"My first impression of Mark was that he was just a downright nice guy. I had two contractors out before him and already had some estimates. What I appreciated about Mark was that he was a nice guy, but still able to be straight-forward about numbers and talk realistically about what needed done. This meant he could say what needed said, but he was still great talk work with. In fact, he gave me a higher number than my previous contractors -- but I truly believed him when he mentioned several things the other contractors missed in their estimates, and I would ultimately pay for anyway. Mark was just giving me the real cost upfront -- instead of nickel and diming me. In fact, he made it a point to try and avoid coming back with incremental increases -- even though I know he ran in to things that were unexpected. He kept to his estimate. As the project went along, some things did change but each step of the way he always made the right decision. For example, when he removed the drop ceiling in the kitchen to repair what we thought was as small area of falling ceiling -- he discovered it was much worse than he thought and he couldn't possibly do that much work considering that it was easily 3x more than it looked like it would be when we first took a peek at it. So instead, Mark made up for it in other ways. For example, one of the doors upstairs to the bathroom was an odd size. He could have taken a shortcut and put a door on it that worked -- but it would have opened in to the hallway...which would have been awkward. Instead, he built a custom edge to the door frame and made the door open in to the bathroom. This made the door look great and avoided an awkward-looking doorway. Mark often did things that made it obvious he intended to work on things to get a result he would be happy with, basically making sure that whatever he finished was something he would be happy with as if it were his own house. Many of the final touches were things I didn't even ask for -- he just 'did it' because he knew it was a minor thing but made a major impression. For instance, he painted all of the air vents and even washed the siding on the front porch. The entire project was finished in an impressive amount of time -- it was only a few days longer than he estimated, and it surprised me that he was able to do so. He was able to lead the entire job, doing most of the work himself and only bringing in folks when it made sense -- but overseeing the work quality. I can't overstate how happy and fortunate I was to find Mark. He's a stand-up guy, and straight-forward when it comes to talking through business in a way that makes it easy for you both to decide what will and won't work in terms of numbers, timing and scope of the effort. I found Mark through Angie's list and didn't know him before this. The fact that I found a negative review among so many positive reviews is something I actually appreciated. Because it gave me a chance to read his response to the negative review -- and I told him so. It's easy to be nice when things are going well, but if you read his response he was still able to keep his helpful and respectful demeanor. I thought that was a real sign of true character and based on my experience -- I was right. I highly recommend Mark for your consideration if you want someone who will be respectful, forthcoming and does incredible work. His extensive experience is obvious in his work and he's the first guy I am calling for my next investment property."

"Mark is an extremely hard worker. We had a complicated (to say the least) short sale buying experience and I truly believe it was his hard work ethic and "get it done attitude" that is allowing me to write this review from inside our new home. He went above and beyond to answer all of our questions at all times of the day and even weekends. He had to deal with the bank and two different realtors to get our answers but he always got what we needed. He even helped me with a mortgage question after we made settlement a month later. Our realtor told us from the beginning that he was the best, and lets just say, she wasn't kidding. I wouldn't think twice about using Mark's services again in the future.

"The designer was always very attentive when I contacted him and would answer (in detail) the numerous questions I would pose. The two contractors who showed up at my home were just as professional and pleasurable to work with. over the course of the week they were coming to my house, any ideas or suggestions from either side were always hashed out as they would materialize and by the end of the project, the end project was essentially exactly as I'd constructed it in my head. The only slight con to the end result was more-so of my own doing than anyone else's, where the light fixtures I'd purchased for the replacement did not come with rods, so a couple of the pendant lights hang crooked."

"We had a great experience with Alpine Contracting. Once the work was started, they were here everyday and we were notified if they weren't going to make it due to supplies being unavailable or the weather. If a problem came up it was corrected quickly and to our liking. I would recomment Alpine Contracting to anyone in need of a general contractor. We were very pleased with the amount of time it took to complete everything and how flexible the workers were with us as homeowners. Ron is absolutely great to work with and exceeded our expectations."

"I reached out to the contractor and the communication was excellent! He was able to translate my ideas into an actionable plan and execute the build within the allotted timeframe. During the process, my asks continued to evolve and change and he communicated the impact on the project timelines when necessary. That is more important than many people will realize. As a business, a delay in the timeline can be costly. Historically, my experience with contractors has been hit or miss with more on the miss side. But thankfully that wasn't the case with SCS."

"Mr. Hernandez and his helper were very professional. The job consisted of a difficult decking install done in our third floor attic area for installation of HVAC for the building, some lighting (LEDS)necessary for the HVAC install, and finally a 13 foot pull down ladder which was finished with a almost hidden door in the ceiling of the Center. All work was done neatly and cleanly. There was no interruption in the business or events in our Heritage Center. Further Mr. Hernandez's advice was greatly appreciated. The Heritage Center will seek Brother James Fine Carpentry for it's work from now on."

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

Building a barndominium means converting a barn into a house. Barndominiums are becoming popular as spacious and stylish alternatives to typical housing structures. Old barns that become houses traditionally consist of wooden construction. However, newer structures, such as pole barns, often contain metal exteriors and roofs. Converting a metal outbuilding into a house presents an excellent opportunity to create a barndominium from metal.

Metal stud framing parts include the studs themselves, upper and lower tracks that act as top and bottom wall plates, various angle fasteners and clips, screws for fastening pieces togeher, metal straps, c-channel supports, and thicker steel supporting structures. Roof framing metal components include pre-fabricated trusses, heavy-gauge stud pieces, and various plates and fasteners.

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.

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.
