"When I removed a large mirror from over my fireplace, there was bare plywood and no drywall behind it. This was a task that I did not wish to try myself. I added my requirements to "HomeAdvisor" and within a couple of hours I had a response from Doug Canada. We made arrangements for him to come and look at the job and to get his estimate. After we got his estimate (which was accepted), we made arrangements to have the work done. On the appointed work day, he called to let us know that he would be there shortly. When Doug arrived, he went straight to work. As the project continue, we mentioned that the current mantel on the fireplace wasn't what we really wanted. So as a carpenter, he offer to build a new mantel at a very fair price. The drywall repair and the new mantel were both completed in the time stated. All that we need to do is paint. Doug did what he said he would do, he was always on time, he cleaned up all of his work areas, and Doug was very personable. Without question, I would use him again!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

There are a few easy ways to locate a wall stud without a stud finder. First, try knocking on the wall with your knuckles. Most parts of the wall will sound hollow, but when you tap over a stud, it will sound more solid. Alternatively, since studs are spaced 16 or 24 inches apart, you can measure those distances from a corner of the room, which will always have a stud.

Stick frames, metal frames, or prefabricated concrete frames are included in framing a house, along with creating the framework and space for windows, doors, and entryways. Other aspects of developing a home—like drywall, insulation, windows, doors, and more—are not included in the cost to frame a house.

You can choose 5/8-inch plywood or 3/4-inch plywood—anything thinner than these sizes may not withstand the impact of debris propelled by strong winds or can be easily torn off by intruders. Remember that the durability of the wood board is crucial, particularly for safeguarding your windows during severe storms. The effectiveness of using wood boards for protecting the investment you made in your home relies on using the appropriate material and ensuring proper installation.

Removing a load-bearing wall affects the structural integrity of your home, so you’ll need a permit before starting the work. Building codes vary by municipality, and obtaining a permit and having the work inspected after completion will ensure you’re in compliance with all applicable regulations.

New builds, remodels, and additions often necessitate professional framing expertise.
