"Contractor provided excellent consultation on the type of upgrades and improvements we wanted to make during our project. Jeff was excellent at suggesting improvements to our bathroom shower, entrance and new vanity and cabinets. He offered excellent contractors that we used for new granite countertops for kitchen and bath areas. He also met us at Floor and Decor store and assisted our selection of new bathroom tile and flooring that was used to replace our ugly old carpet in our living room, dining room and hallway areas. Contractor coordinated scheduling of tile, cabinet, plumbing and countertop installations with all sub contractors selected for our project. We are extremely happy with the results of their work!"
"Patrick was a breath of fresh air after all we had seen happening to people on Fort Myers Beach post Ian by so called ?contractors?, some using fake licenses, others taking people?s money and skipping town etc. Patrick?s advice and recovery consulting saved us so much stress and money. His natural caring nature for people only compliments his vast experience in the construction industry. We always love sharing his cards and will always use him for anything else in the future."

"Mike and Ian worked extremely hard to meet a deadline created by another contractor who canceled three hours prior to my appointment time. The request for services was short fused, but Mike and Ian came out, assessed what was required, then purchased what they needed to complete the work. They did a tremendous amount of work with the most cheerful and professional attitude. Their prices are very affordable, too. I would hire them again in a second if there was a need."
"Eric (the owner) and his crew were complete professional. Omundsen construction corp went above and beyond of what we originally agreed upon. Several times during the project I made changes to what was agreed upon, and Eric always told me no problem. Eric and his crew did what they said they were going to do and more, all while never cutting corners. They showed up to work every day on time, and they got the job done leaving my house better then what it was. Eric was not only my contractor, but became my friend. I recommend this company you won’t be sorry."

While framing a basement is not as difficult as finishing a basement, it's something you should typically leave to the pros. That’s because if something is installed correctly, it will affect your entire basement. However, you can take care of some of the smaller tasks, like filling holes or putting up some insulation.
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, 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.
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.
