"I talked to two other contractors one never met time restrains( two hours late for first meeting no call) and the other contractor told me I was wrong and changed what I wanted and went $10,000 over my budget. Vista Del Sol was right on time sent the quote sooner than promised. They started and finished the job sooner than promised. The supervisor (Jesus) did a great job with materials and schedules. The drywall crew was in and out so fast I almost missed them. Paint crew didn t spill anything and cleaned up spotlessly. The tile team was fantastic, the best I ve ever seen. We love our new bedroom and bathroom."

"After having a TERRIBLE experience with a Lowes Contractor I needed to get the job done! Brenda was exceptionally easy to schedule with and quoted a very reasonable price for the job. Not only did Raul and his team arrive prepared but they were early and got the job done in under an hour... this is a job that the lowes contractor has had since April to do! Save yourself the hassle and use Premier the first time!!! The guys were efficient, courteous and even cleaned up during and after the job!! A++++"

I would absolutely recommend him to anyone else who needs his services. You will not be disappointed!"

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

Most of the time, you’ll want to use screws on your subfloor rather than nails. Nails can actually weaken plywood, whereas screws can easily penetrate without damage. They also form a more secure connection because of their shape, preventing squeaky floors and tightly holding the subfloor in place. That said, some contractors do prefer nails depending on the type of floor covering because they allow for more flexibility.

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.

Installing a tongue-and-groove wall requires similar techniques to those associated with installing shiplap. However, because of the precision necessary to make each board fit perfectly and the increased material prices, the cost is higher than that of shiplap installations. Expect to spend between $2 and $6 more per square foot for tongue-and-groove walls versus shiplap ones.
