"Barnett Fencing easily earned a 5 star rating from me. Melvin and his crew showed up on time, were professional and courteous. Had the best price and finished the job in the time quoted. I know this sounds silly, but I love how meticulous they were with being sure that the boards lined up when they installed the wooden fence. They built the fence as if it was in their own backyard. Very clear to me, why Barnett Fencing has soooo many 5 Star ratings. Melvin is very customer oriented and I would hire him again and would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone."

"The building took a while to get started, but the team they sent out did miracle work or something cause the company told me 8-14 days to finish, they finished in 5 and the quality is insane. I would definitely hire then again for future projects! 5 stars"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

You should avoid drilling or cutting into load-bearing beams because removing material will weaken it and increase the risk of structural damage or even collapse. If you do need to drill into a load-bearing beam, speak with a structural engineer first to discuss where it’s safest to drill and the width and depth of the bit that’s safe to use.

It’s sometimes safe to replace a load-bearing wall with a beam, but you need a structural engineer to sign off on the project. You’ll also likely have to upgrade to a steel I-beam or another material that’s stronger than wood to maintain the level of support you need without the wall underneath.

The best way to calculate framing costs is by basing your costs on the square footage of your home. On average, framing your home could cost anywhere between $7 and $16 per square foot. 

To ensure you don’t go over budget, base your estimates on the higher end of the price range. If you know you’re going to use high-end materials or require a custom or complex build, you might even want to tack on an additional 5% of your budget.

A-frame homes are on the smaller side. While there’s no set square footage amount it has to be, it will usually come in around 1,000 square feet or smaller.
