"I gave the dimensions of the cement slab I wanted and I was quoted over the phone. I didn't have to wait for someone to come out. Often times these contractors come out to see where you live and what they think you can afford to pay. If you live in a nice area, they double their fees. It's happened to me on more than one occasion. Giving me the price over the phone for the exact size I wanted made me feel like the contractor was an honest guy. The installation was arranged right away and the crew got there early. They focused on the job until they were done. They did an excellent job! Would recommend this company highly!"

"Rafe Courville built a 22ftx24ft pavilion for us a few months ago. From the concrete floor to the 20ft tall pitched steel roof, it has been just what we wanted. The wooden post, beams, and railing are ideal for our needs. Very satisfied! He also built a 500ft wooden fence for us. We had him back recently to repair a hole in our main building's roof. Also very satisfied. Good price for the both. Rafe will be replacing all the cabinets in our kitchen in the near future."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

You should avoid drilling or cutting into load-bearing beams because removing material will weaken it and increase the risk of structural damage or even collapse. If you do need to drill into a load-bearing beam, speak with a structural engineer first to discuss where it’s safest to drill and the width and depth of the bit that’s safe to use.

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

Framing is the shell of the house. It includes several steps, including studs, plumbing, and electricity. A professional will ensure the wall frame is secured for the house’s structural integrity. 

Framing prices change depending on the material and whether the wall is load-bearing. Most contractors use wood to frame a home, but metal is another popular choice.

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.

Yes, you can hang picture frames, shelves, and other items on Trusscore panels. For lightweight items (less than 30 pounds), the company recommends using adhesive strips rather than nails or screws. However, you’ll need to secure heavier objects to a stud in the wall. In these situations, Trusscore recommends cutting away the panel material and fastening the object to the stud with metal hardware.
