"Alexander is a knowledgeable and straightforward contractor! We were very impressed with his professional manner, expertise and his non-stop work ethic. What we thought was going to be a two day job, was done in one 10 hour day!! We will absolutely call him for our next project!"
"We asked Mike to cost out the renovation of a 1950's walkout rambler we purchased for retirement. He was responsive and professional. During the walk though of the project he added suggestions for details which were important but not adding any significant cost to the project, it was a difficult decision but we decided to go with another contractor. The quotes of the two contractors were very similar."
I bought the deal for a day of contractor services. I had Jon come out and install a bunch of casing and base board that I have been waiting on but never had a chance to do, thankfully I got him to install them. The work turned out terrific and I would most definitely use them again. I reached out before buying the deal to see if they do the work I was looking for and verified they do (now I know that and much more). We scheduled the next available day for all and everything went great.
The day of Jon did everything asked and more. He left the work spaces clean, was knowledgeable and courteous throughout the entire process.

"This was the second project that I have hired TCH to do. It's so nice to be able to hire one contractor and have the same people do all of the work (plumbing, carpentry, tile work, etc.,) instead of having to hire a different company for each part of the project, or have a company sub out the work. TCH has the best personnel, always punctual and very cooperative. Regularly checking with me to be sure the job gets done the way I expected. They were very careful to protect all areas from dust and debris and made an exceptional effort to clean up at the end of each day and when the job was completed. I also think the price was reasonable. Thanks go out to both Cory's for all of their hard work. Another expert job by TCH."

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts
Bump-out additions can add some space to a closet without requiring any significant structural work. This entails pushing back the existing rear or side of the closet, simply moving the wall into either an adjacent room or unused space. For ground-floor closets, this could even be extended to the exterior of the home, but that has its own complications. Bump-outs are a good discussion to have with your contractor if you’re just looking to increase the space a little—not renovate the entire closet space.
While some highly experienced homeowners can frame a house independently, it is not advisable. You will need ample carpentry experience, a team of helpers, and professionals to sign off on your work to meet local building codes. For the safest outcome, we recommend buying or building a house with the guidance of professionals.
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.
Installing a tongue-and-groove wall requires similar techniques to those associated with installing shiplap. However, because of the precision necessary to make each board fit perfectly and the increased material prices, the cost is higher than that of shiplap installations. Expect to spend between $2 and $6 more per square foot for tongue-and-groove walls versus shiplap ones.
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.
