Framing

Framing is equivalent to the skeleton of the body whereas the walls would be the skin. If the framing is completed poorly, the house is doomed. There are 2 types of walls (1). Load-bearing and (2). Non-bearing. These walls are made from a series of vertical studs (Usually 2x4s or 2x6s) spaced equally apart (Usually 16 or 24 inches) and capped on the op and the bottom by horizontal plates. The plates may be either single or double, depending on whether the wall is load-bearing. Framing also includes the Flooring. A floor is a series of Joists(Usually 2x8s, 2x10s or 2x12s) spaced equally apart (Usually 12, 16 or 24 inches). At the foundation level, the joints rest on Sills, pieces of wood (Usually 10 Ft 2x6s) that are bolted to the concrete foundation. A Grinder is a beam that often runs the length of the house to offer support to the joists. The Floor Header is a board at the end of the joists. The Subfloor rests directly on top of the joists


Sheetrock

The first step in this process is to check the framing to make sure you have adequate nailing surfaces and to identify any major areas that are out of square. Once the drywall is hung properly, a taper will begin the process of “filling in the gaps” between the sheetrock pieces.

Window Repair / Installation

Windows are a crucial element in utility costs and marketability. Although this is a service that often thought to have the least significance, it adds value instantly as well as long term. Knowing the City Code for installation is mandatory.

Insulation

Installing the proper type of Insulation in the exterior walls, attic, and basement or crawl space minimizes the heat flow through the walls, ceiling, and floor.

There are 2 common forms of Insulation: (1). Fiberglass Roll – This is unraveled and secured between the spaces in the framing. (2). Cellulose This material is blown in between the gaps in the walls.

Exterior Painting

Painting the Exterior tends to be more challenging than painting the Interior due to uniqueness of the surfaces and material of the exterior. Providing an accurate bid based on the challenges and detail work need is essential.
