"Samuel is extremely competent, timely, responsive, and transparent. Unfortunately, we had a roof installed a few years ago by a company who cut corners, and STMZ came to repair two separate leaks in the “new” roof. He documented every step of the process with photos, and explained what he was doing. (Most contractors, in my experience, do not take the time to explain the process to you!) I highly recommend his services, and if we ever need to replace the roof, STMZ will be the company we will call."

"so far so good Joe is extremely knowledgeable, professional, courteous; and is a 'can-do!' contractor. He arrived on site as planned and immediately got to work to assess and initiate repairs. At the time of this writing, we have more to go; but have already planned dates and times for completion of project. I am very happy that he is on the job- completely reliable and excellent work. Highly recommend."

"Lewis was very friendly and professional. Great communication! He got the 3 rooms painted quickly and they look great. One of the rooms had a spot that dripped and he came back and fixed it the next business day. He cleaned up his mess so well you wouldn't even know he had been here. Highly recommend!"

"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."

"What a great experience. He did the work on a Sunday which others seldom do. The job was completed professionally and he cleaned up afterwards. Additionally, he went to Home Depot himself and purchased additional trim. Extremely conscientious. I will definitely hire again."

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

House framing can be expensive because the materials are pricey, and the job requires a high level of expertise. The more complex the plans, the more expensive the job, but even the most basic frame needs to be installed with high-quality materials and precision. When pricing your home’s framework, remember that a sturdy frame is necessary to create a safe structure.

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. 

When deciding if you should use 2x6 or 2x8 deck joists, consider the size of the deck, joist spacing, and materials. Larger decks, larger-spaced joists, and weaker wood all require more support, meaning they need larger joists. For example, 2x8 redwood joists spaced 16 inches apart can only safely span up to 10 feet and 7 inches. On the other hand, 2x10 southern pine joists spaced 12 inches apart can be as big as 16 feet and 2 inches. If you aren’t sure what size joist is best for your project, speak with your deck builder.

A few signs that you need a new door frame include:

  • The door no longer fits properly in its frame and sticks or scrapes.

  • You notice cracks, holes, or rotting.

  • You feel a draft coming from around the door when it’s closed.

  • You find yourself frequently needing to make repairs.

The easiest way to tell if a wall is load bearing is to check if it’s an exterior wall or if it runs perpendicular to the joists above and below it (or parallel to beams). Exterior walls are almost always load-bearing, and walls that run under beams or parallel to them are also usually load-bearing. There are exceptions to these rules, and walls that don’t fit into these categories can still be load-bearing. If you’re unsure, hire a structural engineer to look at your home to assess whether or not the wall is structural.
