"Jim and his crew, including the sub-contractors, did an amazing job on our project to finish off some of our basement. We added a bathroom, bedroom, and family room. The quote was thorough and accurate. The communication was responsive. The workmanship was second to none. I highly recommend working with Jim. You won't be disappointed."

Customers say: Quality work

"Ryan gave me a quote AND he COMMITTED TO A DATE & TIME over the phone. I asked him to text me at work so I could come home, and be there when he started the work, which he did. HE WAS THERE ON TIME and finished the work in the quoted time. I have added him to my FAVORITES and will use him again. If you are looking for someone dependable, that values YOUR time as much as he does his time, you might want to give Ryan a call."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Accurate measurements, sturdy materials, and seamless integration with other structures.

Framing is the shell of the house. It includes several steps, including studs, plumbing, and electricity. A professional will ensure the wall frame is secured for the house’s structural integrity. 

Framing prices change depending on the material and whether the wall is load-bearing. Most contractors use wood to frame a home, but metal is another popular choice.

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.

Building involves setting foundation posts, framing with durable wood, adding roofing support, and protecting from elements with water-resistant finishes.

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.
