"Richard did a great job cleaning my roof and gutters. He is very hard working and conscientious ensuring everything was done to my satisfaction. He also did a good job cleaning up afterwards. The price was very good considering the number of gutters, area of roof and height involved."

"Phil, Pat, and Trevor worked at our home repairing siding, trim, and framing for 7 weeks. Phil is nothing less than the Sherlock Holmes of home repair. He Is able to see things most others wouldn't and repair everything until it looks brand new. He is highly intelligent, passionate, and meticulous in his work. Phil sent us pictures and video of problem spots and explained everything to us as he went. His work ethic is impeccable and we were so happy with everything that was done. His team was amazing. Pat was an incredibly hard worker and so respectful of us and our property. Pat did an amazing job. Trevor worked along with them and we were very impressed with how hard he worked. He also did an amazing job. Clearly both Pat and Trevor make a great additions to Phil's team. There were many mistakes that the original builder made and although seemingly small they caused a huge amount of damage over the years. When Phil left we told him it was as good as new, though actually it is better than new. We were so happy to have them at our home and when all was said and done, they left our home much, much better than they found it. It was a pleasure doing business with them and we would highly recommend them to anyone that needs their services."

"We were extremely pleased with the outcome of Teagan's very high quality craftsmanship. We had an ugly old brick fireplace that, with his guidance, has become a refreshing "work of art." Teagan was the first carpenter we interviewed and we instantly felt he was the man for out job because he spoke so knowledgeably, made us aware of things to consider, and even provided the name of quality business to locate the desired stonework we wanted. Not only did he create a beautiful wood mantel and surround with nice architectural details, but his stonework was impeccable. Teagan stayed in close contact with us and completed the job ahead of schedule. We can't praise him or his work more highly and wholeheartedly endorse him for any project anyone's considering. We would absolutely hire him again if the need arose. Thank you Teagan for making our long overdue dream come true."

"We had a great experience with building our deck. They were quick to set up initial meetings, and spent a lot of time with us reviewing designs and options. Building went quickly and smoothly, and they were quick to respond to any questions and concerns. We are beyond pleased with our new deck, they did such a beautiful job."

"These men were the only ones to confidently admit they could accomplish the job of taking down my popcorn ceiling. All other companies said it wasn't possible. This crew worked so fast and completely that I couldn't stop praising their hard work. I'm hiring them back for another job. Highly recommend. They do what they say."

"Keith and his crew came out and did a wonderful job, the lawn guy damaged the vinyl siding skirting on both sides of my mud room and the two columns, and Keith and his crew repaired the damage and did a great job. I would certainly be using them again and also recommend them. Thanks Scott K."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

The best way to calculate framing costs is by basing your costs on the square footage of your home. On average, framing your home could cost anywhere between $7 and $16 per square foot. 

To ensure you don’t go over budget, base your estimates on the higher end of the price range. If you know you’re going to use high-end materials or require a custom or complex build, you might even want to tack on an additional 5% of your budget.

Joists do distribute their load to beams, but they don’t sit on top of the beams. Instead, home builders nail or screw the joists directly to the beams such that the end of the joist butts up against the edge of the beam. Beams can sit on other beams for support, but you’ll never see a joist sitting on top of a beam or another joist.

Building involves setting foundation posts, framing with durable wood, adding roofing support, and protecting from elements with water-resistant finishes.

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.

When hanging a door frame, it’s recommended that you use screws, not nails. Screws are more secure, easier to tighten, and easier to remove if you need to adjust the frame. On average, the cost to replace a door frame is about $400, but you can save on labor costs if you’re confident in your ability to DIY the project.
