Customers say: Quality work

"I recently had the pleasure of working with Elevated Home Improvements for the construction of a sunroom and deck, and it was a wonderful experience from start to finish. Jeff Bell and his sons run this family-owned and operated business, and their commitment to quality and customer satisfaction is truly commendable. From the initial consultation to the completion of the project, communication was excellent. They were honest and upfront about the process, timelines, and costs, which I really appreciated. Not only did they finish the job on time, but the results were beyond my expectations. The craftsmanship was impeccable, and the attention to detail was evident in every aspect of the work. What stood out the most was their friendly and approachable demeanor. They made sure to address any concerns I had along the way and were always willing to go the extra mile to ensure everything was perfect. The pricing was fair and transparent, making the entire experience stress-free. I highly recommend Elevated Home Improvements to anyone looking for high-quality work, excellent communication, fair pricing, and a friendly team. You won't be disappointed with the beautiful work they do!"

"Gerardo was fantastic. He listened to me and detailed the repair to me. He did a wonderful job and I am very happy with the results. I didn't get a ton of quotes but the price seemed on the cheaper side as well. Hopefully I won't ever have to use them again but If I do have ceiling issues they will be getting my business."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

A few signs that you need a new door frame include:

  • The door no longer fits properly in its frame and sticks or scrapes.

  • You notice cracks, holes, or rotting.

  • You feel a draft coming from around the door when it’s closed.

  • You find yourself frequently needing to make repairs.

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.

The easiest way to tell if a wall is load bearing is to check if it’s an exterior wall or if it runs perpendicular to the joists above and below it (or parallel to beams). Exterior walls are almost always load-bearing, and walls that run under beams or parallel to them are also usually load-bearing. There are exceptions to these rules, and walls that don’t fit into these categories can still be load-bearing. If you’re unsure, hire a structural engineer to look at your home to assess whether or not the wall is structural.

Begin by analyzing the blueprints and gathering the proper materials before framing a house. With the prep stages behind you, begin by framing the floor of a house on the newly set foundation. Exterior and interior walls come next, along with rough openings for doors and windows. Contractors will then add ceiling and roof rafters to finish things off. 

When hanging a door frame, it’s recommended that you use screws, not nails. Screws are more secure, easier to tighten, and easier to remove if you need to adjust the frame. On average, the cost to replace a door frame is about $400, but you can save on labor costs if you’re confident in your ability to DIY the project.
