"Once I sent her all the measurements, it took her a little while to get the options back to me. Overall, they're good designs. However, they're very simplistic and give general ideas for space planning. I was hoping to have a better idea for sizes of furniture for the space and some variations on staging. Jill was very responsive when I did have a question. I'm not sure how helpful it is to have a virtual design done. If we lived in similar cities, I'd probably use her again for help with additional designs. "
"Our experience with Forge Contracting was marked by high integrity, good quality, and high value work. I wanted to acknowledge the satisfaction on our remodel. I must give a 100% satisfied mark as you not only finished the job early and under budget, but with great sub-contractors and excellent workmanship. The job was done very efficiently and timely. I would recommend Forge Contracting to anyone and will welcome any calls or references."
"They are very professional and can do almost anything. Brandon really puts in the extra effort to do things the right way. Fit and finish is very nice 👌 I will recommend them to my friends."
"I paid them full in advance as I trusted them but they did not come back to finish the work which was done incorrectly. They told me to find another contractor and never heard from them again. My mistake is that I paid them in advance over $10,000."
"Had roofing that needed to be replaced on my shed everything went smooth and speedy. Super knowledgeable! Great communication and fair priced absolutely will hire again!"
Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts
When deciding whether to use nails or screws for framing, the specific needs of the project must be taken into account. Nails have long been the go-to option for framing due to their affordability, ease of installation, and ability to withstand shear forces. They are perfect for structural framing projects where fast assembly is essential. In contrast, screws offer exceptional holding power and are particularly useful in situations requiring increased strength and resistance to pull-out forces. For projects that prioritize accuracy and long-lasting quality, screws may be the preferred option, though nails remain a dependable and efficient choice.
