Angi's Super Service award in 2016 and 2017. Stucco Moisture Intrusion Specialist. In addition, we are a full service exterior design and renovation contractor servicing the entire Twin Cities & surrounding areas. We specialize in James Hardie Siding, all major window and door brands. Our jobs range from retrofit repair to total exterior replacement & moisture remediation projects. Designer services and computer renderings available.

"Awful. This company has good reviews but was absolutely awful for me. Called because of a water leak which is supposed to be one of their specialties. They had me hire a separate inspector/specialist to evaluate the home exterior. They then tore a hole in our kitchen ceiling looking for the water leak. When they had difficulty identifying the origin of the leak they simply abandoned the project with a hole in the middle of our kitchen ceiling. Finding water leaks is difficult and I don't blame for having difficulty locating the leak but abandoning the project with a gaping hole in our kitchen is really extraordinarily bad service."

Rosen Carpentry specializes in finish carpentry and light remodeling. We install and trim interior doors. Trim windows, install baseboards. We can build and install decorative beams. We install shiplap and other accent walls. We are also available to do some framing and light basement finishing.

"I hired Rosen Carpentry to frame out my basement remodel, adding a bathroom and bedroom to an unfinished basement. From beginning to end, Jordan was attentive and diligent to make sure the project was done to our specifications. He took the extra time to ensure he understood the plan, and it turned out exactly as I had planned. The work was done efficiently, and he was careful to keep a clean workspace. I plan to hire him again!"

At Northway Commercial, we put our customers needs first. Northway Commercial specializes in roofing and siding. We install asphalt shingles, flat roofing systems, sheetmetal and all siding systems. We use the highest quality materials, backed by the longest, most extensive product warranties available. Call us today for a free consultation at (612) 412-5468 or (612) 499-1714.

"Bjorn and Northway were great! He responded quickly to my request, showed up on time, and talked me through what we saw on the roof that needed repair. He took the time to explain to me all of the options. Then, presented a quote quickly with potential upgrades that I could do, but didn’t have to if my budget didn’t allow. He did not pressure my decision in any way. I asked a series of follow up questions via a couple emails, and bjorn took the time to respond to each one. After meeting with 4 more companies, I decided to move forward with his quote based on price, quality of work/product, and my trust in him based on our conversations. A few weeks later, a crew from Northway arrived to remove my existing shingles, remove/install a new skylight, and lay new shingles to my 2k+ sq ft roof. Before they started to remove the shingles they made sure the area around my house was properly tarped off and there was no property around the house that would be damaged during the work. During the replacement I was contacted with questions/issues that arose so I was able to provide feedback. Overall, I am very pleased with my experience, and the level of work performed by Northway. I recommend them to anyone who asks for roofing help, and look forward to hiring them again (if needed) in the future."

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.

Yes, joists are considered structural, as they support the flooring or roofing above them and help distribute the load to the beams, which, in turn, distribute that load to weight-bearing walls or foundational supports directly below them. Joists not only help distribute the load evenly to your beams, but they also provide direct support to the subfloor in flooring systems, which helps reduce creaking and the risk of uneven flooring.

Accurate measurements, sturdy materials, and seamless integration with other structures.

If the bowing basement wall is less than 2 inches, steel or carbon fiber straps are the best solution. For bowing that is more than 2 inches, wall anchors are the most effective. A contractor can help you decide the best method of repair for your home's foundation and also address the root cause of the trouble.

New builds, remodels, and additions often necessitate professional framing expertise.
