"Working with CW Drywall was an excellent experience. Chauncey (owner) was professional, prompt, and very courteous. The work performed was exemplary and was completed in a timely manner. In addition, the cost of service was fair. He took the time to understand our needs and act accordingly. I would highly recommend CW Drywall...In fact, my neighbor just higher him also. I plan to finish our attack soon and will, once again, higher CW to install and the drywall. Thank you CW Drywall and I look forward to completing future projects together."

The rating is bogus as it is required to be able to submit.

"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.

"Awesome work ethic and attention to detail. Brandon took our vision of what we wanted our kitchen and new floors to look like and brought it to life. He was very thorough and made sure everything was exactly the way we wanted it. He gave us realistic expectations and was very honest about timeframe to completion of the job. His team were very clean and during the work process maintained a clean environment carefully getting up dust and demo materials before leaving the job. He was also very respectful of our dog who lives in our home while his team worked. I highly recommend his services to anyone looking for remodeling and restoration of the home. We look forward to hiring Brandon and his team for future projects at our home."

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

When hanging a door frame, it’s recommended that you use screws, not nails. Screws are more secure, easier to tighten, and easier to remove if you need to adjust the frame. On average, the cost to replace a door frame is about $400, but you can save on labor costs if you’re confident in your ability to DIY the project. 

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. 

Learning how to frame a house includes picking the right lumber for the job. Most people will want to pick pine, spruce, or fir for the framing. These types of lumber are affordable and produce sturdy framing for structures. Look for kiln-dried lumber to reduce the risk of shrinkage or insect damage after installation. As part of what’s included in framing a house when you hire a professional, the contractor should order the lumber, so you don’t have to worry about finding the right lumber.

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.

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.
