"expedient towards handling my issues and concerns produced quality work and hired them as my general contractor for other phases of my building project"
"We took 7 bids from Sisters/Redmond/Bend area paint contractors. We chose Optimum Painting for three reasons: First, Angie's List rates them highly, over a number of years. Second, John Chabot (president and bidder) is low-key, reponsive and informative. John suggested a longer-lasting paint, for a modest extra cost). Third, Optimum's bid was very competitive. Bo did a great job of prepping, painting and cleaning up. Throughout, customer service was utmost. We're relieved to have the house repainted in a timely manner, before winter sets in. Yes, we recommend John's team at Optimum Painting, without hesitation."
"Communication and trust are difficult things to come by when looking for a contractor. We had both and it was certainly earned. The shower's absolutely beautiful too! Thank you so much!"
"Great guys. Polite and engaging. Refreshing to find contractors that are punctual, great communicators and do what they originally said they would do. Have already discussed other projects that I will be having these gentlemen do in the future."
"We recently hired Contractor Corey for two major renovation projects in our home, and we couldn’t be happier with the results. He transformed our son’s bedroom into a fun and functional space, complete with a custom-built bed and an incredible climbing wall that our son absolutely loves. Corey’s creativity and craftsmanship really made the room something special.
In addition to the bedroom, Corey renovated our guest bathroom, which now feels like a spa retreat. He installed heated tile floors, a new bathtub, vanity, toilets, and updated lighting—every detail was done with care and precision. His attention to detail was spot on throughout the entire process, and the quality of his work truly speaks for itself.
Corey was professional, reliable, and easy to communicate with from start to finish. We’re so impressed with his work and would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a skilled and thoughtful contractor."

"We did almost the entire house through Paul. Some of his workmanship - especially the fine details like small paint splatter, garage floor epoxy coat application, and cabinet painting - was 3 stars at first. Other work he did - installing new plumbing fixtures, bathtub sliding doors, sheet metal exhaust for kitchen - were 5 stars. Paul consistently worked to get it right and make me happy. He was always responsive and available. His attitude is 5 starts. He was open about his costs. Some things dragged on but most remodel contractors suffer from this ailment. Because of the scarcity of tradesmen in Bend/Central Oregon, I recommend learning the history about his subcontractors before they start work on your house. Most were good but a couple did not have the right experience."

Framing a house with steel generally takes less time—around five to eight weeks—than most building materials. The steel components can also be made quickly off-site and manufactured with pre-punched holes for running piping and electrical wiring, which will lessen the prep work and extra labor during construction.
New builds, remodels, and additions often necessitate professional framing expertise.
Modern brick houses are really stick-built homes with a brick facade for aesthetic purposes only, so most have framing. With genuine brick construction, most homeowners install furring strips over the interior of the brick and then install drywall over those strips to cover the brick wall, so they don’t have traditional framing.
For maximum stability, install grab bars on wall studs, as this will adequately support the weight. However, if you don't have access to studs, you can get by with wall anchors. If opting for the latter, choose specialty hollow wall anchors.
When deciding if you should use 2x6 or 2x8 deck joists, consider the size of the deck, joist spacing, and materials. Larger decks, larger-spaced joists, and weaker wood all require more support, meaning they need larger joists. For example, 2x8 redwood joists spaced 16 inches apart can only safely span up to 10 feet and 7 inches. On the other hand, 2x10 southern pine joists spaced 12 inches apart can be as big as 16 feet and 2 inches. If you aren’t sure what size joist is best for your project, speak with your deck builder.
