"He installed the generator and serviced it for $5777.00 and everything was great. We then purchased a new home in January 2017 and he was able to move the generator and reinstall it at our new home for $1,016.00. It went perfectly. They were great people doing a great job because they knew what they were doing. The generator still works and we have had no problems. I would recommend him to everyone."

"I did not use this contractor to do the job after all. Their estimate was very expensive and more than I wanted to spend at the time. However, I know they would have done a wonderful job. They were very friendly and professional. Would contact for future work.

"Paul Fortson was our handyman and he did an awesome job! The list of tasks was long and varied, and included building a partial wall, installing doors, running a little plumbing, moving an electric switch, drywall repair, painting, cutting and putting up molding, installing bath fixtures and grab bars, installing insulation and carpet, basically a little of everything. Paul was skilled, professional, reliable, trustworthy and respectful, everything you would want in a contractor. When necessary, he was creative about finding solutions, which you definitely need with old houses like mine. Would definitely recommend his services!"

"Crown Development did an amazing job with my basement renovations - they removed an existing wet bar, and reinstalled a new wet bar, cabinets, countertops, hardwood flooring, etc. I hired several contractors before coming in contact with this company, and none of them have compared to Crown Development. The quality, customer service, timeliness, and prices are unmatched."

Unfinished 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.

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.

Yes, ceiling joists are typically load-bearing. However, their primary function is to support the weight of the ceiling and loads applied to it, like lighting fixtures and ceiling fans. They can also help support the roof, especially if they’re part of truss systems. Remember, the load-bearing capacity of ceiling joists depends on the material, size, and space between them. 

Removing a load-bearing wall is best handled by professionals. However, if you have the skill set and decide to DIY the project, you will still need at least one additional person to assist you. Aside from helping with demolition, you'll need another hand to install the new support beam.

While some highly experienced homeowners can frame a house independently, it is not advisable. You will need ample carpentry experience, a team of helpers, and professionals to sign off on your work to meet local building codes. For the safest outcome, we recommend buying or building a house with the guidance of professionals.
