"Steppy and Terry are fantastic to work with! They are creative, thorough and dedicated. And, they bring enthusiasm to all aspects of the job and work collaboratively throughout. I was left in the lurch at the beginning of December by a prior contractor who bailed on my project due to "bad weather" (someone not from Vermont). I was left with a house open to the elements, only partially covered, and with water leaking in. And I was also left in a situation where there was no hope of continuing inside work during the winter as the inside building space was full of water from rain and snow melt. Steppy and Terry came onboard and immediately set to work prioritzing updates to seal in the building and insulate as quickly as possible. They put in place a fully dried-in roof for the winter, stabilized a loose front wall, and then set to work installing doors and polycarbonate windows in both front walls of my passive solar building (an Earthship). We're now at the point where we can choose next targets -- and we can successfully work through projects throughout the winter. I couldn't be happier -- and more relieved!! I highly recommend working with them for new projects, ongoing projects, as well as emergency fixes."

Woodworking questions, answered by experts
Rather than using a common two-by-four piece of wood for a rafter, you probably will use two-by-six, two-by-eight, two-by-ten, or even two-by-twelve boards. Wider lumber is typically a better choice in a larger building as it provides more sturdiness. Some installers may use wider lumber for rafters near the edges of the roof, where the greatest stress occurs, and save money with narrower lumber toward the middle.
Hiring a woodworker can be expensive, depending on the job, but it’s very often well worth the investment. Woodworkers are able to provide custom pieces of furniture and handmade construction to present a finished product that is exactly to your specifications. If you have a specific vision for a one-of-a-kind piece of furniture or home feature, the cost of hiring a professional woodworker is worthwhile. Plus, you’ll often get a higher quality product than what you could buy in stores for a fraction of the price.
Yes, home builders need to be licensed in every state and municipality in the country. The specific license required varies based on the location and the work, but most states require that the builder hold a general contractor’s license at minimum. Some states and cities also require that plumbing, electrical, roofing, and sewage system construction require individual licenses, in which case the builder may subcontract the work. You can use Angi’s contractor licensing tool to confirm that the builder you’re considering holds all the proper licenses.
The costs depend on the type of wood, labor, roofing material, permits, and whether additional storage or enclosed walls are included.
There's no simple answer to which is less costly: wood or metal-framed homes. In most cases, metal building components cost more than wooden ones, while entire metal buildings cost less than wooden versions. However, regardless of the exterior framing or structure, each must meet similar building codes. This means that the costs are about the same, even considering that wood will require more maintenance than metal over time.
