"Rick and his crew were just what I was looking for. I had questions about replacing my home roof with metal and Rick answered them all along with a few suggestions that I hadn't thought of. He came to my home on the day the supplies were being delivered to be sure everything was correct and direct the driver where to put them. The workers were reliable, (at the work site at 6am everyday), friendly, and most importantly skillful. I love my new roof and have been getting calls and comments from neighbors and friends who drive by. I would surely recommend RMS Contractors to anyone looking for a new roof!"
"Ben and Skyler were nothing short of amazing throughout finishing our basement. Not only did they do great work but they were also very helpful in adding suggestions for construction and ways to improve our space. Ben was very up front about the costs and always very informative and communicative about their approach and timing. If you are looking for any type of home projects or remodeling, make sure you get in touch with Ben at Level Interior Solutions. You won’t regret it."
"I never contacted the provider or used this service in anyway. I have to write this review so that the request to write this review stops popping up. The rating is bogus as it is required to be able to submit. "

"Bert and Joe did an excellent job finishing our basement. They went above and beyond what we had agreed to prior to signing the contract. They were flexible and worked well with changes that came up during the job. I highly recommend them. The basement turned out better than expected."
"It was fantastic. They did a top quality work. It was really a perfection. They were really into the details. It was great. The contractors were really nice and friendly. We actually recommended them to a neighbor."

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts
In framing, studs are placed at 16-inch intervals to coincide with the typical spacing of wall materials such as drywall or plywood. This spacing is called "on-center" and is necessary for maintaining structural stability and efficient use of materials. The 16-inch spacing also helps to distribute the weight evenly across the building's structure. For those looking to cut material costs and improve energy efficiency, 24-inch stud spacing can be employed through a method called "advanced framing". This requires careful planning and adherence to local building codes to ensure structural integrity.
A-frame homes are on the smaller side. While there’s no set square footage amount it has to be, it will usually come in around 1,000 square feet or smaller.
