"SwiftBuild Construction replaced my roof and gutters as well as repaired some exterior woodwork. The experience was professional, no new upcharges came up that were not discussed at the time of the contract, if some issues were found they completed the work without any adjustments to the price. The site was cleaned up completely, their supervisors were on site all the time to answer any questions. Prices were competitive and the work schedule was followed closely. Completely satisfied."

Customers say: Quick response

"Endri was very easy to deal with in getting the proposal, making and keeping the appointment, and doing the work. He is clearly experienced in making customers happy, not just doing the job and moving on. I hired him for two projects: replacing a toilet and replacing a steam radiator. He did both in a few hours. The jobs were mainly straight-forward, but the radiator proved not to be a straight replacement. But he got the necessary parts and fittings and completed the job within the time frame we had originally estimated. He left the areas where he had worked as clean if not cleaner than they had been before. I plan to make him my go-to pro for plumbing. He also has experience in minor electrical work and light remodeling. (Not in my experience, but other people I know who have worked with him have confirmed this.) Based on how easy it was to work with him on the plumbing work, I also plan to use him for other projects I have that are not plumbing-related."

"Aldo was great to work with. He painted our entire condo (1075 square feet) and put in new floors upstairs to make our condo ready to sell. He also fixed a couple of issues around the house which made our place look amazing! He gives you the best value for your money and does an amazing job. Very happy with our place!!"

"Duraglass was quick to respond to my request for services, and schedule visit to my home - I had 4 panes of glass in wood frames that were needed to be replaced, and a double glass window that also needed to be replaced. DuraGlass arrived on schedule, determined what was needed for repairs; maintained great housekeeping in the execution of the work. cleaned up after the job, kept me informed on progress and status on arrival, and provided consultation on an additional window that needs repairs. The pricing was competitive, and overall, I was very happy with their efforts and would hire Duraglass again."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

Stick frames, metal frames, or prefabricated concrete frames are included in framing a house, along with creating the framework and space for windows, doors, and entryways. Other aspects of developing a home—like drywall, insulation, windows, doors, and more—are not included in the cost to frame a house.

Traditionally, bungalows are single-story homes, although having a half or partial story on top of the first floor is common. While adding a second story to a bungalow is certainly possible, the home would no longer be considered a bungalow by the strictest definition.

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

Building a barndominium means converting a barn into a house. Barndominiums are becoming popular as spacious and stylish alternatives to typical housing structures. Old barns that become houses traditionally consist of wooden construction. However, newer structures, such as pole barns, often contain metal exteriors and roofs. Converting a metal outbuilding into a house presents an excellent opportunity to create a barndominium from metal.
