"Lrec did a fantastic job making some updates to my home. Ryan was very responsive and had quick solutions to roadblocks that were unexpected. He was very thorough, left the job site clean and ensured the work was completed to my satisfaction at a price point that is fair. I would recommend Lrec for any home projects."

"Aaron was extremely professional. I was not able to be in Eau Claire during any of the remodel. Aaron communicated with me - sharing pictures of the work he did. Very skilled and has a great eye for detail. I am definitely going to hire him for other projects. Extremely satisfied."

"Integrety decking is a great company. Tony Braker was our sales person and was super helpful in our color decisions. Tyler, Drew, Dacota, the crew that built our new deck were amazing. They were very professional and courteous and they did outstanding work. The Duxback rain shedding product is awesome."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

Duration varies by project size, but average-sized homes typically take a weeks.

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.

Yes, you will need a jack for a rim joist replacement. To prevent sagging and facilitate the removal of load-bearing wood, you’ll need to relieve the pressure from this joint before beginning work. 

Due to hydraulics and other specialized equipment, a sill plate and rim joist replacement are not typically a DIY project. Hiring a professional structural engineer and experienced contractors is the best approach to replacing rotted sill plates and rim joists.

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.
