The company is co-owned by Rusty Holt and Chris Cochran. Together we bring to the construction and decision process over 40 years of hands on building and business experience. We have worked for the some of the nation’s largest contractors as a superintendent/PM and acted as the project manager and owner’s representative for multimillion-dollar medical complexes. These are just two of the roles we have filled in the industry. In addition, we have met the needs of many individual homeowners. We are each familiar with what it takes to complete a given division of construction at the tradesman level. Our experience over the years has focused on multi-family, single family residential, hospitality, medical offices, light industrial, and, general retail. Projects have included ground up and interior upfits. People ask us, what is your niche. It’s simple, we build. One of the reasons we are successful is our dependable base of sub-contractors can be counted on to show up and do quality work at a competitive price. Recently our company was featured in Mount Pleasant magazine. You can view the article at : http://mountpleasantmagazine.com/2019/people/citadels-quarters-one/

"So pleased with my choice to use Blue Horizon, Rusty was great to work with, he kept me well informed on the schedule work. His crew showed up on time and completed the work that was scheduled for that day. I used most of Rusty suggestions , from the design firm to the cabinet maker. Rusty taught me a lot through this 8 month process of the remodel. When an issue came up( as they often do in a remodel), he always had options to handle the situation. We are very pleased with our “new” house. I don’t think you will find a better company or person to work with. Ask for Rusty."

"Mr. Mike is truly an honest and very admirable handy man. He is true to his word and explains to you everything he is doing on your home remodel project. He listens to you about everything you want in your remodel plans. I was very nervous to find someone to help me redo my front main bathroom again after the first contractor never showed back up to finish the job. Mr. Mike showed up on time. He looked at my floor and looked at my bathroom. He immediately knew I had a water leak. The tile grout was all cracking on the bathroom floor and the bathroom had a terrible smell like old wet rotted wood. Mr. Mike gutted the bathroom again told me there was no rubber liner used for the shower and I had black mold. I was so upset, but Mr. Mike was so nice and calm which made me feel better. He basically rebuilt my entire bathroom. It only took him 5 days. He also found electrical wires by my water lines!! I am over the moon happy about my new bathroom and beautiful floors throughout my whole house. He also installed new interior doors. I loved the guys work and honesty so much that I redid another bathroom in my back bedroom. Mr. Mike is a handy man keeper!"

"Poor quality work. Monty and his sons finished our project just over a year ago. We have had problems with every aspect of the work that was done - plumbing, electric, HVAC, cabinets/drawers, flooring, tile, appliance installation. Most recently was a $300 bill to reinstall the garbage disposal that Monty and his sons incorrectly installed. The plumber said he'd never seen such a lazy job done. For the record, I presented Monty a list of issues a year ago and instead of fixing them, he walked out on us. So please think twice before working with this company that claims they are "built on trust and focused on quality.""

I HAVE TEMPORARILY SUSPENDED MY BUSINESS UNTIL I RECOVER FROM LEFT HIP AND RIGHT KNEE REPLACEMENT SURGERY. I WILL BE RESUMING WORK AS SOON AS I AM PHYSICALLY ABLE TO DO SO, OFFERING THE SAME QUALITY WORKMANSHIP AS IN THE PAST. Finish Carpentry Services is committed to to delivering quality woodworking and personalized service to our customers. Our business was established in 1985, doing primarily interior trim work, but also designing, building & installing cabinets in custom homes ranging in size from 2500 to 13,000 square ft. In 2011 the recession made it necessary to lay off entire 4 man crew, and I registered with Angie's List with interior trim and cabinets remaining the specialty of the business, but also doing jobs in other categories of carpentry (see categories listed in our ad). Six consecutive Super Service Awards show our commitment to quality and service, which is the guarantee that we stand behind our work . Scroll through the image gallery to see pictures of our work and feel free to contact us and ask if your project is something we would handle. Consultation and design time is moderately priced, but free for first time customers. See additional savings in our coupon offer.

"Mike is a rarity! We are so pleased we found and used Mike for our staircase remodel and echo all of the points made in prior Angie's List reviews. He is not rushed. He values craftsmanship, the details, and ensuring the project is completed the right way the first time. He is extremely thorough, professional and communicative. Imagine that! He is also extremely responsive and professional. While he admittedly doesn't move as fast as he used to, that was not a problem for us at all. We would rather have someone take their time and do the job the right way than work hurriedly. His pricing was fair and he is willing to do both small and large jobs. We will absolutely use him again for our finish carpentry needs."

Carpentry questions, 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.

It’s best to use two screws to secure deck boards into every joist. Securing the boards to every joist makes the deck more structurally sound, while using two screws on the outer sides of the boards can help prevent warping and cupping.

There are approximately 5.33 board feet in a 2x4. You can use the board foot calculator in this article to easily find the answer. A 2x4 is 2 inches of thickness by 4 inches of width, so you need to find the length, with 8 feet being the most common. You’d use the calculator here to multiply 2 times 4 times 8, and then divide by 12, arriving at a total of 5.33 board feet. 

One of the most common house framing basics for decades has been using wood for the framing work. However, some framing contractors now suggest using steel frames. Steel is lightweight, resistant to fire, and resistant to moisture, all of which are areas where wood framing could cause problems. However, steel framing is more expensive than wood and limits your ability to insulate the home.

Bow windows need support because they are large and extend out from the exterior wall of the home. Bow windows may extend 1 foot to several feet from the outside of the home, so you’ll need to provide additional support to handle this weight. A window contractor will be able to provide the proper amount of support for your new bow window.
