"Hired these guys to build a long half wall built out onto a concrete floor in order to mount some electrical equipment. Zack was very knowledgeable, and gave me a couple options for what I wanted to achieve. He also helped me build the wall in such a way that allowed easy access for the electricians coming in behind him, which helped save time and cost later down the line. Quote was very reasonable, and the install was done quickly and efficiently, with a high level of attention to detail. I was very satisfied and have recommended them to others who ended up having a similar experience. High level of professionalism and very respectful, honest folks. look forward to having them involved in my next big project."

If I'm not happy with it, you're not going to be happy with it. I like to do the best.\n\nThere is no greater feeling than coming into a room, seeing a disaster, and then totally turning it around.

"If I could give 10 stars, I would! Building a home from afar was daunting, but hiring Ricky Sprague of Generations Custom Homes (GCH) was the best decision we made. Ricky guided us patiently, respected our budget, and kept everything transparent with his “magic spreadsheet,” showing exactly where every dollar went. The craftsmanship is flawless—trim, tile, and finishes exceeded our expectations. Ricky’s integrity shone when he fixed small issues before we even noticed, like a window alignment and a quartz countertop cut that wasn’t 90 degrees. He had it redone perfectly at no cost to us. Communication was seamless, and his dedication, honesty, and care for his customers are unmatched. Our 3-bedroom cottage feels like a masterpiece, and the process gave us complete peace of mind. If you’re building in the MDI area, stop searching—hire Ricky and GCH. They don’t just build homes, they deliver excellence."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

For a professional carpenter, installing a window seat can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days, depending on some aspects of the project. Aside from building the seat itself, if they have to remove any cabinets, shelves, or baseboards, that will add time to the project.

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.

Framing most homes takes anywhere between five and eight weeks to complete. You’ll need to account for inclement weather conditions, material shipment times, the number of crew members, and the weight of your materials. If the weather is too hot, wet, or cold for the installation, this process could take closer to eight weeks.

House framing can be expensive because the materials are pricey, and the job requires a high level of expertise. The more complex the plans, the more expensive the job, but even the most basic frame needs to be installed with high-quality materials and precision. When pricing your home’s framework, remember that a sturdy frame is necessary to create a safe structure.

Carpenters are trained to take on a wide range of home projects. You can hire a carpenter to do framing, roofing, build custom furniture, and make significant upgrades to your home. General carpenters are usually able to handle most jobs. However, you may also choose to hire a carpenter who specializes in a specific type of carpentry.
