"Maverick Maintenance and Construction did a fantastic job on my project. Their team was highly responsive right from the start and maintained excellent communication while they worked. They are truly wonderful folks to deal with, and I already plan on using them again for a bigger project down the road."

Customers say: Quick response

"Before my wife and I chose Michael (Post Construction), four other local and reputable contractors bid for a complete basement finish.  Everything from framing, electrical, plumbing, painting, tiling, and flooring.  Each contractor had to be insured and licensed to build in the county we live in as well as handle all proper permits.   Although Michael’s bid was reasonable in comparison, what impressed us the most during the walkthrough interview was that he had the right set of knowledge and skillset that gave us a sense of comfort and trust.  Before hiring Michael, we also confirmed references from other contractors who highly recommended his work. Each stage of construction was scheduled and managed well especially when issues needed to be addressed.  For instance, when the tile supplier originally supplied the wrong colored tile for the bathroom,  Michael’s team quickly resolved the issue with the supplier to order and deliver the correct tile and rescheduled the tile work all of which was completed in less than a week. His 27 years of professional experience was demonstrated well especially in some of the smallest details.  For example, knowing to apply an extra measure of caulking behind the trim and crown molding to prevent rope lighting from penetrating through the seams.  He provided plenty of helpful suggestions to improve aesthetics such as covering the electrical panel with a custom-made door to match the trim. We are certainly very pleased with the results and the decision to go with Post Construction.  We have additional long-term remodeling ideas in the future that we will definitely consider re-hiring Post Construction to perform the work."

"The quality of work performed was amazing. The workers were all very professional. They were very willing to go over the job before work had started to ensure I was getting exactly what I wanted. They were also understanding and willing when I wanted to change a few things during the process. Overall I would hire this company again for any remodeling I need."

Unfinished Carpentry FAQs, answered by experts

In framing, studs are placed at 16-inch intervals to coincide with the typical spacing of wall materials such as drywall or plywood. This spacing is called "on-center" and is necessary for maintaining structural stability and efficient use of materials. The 16-inch spacing also helps to distribute the weight evenly across the building's structure. For those looking to cut material costs and improve energy efficiency, 24-inch stud spacing can be employed through a method called "advanced framing". This requires careful planning and adherence to local building codes to ensure structural integrity.

Bump-out additions can add some space to a closet without requiring any significant structural work. This entails pushing back the existing rear or side of the closet, simply moving the wall into either an adjacent room or unused space. For ground-floor closets, this could even be extended to the exterior of the home, but that has its own complications. Bump-outs are a good discussion to have with your contractor if you’re just looking to increase the space a little—not renovate the entire closet space.

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.

Framing most homes takes anywhere between five and eight weeks to complete. You’ll need to account for inclement weather conditions, material shipment times, the number of crew members, and the weight of your materials. If the weather is too hot, wet, or cold for the installation, this process could take closer to eight weeks.

The best way to calculate framing costs is by basing your costs on the square footage of your home. On average, framing your home could cost anywhere between $7 and $16 per square foot. 

To ensure you don’t go over budget, base your estimates on the higher end of the price range. If you know you’re going to use high-end materials or require a custom or complex build, you might even want to tack on an additional 5% of your budget.
