"We are highly satisfied with the work we had completed. Insulation, drywall, framing repair, beam and post work, and painting. The basement looks great and we would definitely use them again in the future. Communication is great, pricing is fair, and there is a lot of care put into the work that they do."

"I told him the chores that I was wanting to be rectified. These were lights, fan in two bathrooms. Decisions for ceiling lights, under the counter lights updated, using existing cut spaces to fit the updated lighting. Checked all electrical outlets for appropriate wiring. Same with existing ceiling fans, wiring appropriately. Sanded, primed and painted the ceiling joists that were not taped but caulked incorrectly by a previous handyman. Discussed fixing many cracks in the ceiling throughout the open concept for 3 rooms. He sent me an itemized quote for all items . Also redid 5 ceiling lights with new lighting electric boxes. Will be discussing a choice of floor for a home on a slab. His work is thoughtful, compliant for coded work. He is nice, respectful, and descriptive to his work status and work status. I will be hiring him again when I need things to be done. Excellent worker ethic. Suzi Sxxxxx Homeowner"

"We gave Frank and his team (Rob worked the entire time so far as well) a million things to do and they did a fantastic job on everything. They're finishing some flooring they recommended also (so far, un.be.lievable!). I cannot recommend Frank highly enough. Great guy, honest, reliable and I will be hiring him for many years to come on pretty much EVERY need we have for fixes on the house!"

"Art gave me a quote for only what I needed. He did not try to sell me on a new deck but said he would be able to repair and replace only what was needed. His price was very reasonable. Art came to the jobsite by himself. He would not let me help at all. He was professional, finished the job when he said he would and cleaned everything up and took garbage away. Very nice guy and would hire him again if ever I need him."

"Everything went great. Rich was a pleasure to work with. He stayed within our budget, and addressed our needs. He really listened, even when I had some last minute changes. The installation was smooth, and the cabinets look great and feel really high quality. We are very happy and would hire them again."

"Excellent job! We hired the company for few projects- custom walk-in closets, cabinets and laundry. The precision and attention to detail was exceptional. It was very nice to work with and they listened to every request we made. We were very pleased with the overall experience and will hire them again. Strongly recommend."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

One of the most common house framing basics for decades has been using wood for the framing work. However, some framing contractors now suggest using steel frames. Steel is lightweight, resistant to fire, and resistant to moisture, all of which are areas where wood framing could cause problems. However, steel framing is more expensive than wood and limits your ability to insulate the home.

New builds, remodels, and additions often necessitate professional framing expertise.

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.

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.

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.
