"I really value working with these professionals. A testament of our great working relationship are the number of JMG projects finished over the last five years. I am always glad to start a new project with them and know that every aspect will be handled with care, consideration and respect for me and the property. I highly recommend them without any reservations."

"Once I sent her all the measurements, it took her a little while to get the options back to me. Overall, they're good designs. However, they're very simplistic and give general ideas for space planning. I was hoping to have a better idea for sizes of furniture for the space and some variations on staging. Jill was very responsive when I did have a question. I'm not sure how helpful it is to have a virtual design done. If we lived in similar cities, I'd probably use her again for help with additional designs. "
"The entire experience was so positive. Jesse wasnâ t just someone we hired for a custom project, he (and his family) became friends throughout the process. He is an outstanding carpenter, but an even better person. Laid back with a good sense of humor, he helped guide us through the design process, listening to our ideas, brainstorming with us and offering suggestions on what might be better materials, more realistic options and the best ways to utilize our space to achieve our desired goals. We now have a beautiful statement piece in our home - and it feels like we built it â togetherâ . His attention to detail is second to none and we wouldnâ t hesitate to hire him for another custom project in the future."

When building a house, it is customary to use 16d nails that measure 3 1/2 inches in length to construct the frame. These nails are crucial in providing the necessary support and stability for structural elements like joists and studs, which ensures a sturdy framework.
The average cost of DIY window framing is about $40 to $60 in materials. If you hire a window treatment professional, you’ll pay for materials plus labor costs—anywhere from $250 to $800 per window.
