"I thought I'd provide a 6-month update on the work performed by Coen. In short, we selected them to do some minor renovations to the bedroom and living room - ceiling repair and electrical work - and then paint the entire interior of the unit. It was horrible. We settled a reduced fee and went our separate ways. Since then, we've had to remove the work they did and repaint the entire hallway, bathroom, and kitchen due to paint peeling. Based on the prior experience and having visited during the renovation, they didn't prep a single thing - the walls definitely needed that even prior to other work starting. The new contractors very clearly were able to show how the surfaces weren't prepared at all for paint related to dust under all of the layers from the drywall and other construction work they did. Not a single apology or visit from the owners to date. Don't waste your time, money, or effort on this company whatsoever."

Marco Polo Home Builder has been building homes & doing renovations all over Massachusetts with a great combination of skills-building knowledge, craftsmanship, and professional project management. Over the years, we understood that construction is about wood, bricks, and family. We take our job thoughtfully because we know that a home is the most sanctified place for a person. We value our clients' needs and work with our crew and subcontractors to prioritize them. We aim to make your dream project a reality and hope to be on this journey with you.
"In addition to the kitchen, they also remodeled our bathroom. Marco was sensitive to the fact that we only had one bathroom and made sure we were out the facilities for the minimum time possible. Our bathroom remodel was completed with lightning speed which we really appreciated! The kitchen remodel was also speedy. They worked with our requirements for smaller than usual appliances, finding, and even building, cabinets to fit our small kitchen space. Everyone who worked on our projects were very professional, wearing masks and keeping windows open even in the winter months. We're very happy with our new kitchen and bathroom!"

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.
