"My wife and I were so grateful for Country Remodeling and Renovation LLC to come to our house repair our leaking water pipes. I called Dakota and he came out the same day and was able to replace old water pipes that were running from my front yard to under my house. Dakota and his co-worker work ho*** ** getting my house water lines back to normal. His quote on the repairs was honest and fair. Other plumber's quotes were not as fair as Dakota. My wife and I are going to call Country Remodeling and Renovation first on other house repairing jobs. It's hard these days to find a contractor that is honest and professional like Dakota. My wife and I thank you again Dakota for relieving us of a stressful house problem. If you need a house repairing job, I would call Dakota first."

"Lewis was professional, courteous, friendly, and helpful. He answered any questions I had, suggested things that would prevent other problems, and helped me with other improvements I was working on. My phone calls were either answered or returned within the hour. Anything I pointed out was taken care of. Prep work began 3 days after our initial meeting and painting soon followed. All work was done by Lewis with some prep work and painting done by Buddy. I had other contractors working in my home, and Lewis and Buddy worked around them. I am very happy with the results and would definitely hire HCP again.

"This contractor was the most responsive as noted in the timeline below.
Unfortunately, while in the final stages of the bid comparison process, this contractor withdrew their bid citing they were awarded a large job out of town.  
As part of the bid comparison process I sent each contractor a list of questions and clarifications.  This contractor answered most of my questions but not all.  In fact there was but one contractor who responded to every question, which is the contractor I have selected to complete the replacement of my roof.  
Timeline
30 July 2015:  Late Thursday night I contacted the contractor and requested a quotation.  The contractor responded the same night nothing they would call me the next day in order to arrange a time to view the job.
31 July 2015:  On Friday, as promised, the contractor called and left me a voice message requesting a time to walk the job.  I returned the call around noon and we scheduled the visit for the following day - Saturday.
01 August 2015:  Two representatives from the company arrived at the predetermined time and immediately went to work walking the job down.  They were very friendly and seemed quite knowledgeable regarding the work to be done.  They answered all my questions and made several recommendations for ensuring I received a quality roof replacement and a couple of areas I would be able to save money on the job.  The quotation was prepared onsite and provided to me before they left the property.
02 August 2015:  I received a message from the contractor apologizing for failing to provide me with the discount offered all Angie's List members.  I was told to subtract the discount amount from my total.
  30 August 2015:  On this Sunday night after reviewing all of my proposals, and in an attempt to ensure all were apples-to-apples, I sent each contractor a list of questions regarding their quotations.  As previous, this contractor was very punctual and responded to several of my questions the same night.  However, I noticed responses to a couple of the important questions had been overlooked. (see notes at top of page)
01 September 2015:  I sent the contractor a follow up email noting a couple of the questions had been overlooked in the initial response and asked that a response be provided as soon as possible.
02 September 2015:  I received a message via Angie's List and a phone message stating they must withdraw their bid due to being awarded a job out of town.  They apologized and assured me I would be in good hands "with the other contractors."

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Framing is the shell of the house. It includes several steps, including studs, plumbing, and electricity. A professional will ensure the wall frame is secured for the house’s structural integrity. 

Framing prices change depending on the material and whether the wall is load-bearing. Most contractors use wood to frame a home, but metal is another popular choice.

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. 

Learning how to frame a house includes picking the right lumber for the job. Most people will want to pick pine, spruce, or fir for the framing. These types of lumber are affordable and produce sturdy framing for structures. Look for kiln-dried lumber to reduce the risk of shrinkage or insect damage after installation. As part of what’s included in framing a house when you hire a professional, the contractor should order the lumber, so you don’t have to worry about finding the right lumber.

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. 

You should avoid drilling or cutting into load-bearing beams because removing material will weaken it and increase the risk of structural damage or even collapse. If you do need to drill into a load-bearing beam, speak with a structural engineer first to discuss where it’s safest to drill and the width and depth of the bit that’s safe to use.
