"Mike and his crew were a pleasure to work with. They were very professional, friendly, and went above and beyond to ensure the process went smooth as possible and that our covered patio turned out exactly how we wanted it. They were very knowledgeable and paid close attention to detail to ensure everything was perfect and to our liking. We are planning to remodel more of our house in the future. We will be using Cahaba Building Group again because of how much we enjoyed working with them and how great of a job they performed. We highly recommend them to anyone who is wanting to remodel their home!"

"Jose and his crew did an amazing job replacing my driveway. At the consultation meeting as well as in the statement of work, Jose provided a detailed explanation of what the job would entail, the materials and processes that he would use, and addressed all of my concerns. He worked with me on pricing to fit my budget. Everything was completed quickly and efficiently, with meticulous attention to detail, from the demo of the existing driveway to pressure washing the street to make sure no mess was left behind. Jose personally inspected the entire driveway, and stopped by a few times to ensure it was curing correctly. He is professional, courteous and personable, and I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone and would definitely reach out to him again for future projects."

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Building involves setting foundation posts, framing with durable wood, adding roofing support, and protecting from elements with water-resistant finishes.

Carpenters are trained to take on a wide range of home projects. You can hire a carpenter to do framing, roofing, build custom furniture, and make significant upgrades to your home. General carpenters are usually able to handle most jobs. However, you may also choose to hire a carpenter who specializes in a specific type of carpentry. 

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.

Using a steel frame may raise the value of your home. Steel is more heat resistant, has better longevity, and doesn’t need any upkeep compared to traditional wood. You can also customize a steel build a little easier than other materials like brick, concrete, and vinyl—which have trouble bending and adapting to renovations.

A-frame homes are on the smaller side. While there’s no set square footage amount it has to be, it will usually come in around 1,000 square feet or smaller.
