"We lived out of town and Sam handled a lot of problems for us that he didn't have too. He also took time to help us pick out different appliances and fixtures. Helped us with ideas for a laundry room when others said it couldn't be done. His sub contractors did a good job for the most part. Needed some minor follow up on some work."
"They were excellent. It took quite a while. They had their own people. Their contractors didn't waste any time. They came in the morning and worked through and left when they had to leave. They were all professional, organized and experienced. I had no problems. I would definitely use them again."

"My wife was thrilled with the results! What a transformation! We experienced excellent service. the team was professional on phone and in person. Even junior members of the team were polite and used clean language. They were also thoughtful, when considering the weather and what effect it would have on their work. Price was competitive among other contractors. They removed our awnings permanently -our request- at no extra cost. They also suggested replacing the front gutter, and charged only for materials. Overall we highly recommend and would hire them again for any future work."
"This company was very professional from the beginning. They fixed the work on my project that the previous contractor abandoned and refused to finish. I wish I found them initially to start my project."

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts
Your local building code will list all the framing requirements for whatever type of structure you're building. Most exterior walls require spacing of 16 inches on-center, while many non-load-bearing interior walls only require 24 inches of spacing. However, there are also varying requirements depending on your construction material, so checking your municipality's rules is essential.
While it is possible to build a wooden carport yourself, especially if you are skilled in carpentry, professional construction is recommended. Professionals ensure structural integrity, proper anchoring, correct alignment, and the use of quality materials for a stable and durable result.
Most of the time, you’ll want to use screws on your subfloor rather than nails. Nails can actually weaken plywood, whereas screws can easily penetrate without damage. They also form a more secure connection because of their shape, preventing squeaky floors and tightly holding the subfloor in place. That said, some contractors do prefer nails depending on the type of floor covering because they allow for more flexibility.
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.
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.
