"I cannot begin to say enough about Don's craftsmanship. When my wife and I encountered an emergency remodel that was necessary to complete on a short turnaround in our son's nursery, Don answered the call. His quote to install a bay window seat with built in cubby holes for our son's books matched his exact quote, work was completed on time, the work met our expectations to the letter, and Don was excellent on communicating the entire time. I highly his services recommend."

"Showed up on time and got work after a quick review of all trouble spots.  As they progressed, they found some other problems which they advised that I have  repaired.  They finished after about eight hours of work and did a very nice job. I would hire them again without question.

"Work was drawn out due to our vacation and several unexpected out-of-state funerals. Communication with CGC office staff was 2.5 (on 5 point scale). A payment schedule - when and how much - should have been explained in advance. The work: removed steel bathtub and tile surround, plumbing relocated, new cement board, fancy tile, new plumbing fixtures and glass shower doors installed. Wallpapered dining room walls had light plaster coat first applied to smooth out existing orange peel texture. Excellent attention to pattern matching. Paper waste was minimized."

"I should start by saying that I was on a very tight budget which really did not match with my dreams.  I had many disappointments with contractors in the past - lost my historic home in Fort Lauderdale and $90,000.00 because of unscrupulous contractors.  Long story.  Anyway, I had understandable fears as I embarked on the venture of updating my tiny home in Ocala.
Dan Spaulding was my first contact.  We spent quite some time on the planning part of the work - MANY emails back and forth exchanging ideas.   He was always patient with me.  Took me shopping for tile and flooring and granite.  Eased my panic attacks, made excellent suggestions, and made many trips to the house during the time the work was done.
Tom Steppen and his assistant were the hands-on guys.  You've heard the expression "jack of all trades, master of none" ?  
Well Tom is a MASTER of all trades, in my opinion.  The quality of his work was excellent.  He and his assistant, Jay, were perfectionists through all phases of the work.  They had subcontractors come in for some plumbing and electrical work.
The only downside was really caused by me.  I made several changes as we went along and drove Tom crazy, which created friction between us.  It's really hard to anticipate certain things until the work is in progress and then you get ideas.  Too many visits to Houzz kept my mind whirling.  So try to have everything nailed down before work starts - and then stay off of HGTV and Houzz until the work is completed.
I am exceedingly pleased with the outcome and highly recommend  Steppen and Spaulding.

"We had a great experience working with Gift Remodeling LLC! They renovated our entire kitchen (including floors) and also laid tile on our back porch and took care of some other projects around the house. They were very accommodating to any changes we requested, and they completed the project within the agreed time frame. Duniel (the owner) was quick to respond and very friendly. We'll absolutely be using them again for future projects. We recommend 100%"

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Duration varies by project size, but average-sized homes typically take a weeks.

Your local building code will list all the framing requirements for whatever type of structure you're building. Most exterior walls require spacing of 16 inches on-center, while many non-load-bearing interior walls only require 24 inches of spacing. However, there are also varying requirements depending on your construction material, so checking your municipality's rules is essential.

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.

Bump-out additions can extend anywhere from 2 to 15 feet from an existing room. The right size will depend on how you plan to use the new space. For a cantilever bump-out, which doesn't require additional foundation support, the limit is typically 24 inches (2 feet). If a footing and foundation are part of the project, a bump-out can be much larger, even encompassing a whole room. It's also important to remember that many residential properties have limits on the total house size relative to the lot size.

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.
