"Lorenzo and Armando had great skills building my fence and the price was very reasonable. Their work was very clean and professional. My wife even asked them to clean the gutters and guess what, they did it for free. I never heard such a thing,these guys are the greatest.I would definitely recommend them two friends and family and hire them again."

Customers say: Quick response

"Gary(owner) is a very honest, straightforward, humble guy. I hired him to assess a reported carpenter ants damage in a certain area of my house by a hose inspector. When Gary looked at the area, you can "see" the truthfulness of his assessment. You can feel in his words that he is not trying to substantiate the inspector's report, but rather debunked it. And out of the kindness of his heart, he refused charging for a consultation fee... Highly, highly recommended..."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

By careful planning and reinforcement to maintain structural integrity.

Duration varies by project size, but average-sized homes typically take a weeks.

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.

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.
