Our distinction is the quality of service we bring to our customers. Accurate knowledge of our trade combined with ability is what makes us true professionals. Above all, we are watchful of our customers interests and make their concerns the basis of our business.

"I bought my first home and it needed some work before I moved in. I called Isaiah and asked for a bid to do some flooring. After seeing his work and reasonable pricing the original floor job turned into him painting the whole interior of the house for me, new trim and baseboards, and even building all new shelving and racks in my closet. I could not rate his work or the business man that he is high enough. I would highly recommend him to anybody that is needing any kind of work done. His work speaks for itself, but having somebody doing work on your place that does what he says he is going to do and being there when he says he will be there is a hard thing to find today."

"OK here goes. The gentleman was very polite. I showed him what I needed done and went back into the house to get the money we discussed I pay. He came to the door said he was done---I paid him, cause the back of the house gutters looked ok. When my son came up, he said the front gutters were NOT cleaned. I feel that I got RIPPED OFF, cause I paid for front and back to be cleaned. Because he was so nice, I figured I would not have to recheck his work, however, I would not hire him again, or recommend him to anyone. He is NOT a good representative for your company."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Stick frames, metal frames, or prefabricated concrete frames are included in framing a house, along with creating the framework and space for windows, doors, and entryways. Other aspects of developing a home—like drywall, insulation, windows, doors, and more—are not included in the cost to frame a house.

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.

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.

In framing, studs are placed at 16-inch intervals to coincide with the typical spacing of wall materials such as drywall or plywood. This spacing is called "on-center" and is necessary for maintaining structural stability and efficient use of materials. The 16-inch spacing also helps to distribute the weight evenly across the building's structure. For those looking to cut material costs and improve energy efficiency, 24-inch stud spacing can be employed through a method called "advanced framing". This requires careful planning and adherence to local building codes to ensure structural integrity.

You can choose 5/8-inch plywood or 3/4-inch plywood—anything thinner than these sizes may not withstand the impact of debris propelled by strong winds or can be easily torn off by intruders. Remember that the durability of the wood board is crucial, particularly for safeguarding your windows during severe storms. The effectiveness of using wood boards for protecting the investment you made in your home relies on using the appropriate material and ensuring proper installation.
