"MW Construction built a new home for us and we couldn’t have been happier with the results. They were very professional and did a superb job. MW was quick to return our phone calls and answer any questions that we had during the building process. I would highly recommend them."
"Our project was a 14' x 14' screened porch. We selected Scott SCS from other contractors based on the interview, his knowledge, understanding of the project, and communication skills. He improved our original design and made numerous suggestions during the construction process. He understood our vision of the porch and he delivered. From start to finish Scott and his work crew were always on time, polite, professional, and cleaned up the area before departing every day. I was on site watching and taking photos. So I can attest to the craftmanship and attention to detail of the crew. Every day I was informed of their plans and then I provided my thoughts, ideas, and concerns. We are extremely pleased with the finish porch and I would highly recommend SCS. They are a 10 in every category."
"Z, Came to my home in Wildwood Crest. He gave me a quote to remodel my laundry room. He was professional, efficient but most of all he gave us advice. He went above and beyond our expectations. The laundry room looks great. I had loose steps coming from my back deck to the yard. I ask Z if that was something he can do? He said, let me grab lunch and a couple tools to do the step and I’ll be back. He gave me a great price and the steps are perfect. Real good guy and very honest. Ray"
"Roberto and his team were outstanding during my time of renovating my apartment. They were so efficient and so attune to detail that I was beyond satisfied, I was elated with the final results of the job they had done. I had no problems whatsoever throughout the whole process. Roberto is an experienced contractor who has an eye for the current style and went above and beyond for me with his services. He went out of his way to help me with more than I paid for and you don’t see this a lot of this in current day on contractors. What I love most about Roberto and his team is that he was honest and fair with me. I can trust him implicitly that he would do an emasculate job and he had the utmost respect for my expectations and concerns. I would hire him again for my next project and I would recommend him to anyone looking for someone to remodel a home/apartment. He is the best in the south jersey area hands down!!"
"Joe and his subs did a great job for us. Price was fair, and he was either here, or could almost always be reached, when the work was going on. All the subs were excellent at their specialty and also nice guys that you wouldn't mind letting in your home. Both Joe and they were always sensitive to the fact that we had to live here while the work was going on, and tried to inconvenience us as little as possible. Joe worked with us with each change and/or additional work we requested, and the addition to the bedrooms and new master bath were just what we hoped for. The finished product is beautiful, and we would recommend Joe for any job."
"Prompt, courteous and professional. My limited availability was accommodated. The faucet replacement was very quick and done professionally. The replacement parts were affordable and high quality. I would use Doc's again in the future."
"It went very well. If you are looking for a reputable, dependable and competitively priced contractor to renovate your bathrooms, I highly recommend Kitchen & Bathroom King LLC. They just completed renovating two bathrooms in my North Wildwood condo and they did an excellent job; great work, on time and within quoted budget. Kitchen & Bathroom King LLC is a one stop shop. They handle it all; permits, plumbing, electrical, sheet rock and spackling, tiling, painting and clean-up. Definitely a contractor to include when getting quotes on a renovation project."
Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts
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.
If you remove a load-bearing wall to create an entrance to a carport or covered patio, you can expect to pay between $3,200 and $9,500, with an average cost of $6,400. Factors such as the type of addition and if that area needs additional work will add to the price.
Using a steel frame may raise the value of your home. Steel is more heat resistant, has better longevity, and doesn’t need any upkeep compared to traditional wood. You can also customize a steel build a little easier than other materials like brick, concrete, and vinyl—which have trouble bending and adapting to renovations.
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.
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.
