"He was immediately responsive to my messages and was able to complete the wall replacement and painting within 3 days of my request. Everything looks great!"
"Corey did a very good job with our kitchen repair. Our general contractor hired him, and he's very conscientious about his work / craft. He uses a wet seam installation for the drywall, sort of like doing plaster, and that keeps him from sanding everything and really messing up the house. His painting was very high quality too. He takes his time, is meticulous, and you'll be happy with the finished product. We are."

"Excellent craftsmanship, can definitely say Mr. Espinoza and his crew go above and beyond expectations down to the last detail. Will be recontacting in the future again thatâ s for sure!!"
"The pro showed up on time as expected, asked a few questions as to where i wanted the shed built and quickly got to work. What would have possibly taken me a full day to complete he accomplished in less then 5 hours. i have plenty of work for him in the future."
"The Team at Kitchen Tune Up was a pleasure to work with through our kitchen and utility room remodel. The demo was seemless and we were able to gift the old cabinets to our neighbor. The installation was very exciting. The team was so knowledgeable and worked well together. Our cabinets are beauthiful and my laundry room is a site to behold !!"
"They did what they said they were gonna do! They showed up on time, moved with my changes, and they did a great job. They went and cleaned up a mess from a previous contractor and I was really pleased. Everything worked real well."
Bump-out additions can add some space to a closet without requiring any significant structural work. This entails pushing back the existing rear or side of the closet, simply moving the wall into either an adjacent room or unused space. For ground-floor closets, this could even be extended to the exterior of the home, but that has its own complications. Bump-outs are a good discussion to have with your contractor if you’re just looking to increase the space a little—not renovate the entire closet space.
Metal stud framing parts include the studs themselves, upper and lower tracks that act as top and bottom wall plates, various angle fasteners and clips, screws for fastening pieces togeher, metal straps, c-channel supports, and thicker steel supporting structures. Roof framing metal components include pre-fabricated trusses, heavy-gauge stud pieces, and various plates and fasteners.
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.

While some highly experienced homeowners can frame a house independently, it is not advisable. You will need ample carpentry experience, a team of helpers, and professionals to sign off on your work to meet local building codes. For the safest outcome, we recommend buying or building a house with the guidance of professionals.
