"Salt City Renovations is very easy to work with. Marinda is very professional, easy to work with and great with keeping us updated on the progress. During our remodel of our kitchen we had some family health emergencies to deal with, she was so understanding and helpful with sudden changes we had not planned on and helped us navigate the schedule shifts. We are very happy and pleased with our remodel. HIghly recommend Salt City."

"Tyler and his crew repaired my sprinkler system and moved the access and plumbing away from my foundation. He also repaired a secondary water tap that waters my large garden. He then took the system through all eight stations and repaired or replaced sprinkler heads. Finally, without me having to ask him, and just because it was "bugging" him, he fixed a gate on my fence at no charge. This man is competent, incredibly honest and believes a job worth doing is worth doing to the best of his ability. I live in West Point and will definitely call upon him again. Without hesitation, my recommendation is to hire Tyler to handle your home repair needs!"

"Parker was awesome! I hired him for a dryer repair, and I admit I was a little leery because I've not lucked out with hiring good contractors in the past. He is professional, personable, highly intelligent in figuring things out, and makes sure you are happy and satisfied with the job before he leaves. He even texted me to give me a heads-up when he was headed my way for the appointment. He is a lot more reasonable than hiring an appliance-specific repair man. He tore my dryer apart and had it figured out within an hour for the drum to start spinning again. He also is great about guaranteeing the quality of work he has done. Example: After he fixed my dryer, I discovered it was not heating and only drying with cold air when doing a batch that evening. He came back the following day and found there was one resistor not plugged in tight. He had it fixed within a matter of minutes and did not charge me anything to come back out again and fix it. I highly recommend him, and I will hire him again in the future."

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.

Yes, a one-story house can have a load-bearing wall. The load-bearing walls in a single-story home are usually the exterior walls. If the house has a basement with exposed walls, the arrangement of the beams can help indicate what walls are load-bearing.

While some highly experienced homeowners can frame a house independently, it is not advisable. You will need ample carpentry experience, a team of helpers, and professionals to sign off on your work to meet local building codes. For the safest outcome, we recommend buying or building a house with the guidance of professionals.

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.

Not all porch columns are load-bearing, though they can be. Some porch columns are simply decorative. There are ways to identify a load-bearing column, like looking for visible seams and a foundation. Also, check to see if the column directly enters the ground. In some porch installations, a contractor will excavate a hole to install a column into the earth along with a buried cement base for stability.
