If you want lower prices for a project around the house but still want the skill set that goes behind a great work ethic and solid craftsmanship, I’m your carpenter/roofer you’ve been looking for. Things are out of hand these days, I’d like to eliminate some of the financial burden to getting projects done around the house small to medium size. You buy the material we’ll discuss payment to me and I’ll even make the material list for you. I currently do work full time at Engelberth Construction Inc. but I can commit and dedicate my time to you whenever it calls for it.

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Framing is the shell of the house. It includes several steps, including studs, plumbing, and electricity. A professional will ensure the wall frame is secured for the house’s structural integrity. 

Framing prices change depending on the material and whether the wall is load-bearing. Most contractors use wood to frame a home, but metal is another popular choice.

Joists do distribute their load to beams, but they don’t sit on top of the beams. Instead, home builders nail or screw the joists directly to the beams such that the end of the joist butts up against the edge of the beam. Beams can sit on other beams for support, but you’ll never see a joist sitting on top of a beam or another joist.

You can use a nail to find ceiling joists, but it’s not as reliable as a stud finder, and you’ll end up with lots of small holes in your ceiling. If the nail hits a joist, you'll feel increased resistance. Mark the spot with a pencil. Repeat this process regularly along the ceiling, 16 or 24 inches apart, until you've mapped out the joist locations.

If you remove a load-bearing wall to create an entrance to a carport or covered patio, you can expect to pay between $3,200 and $9,500, with an average cost of $6,400. Factors such as the type of addition and if that area needs additional work will add to the price.

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