"CLC did an amazing job on our deck. They had the answers to all our questions. They pay attention to detail. We had several passerby’s ask for their card. They finished the job in a decent timeframe, considering the weather. We will have them do any projects for us in the future. We are very pleased with our new deck! Thank you CLC."

"David and Josh are the best! They have done multiple projects around our home. I would highly recommend this company for any job large or small. They are very professional, honest, hard working and meticulous and the costs are reasonable. They totally understand your needs and what they have to do to accomplish the task at hand. We have hired them to installed exterior and interior doors, correct some small plumbing issues, some bathroom remodeling, tree removal. You name it and Im sure they can do it. We will have them back in the spring for additional outdoor work we need done. I can't say enough about much we like and trust this company and the work they have done for us."

Carpentry questions, 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.

Framing a basement takes three to five days, on average, when completed by a professional, though it may take longer for a larger space. Keep in mind this doesn’t include the time to complete the design, obtain permits, and install the drywall on the framing. On average, fully finishing a basement takes an average of 45 days.

You should avoid drilling or cutting into load-bearing beams because removing material will weaken it and increase the risk of structural damage or even collapse. If you do need to drill into a load-bearing beam, speak with a structural engineer first to discuss where it’s safest to drill and the width and depth of the bit that’s safe to use.

It’s best to use two screws to secure deck boards into every joist. Securing the boards to every joist makes the deck more structurally sound, while using two screws on the outer sides of the boards can help prevent warping and cupping.

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.
