"Chris did a fantastic job! I love my new kitchen cabinets! I had late 80s or early 90s "pink pickled wood" cabinets. Chris sanded, primed and professionally painted my cabinets. He does the base cabinets and drawers on site. He removes the cabinet doors, and takes them to his shop to spray off site. He delivered the doors back to me the following week, as promised. Also, I have a Kitchen Aid refrigerator with the wooden panel insets. Chris painted the doors to match my kitchen cabinets, for far less than buying new inserts from Kitchen Aid. He always was punctual, friendly and a true professional. He would always call or text and let me know when he'd be back, etc. I would definitely have Chris back again, and probably will. "
"They kid they sent out didn't seem to have any idea what he was doing. He stood in the backyard just turning around. He didn't take any measurements, he didn't ask what I wanted done, he just stared. Then he said they'd send someone else out to give me a quote. Well, no one else came. I finally got an estimate via email with no details or information. It just said Fix fence - labor and materials - [price] and screen porch labor and materials [price]. No one asked me for specific information for what I wanted done and the cost to screen the existing porch was insane. You'd think they were going to build the whole dang porch. I didn't respond and hired another company to come out. This company was incredibly unprofessional. I definitely wouldn't recommend them."
"Our experience with Covenant Construction went very well, from the moment we first contacted them until the job was complete. We contacted them on Tuesday at approximately 12:30pm to ask if/when they would be able to replace a door jam at our home. We were told due to my proximity to their office, they could come by Wednesday after 10:00am, after they left another job. They actually showed up at 09:50 am. Both gentlemen were very respectful. They made an assessment of exactly what needed to be done, and what additional materials they would need. Even after making a trip to the lumber company, they still had the job done well before 1:00pm. They even adjusted the door to the point it now opens better than ever. We were very pleased with their service and would not hesitate to call them again. "
"It went well. Ron showed up on time to give an estimate. The following week, he and his crew got to work. He even put the cat up (so that she wouldn't get out) when I wasn't able to do so. There were a few places that I've asked that the crew go back over, i.e., cutting in lines aren't straight. But Ron had no problem with that and has said several times that he wants to make sure that I'm happy. The paint job that was done in my dining room was totally his idea, stripes with the same color only different finishes, flat and high gloss. It looks GREAT!!!"
Whether building a playground or installing a pre-made one is more affordable depends on the materials of each. In most cases, it’s more affordable to build a wooden playground than it is to buy one and have it professionally installed, but it might be less expensive to invest in a pre-made plastic playground, even if you pay a professional to install it. Wooden playgrounds tend to last longer, but as children age, they will become less valuable. Overall, it may be most affordable to have a pro install a pre-made plastic playground.

Whether pole barn posts should be set in concrete depends on the soil surrounding your home. If your soil is compact and digging conditions are agreeable, then setting pole barn posts in concrete is an ideal option.
It’s much less expensive to build a house with wood. This is because wood is relatively inexpensive, strong enough to endure decades or even centuries of weathering and pressure, and is easier to replace if there are issues. The cost of stone houses are incredibly expensive, heavy, time-consuming to build, and difficult to repair.
Yes, barn doors can be too heavy, although the limitation is usually imposed by the mounting hardware you buy and not your home’s framing, unless you’re building an unusually wide door. To keep the weight down, you can opt for 1-by material rather than 2-by material, and choose a softwood like pine rather than a hardwood like maple or oak. Check the weight limits on your mounting hardware, and always attach your door track to studs rather than to drywall anchors.
