"The project turned out great! Jim did a fantastic job of keeping me informed throughout the process and managed to beat the deadline by more than a week. We did have an issue with the toilet, but Jim found a solution without adding any additional costs! Overall we are extremely happy with the project and will high Contractors Group again when we finish our entire garage."

"Ashbusters did an excellent job of cleaning and repairing my chimney. They also repaired the chimney cap and the cover. They are not cheap but I want professionals who know what they're doing. I highly recommend Ashbusters."

"not to good :( I felt I did most of the work by providing all the details floor plans and colors.  What I got back was only two floor plans and some websites to purchase living room deco and some paint samples. Not enough for the money I paid. It also took a month or so before I received these things too.

"We were left in quite the pickle when our contractor left his work half done and couldn't be contacted. Our home was terribly effected by the tornado in December, and we've been in the trenches ever since. "You can get out of the trenches now and we'll get in there for you" is a direct quote from them. They have not disappointed. Since Steve, Jerold, and Elizabeth have came into our lives, we've been able to breath much easier. From bringing us a gift basket of movies, DVD player, candy, and popcorn... to answering every silly question we have. No messages or calls go unanswered. I would HIGHLY recommend them for anything you need."

"Everyone reading this should know I am a huge skeptic. I needed a huge job done remotely (I couldn't be there). I also couldn't give the contractors much to go on as it wasn't my building. LONG STORY SHORT, I finally show up to help out, and the job is already complete. The difficult carpet angles I needed with two different colors, the layout in an area we were unfamiliar with, and the expertise of their team coming back out to fix some screwups on the part of a TOTALLY DIFFERENT GROUP was unbelievable. They came out without question and fixed someone else's messes! Didn't charge me a dime extra... Our entire team was absolutely shocked. We cant wait to come back out to that area and work with this crew again!!!"

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

There are approximately 5.33 board feet in a 2x4. You can use the board foot calculator in this article to easily find the answer. A 2x4 is 2 inches of thickness by 4 inches of width, so you need to find the length, with 8 feet being the most common. You’d use the calculator here to multiply 2 times 4 times 8, and then divide by 12, arriving at a total of 5.33 board feet. 

A cross brace for a fence gate should stretch from the top corner of the gate’s hinge side to the bottom corner of its latch side at a 45-degree angle to the bottom of the gate. This positioning distributes the bulk of the gate’s weight to the base of the post, taking pressure off the top hinge.

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.

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.

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.
