"Michael Roderick from coal river properties was the professional who took care of our home repair needs. We had a bathroom leak that caused drywall damage. We were contacted within a few hours after making an inquiry on home advisor and within 2 days Mr. Roderick was on the job. He assessed the situation, gave a very reasonable estimate and made the appropriate repairs in an efficient manner with meticulous craftsmanship. I’d highly recommend."

Customers say: True professional

"Second Nature Home Improvement did a fantastic job for us. Owner Tommy Jones is extremely knowledgeable on all things painting and remodeling. His crew arrived right on time and got right to work. They painted all the baseboards, door facings, some walls, bedroom closets, and also repaired drywall and cracks in the walls. They covered all my furniture and cleaned up after they completed the work! They knew I had a timeline and worked hard to finish early! Such a nice and respectable crew. I highly recommend Second Nature Home Improvement!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

There are a few easy ways to locate a wall stud without a stud finder. First, try knocking on the wall with your knuckles. Most parts of the wall will sound hollow, but when you tap over a stud, it will sound more solid. Alternatively, since studs are spaced 16 or 24 inches apart, you can measure those distances from a corner of the room, which will always have a stud.

Yes, a one-story house can have a load-bearing wall. The load-bearing walls in a single-story home are usually the exterior walls. If the house has a basement with exposed walls, the arrangement of the beams can help indicate what walls are load-bearing.

Framing is the shell of the house. It includes several steps, including studs, plumbing, and electricity. A professional will ensure the wall frame is secured for the house’s structural integrity. 

Framing prices change depending on the material and whether the wall is load-bearing. Most contractors use wood to frame a home, but metal is another popular choice.

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.

Professionals ensure precise alignment and durability, critical for structural integrity.
