"Mike and his team were amazing. He was the most responsive contractor I’ve ever met, always responding to texts right away. He explained things along the way and was always texting/calling me with updates. I would highly recommend Mike and Cahaba building group for any of your remodeling/building needs"

"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!"

"Al was very kind and straightforward. He did initially tried to charge me a little more than the average for the area but after I explained that I had done research for the labor costs and already have materials he got the cost significantly also mention that you found him on Angie's List. I am very pleased with how the floor looks they did a very quick job some very weird layouts because my house is strange though I love its eccentricity. Though it takes a long time to book him because he is usually busy he works very fast, but not sloppily, and the work was completed in approximately 4 days with a small crew of three one of whom was his son. we are almost done with most of our work but I'm a call him back for some minor repairs thing that needs to be completed the only complaint I have is that at least one of the workers is a smoker and I found a few cigarette butts in my yard or in the bushes next to where they were sawing which was not very pleasant. That is a minor complaint though because as contractors go they show up on time and they get the work done and they get the work done well; which, I don't know if you use very many contractors, is unusual and a good thing. Overall I would use them again in a heartbeat and I would suggest them to other people.

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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. 

The primary parts of a house that need framing during construction are floors, exterior walls, interior walls, and the roof. The framing in these areas provides the skeleton for adding other materials over the top. With walls, for example, contractors can hang drywall over the interior walls and siding over the outside of the exterior walls. Proper framing ensures a sturdy house that is built to last.

When deciding whether to use nails or screws for framing, the specific needs of the project must be taken into account. Nails have long been the go-to option for framing due to their affordability, ease of installation, and ability to withstand shear forces. They are perfect for structural framing projects where fast assembly is essential. In contrast, screws offer exceptional holding power and are particularly useful in situations requiring increased strength and resistance to pull-out forces. For projects that prioritize accuracy and long-lasting quality, screws may be the preferred option, though nails remain a dependable and efficient choice.

Enhances property value, ensures safety, and provides a sound basis for future construction.

House framing can be expensive because the materials are pricey, and the job requires a high level of expertise. The more complex the plans, the more expensive the job, but even the most basic frame needs to be installed with high-quality materials and precision. When pricing your home’s framework, remember that a sturdy frame is necessary to create a safe structure.
