"Crown home improvement got the project done quickly and did a fantastic job. They built the wheelchair ramp just the way we wanted it. It was to provide access to our 5th wheel travel trailer and it needed to be built so that it could be moved when we wanted to travel with the trailer"

"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!"

"Joe came out this afternoon (on a Sunday, I might add), to remove our old worn out mailbox and replace it with one I recently bought. Joe was efficient and had the necessary tools and supplies. Since he had a 2 hour minimum, and it took him no time to install our new mailbox, he attended to 2 gaping holes in the soffit of our carport where squirrels had damaged it. I had already bought chicken wire to close up the holes, but no appropriate tool to cut it. Joe had the equipment and was able to close off the holes and wood staple the mesh in place. He also gave a very reasonable quote to remove and replace 4 wood porch columns on the front of our house. Joe is very efficient and has a lot of experience in handyman work. We will definitely hire him again!"

"Here’s another polished HomeAdvisor review you can use: Outstanding Craftsmanship and Attention to Detail Civil Lining Industries did an excellent job building, painting, and installing shutters in my home. The craftsmanship was top-notch, the paint finish was clean and professional, and the shutters were installed perfectly. They paid close attention to detail, worked efficiently, and left the area clean. The shutters look beautiful and have completely elevated the space. I highly recommend Civil Lining Industries for custom work and quality home improvements."

I received the estimate for the job not long after consult and when I decided to go ahead with the project they started after a few days. The craftsmanship is amazing and a very high quality. They are also great at communicating and answering any questions you may have. Highly recommend"

Customers say: Quick response

"The Stafford brothers do top quality work for a reasonable price. They show up when they say they will and they work with precision. You will not have to worry about the quality of work if you hire these guys. They added 300 ft2 on to my home with a kitchen. It was a pretty major project for me. My wife and I are very pleased with these guys. They helped me out a lot and made the process easy. The Staffordâ s actually do all the carpentry work on the project. Most companies you will call will subcontract out the entire project and charge you a 15% fee on top. If your looking for top quality without getting gouged call these guys."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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

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.

Duration varies by project size, but average-sized homes typically take a weeks.

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.

The easiest way to tell if a wall is load bearing is to check if it’s an exterior wall or if it runs perpendicular to the joists above and below it (or parallel to beams). Exterior walls are almost always load-bearing, and walls that run under beams or parallel to them are also usually load-bearing. There are exceptions to these rules, and walls that don’t fit into these categories can still be load-bearing. If you’re unsure, hire a structural engineer to look at your home to assess whether or not the wall is structural.
