"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."

"Jonathan built a trellis in our backyard and was able to save the vine while also building a trellis that is sturdy and will be long lasting. He had great suggestions on how to build the trellis so it won't rot. His communication is great and the quality of his work is top notch. I appreciate the value of his work and wouldn't hesitate to hire him for other projects."

"Joe, Abel, and Crew did an awesome job building our 28’x8’ Timbertech deck, 25’ elevated on a hillside. Joe worked closely with the Mill Valley permitting office to get the engineering plans approved, and once we got the green light the deck shot right up! We’re extremely happy we chose them to build the deck and would happily recommend for anyone looking at similar projects."

"STOP if you are wondering who to hire, think no further because Leonel is for you! Our project was to takeover the work of a previous contractor, Leonel stepped in and boy did he come through...taking on a project that was pulled apart by someone else is hard enough but taking on one such as the magnitude of ours and completing it early goes to show what an incredible craftsman Leonel is. He was very articulate in making sure he was on track and following the guidelines, he communicated daily with arrival times and any access or requirements he might need. The quality of his work is superior, everything looks wonderful and its all thanks to Leonel."

"We decided to remodel our outdated bathroom, and McCormick Home Builders was a fantastic choice. Khaled and the team delivered high-quality work within the timeline and our budget. Every detail, from the tile work to the lighting, was beautifully done. They communicated well throughout, keeping us informed at every step, and the end result was truly a spa-like bathroom we can enjoy daily. We’d love to work with them again!"

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Most of the time, you’ll want to use screws on your subfloor rather than nails. Nails can actually weaken plywood, whereas screws can easily penetrate without damage. They also form a more secure connection because of their shape, preventing squeaky floors and tightly holding the subfloor in place. That said, some contractors do prefer nails depending on the type of floor covering because they allow for more flexibility.

Accurate measurements, sturdy materials, and seamless integration with other structures.

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.

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.

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.
