"Job was completed per request. After we pointed out our concerns, they worked with us to completion. It took slightly longer to complete, but it was well worth the wait. Many other contractors would probably walk and not address any concerns, but BeHome finished. I would strongly recommend BeHome to do your job. They are professional and friendly."

"Sky Tech Builders recently finished my kitchen renovation and I'm so glad I hired them for that project because they exceed my expectations. I also contacted some other contractors but just felt that Sky Tech is most reliable company for that work. They also gave me very acceptable offer so it was a great deal. I love my new kitchen. it looks phenomenal and it's also very functional, much more functional than before. I can't recommend enough this excellent contractor! Thank you Sky Tech Builders!"

Customers say: True professional

"Working with Kris & Aaron is a true pleasure, which is unusual when working with contractors. They are lovely men who are honest and trustworthy and who also take huge pride in doing things correctly. No cutting corners or cheap stuff for them. They have done things like replace my skylight, build fences, add electrical lights/outlets/etc. I would trust them with anything. Because they are also excellent landscapers, they actually know plants and landscaping and have done wonderful things with my gardens. Thank you Kris & Aaron!"

"I contracted Gili at Clever Design and Remodeling for a bathroom remodel along with all of our family room, part of the kitchen, and cabinets, and could not be more pleased with the results. It was a huge job, to say the least! Gili is an excellent interior designer. The project took approximately 6 working days. We removed a tub/shower combo and turned it into a standing shower with frameless glass doors and sandstone tile throughout. Who knew just changing the colors of the cabinets would transform my kitchen! My outdated bathroom has been instantly updated and it looks beautiful. I am already thinking of hiring them to paint our bedrooms too!"

"We are very happy with this company. They have done some work at our townhouse and we are definitely hiring them for any other future renovations. It is so difficult to find a contractor you can trust and when we met Ofer, we are very pleased. He is easy to talk to and he listened to what we want to get done and worked with our budget."

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

Most load-bearing walls are exterior, though they can also be interior.

Yes, you can find ceiling joists using simple tools if a stud finder isn't available.

Using a hammer requires patience and a keen ear. Gently tap the ceiling in a grid pattern, listening for sound changes. A hollow sound indicates space between joists, while a solid, dull thud suggests a joist. Mark the location with a pencil and confirm by tapping from different angles.

Alternatively, you can use a nail, but this method will leave small holes. You'll feel increased resistance when the nail hits a joist. Mark the spot and repeat the process every 16 or 24 inches to map the joist locations. This method is considered less reliable than using a stud finder.

A few signs that you need a new door frame include:

  • The door no longer fits properly in its frame and sticks or scrapes.

  • You notice cracks, holes, or rotting.

  • You feel a draft coming from around the door when it’s closed.

  • You find yourself frequently needing to make repairs.

Learning how to frame a house includes picking the right lumber for the job. Most people will want to pick pine, spruce, or fir for the framing. These types of lumber are affordable and produce sturdy framing for structures. Look for kiln-dried lumber to reduce the risk of shrinkage or insect damage after installation. As part of what’s included in framing a house when you hire a professional, the contractor should order the lumber, so you don’t have to worry about finding the right lumber.
