"From start to finish the level of communication was perfect. Russ was understanding of what I wanted for my porch and instead of trying to sell me on something different, he helped me explore what options I had to make it look its best. We replaced my rotted wood columns and railings with fir columns and aluminum railings. The job was done quickly and the end result is PERFECT."

"I hired Nicky and N.A. because they were two women who built a prosperous business in a predominately manâ  s world. Iâ  m so pleased that I did. They built my deck with precision and most importantly Love. They worked steadily and thoroughly and consistency. My deck is absolutely beautiful and sturdy. They built the deck with so many personal touches. I would highly recommend them to anyone."

"I had two wicker aluminum frame rocking chairs that I loved and the seats had rotted through. Cliff found a way to repair them so I could continue using the chairs and not buy new ones. He's very personable, nice, knowledgeable and professional and I appreciate he was willing to find a way to make it work even though my project was small! We definitely plan to call M&M Construction when we are ready for our large home projects!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

While framing a basement is not as difficult as finishing a basement, it's something you should typically leave to the pros. That’s because if something is installed correctly, it will affect your entire basement. However, you can take care of some of the smaller tasks, like filling holes or putting up some insulation.

Learning how to frame a house includes picking the right lumber for the job. Most people will want to pick pine, spruce, or fir for the framing. These types of lumber are affordable and produce sturdy framing for structures. Look for kiln-dried lumber to reduce the risk of shrinkage or insect damage after installation. As part of what’s included in framing a house when you hire a professional, the contractor should order the lumber, so you don’t have to worry about finding the right lumber.

While some highly experienced homeowners can frame a house independently, it is not advisable. You will need ample carpentry experience, a team of helpers, and professionals to sign off on your work to meet local building codes. For the safest outcome, we recommend buying or building a house with the guidance of professionals.

Framing is the shell of the house. It includes several steps, including studs, plumbing, and electricity. A professional will ensure the wall frame is secured for the house’s structural integrity. 

Framing prices change depending on the material and whether the wall is load-bearing. Most contractors use wood to frame a home, but metal is another popular choice.

Bump-out additions can extend anywhere from 2 to 15 feet from an existing room. The right size will depend on how you plan to use the new space. For a cantilever bump-out, which doesn't require additional foundation support, the limit is typically 24 inches (2 feet). If a footing and foundation are part of the project, a bump-out can be much larger, even encompassing a whole room. It's also important to remember that many residential properties have limits on the total house size relative to the lot size.
