"We called Amethyst in June 2014 with the our my project the first for 2015 and suggested that we call back at the end of July or beginning of August. We called back and made arrangements to meet so she could see the space. Within about a month of the meeting, Kristi provided an intial plan for the room. We worked together over the next few months to find the right solution for the space. In October, Kristi brought out a team of carpenters, electricians, etc. to put together an estimate of the cost of the work. The estimate was within the range of what I expected and we decided to go forward in the spring.      We made some additional changes to plans over the winter and finalized the plan for the architectural review board in mid-April.    Construction started at the end of April.    The demolition and rough carpentry was high quality and done ahead of schedule.    Things slowed down with with the dry wall contractor and that put everything behind because the carpenters as well as the other subcontractors were now well into construction season and very busy and it seemed like there were lots of days when no one was on the job.   The work was substantially done by the end of June in about the time frame projected and we are very happy with the room.   All of the contractors did quality work.
 
There were a few glitches along the way:  
1.  The entrance to the room from the outside involved steps because the room was brought to the level of the rest of the house.  Initially, the carpenters built wooden steps.   However, the building inspector indicated that the steps did not meet code because a landing is required for safety.   The carpenters built a landing larger than the required size because of the configuration of the area/   The landing was ugly and covered up a bed that we use for planting.   We indicated to Kristi that the solution was unacceptable and she suggested building a deck that covered the whole area.    We asked her to draw it and price it and it was more than $5,000.  We then worked together to find something more reasonably priced, but attractive.  We are very happy with the final solution, which added about $1,000 to the cost.   However, we were unhappy because the original plan was not up to code, an unacceptable solution was decided between the architect and the carpenter and built without any input from us, and that this was a code issue that could have been foreseen and took a lot of time to resolve.
2.  The french doors to the house from the room did not have a good locking system.   The plans called for a new lock, but that was never priced into the contract.   It turned out that due the type of door, the lock itself was going to be very expensive.    The doors were old and warped and this seemed like too much to spend on the old doors.     I asked Kristi to find out how much new doors would cost pre-finished and was told about $1,200.    We talked about wood types and I asked them to price out maple with some kind of textured glass.   After checking, we were told that we could get an Oak Door for $1,200 and that frosted glass would cost about $200 more, but the maple and the glass would add another $1,400.  The final price of the door  installed once it was finally bid was over $2,000.    In the end, we decided to replace the doors with regular glass.   The doors were ordered at the end of July  and were installed in September.   We are happy with the new doors, but would have preferred to have a realistic price up front rather than a guess a that turned out to be way off and also the number of times we had to go back in forth to get a realistic number.
Kristi was very responsive throughout the process.   The room matches the architecture of the house and in the end is exactly what we wanted.    Construction projects always have glitches and cost overruns and we felt fortunate that that they were kept to a minimum and that Kristi took care of dealing directly with the subcontractors to resolve issues.    We would consider using her again for a project should the need arise.

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Yes, you will need a jack for a rim joist replacement. To prevent sagging and facilitate the removal of load-bearing wood, you’ll need to relieve the pressure from this joint before beginning work. 

Due to hydraulics and other specialized equipment, a sill plate and rim joist replacement are not typically a DIY project. Hiring a professional structural engineer and experienced contractors is the best approach to replacing rotted sill plates and rim joists.

No rules state how much of a load-bearing wall can be removed. Rather, you need to adequately support any area that is removed. Support should always be added to as much wall area is being removed. Failing to support the area properly will result in structural damage.

Using a steel frame may raise the value of your home. Steel is more heat resistant, has better longevity, and doesn’t need any upkeep compared to traditional wood. You can also customize a steel build a little easier than other materials like brick, concrete, and vinyl—which have trouble bending and adapting to renovations.

Yes, ceiling joists are typically load-bearing. However, their primary function is to support the weight of the ceiling and loads applied to it, like lighting fixtures and ceiling fans. They can also help support the roof, especially if they’re part of truss systems. Remember, the load-bearing capacity of ceiling joists depends on the material, size, and space between them. 

Enhances property value, ensures safety, and provides a sound basis for future construction.
