"very good work. excellent people doing the job. It is nice to have a contractor that will provide service in my small town. I would definitely have them come back for any additional work."
Tree Work: His Arborist was very professional and removed all the trees necessary for construction. He also removed a bunch of trees that were not related but needed taken down. The chipped all of it and removed it all cleanly. Very professional.
Stump Removal: The Stump Guy was also very professional and quick, grinding down all the stumps of trees that the Arborist had cut, Professional Job.
Site Work. The Site work was performed buy the Concrete contractor. The primary issue I had with the drive and the site was drainage, The contractor made sure that there was no issue with this. I also got a gravel drive to the garage. Very knowledgeable in this regard.
Concrete: The concrete that was poured for the foundation of the garage is excellent. One of the reasons I waited over a year to write a review was that I wanted to see how everything held up. The concrete floor in the garage is smooth per my request with no stress grooves. Since it has been poured I have not found one crack. Built to my specifications. Excellent Job.
Framing: The carpenters knew what they were doing and built the garage without plans. Only thing I needed to insure that the Roof Joists were spaced properly, which they corrected after framing was complete. The garage matched the house. I had asked for Steel reinforced headers which were installed. Good Job.
Masonry: Brickwork is excellent quality, better than the house. Very Nice.
Finishing: The garage door, window and other door were installed correctly, I asked for "The largest attic door he could find" and the one installed is perfect. Paint is a dead match for the house. Brick is also a perfect match.
Price: The price was higher than I was planning to pay, but when you consider all the work that needed to be done, and the fact that I had only one person to deal with (Jess) It was worth it. Out of the three contractors I contacted, Jess was the only one that actually took his time, had his guys come out and take a look, and gave me a real price. The others were quick to pull a quote "out of their a__)

"When we decided to redo our kitchen in April of 2012, we knew what we wanted fixed, our budget and that's about it. We started talking to contractors, kitchen design centers and researching ideas. We quickly realized we were in WAY over our heads. A lot of places offer free design services if you buy all of your materials through them. We didn't want to be tied down. We didn't want a complete tear down to the studs, either. Homemade Design to the rescue! First of all the price was an absolute steal for the service provided. Amanda and co. Listened to what we wanted and came up with inovative,functional and beautiful solutions. Our house is old. We wanted to keep that 1920s feel, but still have a dishwasher, granite countertops and stainless appliances! Amanda had the brilliant idea of only replacing the bottom cabinets. She also gave me excellent instructions on how to refinish my existing cabinets so they look like new. This was a perfect solution for US. Homemade Design gave us ideas for layout, cabinets, lighting, wall paint, appliances, furniture, countertops, backsplash, faucets, sink,and cusions for built in. She would have recommended flooring if we wanted,but we didn't. Now, Amanda is more like a consultant...( I actually called her my kitchen remodel therapist). You still are ultimately responsible for the plan and what works for you. If your measurements are off (like mine were) that's on you. I was adament about no island and no microwave over the stove and so she didn't put those in the design. Some suggestions were not my style. And I said so. Honestly, if I picked out my own kitchen it would be so safe: white subway tile or something. Amanda gave me the guts to mix patterns and create something spectacular! It took almost a year to complete ( contractors fault) We did a lot of work ourselves. We bought the cabinets, backsplash tile, light fixtures, table and banquette cusions through Homemade Design at a great discount, we checked!! If you try shopping for any part of your kitchen, the volume of choices can be overwhelming. We loved having Amanda narrow it down for us. Communication was through email, mostly. She never took longer than three business days to respond to my million questions or concerns. Awesome. 5 months later, my kitchen is a dream come true. And I owe it all to Homemade Design! "

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts
Stick frames, metal frames, or prefabricated concrete frames are included in framing a house, along with creating the framework and space for windows, doors, and entryways. Other aspects of developing a home—like drywall, insulation, windows, doors, and more—are not included in the cost to frame a house.
Most of the time, you’ll want to use screws on your subfloor rather than nails. Nails can actually weaken plywood, whereas screws can easily penetrate without damage. They also form a more secure connection because of their shape, preventing squeaky floors and tightly holding the subfloor in place. That said, some contractors do prefer nails depending on the type of floor covering because they allow for more flexibility.
When building a house, it is customary to use 16d nails that measure 3 1/2 inches in length to construct the frame. These nails are crucial in providing the necessary support and stability for structural elements like joists and studs, which ensures a sturdy framework.
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.
In framing, studs are placed at 16-inch intervals to coincide with the typical spacing of wall materials such as drywall or plywood. This spacing is called "on-center" and is necessary for maintaining structural stability and efficient use of materials. The 16-inch spacing also helps to distribute the weight evenly across the building's structure. For those looking to cut material costs and improve energy efficiency, 24-inch stud spacing can be employed through a method called "advanced framing". This requires careful planning and adherence to local building codes to ensure structural integrity.
