"I CONTACTED FREDRICK KLEIN, THE OWNER OF KLEIN AND SONS CONSTRUCTION- THROUGH A REFERRAL. A FRIEND OF THE FAMILY RECOMMENDED HIM. I TOLD MR. KLEIN, THAT I HAD WANTED TO REPLACE WINDOWS IN MY 90+ YEAR OLD HOME- FOR MANY YEARS, AND HAD FINALLY DECIDED WHAT TYPE OF WINDOW I WANTED. I ASKED HIM TO COME OUT, AND TAKE A LOOK AT WHAT IT WOULD ENTAIL. THE HOME HAD HAD PREVIOUS WATER DAMAGE ISSUES, AND I THOUGHT THAT SOME OF THE REASON FOR THAT- WAS THE BADLY DETERIORATED CONDITION OF THE EXISTING WOODEN WINDOWS. MR. KLEIN CAME OUT, INSPECTED EACH ROOM, AND AGREED. HE WAS EASY GOING. WHEN ASKED QUESTIONS (AND I ASKED A LOT OF QUESTIONS), HE WAS TO THE POINT WITH EVERY ANSWER. HE WAS VERY PROFESSIONAL AND RESPECTFUL. I HAD TALKED TO SEVERAL COMPANIES, PRIOR TO SPEAKING WITH MR. KLEIN- AND HAD GOTTEN ROUGH ESTIMATES FOR THIS WINDOW REPLACEMENT JOB. I WAS REPLACING 20+ WINDOWS- AND EACH COMPANY THAT I SPOKE WITH- GAVE VERY HIGH ESTIMATES FOR BOTH THE WINDOWS AND THE LABOR COSTS. KLEIN AND SONS CONSTRUCTION DID NOT. MR. KLEIN BROKE DOWN THE COST OF MATERIALS, LABOR AND NOTED OTHER ISSUES THAT WE MAY HAVE TO DEAL WITH, IN HIS BID FOR SERVICE. THE AMOUNT HE LISTED, FOR THE COST OF THE WINDOWS (LOW E- ARGON GAS FILLED) WAS VERY COMPETITIVE. HIS LABOR COSTS WERE MUCH MORE AFFORDABLE THAN HIS COMPETITION. BECAUSE OF HIS 'NO NONSENSE' DEMEANOR- AND HIS MANY YEARS OF EXPERIENCE, I IMMEDIATELY HIRED HIM! I WAS NOT DISAPPOINTED. HIS CREW WAS DILIGENT IN GETTING THE JOB DONE. THEY KNEW WHAT TO DO- AND DID THEIR JOB WELL. EVERYONE THAT I CAME INTO CONTACT WITH- WAS RESPECTFUL AND HARD WORKING. THE ONLY ISSUES THAT IMPACTED THIS JOB NEGATIVELY- WERE NOT THE FAULT OF KLEIN AND SONS CONSTRUCTION. THERE WAS SPORATIC RAIN, THROUGHOUT THE JOB- THAT DELAYED THE INSTALLATION OF A FEW WINDOWS. THAT WAS TO BE EXPECTED, BECAUSE WE ARE IN AN AREA THAT REGULARLY DEALS WITH THAT ISSUE. THE OTHER ISSUE, INVOLVED THE WINDOW DISTRIBUTOR, THAT THIS COMPANY WAS USING. THE WINDOW COMPANY, TWICE, SHIPPED THE WRONG SIZED WINDOWS. MR. KLEIN DEALT WITH THE PROBLEM PROFESSIONALLY- AND SWIFTLY. HE APOLOGIZED MANY TIMES FOR THE INCONVENIENCE AND DELAY THAT THIS CAUSED. THE JOB ACTUALLY TOOK VERY LITTLE TIME, I FELT- SO THIS WAS NEVER AN ISSUE FOR ME. I RESPECTED THE FACT THAT HE TOOK FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE ISSUE- EVEN THOUGH WE BOTH KNEW IT WAS NOT HIS FAULT. (NOTE: HE NOW USES A DIFFERENT WINDOW DISTRIBUTOR). ON A SPECIAL NOTE- ONE OF THE WINDOWS THAT I HAD REPLACED, NEEDED SPECIAL FRAMING DONE, ON THE INSIDE OF THE HOME. HIS SON DID THE HANDY WORK- AND IT LOOKED INCREDIBLE. I WAS VERY PLEASED! I EXPECT, IN THE NEAR FUTURE, I WILL BE HIRING KLEIN AND SONS CONSTRUCTION, TO DO OTHER WORK WITHIN MY HOME. BECAUSE- WHEN YOU FIND A CONTRACTOR THAT DOES WHAT IT SAYS- HAS THIS DEGREE OF PROFESSIONALISM- AND GIVE AN HONEST PRICE....YOU STICK WITH THEM!!"
"They were professional, arrived and performed the work as promised. Didn't rush away, tweaked areas that needed tweaking. Would definitely recommend. "
"We cannot recommend Dream Baths and Charlie Thornton highly enough! We had a bathroom that had been all but non-functional for seven years because of a water issue. We needed a complete remodel. Before we talked to Charlie, the estimates we received from three other contractors were astronomical. We were so discouraged. Charlie's team did fantastic work within a budget that we could afford. We now have a beautiful bathroom. It is everything we wanted. The team, primarily Charlie, Jr. and Josh, was punctual and so polite. They worked very hard to finish in a timely manner and always cleaned up after themselves. The quality of the work is excellent. We would definitely use Dream Baths again. If you are losing hope that you can afford to redo your bathroom, call Charlie! "
"When we decided to redo our kitchen in April of 2012, we knew what we wanted fixed, our budget and that's about it. We started talking to contractors, kitchen design centers and researching ideas. We quickly realized we were in WAY over our heads. A lot of places offer free design services if you buy all of your materials through them. We didn't want to be tied down. We didn't want a complete tear down to the studs, either. Homemade Design to the rescue! First of all the price was an absolute steal for the service provided. Amanda and co. Listened to what we wanted and came up with inovative,functional and beautiful solutions. Our house is old. We wanted to keep that 1920s feel, but still have a dishwasher, granite countertops and stainless appliances! Amanda had the brilliant idea of only replacing the bottom cabinets. She also gave me excellent instructions on how to refinish my existing cabinets so they look like new. This was a perfect solution for US. Homemade Design gave us ideas for layout, cabinets, lighting, wall paint, appliances, furniture, countertops, backsplash, faucets, sink,and cusions for built in. She would have recommended flooring if we wanted,but we didn't. Now, Amanda is more like a consultant...( I actually called her my kitchen remodel therapist). You still are ultimately responsible for the plan and what works for you. If your measurements are off (like mine were) that's on you. I was adament about no island and no microwave over the stove and so she didn't put those in the design. Some suggestions were not my style. And I said so. Honestly, if I picked out my own kitchen it would be so safe: white subway tile or something. Amanda gave me the guts to mix patterns and create something spectacular! It took almost a year to complete ( contractors fault) We did a lot of work ourselves. We bought the cabinets, backsplash tile, light fixtures, table and banquette cusions through Homemade Design at a great discount, we checked!! If you try shopping for any part of your kitchen, the volume of choices can be overwhelming. We loved having Amanda narrow it down for us. Communication was through email, mostly. She never took longer than three business days to respond to my million questions or concerns. Awesome. 5 months later, my kitchen is a dream come true. And I owe it all to Homemade Design! "
"When you purchase this service you are asked to send pictures of the room, and a layout drawing with the dimensions in inches. I sent pictures from every angle in the room. My layout drawing was rough, but I made sure that the dimensions were correct. It is important to show doors, and width from door to wall, windows and spaces between window and wall, etc.
Explain how you invision the room and what you would like to keep in the room. You should let her know what you like and dislike as far as fabrics, colors, and style of furniture. I hate paisley, but failed to include this in the information that I sent to the designer. So there was some paisley in my concept board. I told her what I liked, but failed to tell her what I disliked and would not want to see in the room.
Once I sent pictures, dimensions, and room layout I received 2 suggested layouts for the room from Jill. I selected the layout that I preferred. You they receive a concept board for the room with her suggested furnishings and fabrics. To my surprise she also gives alternatives to what she suggests. Her suggestions are in various price ranges so that you can choose within your budget.

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts
Accurate measurements, sturdy materials, and seamless integration with other structures.
When choosing a drywall anchor, consider the weight of the object you're hanging and how much weight the anchor will need to support. The heavier the weight, the stronger the anchor you'll need. You’ll find the weight capacity on the packaging when shopping for anchors.
Also, remember that you can use more than one anchor when hanging something on the wall. If you're using multiple anchors, divide the object weight by the number of anchors to determine how much each will need to support. If you need help deciding which drywall anchor to use, you can hire a handyperson to hang your objects.

A cross brace for a fence gate should stretch from the top corner of the gate’s hinge side to the bottom corner of its latch side at a 45-degree angle to the bottom of the gate. This positioning distributes the bulk of the gate’s weight to the base of the post, taking pressure off the top hinge.
