"Michaels Construction was recommended by a friend. I asked for a proposal and quote for having my deck rebuilt. After arriving to discuss my vision for the project Owner Steven Michaels came back with a proposal. I accepted his proposal and he was able to begin the work the very next week. His crew were very professional both in their carpentry skills as well as their courteous interactions with me. The crew kept the worksite neat and picked up. All scrap and trash was removed. The final product was professionally finished and made me smile each time I look at it. I am so glad I hired Michael’s Construction and highly recommend them."

"The owner was very easy to work with. The price was reasonable for the work done. The fence was torn down by the recent hurricane. They replaced it with a much better gate and retaining piece. The workers were prompt, they made sure they greeted me and my spouse. They showed me how everything worked after they were finished. A great experience and pretty fast response after a big storm. Thanks and will hire again in the future."

"Vendor answered his phone. Set up an appointment to visit the repair site. Arrived on time. Presented a fair estimate. Provided a written statement of work listing all particulars. Carpenter arrived on time. Worked continuously for about 10-12 hrs replacing front external steps. Board cuts created tight 45 degree picture-frame fittings. The overall work was very well done. Painting was not included. If I need add'l or new work, I will call this firm and definitely recommend them."

"The service was excellent all our expectations were met. When construction had to change for our community the company assisted with beautiful changes that brought up the value of our home. The builder and his workers were willing to fix anything that we wanted done for a fair price. This was our third home home built and we were extremely satisfied."

"Matt was very helpful and responsive. There was a detailed quote in the proposal and no surprises in what I was billed! Highly recommend! They did great work, and followed up with any questions I had. They fixed an issue when one arose quickly (same day). I have had a lot of renovations done over the years. Bluebird was one of the best contractors I have dealt with. I will definitely contact Bluebird first if we need any more work done!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

A cross brace for a fence gate should stretch from the top corner of the gate’s hinge side to the bottom corner of its latch side at a 45-degree angle to the bottom of the gate. This positioning distributes the bulk of the gate’s weight to the base of the post, taking pressure off the top hinge.

You should avoid drilling or cutting into load-bearing beams because removing material will weaken it and increase the risk of structural damage or even collapse. If you do need to drill into a load-bearing beam, speak with a structural engineer first to discuss where it’s safest to drill and the width and depth of the bit that’s safe to use.

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.

The best way to calculate framing costs is by basing your costs on the square footage of your home. On average, framing your home could cost anywhere between $7 and $16 per square foot. 

To ensure you don’t go over budget, base your estimates on the higher end of the price range. If you know you’re going to use high-end materials or require a custom or complex build, you might even want to tack on an additional 5% of your budget.

An A-frame home can be cheaper to build than a traditional house, but that is not always a given. Prices can be fairly similar in some cases, depending on the location, design, and necessary site preparation. Costs for an A-frame typically run between $100 to $200 per square foot, which is comparable to the cost of a traditional home. The cost of an A-frame can come in under those numbers if you opt for a prefabricated kit.
