"I hired Mr. Workman because he had great reviews on a number of projects. I needed the roof replaced on a 20 year old 8x10 shed. He and his helper had the job performed in a half a day, cleaned up the area well. I felt the price was quite reasonable."

Customers say: True professional

"Second Nature Home Improvement team was awesome. I got a free estimate for all the work we needed. They sent the contracts same night. So I agreed, they went to work the next Monday from when they came out. Very knowledgeable team, no matter what we needed they did it all, Bathroom Remodel, Flooring,Plumbing, Electrical work, outside hand rail, dishwasher hook up with pluming new electric outlets, they switched out an entire window for us. Water proofing part of the basement. Door repair, and a ton of small projects, the List goes on.... they literally do it all. Also anything the team saw that was an issue with our house Tommy would call to let us know. Super quick to suggest repairs of the said issues, and super quick with price quote. The original quote was for 1 month of work. even with all the extra stuff we kept adding on. The team finished everything in less then a months time. the pictures below don't even begin to do justice, nor really show the terrific work they did. If you saw the before and after, looks like a completely different house. Very trust worthy team. We weren't living at the house during the remodel. We had just bought the house and had not moved in yet. Gave team the code to the front door. Gave them complete trust in our house and doing the awesome work they did. also I was over an hour away so most of our communication was by text, or phone calls, and photos. They were on the same page as me the entire remodel. This company has our future business, and anyone that I know that needs any kind of work done for the history of the company. If you are looking for a company you can trust and get the job done right, look no more. My family and I recommend Second Nature Home Improvement. Thank you Guys for all your hard work, our hose looks awesome because of you."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Begin by analyzing the blueprints and gathering the proper materials before framing a house. With the prep stages behind you, begin by framing the floor of a house on the newly set foundation. Exterior and interior walls come next, along with rough openings for doors and windows. Contractors will then add ceiling and roof rafters to finish things off. 

Baseboards don’t have to be nailed into studs. However, nailing them into studs adds to their stability. When studs aren’t available, you can secure them with drywall nails directly into the drywall and adhesive. Always aim to nail into studs, especially in high-traffic or impact-prone areas.

Joists do distribute their load to beams, but they don’t sit on top of the beams. Instead, home builders nail or screw the joists directly to the beams such that the end of the joist butts up against the edge of the beam. Beams can sit on other beams for support, but you’ll never see a joist sitting on top of a beam or another joist.

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.

For a professional carpenter, installing a window seat can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days, depending on some aspects of the project. Aside from building the seat itself, if they have to remove any cabinets, shelves, or baseboards, that will add time to the project.
