"Dee is a real find â a master craftsman, who works to a high standard and aims to please. He plans out his projects and has creative suggestions. He is highly professional and reliable, and his fees are reasonable. Most recently he repaired and painted a badly rotting deck â and now it is sturdy and looks like new. Dee also built from scratch a beautiful outdoor bannister decorated with a planterâ again, good looking and very sturdy. You will enjoy Dee and his work. We have used him multiple times and will again."

"These guys stayed on task, took care of my lawn when building the deck, and stayed in close communication with me during the build out. Project was completed on time and gave me some great ideas on various alternatives I could go with regarding a pergola. Wonderful experience."

"From the estimate through completion, Craig and his crew were amazing. He kept me involved and let me explain plans and worked with me to make it happen. They are beyond reasonable in pricing, efficient and clean when on site. My neighbors has work done based on their actions at my house. There's tons of companies that are fancy and play games, these guys don't. Do your self a favor and hire them."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

Framing is the shell of the house. It includes several steps, including studs, plumbing, and electricity. A professional will ensure the wall frame is secured for the house’s structural integrity. 

Framing prices change depending on the material and whether the wall is load-bearing. Most contractors use wood to frame a home, but metal is another popular choice.

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

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.

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.
