"

We recently purchased a 2nd home on Lake James with an exterior that is 100% cedar.  The exterior was in serious need of cleaning and re-staining.  It had not been maintained; and, had a significant amount of mold staining and several areas of the trim had the original finish peeling off.

We contracted with Mike and Crystal to prep and re-stain the exterior of our home.  Throughout the process, Mike demonstrated thoroughness, competency and responsibility.  Mike and Crystal took personal responsibility to ensure they delivered a quality product.  Mike kept his commitments and did not compromise his work product even when faced with the stripping process taking more time than he expected.  He completed the project per the schedule he committed.

Mike demonstrated a high attention to detail in the finishing process and ensured the project was completed to my satisfaction.  The home looks beautiful...we could not be happier.

I solicited bids from several paint contractors and evaluated several before selecting Mike.  His pricing was very competitive versus several other contractors; but, I never observed where Mike cut corners.

I would definitely recommend MIke's Painting and will plan to use Mike again when we have painting needs.

Very polite and professional appearance and easy to discuss parameters of job. The finish job looks almost new for a 20 year-old deck. Very appreciative of his work and would definitely hire again.

"We had gotten about 5 estimates from different contractors. Although James was not the cheapest, we were so impressed with his manner, his professionalism, and his desire to work with us that we went ahead and hired his company. We could not have made a better choice! These gentlemen work as if they were working on their own projects! They arrived on time, went right to work, and were very pleasant and accomodating to my wife and our 2 small dogs while I was at work. After seeing how hard they worked and how professional they were (not to mention the outstanding quality of their work), we asked them to do some other general contractor things around the house such as changing a large light in the kitchen, installing some crown moldings, and painting a hallway. They were thrilled to help and jumped right in...We will recommend Marshall Construction to anyone asking and I carry one of their business cards in my wallet so that I can pass it on to people! As a matter of fact, they are coming back to do some concrete work for us next month!"

Unfinished Carpentry FAQs, 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.

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.

Yes, professional installations include reinforced corner posts to ensure durability.

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.

When deciding whether to use nails or screws for framing, the specific needs of the project must be taken into account. Nails have long been the go-to option for framing due to their affordability, ease of installation, and ability to withstand shear forces. They are perfect for structural framing projects where fast assembly is essential. In contrast, screws offer exceptional holding power and are particularly useful in situations requiring increased strength and resistance to pull-out forces. For projects that prioritize accuracy and long-lasting quality, screws may be the preferred option, though nails remain a dependable and efficient choice.
