"We chose Glenn Ross Construction as the contractor for renovations on our home. We had the money for renovations built into our mortgage when we bought the house. This included contingency for changes that happened above and beyond the original work. Glenn did not submit the change order invoice when he was supposed to and our renovation loan got closed out. This was even after myself and the bank asked him to submit it so I assumed it was all set. He was paid in full for the original contract and signed a final lien waiver saying he was paid in full on the project and was not owed any money. He must have realized after the fact that he forgot to submit the invoice for the change and is now threatening a lien on the house if we do not pay the change order work out of pocket since the bank wont pay it. I completely understand he did the work, but this money was not supposed to come out of our pocket directly and the way he went about asking for payment was pretty rotten and extremely unprofessional. He did not even explain he made a mistake and immediately jumped to threatening a lien as soon as we asked him about it. We would absolutely have been agreeable to working something out had he approached us professionally. On top of all this, the work took way longer than it was supposed to because of issues on his end, and he did not even complete all the work as far as touchups. We also had to fix a window that Glenn himself installed incorrectly. We also paid a painter for work he could not finish because the living room was not done by the date Glenn told us it would be. Lastly, his crew threw out a few hundred dollars of Xfinity security equipment that we needed to return to Xfinity after we specifically told them we needed it. Glenn refused to acknowledge his crew did anything wrong. We ended up paying for that out of pocket and did not ask for a reimbursement. This whole experience with him was a nightmare."

"I am extremely pleased with the work done by Pierre Construction! I needed a basement remodel completed for my teen who was away on a trip, it was meant to be a surprise for their birthday, and we only had 10days to make it happen. Despite the tight deadline, David assured me he could get it done, & he absolutely delivered. He provided a fair price upfront that remained consistent throughout the project. When unexpected issues came up that could have increased costs, David was transparent about the options and worked with me to stay within budget. His communication was clear & consistent from start to finish. The finished room turned out amazing, better than I could have imagined! I gave David creative control over the colors and layout, and his vision perfectly captured what I’d hoped for from our very first meeting. The attention to detail was truly five-star, & the entire process was stress free. I’ll definitely be using Pierre Construction for future projects. Highly recommended!"

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Joists do distribute their load to beams, but they don’t sit on top of the beams. Instead, home builders nail or screw the joists directly to the beams such that the end of the joist butts up against the edge of the beam. Beams can sit on other beams for support, but you’ll never see a joist sitting on top of a beam or another joist.

Yes, joists are considered structural, as they support the flooring or roofing above them and help distribute the load to the beams, which, in turn, distribute that load to weight-bearing walls or foundational supports directly below them. Joists not only help distribute the load evenly to your beams, but they also provide direct support to the subfloor in flooring systems, which helps reduce creaking and the risk of uneven flooring.

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.

Learning how to frame a house includes picking the right lumber for the job. Most people will want to pick pine, spruce, or fir for the framing. These types of lumber are affordable and produce sturdy framing for structures. Look for kiln-dried lumber to reduce the risk of shrinkage or insect damage after installation. As part of what’s included in framing a house when you hire a professional, the contractor should order the lumber, so you don’t have to worry about finding the right lumber.

Modern brick houses are really stick-built homes with a brick facade for aesthetic purposes only, so most have framing. With genuine brick construction, most homeowners install furring strips over the interior of the brick and then install drywall over those strips to cover the brick wall, so they don’t have traditional framing.
