"We had a great experience with Jody, Terry and Brian at CCCM who did our 70 sq ft master bath remodel in March/April 2017. The original quote was approx $20,000 but we chose to go significantly over some of our allowances for things like a $1200 Toto toilet with washlet seat, so the final cost for the bathroom was approx $25,000. We paid additional money for wallpaper removal and painting in other rooms of the house. CCCM gave us contractor pricing for everything and made sure we got the lowest possible price on everything we selected. We did have to wait some months before the remodel could begin because they had other jobs lined up ahead of ours but we were happy to pick out tile and fixtures and wait. Terry kept in touch via email and phone while we waited. Once the job began, everything ran very smoothly, everyone was on time, cleaned up at the end of the day, and were professional and respectful of our home. The remodel took 4 weeks to complete plus the usual wait time for the frameless glass, but we were able to use the new shower with a temporary shower curtain while waiting for the glass. Part of the reason it took 4 weeks is we added on a few small projects around the house in addition to the bathroom. Jody is a perfectionist, which is a good thing in a contractor. I'm kind of a perfectionist so I was worried I was going to have to micromanage every step of the process and agonize that everything was done properly and that all of the elements would come together in the end, but Jody took care of everything and updated us about the progress made every day. We're very happy with our new bathroom and would definitely use CCCM again. Our remodel kept the existing layout of the bathroom but we changed from a tub/shower combo with a soffit to a shower with a curb and no soffit. We had 2 niches, a handheld and a fixed shower head with diverter, 2 grab bars, and a 1/2" starphire (low iron) frameless glass panel, Robern medicine cabinets with outlets, etc. put in. We chose to keep our existing vanity including the granite top and faucets so it was taken out during the remodel and put back in once the floor was tiled. Terry found a matching piece of granite to use for the shower curb. I also want to note that one of the reasons we went with CCCM vs. 2 other contractors who gave us quotes is that CCCM was the only one that used the method of shower construction we preferred which is the Schluter-Kerdi system, so I had a good feeling about them from the beginning. Cost-wise, CCCM's quote was pretty close to the other 2 quotes we received. I've attached before and after photos I took of our bathroom which was originally built as part of a 1986 addition."

"I recently hired Norpro to gut and rehab my bathroom and install new vinyl plank kitchen floor. Norman came and quickly grasped the essentials of the project. His estimate is the most reasonable one out of the 3 bids I got. They started on the day they promised, not a day of delay. The contractors working on the project are very skillful and professional. They finished the whole project in two weeks and the results look great. I'll hire them again in a heart beat. I recommended them to all my friends comtemplating home renovation."

"I had a great experience working with Don Lorenc Construction Services and his team on our bathroom repair and remodel. They handled every aspect of the project from start to finish, making the process feel seamless and stress-free. The craftsmanship really shows, especially in the new ceramic floor, which turned out beautifully and completely elevated the space. The team was quick and efficient without cutting corners, and they were consistently respectful and easy to have in our home. I genuinely enjoyed working with them and would confidently recommend them to anyone looking for quality work and a smooth renovation experience."

"Nermin & Sons do it all. I cannot tell you how good they are. They worked within my schedule and budget. The quality of work was amazing. I would recommend them to anyone. Contractors don't get any better than this. If you need quality work, and beyond (when he saw that additional work would be needed, he just did it). For your peace of mind (I''m 70 years old and have been dealing with Nermin for at least 15 years), please consider Nermin and Sons to meet your construction issues."

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

Stick frames, metal frames, or prefabricated concrete frames are included in framing a house, along with creating the framework and space for windows, doors, and entryways. Other aspects of developing a home—like drywall, insulation, windows, doors, and more—are not included in the cost to frame a house.

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

When building a house, it is customary to use 16d nails that measure 3 1/2 inches in length to construct the frame. These nails are crucial in providing the necessary support and stability for structural elements like joists and studs, which ensures a sturdy framework.

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.
