"Chris was extremely professional and very skilled at his trade. He completed the work within 2 days of our first contact and kept excellent communication about costs, time of arrival for first consultation and date of service. The projects were challenging and he did incredible carpentry. He was very good at keeping the area clean and respectful of my home. We have already discussed additional work that he will do on the house. I am excited to work with him again and recommend him without reservation. He is a breath of fresh air for someone to really work with a homeowner!"

"I had 4 other companies visit and quote my deck project. I was extremely surprised at the lack of detail and vague quoting style. Finish line was quick to respond, the design and quoting was conducted professionally with a printed/email breakdown of material, labor and description of the build. From quoting to construction great communication, they showed up ahead of schedule. There was a code violation from the previous deck builder that was an oversight. Finish line accommodated a last minute redesign upon arrival. The crew was extremely knowledgeable & professional with proper work ethic. The redesign was a down grade from original design, however, better for us. Finish line did what was best for my family and not themselves. Finish line re-quoted showing the savings in full detail and delivered ahead of schedule. I'm pleased to see contractors conducting their business the right way. Great job from the entire team!"

"We recently hired Built Right Construction to build a 10' x 24' deck, and the results are absolutely gorgeous. From the start, Steve was fantastic to work with—he was always easy to reach and took the time to explain every step of the process. ​What also set them apart was their help with the 'behind-the-scenes' work; they drafted the drawings for our permit documentation and coordinated all the necessary inspections. The project was completed right on time and at a very reasonable price. We highly recommend Steve and his team for anyone looking for quality craftsmanship and a seamless experience."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Professionals charge between $60 and $95 per hour to install ornamental porch columns. The amount of time they need varies based on the condition of the porch, whether they need to remove old columns, and if there is any damage to your porch's structure. This cost can increase if more issues come up during the installation process.

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.

Homeowners can increase the usefulness of their garage space in other ways, and one option is to extend the length of the garage by making it deeper. The process is similar to traditional garage extensions, but the end product is a garage with a different layout rather than additional parking spaces. 

Installing an ornamental or decorative porch column takes around three to five hours. Structural columns take longer because your pro has to install a jack to hold up the roof while switching the column out. If there's any structural damage, it can add several days to the timeline to repair the damage.

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.
