"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!"

"Mike, we love our Basement. We had our family and friends over for Christmas, (thanks for getting it done on time), and there is a steady flow of neighbors wanting to check it out. All rave about the great job you and your guys did. (Everyone comments on the Barn Door). You and your crew were as respectful, friendly and professional as could be. Thanks!! Jim & Flo"

"We hired Sutter Home Solutions to build a deck for our house. We were blown away by their professionalism, customer service, quality of work and affordability. This is a small, family operated business and working directly with the person/people who are doing the work is a huge plus. We couldn t be happier and will never look elsewhere for any future home improvement needs."

"We love our new shed! We hired Tittel Construction to build a custom shed on the site of our previous shed. The concrete pad was there already but has a definite slope from a previous tree growing too close. Connor was able to not only build a great shed, but also make it level on a sloped foundation! He was very patient and helped me design, through Pinterest pics and my rough drawings, the perfect shed including 10 reclaimed windows. I’d highly recommend Tittel Construction."

"Bruce and his crew finished over 1000 sqft of basement for my family, including a wet bar, 3/4 bath, game room and family room. I cannot say enough about how great it was to work with them. From the minute Bruce walked in our house to give us an estimate, we knew he would be the one for the job. He had a great personality, understood what we wanted to do and was up front about cost, timing, any limitations, etc-- we could just tell that it would be easy to work with him. Bruce's son, David, did most of the woodwork. He did a fantastic job of duplicating the staircase from our main floor (we happened to also have leftover spindles). He also created a custom built-in bookcase as well as worked with standard cabinetry to make custom-looking bookshelves in our bar. We really trusted that if he said he could do something, he could-- and he did! What we really appreciated was the work ethic-- when they said they were going to be here, they were here. They were always here around 8/8:30 and put in a full day's work, unlike other contractors we've dealt with in the past. The sub contractors that Bruce works with (HVAC, flooring, plumbing, etc) were all punctual and responsible and were also here when they were supposed to be. Because of this, when quoted 3 month from start to finish, they were spot on! They started our basement at the end of April, and were finished mid-July. The project was not without its set-backs or errs, but whenever we brought something to Bruce's attention, it was remedied promptly and without question. All in all, for major construction, this was the most pleasant project we've ever had completed and would recommend Norse in a heartbeat."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Yes, a 2x6 should hold a porch swing and safely support the load. A smaller joist runs the risk of it not offering enough support for the swing. If you have a joist smaller than 2x6, add additional bolstering support.

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.

Most load-bearing walls are exterior, though they can also be interior.

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 basement takes three to five days, on average, when completed by a professional, though it may take longer for a larger space. Keep in mind this doesn’t include the time to complete the design, obtain permits, and install the drywall on the framing. On average, fully finishing a basement takes an average of 45 days.
