"Outstanding service from start to finish. Montana is great to work with—we are going to have Big Sky add a pergola this fall. Finished the job sooner than promised, and we couldn’t be happier with how our deck turned out. Start to finish, they were professional, and I couldn’t recommend them highly enough."
"We are so happy to have our basement competed. James and his crew finished our basement by drywalling, painting, trimming out windows, door frames and i stalling doors. It looks great!"
"Mike is professional and friendly. He is on time and efficient. We would highly recommend Mike if you are looking for quality and affordable pricing on your next project."
"Austin did a great job repairing our deck and installing the handrail really appreciate his effort. I would recommend him for that sort of work to anyone."
"Very courteous, and on time. Jared fixed three doors that were rubbing on the carpet after installation. His work was flawless and didnâ t take that long to finish. I would highly recommend him to my friends. Thanks Jared!!"
"Found Sentri on Angi. Jeanette and Violet were very pleasant and efficient in getting a contractor to me in the time frame needed. The contractor was excellent and the roof looks great! I would definitely work with them again if I had additional projects."
"They were very responsive to our design and changes. They delivered and installed a quality product. We've been using Snake River Case & Mill for years. They are our goto for anything cabinet related!"

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.
Homeowners can increase the usefulness of their garage space in other ways, and one option is to extend the length of the garage by making it deeper. The process is similar to traditional garage extensions, but the end product is a garage with a different layout rather than additional parking spaces.
Your local building code will list all the framing requirements for whatever type of structure you're building. Most exterior walls require spacing of 16 inches on-center, while many non-load-bearing interior walls only require 24 inches of spacing. However, there are also varying requirements depending on your construction material, so checking your municipality's rules is essential.
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.
New builds, remodels, and additions often necessitate professional framing expertise.
