"The crew from Maximus painted the three interior levels of our home and the exterior siding and trim.  I liked that there was a large crew so the work went quickly, they were done within a week.  The house was vacant so it made it a bit easier for them but to do a great job in a 4,000 s.f. house in the timeframe they took was amazing.  We discussed at the beginning that the flooring contractor would be coming in after they were finished and that there would be touch up required.  They came back and fixed all the items I had on my list and they made it clear their intent was for me to be satisfied.  I have worked with a number of painters over the years and they gave me an excellent price.  I highly recommend them."

"Super responsive guy, is honest, friendly, and affordable. I was quoted so much money for my project, and if I wouldn’t have messaged Lawrence property management, I would have paid close to $500 for the service that I only ended up paying $200 for."

"I got a Assessment of what needed to be done because of the damage to my roof it was covered by my insurance. They showed up on time and followed through with the project. I liked the fact that there was no leftover debris or nails in my yard from the roofing. I had a question later and they got back to me right away."

"They were professional. They quoted $1600 for the job. I liked that they talked and explained what they were going to do, what would be involved with the job and the clean-up. They really seemed to know what they were talking about. If I wouldn't have gone with the contractor who did the job for me, Caliber would have been my next choice."

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Your local building code will list all the framing requirements for whatever type of structure you're building. Most exterior walls require spacing of 16 inches on-center, while many non-load-bearing interior walls only require 24 inches of spacing. However, there are also varying requirements depending on your construction material, so checking your municipality's rules is essential.

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.

One of the most common house framing basics for decades has been using wood for the framing work. However, some framing contractors now suggest using steel frames. Steel is lightweight, resistant to fire, and resistant to moisture, all of which are areas where wood framing could cause problems. However, steel framing is more expensive than wood and limits your ability to insulate the home.

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.

Yes, walls on the top floor can be load-bearing if stacked on the floor’s foundation.
