"Kevin and his team were wonderful. They were punctual, courteous, and very neat about clean up. He framed 5 windows and they all look crisp and bright. A+ on a thorough job which he stayed late to finish in just one day."

"We contracted H&MH to paint, finish some drywall, and put flooring down in our basement on a tight budget. The unfinished ceiling was painted too, which was not an easy task. All the work turned out great and way better than expected. Andy suggested flooring that was a perfect choice. We really love how it turned out. All of the crew were polite, professional, and hard working. Everything was done on time and under budget. We’ve hired this company for several projects and we’ve never been disappointed. We highly recommend them!"

"

CCCM was a great company to deal with.  The estimates were accurate and thorough. All the sources they sent us to were easy to work with and well priced. The workman sent to our house were well trained and did high quality work.  They were considerate and always did their best to keep the chaos of construction confined.  The work was completed in the time frame they gave us.

The estimate CCCM gave us was not the lowest but they were accurate. The other estimates we got were both under estimated and costs cut in areas we specifically asked for something different.

The owners Jody and Terry were so easy to work with.  They offered advice when needed, listened to what I wanted, and paid attention to every detail.

I have a beautiful kitchen, of great quality without extravagance.

I highly recommend this company and will use them again for my next project.

"I don't know where to start. I wish all carpenters were like Daniel Garcia. I must admit I had reservations trusting estimates after my last experience with the contractor that stained my deck a couple years ago. Daniel took time to explain to me the areas that needed extra care and how he could fix what the other company did wrong. He wasn't pushy and understanding my prior experience, he confirmed my comfort throughout each step of his process. Although it took more time and work, Daniel and his team took their time to sand the whole deck to ensure they did a great job, were proud of their work, and would have a satisfied costumer. Not only are we satisfied, my deck looks even better than we were expecting. I will definitely hire Daniel again, and please trust his expertise, he knows what he's doing. 10 🌟's if the rating was possible!!!"

"Joe is a great carpenter. Prior to starting our job, he came to our house to discuss details and even to mock up some samples of what the board and batten would look like. It wasn't a super easy job as he was working with existing baseboards that complicated the craftsman look we were going for. He was on-time, honest and clean. He even came back to do some touch up on the paint of the board and batten. I highly recommend Larson Custom Finish, LLC."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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

The easiest way to tell if a wall is load bearing is to check if it’s an exterior wall or if it runs perpendicular to the joists above and below it (or parallel to beams). Exterior walls are almost always load-bearing, and walls that run under beams or parallel to them are also usually load-bearing. There are exceptions to these rules, and walls that don’t fit into these categories can still be load-bearing. If you’re unsure, hire a structural engineer to look at your home to assess whether or not the wall is structural.

Building a barndominium means converting a barn into a house. Barndominiums are becoming popular as spacious and stylish alternatives to typical housing structures. Old barns that become houses traditionally consist of wooden construction. However, newer structures, such as pole barns, often contain metal exteriors and roofs. Converting a metal outbuilding into a house presents an excellent opportunity to create a barndominium from metal.

Installing a tongue-and-groove wall requires similar techniques to those associated with installing shiplap. However, because of the precision necessary to make each board fit perfectly and the increased material prices, the cost is higher than that of shiplap installations. Expect to spend between $2 and $6 more per square foot for tongue-and-groove walls versus shiplap ones.
