"Kyle and his team were fantastic. Not only were they affordable but built great quality deck, were transparent and made sure we were satisfied with everything. He was also very flexible to our multiple asks throughout the process. We had a unique layout as we live on a hill and Kyle went out of his way to coordinate with companies to confirm that it was safe to build (as we had some water runoff concerns). Once he did this, the deck its self exceeded our expectations and Kyle and his team were amazing to work with. I'd recommend them for any project. "

"Christian was instrumental in the building of our home. His extensive knowledge surrounding building practices, code, and materials made the process of building our home not only easy but actually enjoyable. He would arrive to work early each day and stay late when necessary to complete various aspects of the job...always with a smile and a positive attitude. Needless to say his work ethic is exceptional. His attention to detail and ability to problem solve on the fly as issues came up (they always do ) are exemplary. I have heard that many people who have gone through the process of building their home would never do it again. Our build could not have gone more smoothly!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Building involves setting foundation posts, framing with durable wood, adding roofing support, and protecting from elements with water-resistant finishes.

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.

You can choose 5/8-inch plywood or 3/4-inch plywood—anything thinner than these sizes may not withstand the impact of debris propelled by strong winds or can be easily torn off by intruders. Remember that the durability of the wood board is crucial, particularly for safeguarding your windows during severe storms. The effectiveness of using wood boards for protecting the investment you made in your home relies on using the appropriate material and ensuring proper installation.

Yes, you will need a jack for a rim joist replacement. To prevent sagging and facilitate the removal of load-bearing wood, you’ll need to relieve the pressure from this joint before beginning work. 

Due to hydraulics and other specialized equipment, a sill plate and rim joist replacement are not typically a DIY project. Hiring a professional structural engineer and experienced contractors is the best approach to replacing rotted sill plates and rim joists.

Framing a house with steel generally takes less time—around five to eight weeks—than most building materials. The steel components can also be made quickly off-site and manufactured with pre-punched holes for running piping and electrical wiring, which will lessen the prep work and extra labor during construction.
