"Harmon & Harmon is our go to contractor. Dennis Harmon is ALWAYS responsive and happy to get the job done. When no other foundation contractor would take the job, H&H gladly accepted and knock it out with stellar work. Highly recommended! What was originally a foundation job turned into hiring them for other facets of our remodel. We now have a lasting relationship and several more jobs for them to do."
"Opportunity Construction and their sub-contractors performed a wide range of services during the remodel of our 1940 Craftsman Cottage here in West Olympia. Yard fence replacement (now beautiful stained cedar); demo, removal, and replacement of carport concrete pad, with conversion to covered patio; windows and exterior door replacements; exterior structural repairs; new Hardie Plank lap siding; demo of former garage pad, followed by construction of a new two-car garage and concrete driveway; and, complete repaint of both structures - superb outcome! Great staff and company owner, Dean a great and fair guy to work with!"
"Great work, which a retired major contractor (who built skyscrapers) verified the they knew what they were doing . Am using them again to redo kitchen"
"Bedrock Construction created a high end resort/spa style bathroom in our home. Ben and Jake worked diligently six and seven days a week to get the job completed. They would work flexible hours and days to accommodate our needs. The best contractor experience we have ever experienced."

"Yes! Eduardo and his son did a great job and I highly recommend them to anyone. There’s a lot of contractors who reached out about this project but what I really liked and one of the reason why I hired them because when Eduardo came out to look at the projects he listened and and then he shared with me his thoughts, unlike the others who just insisted this and that and I even almost kicked one out of the house already. After all, we the homeowners are the customers . Anyways, there’s more projects ahead of us and I definitely don’t mind having them to come out for estimate. We showed photos to friends and families and they all loved it."

Hi, my name is Ryan Babbit. I've been in the construction industry since 2003. I've spent my time learning carpentry, roofing, and tile setting. Each trade I have gone through an extensive apprenticeship followed with years of experience in the field. My employees and I go to seminars and meetings to stay on top of this quickly developing industry so that we can make an educated analysis of every job we encounter. \n\nI am a licensed general contractor and have worked on several complete inside and out remodels. My goal is to quickly perform every job professionally as possible, if I encounter a problem that i cannot professionally guarantee, then I hire a subcontractor instead of performing services I am unfamiliar with. I stand behind all of my work with a free 10 year warranty on all labor and materials. Thank you for taking the time to check out my profile and please contact me any time.
"Patrick was very professional and did a great job replacing our subfloor and siding of the house. He is reliable, honest and operates with integrity. He explains everything so clearly and gives suggestions on what products to use with reasoning. For example, Patrick suggested a particular siding that is built to last. His rates are competitive and fair, also giving the option for financing for those who need it I would recommend Patrick to anyone who is looking for a contractor."
Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts
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.
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.
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.
Removing a load-bearing wall affects the structural integrity of your home, so you’ll need a permit before starting the work. Building codes vary by municipality, and obtaining a permit and having the work inspected after completion will ensure you’re in compliance with all applicable regulations.
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.
