"What can I say, other than.... David at Home Front is the best!! David recently completed two projects in preparation for a new exterior paint job on my home later this summer. The first project was after an exterior inspection, some window trims and door moldings needed to be replaced before painting. Upon removal, additional work would be necessary to repair some hidden damages, including some siding boards being replaced. David was very helpful explaining the issues, the resolutions, and the steps necessary to make the repairs. He made the necessary repairs promptly, professionally, and the quality of his craftsmanship was evident. Even the neighbors would stop by and comment on his quality workmanship. The second project was concerning the same issues, but on an older deck attached onto the back of the home. There were many scenarios being considered - making the necessary repairs, making the repairs and completely replacing all the wooden boards with composite, or a complete enlargement redesign and rebuild. David was very helpful explaining each scenario and the proposals to accomplish each separate task. With his guidance, the decision was made to replace and to expand the deck space. What a great decision!! Thank you David. David is a true professional and his craftsmanship is truly remarkable. We were very fortunate to have David working for us and looking forward to the possibility of future projects. For those of you reading this review, have some friendly advice, hire David, you won't be disappointed!!"

"Rob and Aiden helped us with the build out of a rental unit. The amount of work that they did in one week was far beyond what we had anticipated they would be able to accomplish, and would have taken us 5-6 weeks on our own, at least. We're so grateful for the work they did for us as it alleviated a lot of stress and their quality of work is great."

"I had a very pleasant experience with the contractors. I felt safe leaving them in my home unattended. They did a quality job at a reasonable price. They kept the job site cleaned up at the end of the work day.. I’m very happy with the work that was done and I will use them again hopefully in the near future! I love my new bathroom floor!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Bump-out additions can extend anywhere from 2 to 15 feet from an existing room. The right size will depend on how you plan to use the new space. For a cantilever bump-out, which doesn't require additional foundation support, the limit is typically 24 inches (2 feet). If a footing and foundation are part of the project, a bump-out can be much larger, even encompassing a whole room. It's also important to remember that many residential properties have limits on the total house size relative to the lot size.

Removing a load-bearing wall is best handled by professionals. However, if you have the skill set and decide to DIY the project, you will still need at least one additional person to assist you. Aside from helping with demolition, you'll need another hand to install the new support beam.

One of the most common house framing basics for decades has been using wood for the framing work. However, some framing contractors now suggest using steel frames. Steel is lightweight, resistant to fire, and resistant to moisture, all of which are areas where wood framing could cause problems. However, steel framing is more expensive than wood and limits your ability to insulate the home.

There are approximately 5.33 board feet in a 2x4. You can use the board foot calculator in this article to easily find the answer. A 2x4 is 2 inches of thickness by 4 inches of width, so you need to find the length, with 8 feet being the most common. You’d use the calculator here to multiply 2 times 4 times 8, and then divide by 12, arriving at a total of 5.33 board feet. 

Framing most homes takes anywhere between five and eight weeks to complete. You’ll need to account for inclement weather conditions, material shipment times, the number of crew members, and the weight of your materials. If the weather is too hot, wet, or cold for the installation, this process could take closer to eight weeks.
