"Tara came out to my place promptly to look at the job. She was good to talk to, and made some suggestions that I decided to follow up. The workers showed up as scheduled and worked fast. Clean up from the hedge trimming was awesome, and later I found that they had also done some needed trimming that I hadn't asked for. I'm very happy."

"I hired Cody for so many projects! He painted my roof, the outside of my house, detailed work inside. He re-glazed my windows, sanded and painted my ceilings, repainted my radiators, and more. His work is perfect and detailed oriented. He also staged my house painting over the course of the summer in order to make it easy for me to pay for it. Cody is also extremely polite and pleasant to be around. I highly recommend him."

Carpentry FAQs, answered by experts

When deciding whether to use nails or screws for framing, the specific needs of the project must be taken into account. Nails have long been the go-to option for framing due to their affordability, ease of installation, and ability to withstand shear forces. They are perfect for structural framing projects where fast assembly is essential. In contrast, screws offer exceptional holding power and are particularly useful in situations requiring increased strength and resistance to pull-out forces. For projects that prioritize accuracy and long-lasting quality, screws may be the preferred option, though nails remain a dependable and efficient choice.

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.

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.

For maximum stability, install grab bars on wall studs, as this will adequately support the weight. However, if you don't have access to studs, you can get by with wall anchors. If opting for the latter, choose specialty hollow wall anchors. 

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