"Great company! We had a bathroom remodel done to our master bathroom. Mack and his crew were phenomenal with the remodel. Great quality carpentry work along with great tile work. We converted our garden tub and shower to a walk in shower. They pay great attention to detail also. The price we were quoted was what we paid. Again, great company. We will definitely be using them in the future. Contact them directly +1 (706) 715-0439 - Juri"

"Brothers Pro Painters are without a doubt the best painter I have ever hired. They are totally professional, on time and as perfect an exterior painting company I have ever dealt with. I have looked for issues and problems without finding any. If there was an issue during the job it was corrected immediately. I’m 69 years old and never dealt with a better group of people. If ever I need any painting done they will get a call from me. And to add to their expertise they are great finished carpenters as well."

"Andy came and was very pleasant. He seemed to really want the job but was slow to want to start. He cancelled doing one of our jobs twice and them came out to perform it on a day that was pouring rain! That was not necessary but after cancelling twice , think he felt he must do it them. Never gave me a written quote but did give verbal on 2 of the items. First item was performed in the rain and seems to be okay. I have not seen a problem with it. I was also given a verbal quote on the 2nd job to begin in a few days. Received call from Andy stating that he had some health issues and would not be available for a few months. Adding additional comments about this pro added March 13,2017. The quality of the work that Andy was able to perform appears to be very good. I would hire Andy again for future jobs when he is available. I would recommend that Andy provide written quotes where possible."

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.

House framing can be expensive because the materials are pricey, and the job requires a high level of expertise. The more complex the plans, the more expensive the job, but even the most basic frame needs to be installed with high-quality materials and precision. When pricing your home’s framework, remember that a sturdy frame is necessary to create a safe structure.

Yes, you will need a jack for a rim joist replacement. To prevent sagging and facilitate the removal of load-bearing wood, you’ll need to relieve the pressure from this joint before beginning work. 

Due to hydraulics and other specialized equipment, a sill plate and rim joist replacement are not typically a DIY project. Hiring a professional structural engineer and experienced contractors is the best approach to replacing rotted sill plates and rim joists.

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. 

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.
