"They did a good job. I was just hoping it would stop my wood floors from creaking but they are worse. Overall believe the work done will be good for the house support though"
"Mr. Parnell and his helper Austin were great. They did everything we asked them to do and more. I highly recommend them on any home renovation project!!!"
"The team at GoPro was fantastic. After trying other local businesses with no response, or having to chase them down to schedule the project, I came back to Home Advisor to see if I had better luck. I did! The owner of GoPro, Chuck, responded to me quickly and booked my job immediately. The day of the project, they arrived on time and went through all of my project items with me. They were professional, knowledgeable, and courteous. The owner checked in with me multiple times by message and in person on each day of the job. The lead on the project, David, went out of his way to do great work and provide me with additional information and options along the way. When the job required additional guys, they too were on time, professional, and got the job done! Finally, the job was reasonably priced and fair. Chuck came back after the work was done to make sure I was happy with the work. I highly recommend GoPro and will definitely be booking them for my future projects."
"Contractor exceeded expectations. Contractor diagnosed issue and resolved, even when project became more complicated. Project started as simple door and frame replacement because of water damage, and turned into larger and longer project that required replacing studs, drywall, and repainting in addition to door frame replacement due to old termite damage because door frame would not secure to damaged studs. Overall, highly recommend Huffs for going above and beyond in repair."
"We were looking to nstall crown moulding but i didn't have the tools or expeience to tackle the job. With the cost of the materials today its not something you want to have a lot of mistakes with. I reached out to D&M and had them come out to give me a quote. A few days later and everything looks great. All the corner joints are tight and it has made a huge difference for us. I plan on calling them again when we replace our cabinets."

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.
When hanging a door frame, it’s recommended that you use screws, not nails. Screws are more secure, easier to tighten, and easier to remove if you need to adjust the frame. On average, the cost to replace a door frame is about $400, but you can save on labor costs if you’re confident in your ability to DIY the project.
To calculate the number of linear feet of baseboard you’ll need, measure the length of each wall of the room you’re installing them in as close to the floor as possible, rounding up to the next full linear foot. If it’s your first DIY molding job, having a few extra feet on hand for miscuts is a good idea.
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.
Removing a load-bearing wall affects the structural integrity of your home, so you’ll need a permit before starting the work. Building codes vary by municipality, and obtaining a permit and having the work inspected after completion will ensure you’re in compliance with all applicable regulations.
