"We hired them to install and replace a vapor barrier. It was raining at the time of the installation and they noted that there was water leaking into the foundation. They said in order to fix the issue they would need to install and French drain and sump pump. I called out another contractor to give us a quote for a French drain and sump pump and learned that in order to install that system they would need to remove and replace the vapor barrier. So I reached out to Torres Brothers to ask for some compensation, because I am convinced they knew they should not have installed the barrier knowing water was actively leaking into the foundation during the installation. They said they couldn't offer me any refund besides a discount on the French drain and sump pump if we chose to use them. I'm very disappointed and upset that I wasted $2k for something that was not even a week old and they wouldn't offer me any compensation besides a discount."

"We had Closet Factory in Centennial, Colorado, design and install and expanded pantry and mud room on one side of our laundry room. Leslie Klinck, our designer, did an amazing job! Her expertise and skills were obvious at every step in the design process. The two installers, Agustin Montoya and Ricardo Rodriguez, are highly seasoned professionals who bent over backwards to make a few needed adjustments in the midst of the installation. Everyone at Closet Factory was a pleasure to work with. Closet Factory also did three walk-in closets for us when we moved in last year. Again, superb design work and flawless installations. My wife and I give Closet Factory the highest possible rating and recommendation. They earned them!"

Your general contractor should be able to refer you to a local framing contractor. An established relationship can lead to lower rates and better work. Interview contractors, trust your instincts, and choose a professional who's right for the job. Ensure you have a clear contract detailing the framing project.
Framing a house typically takes 5 to 8 weeks. Factors affecting this timeline include weather conditions, material shipment delays, crew size, and construction material weight. These elements impact the framing process, excluding external processes like permits or foundation work.
Framing costs are determined by multiplying your total square footage by a cost range of $7 to $16 per square foot. This calculation gives you a precise figure for the framing expenses. For projects that employ high‐end materials or custom designs, add an additional 5% to your total budget to account for premium work. This method provides a clear, accurate estimate for the overall framing project.
The framing cost covers labor and materials required to install wood, steel, or prefabricated frames that form your home’s structural skeleton. It includes building openings for windows, doors, and entryways. However, expenses for drywall installation, insulation, electrical systems, and finishing details are not included in these costs and must be estimated separately.
House framing is expensive because it requires high-quality materials and specialized labor to construct a durable and safe structural framework. The precision demanded during installation and the use of premium components drive up the costs significantly. Additionally, complex designs that necessitate extra detailing and reinforcement further increase the overall expense of framing.
