"All of the work on my garage was done in a very professional manner and left me very pleased with the end result. Throughout my experience with Swartz Builders they were very honest and straightforward with me about their availability, the cost of different options, and how long they would need to do the job right. Probably the thing that I liked most about Swartz was that they were very honest with me up front when I called for a quote on my job. I worked directly with the president of the company (who did a great job checking up with me throughout the job and making sure I was happy) and he told me right up front that they were too busy to give me a quote at the time with the reality that they were swamped with work already and would not be able to do the work for me for 6 months or more. I appreciated that they told me the truth rather than trying to cram my job in with all the others and not give me the attention I would need. The president even gave me names of other contractors that he believed could complete the work for me in a timely fashion based on my project description. I was not diligent enough in pursuing these other contractors, but it was nice that he tried to help me out even though it wouldn't make him any richer for his effort. It just happened to work out that I was not in a rush to get the job done and I called them back some months later to see when they could fit me in. At this point they had some free time coming up and they told me they would get my job started first thing when the weather warmed up in the spring (I live in Michigan and an outdoor project like mine is no fun in the winter). They came out with snow still on the ground to look over the garage and give me a quote. They gave me plenty of options to obtain the desired result that I wanted with more or less cost involved and I agreed to have them come out and perform the work. I was assigned a very nice job manager which I became well acquainted with throughout the time the project was ongoing. He always called me or spoke with me in person every day that work was being carried out and he made sure to contact me immediately if any unforeseen circumstances came up that delayed any work. Another observation I made is that the job manager had no trouble with me sticking around and viewing their work which says a lot about their practices and pride in what they were doing. He also took time to explain different improvements to me, why some work had to be done a certain way per code or best practice, and he worked through different design decisions with me that needed to be made on the spot. Every day of the project the job manager and any other employees helping him out would show up in a timely fashion, would work hard to get the job done (as long as the weather allowed it), and cleaned up after themselves at the end of the day. The end result looks great and I had no problem paying for their work. The individuals I worked with were great to deal with on a professional and personal level and I had no qualms about leaving them on their own to complete my garage project. I would highly recommend this company for any type of general construction or re-modelling project you may have!

"Excellent, its hard to find a company like this who is really dedicated to the work they do. Jerrod was always prompt, honest, and very friendly. He made you feel like you've known him for a lng time. I now know who to go to whenever I need ANY kind of work done on my home or the rental properties I own. A close friend referred me and I was a little hesitant at first, but after having this wonderful experience with his team and with SHB I wish I would've never used the companies i was using before."

"We love our new basement from Apex! The guys were very polite every day and made sure the house was clean and orderly. The attention to detail was spectacular. We are still blown away every time we walk downstairs. We would hire Apex again in a flash."

"Having our basement finished was going to be a big job, so we interviewed three different basement contractors. Based on a combination of good Angie's List reviews and their strong interview and proposal, we made the decision to hire Artistic. The results are stunning and the basement looks great! We had them take a completely empty and unfinished basement, and turn the space into a work out room, bedroom, large bathroom with sink/toilet/shower, game area, full kitchen, family room, and storage area. We are extremely pleased with the outcome. We were also very impressed with the entire crew. They were friendly, respectful, and experts in their trade. We have finally found a contractor that we will use for all future projects!"

"This guy Al Hobbs was so nice and great to talk to...
I Had a very old ugly faded large side door awning that prevented me from driving all the way back on the driveway into my garage if the vehicle was a very high SUV or Box truck..I thought it was heavy but it turns out that is was aluminum.... Al's Tool box was just stolen out of the back of his truck while he was at Home Depot so he didn't have the right socket to remove the lag bolts attaching the awning to the house..he was going to make a run the the nearest Hardware store to buy the correct socket....I offered my minuscule collection of ratchet sockets to use ....hopefully not offending Al....he gracefully accepted!!! I had the right socket to complete the project...It took all of 20 minutes...more or less...Next cane the dreaded Shrub Stump...I tried everything trying to cut the root ball and stump out with no success...Al bought his Sawzall and dug up some of the earth(dirt) and cut the complete Stump and Root ball out..he then re-covered the hole with the earth (dirt) 
this took all of 20 minutes more or less...I paid for 2 hours of labor...but it took Al only 40-50 minutes tops...
We spent the next Hour or so just talking and enjoying each others company...I had Al look at a few more projects I'm thinking about having done next spring and he gave me some great prices on the projects and great advice for the projects that he could not do..(which were very few)
Al is a great contractor and his honesty and friendliness is so refreshing....You will not go wrong if you hire Al for ANY project needed!!!

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Yes, professional installations include reinforced corner posts to ensure durability.

Framing is the shell of the house. It includes several steps, including studs, plumbing, and electricity. A professional will ensure the wall frame is secured for the house’s structural integrity. 

Framing prices change depending on the material and whether the wall is load-bearing. Most contractors use wood to frame a home, but metal is another popular choice.

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.

For maximum stability, install grab bars on wall studs, as this will adequately support the weight. However, if you don't have access to studs, you can get by with wall anchors. If opting for the latter, choose specialty hollow wall anchors. 

The primary parts of a house that need framing during construction are floors, exterior walls, interior walls, and the roof. The framing in these areas provides the skeleton for adding other materials over the top. With walls, for example, contractors can hang drywall over the interior walls and siding over the outside of the exterior walls. Proper framing ensures a sturdy house that is built to last.
