"The brothers worked hard to make my home beautiful. They replaced all the rotten wood under the old siding. They put in insulation that was missing around all the windows, making my house more weather tight. When a window that had simply been covered up previously was found, they put in wood and insulation. Then they replaced all of the siding with durable Hardyboard and painted in the 3 color palette I chose to complement my Craftsman cottage. Then they replaced all the gutters with new covered ones that can be cleaned easily when needed. Finally, they reroofed the shed and painted it to match. They installed new lights and anything else I asked for. Everything around the house was left clean and orderly. The work is meticulous and thorough. My house hasn't looked this good ever before, probably even when it was just built. It's better than brand new! I will gladly work with them again on any future building projects."

Customers say: True professional

"Dave and Kevin helped out with a small window project that seemingly no other company would do except for at an incredibly high price. They transformed our kitchen's small solarium-like windows into a set of three standard single hung windows. This required demo, framing, roofing, and finishing touches. A project is never without a few hiccups, but both Dave and Kevin helped us understand the issues and asked for our input throughout. I also appreciated their willingness to reverse a decision we made a day prior. On-site storage of their tools/materials and cleanup were also a plus. They are a friendly group to work with, and we anticipate reaching out to them again for more projects."

"The team of brothers came right on time, listened intently during the walk through for design and executed the fence build in a single day. Granted I had already sunk the posts in their locations, but the guys were fast, efficient and built a beautiful fence."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can find ceiling joists using simple tools if a stud finder isn't available.

Using a hammer requires patience and a keen ear. Gently tap the ceiling in a grid pattern, listening for sound changes. A hollow sound indicates space between joists, while a solid, dull thud suggests a joist. Mark the location with a pencil and confirm by tapping from different angles.

Alternatively, you can use a nail, but this method will leave small holes. You'll feel increased resistance when the nail hits a joist. Mark the spot and repeat the process every 16 or 24 inches to map the joist locations. This method is considered less reliable than using a stud finder.

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.

Costs depend on desk size, labor, included features like drawers or motorized height adjustments, and required wall anchoring.

Yes, professional installations include reinforced corner posts to ensure durability.

While framing a basement is not as difficult as finishing a basement, it's something you should typically leave to the pros. That’s because if something is installed correctly, it will affect your entire basement. However, you can take care of some of the smaller tasks, like filling holes or putting up some insulation.
