"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

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.

Balcony construction or replacement typically requires a building permit from your local permitting authority. Safety and building integrity are the main reasons for the need to obtain a permit and the subsequent inspections. In some cases, especially cantilevered balconies, your municipality may also require the oversight and signature of a structural engineer.

Learning how to frame a house includes picking the right lumber for the job. Most people will want to pick pine, spruce, or fir for the framing. These types of lumber are affordable and produce sturdy framing for structures. Look for kiln-dried lumber to reduce the risk of shrinkage or insect damage after installation. As part of what’s included in framing a house when you hire a professional, the contractor should order the lumber, so you don’t have to worry about finding the right lumber.

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

Most load-bearing walls are exterior, though they can also be interior.
