"There are not enough good words to say about Nick, High Quality Contracting's owner. His professionalism, open communication, courteousness, and knowledge far exceeded my expectations. Nick completed my huge home project in a very timely manner and hired only the highest quality professionals — building architect, electrician, HVAC professional, plumber, etc. Nick kept me updated during the construction/remodel regarding the workers coming into my home and set the expectations; he was always conscience of the cost and helped save money by giving excellent alternatives with every purchase. Nick is very easy to work and his vast knowledge allowed him to provide excellent and trustworthy recommendations. My home is absolutely beautiful, I am thrilled with the results! Nick did such a tremendous job three of my friends hired him to complete work in their home. The name of Nick's company High Quality Contracting says it all. He truly has Craftsmanship You Can Trust.

"Project went great. We've hired MH for four jobs, ranging from $1,.200 to $36K over the past year, the most recent big job being the addition of a 3-season room, which looks great. Looking forward to some season other than hot and humid now. Our price went up from last year's estimate as building supply costs soared, but I believe their estimates are always reasonable. Couldn't be nicer or more reliable family to deal with, with attention to detail and quality finishing touches."

"We had a great experience working with Top Bros construction and remodeling. They fully removed our tile and wood flooring and installed LVP that we had provided. They also installed new trim and baseboards throughout, which look great. They were timely and efficient. We are very happy with the outcome!"

"Mike is great, he is handling many aspect of this major remodel. He is doing tile work, install cabinets, finish carpentry, and install new interior and exterior doors. Everything Mike has worked on had demonstrated his craftsmanship and attention to detail. Mike has kept me informed of all aspects of the project planning and budget. He has always keep me up to date on project progress, and by keeping me informed there has been no surprises. Mike has shown integrity in all of our interactions and how he conducts himself. Very professional and I will probably work with Mike again in the future."

"I hired Mike to build a bathroom in my basement. I was impressed with Mike's professionalism, we spoke daily and he kept me abreast of what was going and next steps with the project. Mike, his crew, and subcontractors were all highly skilled and they did an amazing job on my new bathroom. I plan to use Mike for future projects and I would highly recommend him."

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.

Balcony construction or replacement typically requires a building permit from your local permitting authority. Safety and building integrity are the main reasons for the need to obtain a permit and the subsequent inspections. In some cases, especially cantilevered balconies, your municipality may also require the oversight and signature of a structural engineer.

If you remove a load-bearing wall to create an entrance to a carport or covered patio, you can expect to pay between $3,200 and $9,500, with an average cost of $6,400. Factors such as the type of addition and if that area needs additional work will add to the price.

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.

It’s sometimes safe to replace a load-bearing wall with a beam, but you need a structural engineer to sign off on the project. You’ll also likely have to upgrade to a steel I-beam or another material that’s stronger than wood to maintain the level of support you need without the wall underneath.
