I provided quality work. From carpentry to plumbing/electrical. I grew up on a dairy farm and had to learn it all!

"Steppy and Terry are fantastic to work with! They are creative, thorough and dedicated. And, they bring enthusiasm to all aspects of the job and work collaboratively throughout. I was left in the lurch at the beginning of December by a prior contractor who bailed on my project due to "bad weather" (someone not from Vermont). I was left with a house open to the elements, only partially covered, and with water leaking in. And I was also left in a situation where there was no hope of continuing inside work during the winter as the inside building space was full of water from rain and snow melt. Steppy and Terry came onboard and immediately set to work prioritzing updates to seal in the building and insulate as quickly as possible. They put in place a fully dried-in roof for the winter, stabilized a loose front wall, and then set to work installing doors and polycarbonate windows in both front walls of my passive solar building (an Earthship). We're now at the point where we can choose next targets -- and we can successfully work through projects throughout the winter. I couldn't be happier -- and more relieved!! I highly recommend working with them for new projects, ongoing projects, as well as emergency fixes."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Metal stud framing parts include the studs themselves, upper and lower tracks that act as top and bottom wall plates, various angle fasteners and clips, screws for fastening pieces togeher, metal straps, c-channel supports, and thicker steel supporting structures. Roof framing metal components include pre-fabricated trusses, heavy-gauge stud pieces, and various plates and fasteners.

Most load-bearing walls are exterior, though they can also be interior.

There are some rules regarding how far your exterior bump-out can go. For a cantilever bump-out that avoids the need to provide additional structural support, the limit is often 24 inches. However, if a footing and foundation are part of the project, a bump-out can encompass a whole room or more. Remember that many residential properties are subject to limits regarding the total house size relating to the size of the lot. 

House framing can be expensive because the materials are pricey, and the job requires a high level of expertise. The more complex the plans, the more expensive the job, but even the most basic frame needs to be installed with high-quality materials and precision. When pricing your home’s framework, remember that a sturdy frame is necessary to create a safe structure.

It’s sometimes safe to replace a load-bearing wall with a beam, but you need a structural engineer to sign off on the project. You’ll also likely have to upgrade to a steel I-beam or another material that’s stronger than wood to maintain the level of support you need without the wall underneath.
