AS A SEMI-RETIRED GENERAL CONTRACTOR WITH 45 YEARS IN THE TRADE, I HAVE THE LICENSES, BONDING AND ABILITY TO DO ANYTHING CONSTRUCTION RELATED. I LIKE SMALLER PROJECTS AND COMING UP WITH CREATIVE SOLUTIONS. AREAS OF SERVICE ARE THE IRON RIVER, WI AREA, ASHLAND AND THE SOUTH SHORE, BUT COULD EXTEND TO THE TWIN PORTS. Spend winter months in Florida

"I'm very pleased. The response was prompt and the repair was expertly done. The communication was perfect and friendly. I highly recommend this company!"

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

When building a house, it is customary to use 16d nails that measure 3 1/2 inches in length to construct the frame. These nails are crucial in providing the necessary support and stability for structural elements like joists and studs, which ensures a sturdy framework.

Not all porch columns are load-bearing, though they can be. Some porch columns are simply decorative. There are ways to identify a load-bearing column, like looking for visible seams and a foundation. Also, check to see if the column directly enters the ground. In some porch installations, a contractor will excavate a hole to install a column into the earth along with a buried cement base for stability.

If the bowing basement wall is less than 2 inches, steel or carbon fiber straps are the best solution. For bowing that is more than 2 inches, wall anchors are the most effective. A contractor can help you decide the best method of repair for your home's foundation and also address the root cause of the trouble.
