Customers say: Terrific value

"These guys are awesome. Ervin came out and gave an estimate on 4/18 and we agreed on a price. On 4/24 he showed up with a full crew and had my entire roof replaced in under 5 hours. My neighbors across the street are going on week 2 of their roofing project, they should have hired Ervin. I would absolutely recommend this company to anyone looking for honest work at a great price. One of the best professionals I've ever dealt with."

"I contracted MSW to install 155 ft of wood picket fence. Merv was very good about calling me back to schedule the work. The quality of the finished fence just really impressed me. I could not have done as good of a job, and I have installed many fences for myself. MSW gave me a fair price and did an excellent job. I hope to hire MSW again for some bigger projects. I would not hesitate to hire Merv (MSW) again. I am more than 100% satisfied."

"A1 Remodeling & More did two projects for us. Replaced our cedar siding with vinyl siding and did a roof replacement. Both projects went very well and they delivered exactly what they said they would."

"The customer service is excellent! Tyler contacted me regarding my request on Angi within an hour of filling out my request. He ran by my house, after asking if it was ok to do so, to look at what needed to be done. He had a very professional written estimate to me that same afternoon. He worked with my schedule to get the job done. Koby was out and power washed my house, pergola and Adirondack chairs this morning. He did an excellent job. Everything looks so nice, clean and ready for summer. Very satisfied with my experience with Under Pressure 260 LLC! I would definitely use them again!"

"Found Sentri on Angi. Jeanette and Violet were very pleasant and efficient in getting a contractor to me in the time frame needed. The contractor was excellent and the roof looks great! I would definitely work with them again if I had additional projects."

"Had problems showing up on time. Had to put on vinyl siding but struggled to get it right. Had to repaint inside wall 3 times, had to re-mud twice. Tried really hard to do a good job and kept coming back until I was satisfied. Brought 3 year old son to the job (mother was present but would have gotten more done without having to watch him). Very pleasant and eager to please but not sure of their experience level."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Modern brick houses are really stick-built homes with a brick facade for aesthetic purposes only, so most have framing. With genuine brick construction, most homeowners install furring strips over the interior of the brick and then install drywall over those strips to cover the brick wall, so they don’t have traditional framing.

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. 

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.

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.

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