"I’m very pleased with the service and work I received from Timber Wolf contractors and his crew. He contacted me and arranged a time to look at the work I needed done. He promptly sent me a quote. He set up a time between our schedules to build my spiral staircase and replace a window with a vent. He arrived on time and completed the job beyond my satisfacon. I was so pleased with the results and communication I received, that I hired them to come to my other home to install "Flooring for my sunroom, pantry and hallway. They also painted trim and upgraded my hardware on my kitchen cabinets. I felt very comfortable with Timber and left him a key so I could go to work. I highly recommend Timber Wolf contractors for your home projects, they are professional, polite and hardworking. Respectfully, A. Saint"

"Matt and team did a fantastic job! Every aspect of the job - responsiveness, punctuality, clean work (hung plastic for dust), and top quality work. Matt provided a schedule for each day of the job and actually finished ahead of schedule. The guys showed up every day on time and worked all day. I am exceptionally detail-oriented and so is Matt - all the details were handled perfectly. Matt worked with my electrician and handled all the HVAC work with his contractors. Worked perfectly! I would highly recommend Gove Restoration for any job they quote."

"Larry is the first contractor I have ever hired, and I am so glad I found him. He was a pleasure to work with. He did some drywall repair/install, and installed a new door for us. He was always in contact with me, and always updated me completely. His prices were so reasonable. I will absolutely be using him again for any of our home repairs."

"**Above and Beyond Kitchen Contractors – Absolutely Outstanding!** We recently had the pleasure of working with Ernest who is the owner of *Above and Beyond* for our kitchen remodel, and I couldn't be more thrilled with the results! From start to finish, the experience was seamless, professional, and above all, the craftsmanship is exceptional. The team was not only punctual and respectful, but they truly listened to our needs and vision. The quality of the work speaks for itself. Our kitchen has been completely transformed into a space that is both beautiful and functional. They really did go *Above and Beyond* in every sense of the phrase! Our home is a 1733 antique so it presented unique challenges. When they took the kitchen down to the studs we discovered that some major reinforcement needed to be done which they accomplished in record time to keep us on schedule. Wow, and at a fair price too! How often can you say that! A true pleasure to work with Ernest and all his crew!"

Unfinished Carpentry FAQs, answered by experts

Yes, a 2x6 should hold a porch swing and safely support the load. A smaller joist runs the risk of it not offering enough support for the swing. If you have a joist smaller than 2x6, add additional bolstering support.

Framing a house with steel generally takes less time—around five to eight weeks—than most building materials. The steel components can also be made quickly off-site and manufactured with pre-punched holes for running piping and electrical wiring, which will lessen the prep work and extra labor during construction.

Framing is the shell of the house. It includes several steps, including studs, plumbing, and electricity. A professional will ensure the wall frame is secured for the house’s structural integrity. 

Framing prices change depending on the material and whether the wall is load-bearing. Most contractors use wood to frame a home, but metal is another popular choice.

The cost to frame a 2,000-square-foot house can fall anywhere between $14,000 and $32,000. This price can increase or decrease depending on what type of framing you choose, the quality of the materials, the project's complexity, and whether you decide to hire a professional to do the job.

Baseboards don’t have to be nailed into studs. However, nailing them into studs adds to their stability. When studs aren’t available, you can secure them with drywall nails directly into the drywall and adhesive. Always aim to nail into studs, especially in high-traffic or impact-prone areas.
