They came out in a timely way for the estimate and when we finallly decided to go with them they completed the construction in 2 days. It has made our backyard so much ore usable and the work is very professional and excellent quality."

"Great company! Hunter came in and looked at the project we needed done and gave an estimate in 15 minutes! He then sat us down with a bunch of photos of previous work he and his crew completed and we were sold! Offered large discounts compared to other contractors we got estimates from. His crew and him did our entire master bathroom in a week start to finish! It turned out better than I could have imagined! I highly recommend Indy aces construction! Thanks Hunter!"

"When we built a new back stairway to our patio, it was such a pleasure working with Tri County Pros from start to finish. During the estimate process, co-owner Felice Tuttle was responsive, warm, and listened carefully to our needs. Co-owner Cassie set off the construction period with clear communication of what to expect, and checked in often to address questions. And the building crew -- Caleb, Nova, and Andrew -- were efficient, careful, ended each day with a cleanup of the site, and were just a delight to have around. We love the end result â a beautiful upgrade to our old deck, and much safer. I highly recommend Tri County Pros for any work on your home, and look forward to working with them again."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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

While some highly experienced homeowners can frame a house independently, it is not advisable. You will need ample carpentry experience, a team of helpers, and professionals to sign off on your work to meet local building codes. For the safest outcome, we recommend buying or building a house with the guidance of professionals.

For maximum stability, install grab bars on wall studs, as this will adequately support the weight. However, if you don't have access to studs, you can get by with wall anchors. If opting for the latter, choose specialty hollow wall anchors. 

Metal stud framing parts include the studs themselves, upper and lower tracks that act as top and bottom wall plates, various angle fasteners and clips, screws for fastening pieces togeher, metal straps, c-channel supports, and thicker steel supporting structures. Roof framing metal components include pre-fabricated trusses, heavy-gauge stud pieces, and various plates and fasteners.

To calculate the number of linear feet of baseboard you’ll need, measure the length of each wall of the room you’re installing them in as close to the floor as possible, rounding up to the next full linear foot. If it’s your first DIY molding job, having a few extra feet on hand for miscuts is a good idea.
