"This was a whole house renovation project. The house was over 100 years old so there were many unexpected issues, but Tony and his team persevered and came up with many thoughtful suggestions that greatly improved the end result. I would not hesitate to recommend them to others looking for a reliable contractor."

"We had a moisture issue with our skylights in our vaulted ceiling. After talking over several options, decided that a tear down and closed cell spray foam application was the most permanent solution to this problem. We met with several companies about the job and ran into an issue getting a comfortable feeling with each contractor until we met Paul. The job required a tear-down of the ceiling, the batt and cellulose insulation, spray foam application, some shims on the rafter for the new drywall to replace the thickness by some previous foam board, drywall, texture, and then multiple coats of paint and primer. There were a lot of angles around the skylights as well to top it off. When we met with Paul he went through the steps he would take to complete the job. He talked a lot about the prep work and what that process entailed (an important step for us since we just repainted the walls, installed some bookcases, and put in new hardwood floors) and most importantly, instilled in us a sense of confidence that he could and would get the job done. The job was not scheduled to start right away due to the cold weather so our confidence in Paul was demonstrated by his follow-up and follow-through when we were ready. It was a good feeling for us, as in the past we've had contractors bail out after waiting a period of time and also change their quotes. Paul was true to his word. We are thankful for the diligent prep work. The house was closed off in that section and it was like bomb had gone off inside of it. The blown-in cellulose was everywhere and then when the drywall dust came, you had to wonder if the finished product would ever look like it used to! The crew was very respectful and they really busted their backs getting the job done. My wife felt very comfortable with them in the house with our two little kids and we even felt comfortable leaving the house to them while they worked. When the process was finished, my wife remarked at how it looked as if nothing had ever happened! We were very appreciative to Paul and his crew for the work that they did. They showed great accountability and service and we got a good sense of their integrity. We are very thankful to have found him and we will be using him for future projects. "
Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts
The primary parts of a house that need framing during construction are floors, exterior walls, interior walls, and the roof. The framing in these areas provides the skeleton for adding other materials over the top. With walls, for example, contractors can hang drywall over the interior walls and siding over the outside of the exterior walls. Proper framing ensures a sturdy house that is built to last.
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.
Yes, you can hang picture frames, shelves, and other items on Trusscore panels. For lightweight items (less than 30 pounds), the company recommends using adhesive strips rather than nails or screws. However, you’ll need to secure heavier objects to a stud in the wall. In these situations, Trusscore recommends cutting away the panel material and fastening the object to the stud with metal hardware.
There are a few easy ways to locate a wall stud without a stud finder. First, try knocking on the wall with your knuckles. Most parts of the wall will sound hollow, but when you tap over a stud, it will sound more solid. Alternatively, since studs are spaced 16 or 24 inches apart, you can measure those distances from a corner of the room, which will always have a stud.
Bump-out additions can add some space to a closet without requiring any significant structural work. This entails pushing back the existing rear or side of the closet, simply moving the wall into either an adjacent room or unused space. For ground-floor closets, this could even be extended to the exterior of the home, but that has its own complications. Bump-outs are a good discussion to have with your contractor if you’re just looking to increase the space a little—not renovate the entire closet space.
