"The project turned out great! Progressive Restoration was awesome to work with. They were decisive, efficient, and skilled. Marc was super responsive, and the pricing for the job was more than fair. They will be our 1st call for any future carpentry work that comes up at our house. Highly recommend!"

"The crew arrived earlier that agreed and set to work quickly. The crew were friendly, knowledgeable, respectful and efficient. They worked very hard and were very respectful of our home. The job required they work at our house over multiple days and each day the guys cleaned up the work area very thoroughly. I really appreciated that the guys did not rush any aspect of their job but really focused on the quality of their workmanship. All phone contact with the management of Cooper's Construction was answered very quickly and they were very responsive to our needs. I absolutely will use this company again and I will recommend them to everyone I know.

"January 22, 2020 Wow! Got a new roof & gutters plus my garage door repaired all for free, thanks to Jeremy, the owner of Top A1 Contracting! Never even thought I needed a new roof nor could I afford one. But Jeremy met with State Farm during the roof inspection at my house, and State Farm saw hail damage from last June, 2019, and decided to pay for everything! New roof & gutters!! Jeremy then spent hours of his time at my kitchen table to insure that my new roof would be of the best quality that money can buy. He made sure that I understood all the details, and all the options available to me. Jeremy kept in touch throughout, and my new roof got put on in half a day & in November! Jeremy gives you the most for your money with the highest quality workmanship. He goes way above, and beyond the required standard for roofing materials. Jeremy, and his company aim to be the best! Once I got my new roof, Jeremy then made sure that I had the highest quality oversized gutters, and wire mesh screens for gutter guards. And, the rotted wood around my big garage door was replaced and aluminum wrapped like new! Now I have this beautiful new roof, and gutters to look at every time I come home for the rest of my life. And it was free! All thanks to Jeremy! Jeremy is not just a contractor, he’s your friend. Jeremy is a totally honest, responsible, and accommodating contractor to have work on your home. Willing to work with you on the finances, on your own terms. Jeremy is there for you. Jeremy handled the whole process with State Farm, and never pressured me for all the money that was to come. Knowing Jeremy as a contractor just put so so at ease in being reassured that I was getting the best of everything. So grateful to Jeremy. All a dream come true!?"

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

No rules state how much of a load-bearing wall can be removed. Rather, you need to adequately support any area that is removed. Support should always be added to as much wall area is being removed. Failing to support the area properly will result in structural damage.

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.

Framing a basement takes three to five days, on average, when completed by a professional, though it may take longer for a larger space. Keep in mind this doesn’t include the time to complete the design, obtain permits, and install the drywall on the framing. On average, fully finishing a basement takes an average of 45 days.

Yes, a one-story house can have a load-bearing wall. The load-bearing walls in a single-story home are usually the exterior walls. If the house has a basement with exposed walls, the arrangement of the beams can help indicate what walls are load-bearing.

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.
