"Chris, and his tile and plumber subs, did an amazing job on the remodel of our two condo bathrooms and their estimate was very competitive too. As seniors, we have hired many contractors and Casali Remodeling is the best, by far! Their communication was excellent, and Chris was always involved in making sure things were going well. When we wanted minor changes, they were very accommodating, making the changes when possible or explaining why something couldn't or shouldn't be done."

"We recently had the pleasure of working with Property Trio for custom built-in cabinets in our living room, office and bedroom, and we couldn't be happier! From start to finish, the experience was fantastic. Property Trio listened carefully to our vision, even our crazy ideas and truly brought it to life. The cabinets are not only beautiful but also provide all the storage we needed, perfectly combining functionality with style. They transformed our spaces and exceeded our expectations! The attention to detail and craftsmanship is evident in every inch of the work. If you're looking for a contractor who can turn your ideas into reality, I highly recommend Property Trio. We are thrilled with the results!"

"Bargewell Construction just finished a complete bathroom remodel for me. I only have one bathroom, but he worked with me so I wouldn't be without the commode. I am a Paraplegic and he was very sensitive to my needs. I couldn't be more pleased. Michael Bargewell did a wonderful job. Very pleasant and a pleasure to work with. Rose G Mount Vernon WA"

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

The primary parts of a house that need framing during construction are floors, exterior walls, interior walls, and the roof. The framing in these areas provides the skeleton for adding other materials over the top. With walls, for example, contractors can hang drywall over the interior walls and siding over the outside of the exterior walls. Proper framing ensures a sturdy house that is built to last.

The cost to frame a 2,000-square-foot house can fall anywhere between $14,000 and $32,000. This price can increase or decrease depending on what type of framing you choose, the quality of the materials, the project's complexity, and whether you decide to hire a professional to do the job.

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.

Yes, ceiling joists are typically load-bearing. However, their primary function is to support the weight of the ceiling and loads applied to it, like lighting fixtures and ceiling fans. They can also help support the roof, especially if they’re part of truss systems. Remember, the load-bearing capacity of ceiling joists depends on the material, size, and space between them. 

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.
