"Konstantin and his crew did an amazing job and the deck looks great. The crew was respectful, pleasant, and hardworking. They did a great job and communicated with us through the process. They offered a lot of options and were able to start almost immediately. I highly recommend Konstantin and his crew and will definitely be hiring these guys in the near future to build us a pole barn/deck."

"As first-time homebuilders, Dennis took the time to guide us through this overwhelming process; he was so professional throughout the entire build. He fought to find high quality subcontractors at affordable prices. Overall, Dennis was able to keep us on schedule and within budget. His level of detail is unbelievable, he ensured everything was done to our liking and to his high quality standard. We highly recommend Craftsman Homes. We will definitely use Dennis for any future remodels!"

"Working with PacNorWest for our cabinetry for our new home was one of the highlights of the build process! Dustin and his team were great to work with from Day 1. Dustin was super patient with all of my questions, indecisiveness, back and forth in tweaking the designs, and went above and beyond to educate me and show me options (including meeting me at the residence multiple times, taking me to one of his recently completed projects, and bringing me multiple samples of woods and stains). Our GC also spoke very highly in working and coordinating with the PacNorWest team. Our cabinets are BEAUTIFUL and a highlight of our home. We received quotes from larger cabinet manufacturers and PacNorWest's prices were competitive with truly unbeatable service and quality. I would highly recommend PacNorWest for any of your cabinetry needs!"

"I was extremely pleased with the two men who worked on my fence project. Arrived on time, very pleasant, didn't waste any time and did a great job. Were very conscientious not to damage any flowers and shrubs that were next to the fence. Cleaned up all the debris that was left and hsuled it away. Only evidence that they were here is a nicely repaired fence."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

The best way to calculate framing costs is by basing your costs on the square footage of your home. On average, framing your home could cost anywhere between $7 and $16 per square foot. 

To ensure you don’t go over budget, base your estimates on the higher end of the price range. If you know you’re going to use high-end materials or require a custom or complex build, you might even want to tack on an additional 5% of your budget.

Yes, you can find ceiling joists using simple tools if a stud finder isn't available.

Using a hammer requires patience and a keen ear. Gently tap the ceiling in a grid pattern, listening for sound changes. A hollow sound indicates space between joists, while a solid, dull thud suggests a joist. Mark the location with a pencil and confirm by tapping from different angles.

Alternatively, you can use a nail, but this method will leave small holes. You'll feel increased resistance when the nail hits a joist. Mark the spot and repeat the process every 16 or 24 inches to map the joist locations. This method is considered less reliable than using a stud finder.

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. 

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.
