"Hired Marco to demolish old tin shed that had been there for 30+ years and haul away all trash around building. He did a professional job. And also a very nice young fellow. I would hire him again in the future . I would recommend him to anyone that needs a job well done. Thanks Marco. I am very pleased!"

"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!"

Customers say: Quick response

"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

Framing with metal studs can be significantly faster than using wooden studs, provided you have some experience working with the material. While you can use virtually instant pneumatic nailers with wood, metal requires installing screws. However, because metal is lighter, straighter, usually comes cut-to-length, and doesn't require sorting for the best pieces, you can save significant time using metal instead of wood.

A-frame homes are on the smaller side. While there’s no set square footage amount it has to be, it will usually come in around 1,000 square feet or smaller.

Bump-out additions can extend anywhere from 2 to 15 feet from an existing room. The right size will depend on how you plan to use the new space. For a cantilever bump-out, which doesn't require additional foundation support, the limit is typically 24 inches (2 feet). If a footing and foundation are part of the project, a bump-out can be much larger, even encompassing a whole room. It's also important to remember that many residential properties have limits on the total house size relative to the lot size.

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.

If you remove a load-bearing wall to create an entrance to a carport or covered patio, you can expect to pay between $3,200 and $9,500, with an average cost of $6,400. Factors such as the type of addition and if that area needs additional work will add to the price.
