, it is customary to use 16d nails that measure 3 1/2 inches in length to construct the frame. These nails are crucial in providing the necessary support and stability for structural elements like joists and studs, which ensures a sturdy framework.
