"My husband and I bought a house a year ago and knew the deck would need to be replaced. After comparing several quotes HR by far came in with the most reasonable number. They were very responsive and updated us throughout the entire removal and build. We are just so impressed by how quickly the work was done and the quality and time they put into it. I really cannot say enough about this company. Hands down the best."

"Bledar and his team repaired our laundry room after some water damage. They did a wonderful job. They did the work in the time frame quoted and for a reasonable price. They were professional, kind, and went above and beyond. We will definitely use them again the future!"

"This is the second big project we've done with REO Service Pro. They finished our basement a few years ago. Both projects were done with quality and professionalism. Gary is very easy to work with. He listens and offers suggestions when needed or appropriate. I also used an interior designer with whom he worked with ease. We had an aggressive time frame for this project and it was met. Our two favorite things about working with Gary and his crew are 1) their quickness in responsiveness and 2) quality control. On multiple occasions I witnessed Gary instructing a crew member to "rip it out and start all over". In our experience with house projects, that is a rarity. Most contractors are okay with mediocre work to save time and effort. As a result, the end product was great. In terms of cost, they may not be your cheapest bid but they won't be your most expensive either. The investment is worth it. I highly recommend REO Service Pro."

"The crew from A&H contracting did an exceptional job. Their work was professional. They showed up on time as discussed, and tarped/covered up items in the room. The mess from the demo was contained, cleaned up, and hauled away. Angel explained to me what they would be doing, and Ronald wrapped up and cleaned up."

"Great job! They did the work they promised on schedule at the agreed upon price. We have some bay windows that were original construction and the floor was not insulated. They put in insulation and proper soffit. Looks great! And for the first time in 7 seven years, our house main floor is not cold this winter! I have other projects that I will have them do as well!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Framing with metal studs can be significantly faster than using wooden studs, provided you have some experience working with the material. While you can use virtually instant pneumatic nailers with wood, metal requires installing screws. However, because metal is lighter, straighter, usually comes cut-to-length, and doesn't require sorting for the best pieces, you can save significant time using metal instead of wood.

For a professional carpenter, installing a window seat can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days, depending on some aspects of the project. Aside from building the seat itself, if they have to remove any cabinets, shelves, or baseboards, that will add time to the project.

Framing a house with steel generally takes less time—around five to eight weeks—than most building materials. The steel components can also be made quickly off-site and manufactured with pre-punched holes for running piping and electrical wiring, which will lessen the prep work and extra labor during construction.

While some highly experienced homeowners can frame a house independently, it is not advisable. You will need ample carpentry experience, a team of helpers, and professionals to sign off on your work to meet local building codes. For the safest outcome, we recommend buying or building a house with the guidance of professionals.

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.
