"My wife and I are acting as general contractor to build our home on our lot. We hired Artica Construction as sub contractor to perform most all of major areas of work to build our home up through completion of shell of home. Continuing to use them for various other areas of home build such as insulation and drywall install. Artica Construction has been very accommodating and flexible to work with in all aspects. Workmanship is performed in an professional manner and expeditiously completed. This company works very well with individuals who want to be their own general contractor or they can provide full service as a general contractor and accomplish the complete build of a home on your lot if you wish."

"Paul and his team are true professionals. They went above and beyond and installed, repaired and left me with fantastic looking garage. Not only do these gentlemen know drywall, they can fix drywall problems and they do great work! They did a site survey, provided me an estimate and firm start date. They were true to the price (which I consider very competitive) and began and finished on the day they said they would. I would hire them again in a second! Plus, they are simply nice guys, easy and fun to be around. They truly enjoy their work. If you choose to go with them you’ll have friends for life. Nothing but good. Finally, in the crazy world we live in today they are role models for good citizenship and manners. GREAT!!!!"

"Home and Rental Maintenance are the best around! Josh and his team have been able to complete any task I’ve thrown their way. I’ve called them for plumbing, electric, heat & air, hot tub issues, roof leak, yard work and even a rodent problem. They are friendly, always reliable and show up quickly if I need them in a pinch. I wish that they could be cloned for work at my personal residence. Prices are also always responsible for the services. I can’t say enough good things about the business!"

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

While framing a basement is not as difficult as finishing a basement, it's something you should typically leave to the pros. That’s because if something is installed correctly, it will affect your entire basement. However, you can take care of some of the smaller tasks, like filling holes or putting up some insulation.

You may need a permit to install your window seat. Even though it's an indoor modification, some municipalities require permits for any built-ins added to homes. Check with your carpenter or, if you're DIY-ing, do some research on your city's requirements.

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.

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. 

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.
