Q: Why is house framing so expensive?

• <div><p>House framing can be expensive because the materials are pricey, and the job requires a high level of expertise. The more complex the plans, the more expensive the job, but even the most basic frame needs to be installed with high-quality materials and precision. When pricing your home&rsquo;s framework, remember that a sturdy frame is necessary to create a safe structure.</p></div>

Q: What are the signs of structural damage?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/signs-of-structural-damage.htm">Signs of structural damage</a> include foundation cracks, roof leaks, bouncy floors, crumbling concrete, and cracked or leaning chimneys. Structural damage can make itself apparent in various ways, and sometimes, there may not be obvious signs. Inspect your foundation and roof annually to stay ahead of potentially serious structural problems. </p></div>

Q: Can you negotiate termite damage repair costs?

• <div><p>If you&rsquo;re considering buying a home with known termite damage, you can negotiate with the seller to lower the costs of the house. They might be able to make the damage repairs before handing over the keys or lower the asking price before the deal is agreed upon. It&rsquo;s vital though that even if you&rsquo;re winning the negotiation, a home inspection contingency might be a good idea in case of future issues. </p></div>

Q: Can I use a nail to find ceiling joists?

• <div><p>You can use a nail to find ceiling joists, but it&rsquo;s not as reliable as a stud finder, and you&rsquo;ll end up with lots of small holes in your ceiling. If the nail hits a joist, you'll feel increased resistance. Mark the spot with a pencil. Repeat this process regularly along the ceiling, 16 or 24 inches apart, until you've mapped out the joist locations. </p></div>

Q: How do I know if a support beam needs replacing?

• <div><p>The best way to know if your beams still provide adequate support is to consult a structural engineer. Structural beams can crack and even sag over time but may still be structurally sound. Keep an eye out for signs of issues in your home, such as sagging floors or ceilings, major cracks in your ceiling and walls, or signs of water damage around a weight-bearing wall.</p></div>

They came out and gave me an estimate but unfortunately, I decided that I really did not want to get the work done. But they did a good job. The man who came out was a professional, did a great job, appoint everything to me, and we got a good conversation, so, I would give them a rating of A....

They do a beautiful job. Their price is a little higher but they are definitely worth it. They cleaned up really nice after the work was done and were really nice people. We would recommend them and this is a very professional company.

Rich came to my home to give me an estimate. I told him that my father was a very particular man and always believed that if you were going to do something, do it right or don't do it at all. My biggest fear was the finish work. I asked Rich about his finish work and he told me that I...

They are a father and son team, they argue, and son wins out. They kept busy, but watch out for outlet installs, they aren't level, or even. But they tried to get your monies worth. Rest of work was good. Toilet and sink still don't empty right.
