"My husband had been hospitalized for 2 1/2 months, and we were needing a handicap ramp installed at our house. Mr. Freeman (Kurt) responded quickly to our request and provided professional insight regarding ADA compliance and the best materials for our needs. He and his carpenter, James, always arrived on time and the ramp exceeded our expectations, it ties in great with our house and yard. We also needed handrails on our front porch so my husband could maneuver the two steps, Kurt and James installed them; the handrails were more work than expected (and not part of the original plan) but they persevered. I wanted this project to be completed so my husband could be home for his birthday, 9 May, he is being discharged tomorrow, Friday, 8 May. Thanks, Kurt for making this po FreemanMade LLC. is a phenomenal company who listens to your concerns and works to give you the best products and prices. We would definitely recommend him for ALL your projects!"

"I needed sod to be laid on my property. Kasey and Ryan made sure that it was not only done swiftly but was also quality. I’ve never seen sod laid where there weren’t any creases or lines throughout it. I highly recommend these guys. Quality work and an affordable price you simply can’t beat that."

We are a small family business with a big family heart! I have 6 children and an amazing wife that I live for! I have been in the residential construction line of work for 12 years. I love what I do! Making someones home change for the better, and working with the client through-out the process is my kind of challange. I love showing the final product and seeing the look on the clients face when we finish! At the end of each job, I can say to myself ( we upgraded not just their home, but their lives).

Carpentry FAQs, answered by experts

Yes, you will need a jack for a rim joist replacement. To prevent sagging and facilitate the removal of load-bearing wood, you’ll need to relieve the pressure from this joint before beginning work. 

Due to hydraulics and other specialized equipment, a sill plate and rim joist replacement are not typically a DIY project. Hiring a professional structural engineer and experienced contractors is the best approach to replacing rotted sill plates and rim joists.

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.

When deciding if you should use 2x6 or 2x8 deck joists, consider the size of the deck, joist spacing, and materials. Larger decks, larger-spaced joists, and weaker wood all require more support, meaning they need larger joists. For example, 2x8 redwood joists spaced 16 inches apart can only safely span up to 10 feet and 7 inches. On the other hand, 2x10 southern pine joists spaced 12 inches apart can be as big as 16 feet and 2 inches. If you aren’t sure what size joist is best for your project, speak with your deck builder.

One of the most common house framing basics for decades has been using wood for the framing work. However, some framing contractors now suggest using steel frames. Steel is lightweight, resistant to fire, and resistant to moisture, all of which are areas where wood framing could cause problems. However, steel framing is more expensive than wood and limits your ability to insulate the home.

Enhances property value, ensures safety, and provides a sound basis for future construction.
