"Marcia was our designer, and she was wonderful to work with! Professional from the start, flexible, and always receptive and responsive. The installers were great as well, always arriving within the designated window. They were also professional and friendly! We can't wait to do our pantry and nursery closet! We will definitely be using Closet OS again! Thank you for transforming our rooms and giving us great storage space!"

"Master builders, save my deck project after another contractor disappeared. Larry came out the day. I called them, drove out to Loweâ s with me to buy the material I needed, and then went and visited the inspector to let him know that he was taking over the project. The work they did was fantastic And I would definitely recommend them to other people"

Customers say: Quick response

"James B was one of the best service providers that I have ever had. He was thorough and self motivated. I explained what I wanted done, he listened and asked question...then he did the job exceptionally well. I would have him back out again and I highly recommend James B to anyone looking for a service provider. Thanks James B for your hard work and the way you completed the job. I was very happy."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

While framing a basement is not as difficult as finishing a basement, it's something you should typically leave to the pros. That’s because if something is installed correctly, it will affect your entire basement. However, you can take care of some of the smaller tasks, like filling holes or putting up some insulation.

You should avoid drilling or cutting into load-bearing beams because removing material will weaken it and increase the risk of structural damage or even collapse. If you do need to drill into a load-bearing beam, speak with a structural engineer first to discuss where it’s safest to drill and the width and depth of the bit that’s safe to use.

Joists do distribute their load to beams, but they don’t sit on top of the beams. Instead, home builders nail or screw the joists directly to the beams such that the end of the joist butts up against the edge of the beam. Beams can sit on other beams for support, but you’ll never see a joist sitting on top of a beam or another joist.

Framing a house with steel generally takes less time—around five to eight weeks—than most building materials. The steel components can also be made quickly off-site and manufactured with pre-punched holes for running piping and electrical wiring, which will lessen the prep work and extra labor during construction.

Converting a carport into a garage can vary in difficulty depending on its configuration, the condition of the foundation or slab, and its location relative to the house. The process has a lot in common with a home addition, but you can often skip non-essential finishes like fine flooring, trim work, or even drywall and HVAC. The conversion requires experience with drywall, insulation, and other building materials to ensure it’s done safely and correctly. While it might be possible for a DIYer with the proper tools and skills to do the work, it is a complicated and potentially dangerous job. If you’re new to basic construction, it's best to leave this project to the professionals.
