"Dmitro Kasyanchyk pays attention to EVERY detail. His work is excellent. Dmitro screened in our elevated porch. It required substantial planning and carpentry craftsmanship due to the design of our porch. Dmitro did an outstanding job, exceeding our expectations. Dmitro is very pleasant to work with, listens to his clients throughout the project, is regular and punctual, and works continually while on site. We WILL have Dmitro return to our home for several additional projects we have in mind."

"What can I say? Leo and his team are incredible. Our house was old and tired and we hired Leo to build a large front porch, that we hoped, would change the curb appeal. We wanted a multilevel porch and broad, across the front of the home, with 3 separate stair cases. The end product has simply given new life to our home! It is an incredible porch, master crafting, superior finish, takes my breath away! We strongly recommend Leo and his team, for anyone who needs work done, as we will in the future for any and all remodel or repair needs we may have."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Begin by analyzing the blueprints and gathering the proper materials before framing a house. With the prep stages behind you, begin by framing the floor of a house on the newly set foundation. Exterior and interior walls come next, along with rough openings for doors and windows. Contractors will then add ceiling and roof rafters to finish things off. 

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.

You should avoid drilling or cutting into load-bearing beams because removing material will weaken it and increase the risk of structural damage or even collapse. If you do need to drill into a load-bearing beam, speak with a structural engineer first to discuss where it’s safest to drill and the width and depth of the bit that’s safe to use.

Your local building code will list all the framing requirements for whatever type of structure you're building. Most exterior walls require spacing of 16 inches on-center, while many non-load-bearing interior walls only require 24 inches of spacing. However, there are also varying requirements depending on your construction material, so checking your municipality's rules is essential.

The cost to install a bow window can range from $1,500 to $15,000, with a national average of $3,900. The total price includes materials, which can cost between $1,200 and over $14,000, and labor, which typically adds $300 to $1,900. Several factors influence the final cost, including the window's size and frame material. For example, vinyl frames are the most budget-friendly option, while wood frames are more expensive. Custom features or energy-efficient upgrades will also increase the price. For comparison, a bay window installation typically costs between $1,000 and $7,000.
