"I am so grateful to have found Earl Cosby Construction. He completely remodeled our fireplace, building a mantle surround and creating an elaborate feature wall that was almost 17 feet tall. He also installed 5 inch baseboard throughout the lower level of our home which instantly elevated the look of our space. He was meticulous, fast, and priced right. His attention to detail was perfect! He is a good communicator, responsive and hard working. I highly recommend Earl for any type of carpentry work if you want it to be completed perfectly!"

"It had been over ten years since the last vent cleaning so we figured we were probably were over due. When I saw all the glowing air duct reviews, I decided to contact Whole Home Cleaners and got an appointment for the next day. I got a call the evening before Doug was to arrive that he was ill so I appreciate that he wouldn't come when he was sick and that the company let me know ahead of time. We rescheduled for the following day providing he felt better. Doug arrived 40 minutes after the scheduled time and got right to work. We did a walk through of the house pointing out all the vents and familiarizing him where all the vents were. Since he does this for a living he knew better than I where they would be. Doug was great with our dogs (Great Danes) and I was appreciative that I didn't need to board them in order for him to do the work. He caution me that he would need to leave the door a tad ajar so if there were any concerns about the dogs getting out that I was aware of this which was very conscientious of him. Doug also included a dryer vent clean out and said ours was very dirty and he would recommend dryer vents be cleaned out every two years . Realizing build up of lint in the dryer can make a dryer work much harder if its not cleaned out is a good recommendation not to mention the fire hazard so was glad that was done. He did the entire house in about 2 hrs and 45 minutes. He was very efficient and didn't leave any dirt and even took his shoes off to work. He showed me how he loosens the dirt from the main furnace returns and showed me all the dirt that was collected from the house which made me feel like it was worthwhile that we had done it and perhaps we'll see less dust for a while. Doug was a delight to work with and was kind and efficient. I would use him again. He does a great job and is a hard worker."

"It is with absolute pleasure that my wife and I have the opportunity to write this review on behalf of Young Remodeling. As business owners in the service industry (medical), we understand the importance of providing quality service, communicating effectively all while completing an endeavor in the most cost effective, time conserving manner. On all accounts, every member of the team at Young Remodeling succeeded with a resounding A+++++ rating. As with most home owners going through the process of a renovation, we performed our due diligence and met with five different companies/contractors over a period of two months. We entertained and enjoyed hearing the varying sales concepts and design ideas all while trying to adhere to a budget with which we were comfortable. Paul Young, owner of Young Remodeling, was our fourth contact and, in all reality, was our last. His approach to the job at hand was both methodical and efficient, yet hands on and personal. After all, it is his name on the business cards and it clearly showed in the pride he takes in his work....THANK YOU PAUL!!!! After making our decision, we were assigned a designer (chosen by Paul based on our needs) to begin the process of fabricating the kitchen of our dreams. Jenny was an absolute delight to work with and simply understood my wife and I from the very first meeting. We met with her many times over the course of 4-6 weeks as we reviewed the various designs, narrowed down choices, and then finally came up with the final rendition. She not only created the designs but also helped us choose from the myriad of material available (granite, back splash, tile, color schemes, etc). I would feel remiss if we did not mention that her computer renditions (numerous and accurate) were enjoyable to view and likely a great deal of work....THANK YOU JENNY!!!! Once the design was complete, the structural engineer approved, and the city gave blessing on the design, we were assigned to Rex, who was the next important stage of the project. Rex was our project manager who became the "go to" contact throughout the remainder of the renovation journey but was in no way isolated from Paul or Jenny. Rex, in short, was simply amazing. He kept everyone (from permits, demolition, plumbing, electrical, drywall, ceiling repair, flooring, painting, cabinet install, granite install, appliance install) on a schedule and over the course of our 10-12 week renovation, we never varied from the "master schedule" but by a day or so. We cannot say anything regarding Rex and his work ethic except for "Stellar Job"....THANK YOU REX!!!! Behind the scenes of all the work done were the hardworking crews of the individual disciplines. Each and every one of the crews involved in our renovation not only acted and performed in the most professional manner but are deserving of the same THANKS as the rest. We would like to acknowledge the Demolition crew, the Framing /Building crew (Jamie, Jeff and Cody), the Drywall/Ceiling crew (Matt and his father), the Plumbing Crew, the Flooring crew (Carlos and his team), the Cabinet Install crew (Charlie and his team), the Granite install team (Evolve), and the Painting crew (Brent and his team)....THANK YOU ALL!!!! As we have decided to stay in this home for the long term, we look very forward to our next projects in the years to come...basement remodel, master bathroom remodel and outdoor stone patio/sun room addition. It goes without saying that we look forward to using Young Remodeling for all our future remodeling needs.
Converting a carport into a garage can vary in difficulty depending on its configuration, the condition of the foundation or slab, and its location relative to the house. The process has a lot in common with a home addition, but you can often skip non-essential finishes like fine flooring, trim work, or even drywall and HVAC. The conversion requires experience with drywall, insulation, and other building materials to ensure it’s done safely and correctly. While it might be possible for a DIYer with the proper tools and skills to do the work, it is a complicated and potentially dangerous job. If you’re new to basic construction, it's best to leave this project to the professionals.
When deciding if you should use 2x6 or 2x8 deck joists, consider the size of the deck, joist spacing, and materials. Larger decks, larger-spaced joists, and weaker wood all require more support, meaning they need larger joists. For example, 2x8 redwood joists spaced 16 inches apart can only safely span up to 10 feet and 7 inches. On the other hand, 2x10 southern pine joists spaced 12 inches apart can be as big as 16 feet and 2 inches. If you aren’t sure what size joist is best for your project, speak with your deck builder.
Yes, a one-story house can have a load-bearing wall. The load-bearing walls in a single-story home are usually the exterior walls. If the house has a basement with exposed walls, the arrangement of the beams can help indicate what walls are load-bearing.
When building a house, it is customary to use 16d nails that measure 3 1/2 inches in length to construct the frame. These nails are crucial in providing the necessary support and stability for structural elements like joists and studs, which ensures a sturdy framework.
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.
