"Lewis was professional, courteous, friendly, and helpful. He answered any questions I had, suggested things that would prevent other problems, and helped me with other improvements I was working on. My phone calls were either answered or returned within the hour. Anything I pointed out was taken care of. Prep work began 3 days after our initial meeting and painting soon followed. All work was done by Lewis with some prep work and painting done by Buddy. I had other contractors working in my home, and Lewis and Buddy worked around them. I am very happy with the results and would definitely hire HCP again.

We wanted to remodel our newly purchased condo but didn't think we'd be able to afford all the projects we had in mind because of the limitations of our budget. A couple of local contractors in Gulf Shores had estimated a minimum cost of $40,000. We contacted Help-Around-the-House based on favorable Angie's List reviews and found that they more than live up to their great reputation. Dan Parks and his team worked closely with us from start to finish, not only helping us to stay within our budget but also coming up with ideas that were better than what we originally had in mind. All of the work was of high quality, yet it was done amazing fast.  We couldn't be more satisfied with the final result.  We definitely recommend Dan Parks and the Help-Around-the-House team to anyone who wants high quality work done at a fair price.

"This contractor was the most responsive as noted in the timeline below.
Unfortunately, while in the final stages of the bid comparison process, this contractor withdrew their bid citing they were awarded a large job out of town.  
As part of the bid comparison process I sent each contractor a list of questions and clarifications.  This contractor answered most of my questions but not all.  In fact there was but one contractor who responded to every question, which is the contractor I have selected to complete the replacement of my roof.  
Timeline
30 July 2015:  Late Thursday night I contacted the contractor and requested a quotation.  The contractor responded the same night nothing they would call me the next day in order to arrange a time to view the job.
31 July 2015:  On Friday, as promised, the contractor called and left me a voice message requesting a time to walk the job.  I returned the call around noon and we scheduled the visit for the following day - Saturday.
01 August 2015:  Two representatives from the company arrived at the predetermined time and immediately went to work walking the job down.  They were very friendly and seemed quite knowledgeable regarding the work to be done.  They answered all my questions and made several recommendations for ensuring I received a quality roof replacement and a couple of areas I would be able to save money on the job.  The quotation was prepared onsite and provided to me before they left the property.
02 August 2015:  I received a message from the contractor apologizing for failing to provide me with the discount offered all Angie's List members.  I was told to subtract the discount amount from my total.
  30 August 2015:  On this Sunday night after reviewing all of my proposals, and in an attempt to ensure all were apples-to-apples, I sent each contractor a list of questions regarding their quotations.  As previous, this contractor was very punctual and responded to several of my questions the same night.  However, I noticed responses to a couple of the important questions had been overlooked. (see notes at top of page)
01 September 2015:  I sent the contractor a follow up email noting a couple of the questions had been overlooked in the initial response and asked that a response be provided as soon as possible.
02 September 2015:  I received a message via Angie's List and a phone message stating they must withdraw their bid due to being awarded a job out of town.  They apologized and assured me I would be in good hands "with the other contractors."

"Brian and his crew were great! Not only did he communicate with us to make sure everyone stayed in the loop, the crew showed up when they said they'd be there, and did a fantastic job! Hands down one of the easiest and best contractors I've worked with for home projects. Recommend without hesitation."

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Most of the time, you’ll want to use screws on your subfloor rather than nails. Nails can actually weaken plywood, whereas screws can easily penetrate without damage. They also form a more secure connection because of their shape, preventing squeaky floors and tightly holding the subfloor in place. That said, some contractors do prefer nails depending on the type of floor covering because they allow for more flexibility.

There are approximately 5.33 board feet in a 2x4. You can use the board foot calculator in this article to easily find the answer. A 2x4 is 2 inches of thickness by 4 inches of width, so you need to find the length, with 8 feet being the most common. You’d use the calculator here to multiply 2 times 4 times 8, and then divide by 12, arriving at a total of 5.33 board feet. 

You can enclose an open carport, however, there are several things to consider before opting to do so. You'll want to check local building codes and permit requirements before proceeding to make sure it’s legal. While you can sometimes stick-frame a carport enclosure, pre-fab kits are also available. Remember that you'll likely need to meet concrete slab regulations and provide lighting inside the structure. Both of which could substantially drive up costs.

Framing a basement takes three to five days, on average, when completed by a professional, though it may take longer for a larger space. Keep in mind this doesn’t include the time to complete the design, obtain permits, and install the drywall on the framing. On average, fully finishing a basement takes an average of 45 days.

When deciding whether to use nails or screws for framing, the specific needs of the project must be taken into account. Nails have long been the go-to option for framing due to their affordability, ease of installation, and ability to withstand shear forces. They are perfect for structural framing projects where fast assembly is essential. In contrast, screws offer exceptional holding power and are particularly useful in situations requiring increased strength and resistance to pull-out forces. For projects that prioritize accuracy and long-lasting quality, screws may be the preferred option, though nails remain a dependable and efficient choice.
