AE Carpentry.

This is a small operation. The state puts the crew at one to three people, and the owner works on the jobs directly, so the person who bids the work is likely the one doing it. That suits residential carpentry and framing: a deck rebuild, a wall moved during a remodel, trim and doors, a basement being framed out. A large commercial build calls for a bigger outfit with more crew and more trades under one roof, and that isn't what AE Carpentry is set up for. Before comparing carpentry bids in Spokane Valley or Spokane, write the job down in enough detail that every contractor is pricing the same thing. Note the rooms or areas involved, what is being framed, replaced or built new, and who supplies materials like lumber, trim and hardware. Say whether demolition and haul-away are included, and whether drywall, paint or electrical work after framing is part of the job or left to others. Ask whether the city or county will need a permit and who pulls it. With that sheet in hand, a quote from a small crew and one from a larger firm can be compared line by line instead of by the bottom number alone.
