"I have had over 30 contractors at my home as it has been basically rebuilt. This company has been the most professional i have dealt with. Showed up on time, communicated progress, cleaned up at the end of each day COMPLETELY, came with all necessary tools and supplies. Along the width of the house, all of the walls were removed from the floor to aprox 2 feet. Lower portion of studs and base plates removed, walls sealed with amazing product, studs, base plate and walls replaced (not the sheetrock). All lower level floors sealed. We have had over 5" of rain in the last 24 hours. This is the first time since i have owned this house that the floors have not flooded when we have saturated soil and heavy rain. Incredible product, excellent company. i highly recommend both. "
"It went FANTASTIC! They completely remodeled the interior of my 20 year old home and relandscaped the outdoors. I made a 175% profit on the sale of my home. Very detail oriented and meticulous in the craftsmanship!"
"I never contacted the provider or used this service in anyway. I have to write this review so that the request to write this review stops popping up. The rating is bogus as it is required to be able to submit. "

"This is the second time I (my company and I) have hired him. And again he did not disappoint! He was wonderful! Was always there on time, worked hard and was very fast and diligent to complete the job in record time. His work was perfect and he always went the extra mile. He is a great guy.....very caring and honest! He is a cut above and I would hire him again in a heartbeat!"
"Tobby, the owner, is a hard worker himself and is energetic in the commission of his business. I plan on calling them first for any future needs. Thanks Tobby."
"They had to postpone the start date by a week due to a serious illness in the family, but they called on Friday before they were to start on Monday leaving plenty of time for me to adjust my schedule. They arrived promptly on the following Monday, explained to me how they would proceed and immediately got to work. Through the week, they brought in a plumber and a sheetrock man, a total of four men on the job. They didn't mind my constant looking in to see what they were doing. Did small things that I asked. All week, even in the late hours of a couple of the work days, everyone remained in good humor and had smiles on their faces. At the end, when they cleaned up an awful lot of trash, it was like saying goodbye to good friends. Excellent and very professional job. And a good bargain for the reasonable cost. All I have to do is paint and set a little bit of tile. "
Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts
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.
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.
Yes, walls on the top floor can be load-bearing if stacked on the floor’s foundation.
Yes, you can find ceiling joists using simple tools if a stud finder isn't available.
Using a hammer requires patience and a keen ear. Gently tap the ceiling in a grid pattern, listening for sound changes. A hollow sound indicates space between joists, while a solid, dull thud suggests a joist. Mark the location with a pencil and confirm by tapping from different angles.
Alternatively, you can use a nail, but this method will leave small holes. You'll feel increased resistance when the nail hits a joist. Mark the spot and repeat the process every 16 or 24 inches to map the joist locations. This method is considered less reliable than using a stud finder.
Yes, you can hang picture frames, shelves, and other items on Trusscore panels. For lightweight items (less than 30 pounds), the company recommends using adhesive strips rather than nails or screws. However, you’ll need to secure heavier objects to a stud in the wall. In these situations, Trusscore recommends cutting away the panel material and fastening the object to the stud with metal hardware.
