"Cecil did a great job remodeling a rental property bathroom. He took it down to the studs and replaced the bathtub, drywall and flooring. He got the work done quickly and it looks great. I would recommend him and will use him again in the future."

"I chose Platinum Framing & Roofing, LLC to replace my leaking roof and I believe I made an excellent decision. The owner, A Maines, quoted a reasonable price for a lot of work. I was impressed with his obvious expertise and he answered each question in detail and with patience. His crew worked diligently and obviously took pride in a job well done. They were courteous and thorough. The color I chose was readily available and looks beautiful. Every line is straight and the added cricket, which I requested, will end the years long leaking around the chimney. I was kept updated on the job as it progressed over the day and a half it required. Mr. Maines and his crew thoroughly cleaned up everything before they left. From getting the permit to cleanup everything was done very well. I recommend this company."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Bump-out additions can extend anywhere from 2 to 15 feet from an existing room. The right size will depend on how you plan to use the new space. For a cantilever bump-out, which doesn't require additional foundation support, the limit is typically 24 inches (2 feet). If a footing and foundation are part of the project, a bump-out can be much larger, even encompassing a whole room. It's also important to remember that many residential properties have limits on the total house size relative to the lot size.

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.

A cross brace for a fence gate should stretch from the top corner of the gate’s hinge side to the bottom corner of its latch side at a 45-degree angle to the bottom of the gate. This positioning distributes the bulk of the gate’s weight to the base of the post, taking pressure off the top hinge.

One of the most common house framing basics for decades has been using wood for the framing work. However, some framing contractors now suggest using steel frames. Steel is lightweight, resistant to fire, and resistant to moisture, all of which are areas where wood framing could cause problems. However, steel framing is more expensive than wood and limits your ability to insulate the home.

Yes, professionals can install new frames, trim, and threshold adjustments for a complete finish.
