"Ray replaced some bad siding in various places, installed a new door/trim, added a gutter and ended up replacing windows for us. Sometimes weather and available workers were challenging, but he always kept me informed and was very pleasant to work with. Satisfied with the work and so far no issues-"

"RMG did our kitchen floor. They showed up , talked about what we wanted done, measured our floor, picked up the tile that we ordered, we scheduled for a date , they showed up , did an excellent job on our floor, and cleaned up after they were done . My husband used to do tile and was very pleased with the results and the price. The guys were very nice and polite. We will keep on recommending them from our experience."

"I had a great experience with Mike and his team. My husband and I had never done a big remodel before and Mike held our hands every step of the way. The kitchen was completely gutted and I could not be happier with the work that he did. Everything came out even better than anticipated and on budget too! It took about a week longer than expected, but only because the team was determined to get every last detail perfect."

"Sorry for the delay in updating this.  Once I posted this in November (I believe), I was contacted by Paul from Marathon.  He apologized for not getting back to me, thinking someone else had already done that. I was then sent a proposal/estimate for replacing my skylight about a week later.  After receiving it, I emailed some follow-up questions and those were answered via a phone call.  Hopefully this spring we will get this done.  I will suggest that warranty information be included in all proposals, though, as that was one of the main reasons I needed to follow up with the email.

I will update this later this spring."

I’m a first home buyer and didn’t expect to make so many repairs so soon and my budget was not alot and I got so many outrageous estimates but these guys were fair on prices and did a great job I’m pleased to say the least! Thank you Rustic Refined Custom Contracting!"

"It went really well.  Mike and his team were so incredibly efficient and easy to work with.  And most importantly they listened to our requests and then actually took the time to do the things we asked them to do.  We had an easy yet very specific request for the hallway and they did exactly what we asked.  (We gave the same request to another contractor and they ended up doing business as usual instead of what we asked.)  They cleaned up the area and didn't leave a single mark on my walls.  This all seems like such common sense but we've had first hand experience with store contractors where these things didn't happen and my brand new walls were dented and marked.   We've had multiple bad experiences in the past using the "free" installation provided by the store where we purchased the carpet.  I would highly recommend taking control of your contractor and hiring the installation yourself.  It was much easier then I thought it would be. 
MWC also showed up on time and finished as promised.  And it actually ended up saving me money because I didn't have to take multiple days off of work.

Unfinished Carpentry FAQs, answered by experts

When deciding if you should use 2x6 or 2x8 deck joists, consider the size of the deck, joist spacing, and materials. Larger decks, larger-spaced joists, and weaker wood all require more support, meaning they need larger joists. For example, 2x8 redwood joists spaced 16 inches apart can only safely span up to 10 feet and 7 inches. On the other hand, 2x10 southern pine joists spaced 12 inches apart can be as big as 16 feet and 2 inches. If you aren’t sure what size joist is best for your project, speak with your deck builder.

In framing, studs are placed at 16-inch intervals to coincide with the typical spacing of wall materials such as drywall or plywood. This spacing is called "on-center" and is necessary for maintaining structural stability and efficient use of materials. The 16-inch spacing also helps to distribute the weight evenly across the building's structure. For those looking to cut material costs and improve energy efficiency, 24-inch stud spacing can be employed through a method called "advanced framing". This requires careful planning and adherence to local building codes to ensure structural integrity.

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.

The cost to frame a 2,000-square-foot house can fall anywhere between $14,000 and $32,000. This price can increase or decrease depending on what type of framing you choose, the quality of the materials, the project's complexity, and whether you decide to hire a professional to do the job.

There are a few easy ways to locate a wall stud without a stud finder. First, try knocking on the wall with your knuckles. Most parts of the wall will sound hollow, but when you tap over a stud, it will sound more solid. Alternatively, since studs are spaced 16 or 24 inches apart, you can measure those distances from a corner of the room, which will always have a stud.
