"I hired them to remodel my kitchen, two bathrooms, paint and install new flooring and staircase.They did a good job. I was not happy with the first set of cabinets and James set up a consultation with the cabinet maker so we could come to a fair agreement. James is a really good communicator, he would call or text at the end of the day to let me know what they did and then to tell me what they were doing the next day and at what time they would arrive."

"Juan Carlos was timely, respectful, conscientious, and above all, very skilled with his craft. He repaired furniture, built and installed built-ins for my shed that were worthy of being installed in my living room. His work is quality and the business end was seamless. Juan Carlos is the first and only craftsman I’ve ever met who does a thorough cleaning after he completes his day. 10/10 definitely would rehire."

"JC and his crew saved our house building project! They did everything from rough framing to hardwood flooring and ceiling installation to building 3 large decks. When we needed additional subcontactors, JC put us in touch with others who helped us finish our project on time!"

"Our roofing system—insulation, ventilation, and surface—needed thoughtful replacement. After years of worry, having contractors ghost us, no one willing to look at the project holistically, and sleepless nights, Regulus Building Company LLC stepped in and did an outstanding job. He inspected the situation, came up with a thoughtful plan based on current best practices, hired excellent sub-contractors, and completed the project on time and at a fair price. Unusual in this industry , there was excellent communication from start to finish. We couldn’t be more satisfied and highly recommend Regulus!!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

The best way to calculate framing costs is by basing your costs on the square footage of your home. On average, framing your home could cost anywhere between $7 and $16 per square foot. 

To ensure you don’t go over budget, base your estimates on the higher end of the price range. If you know you’re going to use high-end materials or require a custom or complex build, you might even want to tack on an additional 5% of your budget.

When choosing a drywall anchor, consider the weight of the object you're hanging and how much weight the anchor will need to support. The heavier the weight, the stronger the anchor you'll need. You’ll find the weight capacity on the packaging when shopping for anchors. 

Also, remember that you can use more than one anchor when hanging something on the wall. If you're using multiple anchors, divide the object weight by the number of anchors to determine how much each will need to support. If you need help deciding which drywall anchor to use, you can hire a handyperson to hang your objects. 

Your local building code will list all the framing requirements for whatever type of structure you're building. Most exterior walls require spacing of 16 inches on-center, while many non-load-bearing interior walls only require 24 inches of spacing. However, there are also varying requirements depending on your construction material, so checking your municipality's rules is essential.
