Customers say: True professional

"Billy shatters the negative stereotype given to many general contractors. He's honest, on time, and works with you to ensure your satisfaction at every step of the way.
I am a single person with a full-time job, and just didn't have much time to spend on this project. Billy was respectful of my time, and has my implicit trust in decision making. He has attention to detail, and knows the trade very well. He speaks up to subcontractors when things aren't right, apologizes even when he's not at fault, and always has a cheerful, can-do attitude.
I purchased a townhouse in Southwood with an unfinished, 20ft x 20ft carriage house apartment (studio apartment) over the garage. The structure was framed out when I purchased it, with utility lines coming into the unit, but no actual service lines run along the walls inside the apartment. The people who sold me the house gave me an architect's rendering of what the build-out would look like. We used this as a starting point, and Billy was very flexible in making changes to it.
I called four general contractors to come out and bid on the apartment job. All were within the same price range. What set Billy apart was that his vendors were all close to Southwood, and he has a small crew of his own to do framing and finish work. He prepared the estimate with "buckets" of money allocated for each finish (the flooring allowance was $2,200, bath/kitchen fixtures were $1,700, etc.) Anytime I saved money in one area, we were able to apply the extra money to another.
Overall, the construction went very smoothly. All of the subcontractors were personable, knowledgeable and professional. All work was done between 8-5, the construction site was cleaned up daily, and trash was hauled off site. There was minimal
impact/disruption to my day-to-day life. We had a 60-day timeframe and went over it by a few weeks, because we had some delays we couldn't have anticipated. I am still thrilled with the overall quality and level of service.
Originally, the flooring in the apartment was laid without a level subfloor. It looked lumpy and bumpy, because the subcontractor had cut corners in an honest attempt to save me money. I was not happy with it. Billy insisted that it be corrected and negotiated a fair price for the additional subflooring materials (the subcontractor replaced the surface material for free.) Billy apologized to me and agreed to share the cost of the extra materials.
There were a few instances where I didn't understand the way things were done. When I called Billy to ask about them, he talked me through his rationale, and my questions disappeared. Quite often, I was not familiar with the applicable building code that applied to that type of work.
All in all, Billy is an A+ provider. At the conclusion of my project, I only had two last questions for Billy: 1. How busy do you want to be? and 2. Can I have a stack of your business cards to share with everyone I know?

"My house entry door had long-standing wood rot in several places. I decided I'd better get a professional to fix that. I called Scott Purvis based on his homeadvisor.com ratings. Scott came over right away, looked at the door and made some suggestions as to how he would fix the door. I liked the plan, and hired him. Scott's work was excellent, he kept me advised all along the way and I am very pleased with the door as it is now."

"Where others feared to tread, Jason and his crew stepped up to the challenge! This project was no small undertaking! Building a two level deck surrounding a 24' above ground pool encompassing nearly 2000 SF. Jason and his crew worked tirelessly to complete the project in short order and did an excellent professional job to the very last detail. My family is now enjoying our new outdoor resort and I have found a new early morning / late evening hangout. If you haven't considered Southern Property Solutions for your fence or deck building needs, you're missing a great opportunity to hire local and get the personal attention to detail that comes along with it. I wouldn't even consider another contractor for future projects."

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Framing most homes takes anywhere between five and eight weeks to complete. You’ll need to account for inclement weather conditions, material shipment times, the number of crew members, and the weight of your materials. If the weather is too hot, wet, or cold for the installation, this process could take closer to eight weeks.

The easiest way to tell if a wall is load bearing is to check if it’s an exterior wall or if it runs perpendicular to the joists above and below it (or parallel to beams). Exterior walls are almost always load-bearing, and walls that run under beams or parallel to them are also usually load-bearing. There are exceptions to these rules, and walls that don’t fit into these categories can still be load-bearing. If you’re unsure, hire a structural engineer to look at your home to assess whether or not the wall is structural.

An A-frame home can be cheaper to build than a traditional house, but that is not always a given. Prices can be fairly similar in some cases, depending on the location, design, and necessary site preparation. Costs for an A-frame typically run between $100 to $200 per square foot, which is comparable to the cost of a traditional home. The cost of an A-frame can come in under those numbers if you opt for a prefabricated kit.

There are approximately 5.33 board feet in a 2x4. You can use the board foot calculator in this article to easily find the answer. A 2x4 is 2 inches of thickness by 4 inches of width, so you need to find the length, with 8 feet being the most common. You’d use the calculator here to multiply 2 times 4 times 8, and then divide by 12, arriving at a total of 5.33 board feet. 

Yes, you can find ceiling joists using simple tools if a stud finder isn't available.

Using a hammer requires patience and a keen ear. Gently tap the ceiling in a grid pattern, listening for sound changes. A hollow sound indicates space between joists, while a solid, dull thud suggests a joist. Mark the location with a pencil and confirm by tapping from different angles.

Alternatively, you can use a nail, but this method will leave small holes. You'll feel increased resistance when the nail hits a joist. Mark the spot and repeat the process every 16 or 24 inches to map the joist locations. This method is considered less reliable than using a stud finder.
