"Brawny Builders was great on all accounts. They helped with the design of our project which included a new front entrance, large rear deck, a couple sections of fence and an outdoor shower. They had a competitive quote and we’re able to start quickly. Their crew was hard working, very courteous and customer focused. The project was completed within the agreed timeframe and slightly under budget. The best thing about working with Brawny Builders was their effectiveness in communicating with me about all phases of the project. We’ve worked with many contractors over our years and no one comes to Brawny Builders in their customer relations. I would definitely use them again and highly recommend them."

"Very friendly and efficient. Would definitely hire this guy again. But remember, he was an outside contractor that MPO hired to help out. So the grade really is an A for for having a hiring practice that really finds the best people to work for them. I hope all the subcontractors they hire were as good as this guy. Would definitely work with him again."

"Prior to contacting Midwest Spray Coating, the area that I live in experienced record high rainfall.   I discovered a small leak in the crawl (a house that I was under contract to purchase)  so I contacted several contractors for estimates. This was a short sale so I didn't have the same remedies that would typically be available for a conventional sale.    The first two contractors weren't available for over a month due to the high volume of work that was caused by the heavy rain.  My third call was to Midwest Spray Coatings.  They were also very busy but when I explained that I was under contract to buy the house they made time to help me. Midwest Spray Coating supervisor Jason Kalinowski demonstrated to me that he was very knowledgeable.   I was prepared for the worst but he explained that it was a relatively minor leak that could be repaired using the two part injection method.  With his estimate in hand,  I was able to get an OK from the seller's attorney, the mortgage holder and my mortgage provider  to proceed with the work.   I called Jason and once again, although he had a full work schedule, he agreed to make time to help solve the problem.  When the work was completed,   Jason prepared a written statement detailing  the scope of work.  I presented the statement  to my mortgage provider who reviewed and accepted it.  We closed on the our house about 7 days after Jason fixed the leak.  This was a short sale and there was no flexibility with the bank that held the mortgage, so, I believe, without Jason's help we would not have been successful with this house purchase. Midwest Spray Coating's office manager Melissa was also very helpful as she arranged to have the statements that were presented to the mortgage provider sent to me on very short notice.  I also found Chuck, one of the company principals,  who I spoke to on the phone, to be very helpful and professional.   I wouldn't usually write such a long report but Jason, Melissa and Chuck  and Midwest Spray Coating deserve the recognition."

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

Framing with metal studs can be significantly faster than using wooden studs, provided you have some experience working with the material. While you can use virtually instant pneumatic nailers with wood, metal requires installing screws. However, because metal is lighter, straighter, usually comes cut-to-length, and doesn't require sorting for the best pieces, you can save significant time using metal instead of wood.

Bump-out additions can extend anywhere from 2 to 15 feet from an existing room. The right size will depend on how you plan to use the new space. For a cantilever bump-out, which doesn't require additional foundation support, the limit is typically 24 inches (2 feet). If a footing and foundation are part of the project, a bump-out can be much larger, even encompassing a whole room. It's also important to remember that many residential properties have limits on the total house size relative to the lot size.

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.

Metal stud framing parts include the studs themselves, upper and lower tracks that act as top and bottom wall plates, various angle fasteners and clips, screws for fastening pieces togeher, metal straps, c-channel supports, and thicker steel supporting structures. Roof framing metal components include pre-fabricated trusses, heavy-gauge stud pieces, and various plates and fasteners.
