"The Meinen crew, including the carpenter and painters performed an excellent job restoring rotted and defective siding and trim. They removed light fixtures and drain pipes rather than paint around them. They were dependable and professional. The home looked fantastic upon completion. I would highly recommend Meinen Homes,LLC to perform you remodel and or paint work!"

"Ryan gave me a quote AND he COMMITTED TO A DATE & TIME over the phone. I asked him to text me at work so I could come home, and be there when he started the work, which he did. HE WAS THERE ON TIME and finished the work in the quoted time. I have added him to my FAVORITES and will use him again. If you are looking for someone dependable, that values YOUR time as much as he does his time, you might want to give Ryan a call."

Customers say: Super punctual

"Dave, along with Granite Plus was hired to renovate our kitchen counter. Dave's job was to cut down the counter from bar height to counter height. Expertise in carpentry, drywalling, painting, plumbing and electrical was necessary. Dave coordinated these specialties along with the Granite Plus folks such that the entire project was completed on schedule and without issues. While dust was a given during the project, Dave sealed off the kitchen in a floor to ceiling plastic room and utilized an air purifier to nearly eliminate the spread of dust. Each night his crew "Swiffered" the kitchen clean. Our old sink & plumbing was functional but for only one day! Then, promptly after Granite Plus installed the new quartz countertop, Dave's guys returned to install the new sink, etc. All was seamless! Dave and his crew did such an impressive job, I hired him thereafter to change out 2 ceiling fans, 3 ceiling lights and retrofit the kitchen cabinet drawers & doors with soft closure hardware. Upcoming, Dave has been hired again to perform additional plumbing and electrical work in our condo. You can depend on Dave!"

"Jake tackled a bunch of items to help us get our house ready to list for sale. He handles everything from electrical to carpentry and when I wasn’t sure on the best path he would jump into figuring it out. The tile work was a partial demo and re-tiling and he made sure every transition looked great. For example: The location of the pattern, finished edges with Schluter, grout color matches…he really puts a lot of thought into the details. He was a great communicator, timely, professional, and a positive presence in my home. Would definitely recommend 10/10."

Carpentry FAQs, answered by experts

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, professional installations include reinforced corner posts to ensure durability.

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.

Professionals charge between $60 and $95 per hour to install ornamental porch columns. The amount of time they need varies based on the condition of the porch, whether they need to remove old columns, and if there is any damage to your porch's structure. This cost can increase if more issues come up during the installation process.

The primary parts of a house that need framing during construction are floors, exterior walls, interior walls, and the roof. The framing in these areas provides the skeleton for adding other materials over the top. With walls, for example, contractors can hang drywall over the interior walls and siding over the outside of the exterior walls. Proper framing ensures a sturdy house that is built to last.
