"Thanksgiving of 2019, I had a house fire and we hired Steve Walden as the contractor to do a complete renovation. At the beginning of the process, we should have immediately fired him. He was not truthful and his employees told us but we did not listen. Our floors are buckling, the temporary electrical pole is still in our yard, the top part of the electrical box is exposed, the french doors were not installed properly and they used different screws to mount the doors. One of our AC units stopped working. We called Mainline Heating and Air only to find out that they were stealing power from the unit to use for a plug they installed. Now the plug does not work. A part of my roof is leaking. The tub they installed is leaking at the bottom, Sheetwork work is horrible. So many issues from calk to paint. I am using all platforms so people can be cautious before hiring this company. They had trash in my yard and the employees act in the house and left food on the floor. I even had to complain because an employee used the bathroom and left stains on my new toilet. I wish I could upload pictures to show the final work. My complaints will not stop here, but I am using every platform so consumers can be aware of this company. His crew finally left my property around Sept 2020 and the work is still incomplete. Update 6-9-2021 ----Walden Home Improvements came back and corrected all the issues I was having!"

"I had several small projects to complete, including replacement/installation of a bathroom vent fan, replacement of a dryer vent hose and minor deck and fence repairs. Micah Douglas was responsive, knowledgeable and friendly. I am very happy with the quality of the work done and would hire him again."

"Jose and his crew were prompt and thorough and did a great job on a much shorter time frame than I expected. Unlike many contractors, they cleaned up after themselves and left everything better than they found it. The finish on my driveway is excellent And the workmanship outstanding. I would definitely recommend him for any concrete jobs you have"

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Framing with metal studs can be significantly faster than using wooden studs, provided you have some experience working with the material. While you can use virtually instant pneumatic nailers with wood, metal requires installing screws. However, because metal is lighter, straighter, usually comes cut-to-length, and doesn't require sorting for the best pieces, you can save significant time using metal instead of wood.

While framing a basement is not as difficult as finishing a basement, it's something you should typically leave to the pros. That’s because if something is installed correctly, it will affect your entire basement. However, you can take care of some of the smaller tasks, like filling holes or putting up some insulation.

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.

For maximum stability, install grab bars on wall studs, as this will adequately support the weight. However, if you don't have access to studs, you can get by with wall anchors. If opting for the latter, choose specialty hollow wall anchors. 

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.
