"We hired RC Brother's to remedy the faulty work of previous contractors who had completed a renovation on our house. Claudiu was our initial contact person and was incredibly patient and detailed as we were seeking out estimates from various contractors. What stood out to me about Claudiu was how genuine, through, and responsive he was throughout the whole process. We ultimately decided to hire them and here are thee highlights of working with RC Brothers: 1) Timeframe we were given was 7-10 days to complete the work. Actual time was 3 days. Talk about efficent! 2) They were incredibly neat and considerate of our space. Always cleaned up and left our space the same or better than they found it. 3) They communicate incredibly well as a team (Claudiu) and his brothers--I did not feel like I had to restate or communicate multiple times--only confirm with the team what were had already discussed and agreed upon. They operate seamlessly--from the carpentry to the plumber!"

"Angelo Pecoraro, the owner of A.P. Builder, was a pleasure to work with from start to finish on our major remodeling project of adding a sunroom to our home. Out of many contractors I called to get an estimate, he was the only one willing to provide options to have the project fit our budget. Once we agreed to move forward, he worked diligently with the architect and village to get the permits finalized (which is a difficult task in my town). Once the work started, he provided almost daily updates of the work that will be completed and any anticipated inspections (which we passed easily). He also reached out himself to finalize details from big items like windows to small ones like the molding. The result was a beautiful sunroom and deck which I receive compliments on regularly. Do yourself a favor and for your next major home remodel/renovation work with Angelo and A.P. Builder!"

"Dave and his crew were incredible. Always in contact and ready to answer any of your questions from start to finish. They were professional and quick and very clean. They care about the little details which shows you they value their talents and care about their work. If you’re looking for an efficient great group of contractors this is your bunch. We absolutely love the result. Our job from start to finish for ordering and installing the cabinets and countertops was a little over a week. Truly amazing time frame. If you want a great experience with a remodel, which we all know can be stressful lol, give him a call you will not be disappointed. Thank you Dave and Crew we are incredibly happy with it! 😊"

"This company hustles. I called three contractors for the job and heâ s the only one that came out to give me a proper quote. Everyone else just wanted photos of the job before coming out. YB worked quickly and at a high standard."

"I am an attorney whose practice concentrates on construction litigation. Tim has been my builder of choice for nearly a decade, and with good reason. During these many years, Tim constructed a three story addition at my home, and then later completely gutted and remodeled our kitchen. The resulting work is gorgeous. Tim is a consummate professional. His work is of the highest quality. He is honest to a fault and completely reliable. Given my unique experience in the industry, Tim is one in a million. He is the rare honest contractor who truly cares about his work and about making his customers happy."

Unfinished Carpentry FAQs, answered by experts

Yes, using certified lumber and engineered wood products for reduced environmental impact.

Learning how to frame a house includes picking the right lumber for the job. Most people will want to pick pine, spruce, or fir for the framing. These types of lumber are affordable and produce sturdy framing for structures. Look for kiln-dried lumber to reduce the risk of shrinkage or insect damage after installation. As part of what’s included in framing a house when you hire a professional, the contractor should order the lumber, so you don’t have to worry about finding the right lumber.

Bow windows need support because they are large and extend out from the exterior wall of the home. Bow windows may extend 1 foot to several feet from the outside of the home, so you’ll need to provide additional support to handle this weight. A window contractor will be able to provide the proper amount of support for your new bow window.

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. 

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.
