Customers say: True professional

"Everything came together perfectly. I'm very happy with all modifications but especially the stove cutout. The quartz countertop needed to be cut down and the cabinet needed to be narrowed and modified (removed drawer and two-shelf cabinet) to fit cooking sheets and cutting boards. This is the most visible repair and it looks flawless. The laundry room with its various projects took the most amount of time and it was well done. RCU remodeling was very responsive, called us promptly, gave a fair quote for the amount of work done, were incredibly polite the whole time and did a great job of explaining everything they planned on charging us for, plus the approximate time to complete. I think it took a day longer than anticipated, but we've literally never had a house project done by professionals that didn't take more time than expected. Importantly, they were able to start very quickly after we agreed to the proposed timeline and price. We were anticipating get a replacement stove quickly and needed to get the work done. For better or worse, the stove was very delayed, which gave us plenty for the cabinet paint job to dry completely. Lastly, they bought a full gallon of paint for said cabinet and left the remainder with us so we could touch up other cabinets outside the scope of the project. Great service and people all around!! Highly recommend."

"Found Sentri on Angi. Jeanette and Violet were very pleasant and efficient in getting a contractor to me in the time frame needed. The contractor was excellent and the roof looks great! I would definitely work with them again if I had additional projects."

"Uriel and his crew are a dream come through. I have been burned my many contactors in the past but Uriel is absolutely the best I have ever dealt with. He communicated daily, started work and finished quicker than I could have imagined. He texted me every morning when the crew was showing up. Sent me pictures on the progress and was quick to point items out during the process. They did an outstanding job and cleaned up everything when they completed. I bought a mid century home and we have a laundry list of future work. I will keep Uriel on speed dial. He is simply amazing. Thank you Uriel!!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

Your local building code will list all the framing requirements for whatever type of structure you're building. Most exterior walls require spacing of 16 inches on-center, while many non-load-bearing interior walls only require 24 inches of spacing. However, there are also varying requirements depending on your construction material, so checking your municipality's rules is essential.

Not all porch columns are load-bearing, though they can be. Some porch columns are simply decorative. There are ways to identify a load-bearing column, like looking for visible seams and a foundation. Also, check to see if the column directly enters the ground. In some porch installations, a contractor will excavate a hole to install a column into the earth along with a buried cement base for stability.

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. 

Joists do distribute their load to beams, but they don’t sit on top of the beams. Instead, home builders nail or screw the joists directly to the beams such that the end of the joist butts up against the edge of the beam. Beams can sit on other beams for support, but you’ll never see a joist sitting on top of a beam or another joist.
