Customers say: Super punctual

"Doug was affable and punctual and gave us a reasonable estimate for the job. Unfortunately, we saw very little of him after that: his workers (also very friendly and punctual) openly admitted to us that they had very little idea about the project they were working on, that not much had been explained to them. It was difficult to communicate with Doug about design/issues that came up since that communication almost never happed in person, only via text, and it became clear that the project was not clearly thought out before being initiated (by us or by Doug, although we would have hoped that as the professional, he would have foreseen some of the issues that arose). Ultimately, we asked him to stop working on the project without its being completed after his team drilled into the basement concrete without covering vents or warning us to do so (he later told us he thought he would have been "smart enough" to foresee the preparation needed for him to install a drain in the basement), resulting in a thick layer of concrete dust covering all of our possessions throughout our whole home, necessitating hours of cleaning on our part. Since then, having found other non-Angie's List contractors to complete the unfinished work, every single one of them have offered harsh critiques Furko Construction's planning and execution, which is of course very frustrating for us to hear. My real critique though is not of Furko Construction, but of Angie's List: multiple times now we have employed a top rated contractor from Angie's List and that contractor has been (although all very friendly and prompt with estimates) a mistake. The contractors who have done good work for us have warned that Angie's List is deceptive in its ratings/reviews and that businesses can pay for the standing they have, corrupting the idea that good work leads to a good rating or prominent placement. I'm not sure what merit there is to this idea, but we will not be using Angie's List again after this experience. Furko Construction means well, but ultimately does not plan well, follow through, or take responsibility for mistakes."

"We hired Anthony to perform a *laundry room addition* to our house. We live in an older home and wanted to take out a 2nd floor extra storage space that we were not using and convert it into a laundry room. The price was fair but the service and work were well above average. They go above and beyond and get the job done quickly without cutting corners and fixing previous DIY improvement disasters. I could not recommend Anthony and the company more. Look no further, because this is your guy."

"I’d really like to take this time to thank rough diamond construction and Nate Miller for a wonderful wonderful job that they did for us. They took my bathtub and made a walk in shower, beautiful job and moved my washer and dryer upstairs where it was a lot more convenient for me and my husband to do laundry. I can’t thank them enough. They’re very courteous. They’re great if you ever need any kind of work done, I would highly recommend them to do the job. Thank you again Nate thanks for everything."

"McCann Home Improvements restored my faith in home improvement contractors, and possibly humanity as a whole. I connected with Anthony after a previous contractor ripped me off and left my unfinished renovation in shambles. I was a handful, being so guarded to avoid getting ripped off again, but Anthony did exactly what he said he would do - he delivered a finished renovation, communicated clearly and frequently from start to finish, and helped solve problems that had been worrying me. On top of that, his electrician was hands down the best electrician I've worked with. What really stood out was simple - Anthony has a good heart and takes pride in the experience of his clients. It shows. I encourage you to check for yourself on Angi's List, BBB, Google, etc. You can't go wrong with McCann Home Improvements."

"From the moment I put in a request for quote and Fleming Landscaping & Home Improvements, LLC answered my call immediately. I was already impressed. They were extremely professional and kept us abreast of everything from start to finish. We got a reasonable bid and they started the work on the day they said they would and did an exceptional job. My porch has not been that sturdy in many, many years and it is so solid now. My husband and I cannot stop looking at it.

We were so impressed with their work, we will be hiring them again! A pure pleasure to work with. Other contractors should take a page out of their book. This is how you treat customers!!!!

"Their Plumber Jared was amazing at the jobs I asked him to look at. He got straight to work on the problems and finished them fast. Jared not only fixed the problem, but told me what was wrong and showed me what was causing them. Best yet, he only charged me for the work and not for just coming out to look at the problems. I would suggest C&MGage Construction for anyone that wants well experienced expert and a fair price for the work."

Unfinished Carpentry FAQs, answered by experts

When deciding whether to use nails or screws for framing, the specific needs of the project must be taken into account. Nails have long been the go-to option for framing due to their affordability, ease of installation, and ability to withstand shear forces. They are perfect for structural framing projects where fast assembly is essential. In contrast, screws offer exceptional holding power and are particularly useful in situations requiring increased strength and resistance to pull-out forces. For projects that prioritize accuracy and long-lasting quality, screws may be the preferred option, though nails remain a dependable and efficient choice.

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.

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.

Framing most homes takes anywhere between five and eight weeks to complete. You’ll need to account for inclement weather conditions, material shipment times, the number of crew members, and the weight of your materials. If the weather is too hot, wet, or cold for the installation, this process could take closer to eight weeks.

The cost to frame a 2,000-square-foot house can fall anywhere between $14,000 and $32,000. This price can increase or decrease depending on what type of framing you choose, the quality of the materials, the project's complexity, and whether you decide to hire a professional to do the job.
