"Justin installed some interior doors and wood trim in our room. He did a great job on our project! Justin has great attention to detail and was very thorough in completing all tasks. I would definitely recommend Justin for any carpentry project."
"Excellent Work! Very experienced and good solutions for siding and window frame repair before another contractor painted entire house. Met the timeline needed. Highly recommend."
"If I had one word to describe Elegance Custom Cabinetry it would be "Outstanding". From the beginning, you could tell the passion, Dmitry (the owner) had in custom cabinetry. During the process of designing our new kitchen we went through 3 other cabinet makers and all either seemed to hate what they did or were non-responsive to our questions. Dmitry and his team were professional, friendly, prompt, dedicated, and perfectionists. In any project, you will have issues or unexpected challenges...Elegance ALWAYS had solutions and ALWAYS addressed them promptly. I am confident that without Elegance and Dmitry, our kitchen would have taken twice as long, for twice the cost, and with half of the result. I could not more highly recommend Elegance Cabinetry to anyone."
"Cole Home Solutions LLC did an amazing job for our baseboard replacement. He was prompt polite, and did an excellent job. The price was reasonable, and the service was fantastic. I would highly recommend hiring them for your next job."
"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."
"We needed our upper cabinet (oak custom cabinets) over our refrigerator modified to accommodate today?s taller refrigerators. Michael had new cabinet doors built and stained to match current cabinets and raised the bottom of the cabinet several inches. I don?t think anyone who didn?t know this work was done could even tell. Amazing work, stellar communication and reasonable price for the quality. Highly recommend and will call him for other work myself!"
"After about 10 years of using our couch it was still in great condition but I needed to have the 3 couch cushion foam & down inserts replaced as they had gone flat. I was very pleased with the quality, value, and professionalism that Niola funiture offered! I went to A1 Foam & Ackermans (quoted 2.5x what I paid at Niola for less comfortable cushions) and not only were both more expensive but I was not impressed with the quality of foam, the much longer turn around times, or professionalism. I am very pleased with my new cushions. I would highly recommend Niola Furniture and plan to use them for all my future needs! Great company and love supporting small business! Canâ t recommend enough!"
Learning how to frame a house includes picking the right lumber for the job. Most people will want to pick pine, spruce, or fir for the framing. These types of lumber are affordable and produce sturdy framing for structures. Look for kiln-dried lumber to reduce the risk of shrinkage or insect damage after installation. As part of what’s included in framing a house when you hire a professional, the contractor should order the lumber, so you don’t have to worry about finding the right lumber.
Most load-bearing walls are exterior, though they can also be interior.
Joists do distribute their load to beams, but they don’t sit on top of the beams. Instead, home builders nail or screw the joists directly to the beams such that the end of the joist butts up against the edge of the beam. Beams can sit on other beams for support, but you’ll never see a joist sitting on top of a beam or another joist.
You should avoid drilling or cutting into load-bearing beams because removing material will weaken it and increase the risk of structural damage or even collapse. If you do need to drill into a load-bearing beam, speak with a structural engineer first to discuss where it’s safest to drill and the width and depth of the bit that’s safe to use.
Building a barndominium means converting a barn into a house. Barndominiums are becoming popular as spacious and stylish alternatives to typical housing structures. Old barns that become houses traditionally consist of wooden construction. However, newer structures, such as pole barns, often contain metal exteriors and roofs. Converting a metal outbuilding into a house presents an excellent opportunity to create a barndominium from metal.
