"Tim did an excellent job of replacing main beams in living room and bedroom. Tim and his team did an excellent job of moving all my belongings so they could do the work. The work they did I could never have done as neatly myself. Along the way Tim kept me informed as to what was happening in words I could
understand. He also connected me with painters etc who could help finish the job. It is almost impossible to see the areas Tim worked on, the finishing work was so meticulous. I would highly recommend Tim And Diggs Building Technologies for any structural work . He deserves 5 stars. "

"I recently hired Buildersforce to complete an extension on my property, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the results. From start to finish, the team was professional, reliable, and highly skilled.
The communication throughout the project was excellent—clear updates, quick responses to questions, and transparency around timelines and costs. The crew arrived on time every day, maintained a clean work environment, and showed great respect for my home.
The quality of the craftsmanship truly exceeded my expectations. The extension blends seamlessly with the existing structure, and every detail—from the framing to the finishes—was completed with precision and care. It’s obvious that this company takes pride in their work.
Overall, Buildersforce delivered outstanding service and a final product that adds significant value and beauty to my home. I would confidently recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy contractor for home renovations or extensions"

Woodworking questions, answered by experts
It’s much less expensive to build a house with wood. This is because wood is relatively inexpensive, strong enough to endure decades or even centuries of weathering and pressure, and is easier to replace if there are issues. The cost of stone houses are incredibly expensive, heavy, time-consuming to build, and difficult to repair.
DIY is possible, but professional construction ensures structural integrity and proper anchoring.
Yes, home builders need to be licensed in every state and municipality in the country. The specific license required varies based on the location and the work, but most states require that the builder hold a general contractor’s license at minimum. Some states and cities also require that plumbing, electrical, roofing, and sewage system construction require individual licenses, in which case the builder may subcontract the work. You can use Angi’s contractor licensing tool to confirm that the builder you’re considering holds all the proper licenses.
Yes, professionals offer various roofing materials, including shingles and metal, to match home aesthetics.
Building a new home can be more expensive than buying an existing one, depending on the housing market in your area. Many homeowners still find that building a new house is worth the investment as they can choose the exact layout they want, as well as to choose their own floors, wall coverings, appliances, and finishes. If you live close enough to the build site, you can also stop by to check on the builder’s progress, which can provide some peace of mind that the project is worth it.
