"Mack Rubio does fantastic woodwork. He and Juri responded within minutes of my request for new porch stairs and railings, as well as replacement of rotted fascia and siding. His work is solid, fast, and precise. Excellent skill and craftsmanship. His estimates are affordable and his team are always punctual and professional. This is my first home purchase and it is a fixer-upper, so I will definitely be calling Mack again for assistance with all of our home improvement projects. I highly recommend Handy Mack for all home repairs and renovations!"

"I hired for electrical, masonry, gutters, waterproofing, grouting, painting, spackling, Roofing, plumbing. Every single job was done to 100% perfection. They are meticulous and very clean. They leave and clean up perfectly. That best attribute is the knowledge and thought into planning and completing a project. They carefully assess and even provide before and after photos. They also know when a project is outside the scope of their expertise, they will refer you to a more specialized firm."

"Excellent service. Received a fair estimate from Brians, who arrived on time and was very thorough in his description of what work would have to be done . It was a slight challenge getting the appointment made because of my work schedule, but Brians worked with me to get a good date. His crew arrived on time, kept me informed during the job and left the place spotless. I fully recommend Brians Contractor Corp. for all of your roofing needs. Be careful though to make sure you are getting Brians Contractor Corp. You donâ t want anyone on your roof but these guys. Thank you Brians Contractor Corp.!!"

"Hugo's work was impeccable. His fee was fair, his work was beautiful, and he cleaned up completely. He had a problem with Zelle, not his fault, to clear the deposit. But he himself was totally professional. I've already recommended him to my building super for other jobs."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Learning how to frame a house includes picking the right lumber for the job. Most people will want to pick pine, spruce, or fir for the framing. These types of lumber are affordable and produce sturdy framing for structures. Look for kiln-dried lumber to reduce the risk of shrinkage or insect damage after installation. As part of what’s included in framing a house when you hire a professional, the contractor should order the lumber, so you don’t have to worry about finding the right lumber.

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.

Costs depend on furniture type, size, complexity, and whether additional modifications are needed.

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.

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.
