"Kurt did a great job and was very efficient. He was able to repair all rot, and at a fraction of the cost of several other estimates. He repaired several window frames and replaced some of the baseboards. I was worried about having to replace siding, but only one small piece had to be replaced. Kurt is a great contractor and is very reliable and honest. We are planning to hire him to do more work on the back of our house."

"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"

"Our experience working with Gove Restoration has been exceptional. We hired them to design and construct bonus areas as part of a basement finishing project in our home and from start to finish, the process was straightforward and first-rate. From the outset, Matt asked his trusted subcontractors to assist in accurately quoting and planning the project to avoid any “surprise” costs later. The few additions and modifications we elected to make as things began to take shape were seamlessly integrated with beautiful, on-time results. We especially appreciated Matt’s integrity and thoroughness throughout the process. Experiences with past contractors had left us skeptical that things could actually progress on schedule and budget, but his attention to detail and accountability for all aspects of the project (including materials, inspections, subcontractors, timelines, etc.) made this a very pleasant experience. We could not be more delighted with the finished result for our recreation and hobby rooms as well as still having ample useable storage and workspace. I believe the best recommendation is supported by a willingness to work with a contractor again and we have two more projects “on deck.”"

"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

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.

The cost to convert a carport into a garage averages about $22,000, ranging from about $15,000 and $55,000. Additional cost factors to consider include size, time of year, and how much of the carport you can reuse. Other cost factors include the kinds and amounts of materials used, such as:

  • Add insulation: $1 per square foot

  • Add drywall: $1–$3 per square foot

  • Add window: $450–$2,000 per window

  • Add outlets: $75–$500

  • Add garage door: $250–$11,200

  • Enclose framing: $5–$13 per square foot

  • Replace roofing: $1,000–$2,000

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.

Building a barndominium means converting a barn into a house. Barndominiums are becoming popular as spacious and stylish alternatives to typical housing structures. Old barns that become houses traditionally consist of wooden construction. However, newer structures, such as pole barns, often contain metal exteriors and roofs. Converting a metal outbuilding into a house presents an excellent opportunity to create a barndominium from metal.

Yes, you can hang picture frames, shelves, and other items on Trusscore panels. For lightweight items (less than 30 pounds), the company recommends using adhesive strips rather than nails or screws. However, you’ll need to secure heavier objects to a stud in the wall. In these situations, Trusscore recommends cutting away the panel material and fastening the object to the stud with metal hardware.
