I am an Angie's List Super Service Award Winner and a Certified General Contractor (FLlic#CGC1507887) specializing in home additions and remodeling serving Destin and surrounding areas since 1980. My estimates are free and my contracts are written. I am punctual and my work is neat, clean, and most excellent.

"Working with David was an excellent experience. We did an unusual garage addition, and if you hadn't seen the before - the addition flowed so smoothly you would never know it was done. From start to finish, he kept us updated with the daily work to be performed. The various contracted crews we're all exceptional, picked up after each days work, and showed up on time. The job came in within 10% of initial budget, and with todays economy I'm grateful! I wouldn't hesitate to hire him for our next renovation! Chris Schaefer"

Services offered: Residential Renovations Interior and exterior. Who We Are: We Are a small family business with a big famly heart! I have 4 children and an amazing wife that I live for! I started this business when my wife was pregnant with our first. She is now coming up on 5 years old. We recently relocated to Okaloosa county Florida. We are here to stay. 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.) History: I have been In this line of work for 12 years now. I have stuck with it because I like it. the first job I had in the trade, I knew that I better pay attention to all of my mentors. I knew from day one that I wanted to do this for myself one day! I started out doing side jobs while still employed. Eventually I saved enough to invest into the things I needed for start up. I pulled the trigger and never looked back!

"Completely renovated my bathroom as well as my kitchen. Did an amazing job. Marcus was very communicative and professional. I'm in love with my renovations and will definitely hire again."

"We hired Heather Cox to install several projects in our home. She installed all of the molding work to include crown, shoe and applied moldings in our hallways, living and dining room. She also made custom doors for the primary bathroom and installed custom columns in the entry, as well as Wainscoting in the guest bathroom and installed custom shelving unit in the den. All the projects she did was of the highest quality and a completed in timely manner at a very reasonable cost. We definitely recommend her for all types of interior projects. "

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Yes, professional installations include reinforced corner posts to ensure durability.

In framing, studs are placed at 16-inch intervals to coincide with the typical spacing of wall materials such as drywall or plywood. This spacing is called "on-center" and is necessary for maintaining structural stability and efficient use of materials. The 16-inch spacing also helps to distribute the weight evenly across the building's structure. For those looking to cut material costs and improve energy efficiency, 24-inch stud spacing can be employed through a method called "advanced framing". This requires careful planning and adherence to local building codes to ensure structural integrity.

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.

Professionals ensure precise alignment and durability, critical for structural integrity.

Yes, a one-story house can have a load-bearing wall. The load-bearing walls in a single-story home are usually the exterior walls. If the house has a basement with exposed walls, the arrangement of the beams can help indicate what walls are load-bearing.
