"I have never been more pleased with a contractor in all the years I have owned a home. Corky was very professional & from the first meeting he has been totally cooperative and professional. The staff was very helpful and went out of their way to make sure we got a totally professional job done in a punctual timeframe. I am planning to use Corky for some additional work including painting the entire interior of the house. The quality of the work is excellent and he deserves a very high rating."

"Excellent! Manuel and his team saved us after our contractor delayed us over a month. We are opening a small business and needed to open as soon as possible. Manuel replied to my Angie's list search immediately. He fit us into his schedule and I had an estimate within 48 hours. Communication was unlike any contractor I've ever worked with from start to finish. They were prompt, efficient and the job was completed on time and within budget. I could not recommend this company more!"

"The contractor took time to come to my home and spend ~30 min to look at the job, but never responded with an estimate. Also never responded after multiple attempts to contact them about when an estimate would be available, well over a month after the initial visit. If you are too busy to provide services, don't waste my time coming out in the first place, please.
-UPDATE: The company contacted us and apologized. The individual that came out apparently does not work there anymore. I would be OK to give them a second chance, as they seem to have good reviews.
"Chester was absolutely professional. We had a lot going on in our home during this renovation, and Chester was cooperative with all of the other contractors who were there at the time. His responsiveness is lightning fast, and he is thorough in explaining the job and the cost. Quality is A+. We have a large project in mind for the coming year, and we hope to have Chester and his crew back to do another amazing job! "
Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts
An A-frame home can be cheaper to build than a traditional house, but that is not always a given. Prices can be fairly similar in some cases, depending on the location, design, and necessary site preparation. Costs for an A-frame typically run between $100 to $200 per square foot, which is comparable to the cost of a traditional home. The cost of an A-frame can come in under those numbers if you opt for a prefabricated kit.
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.
Most of the time, you’ll want to use screws on your subfloor rather than nails. Nails can actually weaken plywood, whereas screws can easily penetrate without damage. They also form a more secure connection because of their shape, preventing squeaky floors and tightly holding the subfloor in place. That said, some contractors do prefer nails depending on the type of floor covering because they allow for more flexibility.
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.
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.
