"This is a outstanding contractor. I have already recommend him to friends and neighbors. I know if he does not immediately return my call, he is on a job and will get back to me usually within an hour. Andy is very honest, if he cannot handle something he will be very upfront and can usually refer me to someone who can. He is always respectful of my property while doing projects, even returned items to a cupboard he had repaired. Andy always cleans up after he is finished even if he is returning the next day. We have developed a professional and personal relationship where I used him for projects I had for properties associated with my job. I highly recommend Andy as he is an extraordinary pro."

"I hired Andy and First West Construction in January 2020 to fix a poor start to a complete basement renovation by a previous contractor. I pointed out everything wrong that I knew and Andy and his main carpenter, Julio, found many more things wrong. We listed them all and Andy quoted me a very fair price to finish the entire project within five weeks which included concrete floor leveling, fixing wood framing, insulation, drywall, painting, trim, cabinet installation and flooring installation. The schedule of workers was Monday through Friday 9-5 but that didn't always happen. Sometimes they needed their workers on their other projects but also waiting for subcontractors caused slight delays. The project took about 11 weeks in all. I appreciated all the advice Andy and Julio provided. They are very professional and adaptable. They want the customer to be happy and pleased with the work and that causes less stress. They won't charge you extra for every little thing. They bought most supplies and I reimbursed them. Twice I generated long lists of little items that needed to be resolved with the project and they got them done within days. It wasn't great that a pile of the project's garbage was left outside our back door for a month; they didn't have a place to dump it, I guess. It was a small price to pay for a great finished product...a beautiful finished basement. Rodrigo, Douglas, Juan and their other workers were courteous, professional and usually highly skilled. I highly recommend this company for a home remodel, renovation or construction. Their work is very high quality."

"He was on time and very friendly. I am very pleased with the results."
Load-bearing walls support the weight of your home's structure, including floors, roofs, and other building components. Non-load-bearing walls, on the other hand, serve only as partitions or room dividers. All exterior walls are typically load-bearing, even if they have design features like bump-outs or large glass panels. These walls need precise construction to ensure your home's structural integrity.
Removing a wall costs anywhere from $300 to $10,000 , depending on the size and whether it's load-bearing. Removing load-bearing walls is a more labor-intensive process and typically costs more. To get an accurate estimate for your project, consult a local contractor with the specifics of your wall.
Yes, there are other projects you can tackle at the same time when building a wall. Upgrading to energy-efficient windows or doors can enhance your home’s sustainability and can be integrated into the wall construction process. You might also consider removing existing walls to create an open-concept layout or building a home addition for extra space. Coordinating multiple projects can be cost-effective and streamline your renovation timeline. Discuss your goals with a contractor to help you plan effectively and maximize the benefits of your renovation.
The cost to build a partition wall varies depending on the size and type you choose. Half walls that don't reach the ceiling cost about $10 to $20 per linear foot . Full partition walls made with drywall may cost more due to additional materials and labor. Prices for accordion or panel walls vary widely based on materials and design. Factors like electrical work, insulation, and finishes will also influence your total cost.
Framing is the backbone of wall construction, creating a secure structure that supports everything else. Quality framing ensures that studs, electrical wiring, and plumbing are properly integrated into your home's design. A professional installer uses reliable materials like wood or metal to build a framework that meets building codes and ensures your wall is durable and safe.
