"Another reliably good service transaction from Cady and Dustin (and two roofing sub-contractors). We got an estimate for this project during a previous visit. Price was competitive with another Angie's-Listed electrician. We went with a known entity. NuTone 2.5-sone bath fans, with switches independent of the light switch, were installed in two bathrooms. A separate switch had to be installed in one of the locations because of room configuration; the other room had a simple replacement of switch type. It was an all-day project, but work was good and a decent value. Dustin kept up cleaning attic insulation throughout the day. Only minor complaint I have is a small divot put into the wall plaster near one of the switches."
"Damian and his crew did an amazing job on my basement. I had at least two other contractors flake out on me and I was thinking no one would want to tackle my basement. I had multiple floods in my basement and needed a lot of sheetrock repair. I also needed a stud wall, sheetrock and electrical run for a wall I had to tear down (sump pump and drain tile installed by someone else). They handled the job no problem. Communication was excellent, they showed up on time and I never felt like they were "in the way." The workers were always polite and they left a clean work space. If I ever need more work done I would not hesitate to call them again. I feel like I have my basement back."

"I contacted HW as a possible backup contractor. Even with that understanding, Al Lien came and independently reviewed the damage and said HW would be happy to hold their position as a contingent contractor. Very impressed with their forthright attitude and professionalism. Other contractor did come through. But I am certain I will use HW in the future. Thanks Al!!"
"From the first contact to the last, dealing with GCM was fantastic! I put a job up for bid with four contractors that I found on Angie's List, and they were very prompt in contacting me - not quick enough to show they didn't have enough to do but not so long that it appeared they had too much on their plate. I set up an appointment to meet with Ben Meints to come out and look at what (I thought) needed to be fixed. He arrived promptly and was professional and personable throughout the entire appointment. We covered my initial concerns, and then proceeded to look at each area of repair. One of the big problems was potential interior water damage due to several leaks in a pair of windows and the basement area almost directly below the window. After having dealt with many contractors over the years, the level of attention to detail in his examination of the problem areas showed through. He was able to get to the true source of the problems by asking questions about what I was seeing, as well as looking at other factors and really just keeping his eyes open. Best example of this was when talking about the back deck, he started asking about the materials, any water issues around the sliding door and the basement area below it. What I thought was an issue with pest damage (the subfloor between the main floor and basement had been chewed through by mice) turned out really to be an issue with the flashing and j-channel between the deck and the house. Long story short, Ben was able to determine that the repairs that were truly needed were not as extensive as I thought they would be, and based his recommendations on what was needed to repair the damage and stop further damage to those affected areas. I was initially thinking in terms of tens of thousands of dollars to repair the damage, and was relieved and pleasantly surprised when the estimate came in at a fraction of that. When the work was to begin, Ben and the crew (Zach and Tom) showed up promptly. (They actually showed up earlier than I thought they would, which was a pleasant surprise.) The repairs went off without a hitch, and their pride in their work showed through. They were also respectful of the fact that my wife was working from home that day, and made sure they had minimal impact on her work. While all of the work couldn't be completed in one day, they got more done than I thought they would, and it was done well. They updated my wife on the progress before they began to clean up and prepare to leave, as I was still at work. I walked in just as they finished updating my wife on the progress, and they still took the time to go over the repairs with me and show me what had been completed and the remaining work to be done. When it became apparent that the weather would not allow them to complete the repairs the next day, Zach let me know he would return the next day the weather wouldn't interfere. He and Tom returned the following day, and the repairs were completed as promised. In all honesty, I contacted GCM because the general contractor I normally used was unavailable, and I needed the repairs done before the damage got worse and winter set in. After working with GCM, I think I have found a new first option for general contractors. They take very good care of their customers from start to finish, and I would recommend them to anyone. "
Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts
One of the most common house framing basics for decades has been using wood for the framing work. However, some framing contractors now suggest using steel frames. Steel is lightweight, resistant to fire, and resistant to moisture, all of which are areas where wood framing could cause problems. However, steel framing is more expensive than wood and limits your ability to insulate the home.
Framing a house with steel generally takes less time—around five to eight weeks—than most building materials. The steel components can also be made quickly off-site and manufactured with pre-punched holes for running piping and electrical wiring, which will lessen the prep work and extra labor during construction.
While it is possible to build a wooden carport yourself, especially if you are skilled in carpentry, professional construction is recommended. Professionals ensure structural integrity, proper anchoring, correct alignment, and the use of quality materials for a stable and durable result.
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.
Yes, you can hang picture frames, shelves, and other items on Trusscore panels. For lightweight items (less than 30 pounds), the company recommends using adhesive strips rather than nails or screws. However, you’ll need to secure heavier objects to a stud in the wall. In these situations, Trusscore recommends cutting away the panel material and fastening the object to the stud with metal hardware.
