Customers say: Terrific value

"Ervin is extremely professional and very helpful. He always answers questions and actually volunteers information to help his customer. I have a smaller ranch house, and Ervin and his crew were in and out in 3 hours. They did extra nail rolling at my request to protect kids feet, with no questions. The man checking the ground talked to me and told me exactly what he was doing and that he would do everything he could to make it safe for the kids. Minus the tremendous amount of "gravel" coating everything outside (because my shingles were ancient) and one very small plant casualty, the whole yard was exactly as it was when they arrived. The roof looks good and I will recommend this company to my friends and family."

"After our chimney area developed a leak, I had a chimney specialist inspect the chimney chase cover and caps which were ok. He concluded the leak was from the roofing around the chimney and recommended Merv for this type of repair as it requires expert technique and experience to fix a leak of this nature. Merv and his crew were fantastic, arrived on time, worked hard, and made a high-quality repair. Clean-up was pristine. Merv is very easy to work with, returns calls or texts, and explains things very well. He has earned my trust! Merv (MSW Construction LLC) will definitely be my first choice for future projects and/or repairs - I highly recommend them."

"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!"

"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

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.

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.

You can choose 5/8-inch plywood or 3/4-inch plywood—anything thinner than these sizes may not withstand the impact of debris propelled by strong winds or can be easily torn off by intruders. Remember that the durability of the wood board is crucial, particularly for safeguarding your windows during severe storms. The effectiveness of using wood boards for protecting the investment you made in your home relies on using the appropriate material and ensuring proper installation.

Most of the time, you’ll want to use screws on your subfloor rather than nails. Nails can actually weaken plywood, whereas screws can easily penetrate without damage. They also form a more secure connection because of their shape, preventing squeaky floors and tightly holding the subfloor in place. That said, some contractors do prefer nails depending on the type of floor covering because they allow for more flexibility.

If the bowing basement wall is less than 2 inches, steel or carbon fiber straps are the best solution. For bowing that is more than 2 inches, wall anchors are the most effective. A contractor can help you decide the best method of repair for your home's foundation and also address the root cause of the trouble.
