"These guys got the work done in a single long day, which was impressive. It was well done and the owner was very responsive. Really appreciated having a pro for playground equipment install that was a Class A contractor with all the insurance and licenses I was looking for."

"It was clear and evident that Fred was experienced and knowledgable when he came to my home to discuss what I wanted and gave me a reasonable estimate. Upon signing a contract, Justin and Mike were tasked with the build out. They were on site at the times they said they would be, extremely personable and educated within their field of work. They were also extremely hospitable in allowing me to watch them show their expertise as a learning experience. I would most certainly hire Fred and his crew again and highly recommend!"

"Amazing! Dickens is the ultimate professional and craftsman. He was great in communicating the details of the job, gave a reasonable time-line (he completed even sooner by a day), was reasonably priced, took into account my taste and gave excellent suggestions. As for his work, it was impeccable. He built a beautiful brick wall surrounding and above my fireplace and added an oak mantle. It was even better than I expected or imagined. I will be hiring again to paint and perform complete other projects."

"They remodeled a portion of my deck so I could have a place to sit in the warmer weather to enjoy my dinner. They were able to finish it in a day and it looks absolutely wonderful. It all came together after the table and chairs and hanging lights were added. 10/10 would recommend!"

"Phenomenal! I had some idea of what we needed in painting and remodeling for part of our project, and then I had NO idea for the rest... I found a partner to help define it fully in Construction Systems of Virginia. Normally I do not leave reviews, but this company gave us exactly what we needed in the timeline we needed it. I wish I'd known about them sooner - would have saved me time looking for the right provider. They are Responsive, Professional, Precise in their work, Flexible in accommodating our schedule and changes we made throughout the project, and they provide World-Class Customer Service. Thank You to our incredible crew ~ you made our home beautiful!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Bump-out additions can extend anywhere from 2 to 15 feet from an existing room. The right size will depend on how you plan to use the new space. For a cantilever bump-out, which doesn't require additional foundation support, the limit is typically 24 inches (2 feet). If a footing and foundation are part of the project, a bump-out can be much larger, even encompassing a whole room. It's also important to remember that many residential properties have limits on the total house size relative to the lot size.

You can choose 5/8-inch plywood or 3/4-inch plywood—anything thinner than these sizes may not withstand the impact of debris propelled by strong winds or can be easily torn off by intruders. Remember that the durability of the wood board is crucial, particularly for safeguarding your windows during severe storms. The effectiveness of using wood boards for protecting the investment you made in your home relies on using the appropriate material and ensuring proper installation.

Baseboards don’t have to be nailed into studs. However, nailing them into studs adds to their stability. When studs aren’t available, you can secure them with drywall nails directly into the drywall and adhesive. Always aim to nail into studs, especially in high-traffic or impact-prone areas.

There are a few easy ways to locate a wall stud without a stud finder. First, try knocking on the wall with your knuckles. Most parts of the wall will sound hollow, but when you tap over a stud, it will sound more solid. Alternatively, since studs are spaced 16 or 24 inches apart, you can measure those distances from a corner of the room, which will always have a stud.

Framing a basement takes three to five days, on average, when completed by a professional, though it may take longer for a larger space. Keep in mind this doesn’t include the time to complete the design, obtain permits, and install the drywall on the framing. On average, fully finishing a basement takes an average of 45 days.
