"Our pro, Fred, worked around the inclement weather to tear down an old deck and build a beautiful, structurally sound replacement. He provided great customer service along with an extensive knowledge of deck building. He also went above and beyond in communicating the steps of the process and listened closely for feedback. My family and I look forward to using his services for future home improvements."

"Fantastic! My dad was an artist and painted 16 tiles for a mural. He passed about 8 years ago and we found the mural in the basement of his house when cleaning it out. Tandem trades constructed a frame and figured a way to hang the mural. I'll be as short as possible: If you need work done, hire this company. You would be crazy not to. Price was VERY reasonable. He was a delight to deal with and the work was way way beyond anything I could have imagined."

"Matt is fantastic! I hired him to do some carpentry work. I know nothing about such things, and he made sure to explain everything—what he recommended, different things he could do, why he was doing certain things—and he included me in every step of the process. In addition, he is very responsive and communicates really well and PROMPTLY! He takes his work seriously, and it shows. I’ll definitely be hiring him again, and I highly recommend him!"

"I searched this app for someone to finish our basement and MH Contracting was one of the recommended contractors. Man are we glad! Mike was very professional with the initial meeting where we discussed our vision for the basement. He listened to our ideas and gave us some direction as well which we really needed. He sent the quote and a CAD drawing of the layout. Their cost per square foot was very fair to other quotes but something drew me to Mike. We were set to start in the fall which was the height of Covid and then we got sick. Mike was very flexible with pushing the start schedule out a couple of weeks for us to get better and to make sure our house was clean and sanitized. When they started all protocols were taken. Mike?s entire crew was very professional and were wonderful in answering our questions and open to discussing our requests along the way. All in all, so very accommodating and the end result was amazing. They were involved in all aspects of the job from framing, plumbing, electrical, drywall, painting and finishing. Nothing was left unattended by someone from Mike?s crew. We have recommended MH Contracting to our neighbors and have found our contractor for every project moving forward. I never write reviews but knew I had to this time because our basement is now an integral part of our home. It?s absolutely beautiful!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

When building a house, it is customary to use 16d nails that measure 3 1/2 inches in length to construct the frame. These nails are crucial in providing the necessary support and stability for structural elements like joists and studs, which ensures a sturdy framework.

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.

You can choose 5/8-inch plywood or 3/4-inch plywood—anything thinner than these sizes may not withstand the impact of debris propelled by strong winds or can be easily torn off by intruders. Remember that the durability of the wood board is crucial, particularly for safeguarding your windows during severe storms. The effectiveness of using wood boards for protecting the investment you made in your home relies on using the appropriate material and ensuring proper installation.
