"We used Salt City for our custom closet build. Marinda and her team we incredible. Marinda is incredibly knowledgeable about Closets. The other companies we talked to just put together what felt like a cookie cutter design. Marinda asked US what we needed in our space and then created something that fits our needs perfectly. Highly recommend."

"Cesar did an awesome job! He removed three large concrete footings left from some old fence posts, and then installed three new 4x4 fence posts with new concrete footings. He gave me a bid, started that same day, and then finished on the second day. I couldn't have been more pleased. He works hard, is honest and reliable. Thank you Cesar!"

"I had about 200ft of baseboards and a ~3x3? tile entryway installed. Carlos is friendly, incredibly fast, and independent. He only needed to ask me a few design questions but otherwise he solved every issue he came across. His prices were very fair and overall I?m very pleased. There were some corners cut here and there, some evidence of poor measuring and maybe less attention to detail. But if you need work done fast and affordable and looking great on the surface, Carlos is your man."

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. 

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.

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.

The average cost of DIY window framing is about $40 to $60 in materials. If you hire a window treatment professional, you’ll pay for materials plus labor costs—anywhere from $250 to $800 per window. The final cost is highly dependent on the window size, as larger windows are heavier and more difficult to install, as well as the type of window framing material.

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.
