"We couldn’t have asked for a better experience than working with RCD to remodel our kitchen! Tim won us over from the start - great communication, listened to all our Pinterest inspired ideas and pulled every string he could to keep us within budget. Then he introduced us the dream team of contractors. MVP goes to Art, the incredibly talented contractor. He and Daniel transformed our kitchen in a few short weeks and brought such great attitudes to the job. The kitchen is absolutely stunning and we’ve gotten so many compliments. We couldn’t be happier and can’t wait to do more work with this team."

"It took us time to find a contractor. We got over Six quotes only two contractors actually sent us a bid. Ben was very responsive. He sent us the quote within a week from the visit. We were very satisfied with the process. We were always in the know. We have done renovations In the past with contractors and we were always not pleased with not knowing the schedule. We finally found someone we can trust and will definitely be using him again. Thank you again Ben it was a pleasure meeting you and working with you."

"Mark Halpert was an absolute joy to work with. We contracted with him to remodel both of the bathrooms in our condo. From bid through completion, Mark was totally involved with his workers in completing the work. He was generally on-site at least once a day to check on progress, give guidance to his workers, and to answer any questions we might have had. Along the way, he listened to what we wanted and also made suggestions that improved the end product. As in any big job like this, we hit a few hiccups with material availability and minor changes. Mark took all of these in stride with a great degree of calmness and professionalism that enabled work to progress and maintain schedule. Most of the work was completed by Mark's workers - Braulio and Rafi. If you do contract with Mark, I would recommend you ask for these two gentlemen. They were friendly, punctual, and they always asked us for what we wanted or preferred with all of the tiny little details - such as exactly where we wanted the knobs placed on the vanity doors and drawers. In addition, they cleaned up every day - as much could be expected in a construction environment - which made our living with the on-gong work as comfortable as it could be. All in all, our experience with Halpert Construction could not have been better. I would heartily recommend Mark and his team to anyone looking to work on their homes. We would certainly hire him again if we have projects in the future."

"After meeting with several contractors, I met Ryan and instinctually knew he was the right choice. In fact it was the best decision. I purchased a place that needed a remodel badly. We had a limited time and budget to do everything. Not only did he and his team finish on time and budget, the remodel turned out even more beautiful than I imagined. Ryan and his team realized an even better version of my vision. He was a great collaborator, figuring out how and enhancing my ideas and always mindful of the cost. I will work with Ryan and his team again. I highly recommend him."

"I reached out to DB Construction needing my ceiling repaired and repainted due to a leak in my condo. David and Daniel were extermely easy to reach, prompt, and professional. The scope of work was clear from the beginning to end. Their quality of work was superb as well. They were receptive to my needs, which is greatly appreciated considering that this is a smaller scale job. I also appreciate their awareness and courtesy while working in my condo; they were conscious of the noise that was created and even made sure to clean any common areas where they tracked. Thanks so much! You have a customer for life. :)"

Unfinished Carpentry FAQs, answered by experts

The best way to calculate framing costs is by basing your costs on the square footage of your home. On average, framing your home could cost anywhere between $7 and $16 per square foot. 

To ensure you don’t go over budget, base your estimates on the higher end of the price range. If you know you’re going to use high-end materials or require a custom or complex build, you might even want to tack on an additional 5% of your budget.

Modern brick houses are really stick-built homes with a brick facade for aesthetic purposes only, so most have framing. With genuine brick construction, most homeowners install furring strips over the interior of the brick and then install drywall over those strips to cover the brick wall, so they don’t have traditional framing.

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. 

Yes, you will need a jack for a rim joist replacement. To prevent sagging and facilitate the removal of load-bearing wood, you’ll need to relieve the pressure from this joint before beginning work. 

Due to hydraulics and other specialized equipment, a sill plate and rim joist replacement are not typically a DIY project. Hiring a professional structural engineer and experienced contractors is the best approach to replacing rotted sill plates and rim joists.

The average cost of DIY window framing is about $40 to $60 in materials. If you hire a window treatment professional, you’ll pay for materials plus labor costs—anywhere from $250 to $800 per window. The final cost is highly dependent on the window size, as larger windows are heavier and more difficult to install, as well as the type of window framing material.
