"The crew was polite and professional. No nonsense, and had a hustle to their cadence. As a retired framing contractor I was pleased to see this efficiency as the job was completed in a timely manner. Impressed they took the time to stop and ask me how I wanted a particular aspect plumbed when in doubt. The job was done cleanly and it looks great. Highly recommended A !"

"Ray of Urban Woodworks did an amazing job replacing all the baseboards in my house after a previous contractor did a very poor job installing flooring and replacing the baseboards. There were a lot of challenges to getting the new baseboards to look right and hide gaps in the flooring where it did not meet the walls. Ray came up with a creative solution and the quality of his work is excellent. I would highly recommend for any woodworking or finish carpentry jobs."

"They have now done two separate jobs on different occasions. Jobs consisted of preparing a floor for carpeting after a animal had ruined the previous carpet and wood. Also fixed my front door which was a little crooked so it stuck. I then called them back for drywall work after I had redid my plumbing. Excellent, professional work for both jobs. Well priced. Went above and beyond. Was also very nice and great to talk to. All around great work that I recommend. And I know we will have other projects for this company."

Customers say: Super punctual

"We worked with Jack's partner Scott and had a great experience. We needed someone to finish a Master Bedroom / Bathroom remodel that a family member had started for us. Scott was pleasant to work with and flexible with the constantly changing scope of which parts we needed him to do. He completed the project quickly and did a great job. We have more projects planned on our house and would definitely like to use him again for them.

"We chose Topaz Remodeling to remove our old deck and build a new one from scratch. Right from the start, I was impressed by Shalev and his crew. We choose to remove an old wooden deck and replace with composite boards and steel railings. I had a lot of questions to ask. Shalev graciously answered them all and showed pictures of recently completed work to give a visual idea of what the end product could look like. Even with a few delays due to weather, the team was able to finish on time and on budget. I would call Topaz for future projects and would highly recommend this company to friends and family"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Modern brick houses are really stick-built homes with a brick facade for aesthetic purposes only, so most have framing. With genuine brick construction, most homeowners install furring strips over the interior of the brick and then install drywall over those strips to cover the brick wall, so they don’t have traditional framing.

In framing, studs are placed at 16-inch intervals to coincide with the typical spacing of wall materials such as drywall or plywood. This spacing is called "on-center" and is necessary for maintaining structural stability and efficient use of materials. The 16-inch spacing also helps to distribute the weight evenly across the building's structure. For those looking to cut material costs and improve energy efficiency, 24-inch stud spacing can be employed through a method called "advanced framing". This requires careful planning and adherence to local building codes to ensure structural integrity.

When choosing a drywall anchor, consider the weight of the object you're hanging and how much weight the anchor will need to support. The heavier the weight, the stronger the anchor you'll need. You’ll find the weight capacity on the packaging when shopping for anchors. 

Also, remember that you can use more than one anchor when hanging something on the wall. If you're using multiple anchors, divide the object weight by the number of anchors to determine how much each will need to support. If you need help deciding which drywall anchor to use, you can hire a handyperson to hang your objects. 

Yes, a one-story house can have a load-bearing wall. The load-bearing walls in a single-story home are usually the exterior walls. If the house has a basement with exposed walls, the arrangement of the beams can help indicate what walls are load-bearing.

Yes, walls on the top floor can be load-bearing if stacked on the floor’s foundation.
