"Tim painted most of the inside of our house about 3 years ago. We were extremely impressed with his attention to detail and are still very pleased with the results. Tim painted the entire exterior of our house and pool house about four months ago. He did all of the trim and repaired two dormers.

"As an Angie Service provider and customer, I am rather disappointed in Robbie Redleaf, owner of R & A Residential Services. I have used for quite some time as a customer whenever I needed a project completed. I recently began using Angie as a service provider and oftentimes I choose to subcontract projects. I recently chose to subcontract Robbie for 3 separate projects. We lost the first 2 projects because the customers were unhappy with the price quoted. The price I quoted was the price Robbie provided in the estimate he submitted to me. To my surprise, Robbie gave the third customer his quote directly although he had agreed to provide the estimate to me since I was his customer. He placed my customer and myself, in a rather untenable position. I informed my customer that I do not fault her at all and was pleased that she had someone to complete her project but that I would not be legally responsible for the outcome if Robbie failed to meet her expectations. I have spoken to her since Robbie completed most of the project but had not returned to finish at that time. She stated that she was satisfied with his performance and paid him in full. She has since called me for help on other projects. What Robbie did was unethical and reflects poorly both his business and himself. Most importantly, his behavior reflects poorly on and service providers. It is my hope that Robbie will accept responsibility for his behavior and make a proper anends the everyone he has negatively affected. I wish him well."

"I knew that I was going to need very good help with this water heater replacement. The old one was 22 years old and had a lot of sediment in it. Also the location was difficult to get to. Jack sheduled the appointment to fit my schedule. Brad and Mickey arrived promptly and tackled the situation. As expected, the drain was clogged and the tank was way too heavy to lift out without draining. When using air pressure failed, they pulled out a shop vac, jerry-rigged a small hose on the end and slowly suck out enough water to allow the tank to be lifted out. They're one of the best crews I've ever had working for me. I have my mechanic, my electrician, and now I have my plumbers. I'll never use anyone else and I highly recommend them."

"I had used this man before. He had the part needed and I felt charged a fair price. Not this time! I paid $675 for a garage door opener I later found on Amazon for $180. The man charged me almost $500 to install the opener. I also later found out Home Depot will install garage door openers for $97! This guy took me to the cleaners. Beware!"

Uncompromising quality and integrity in all of your precious metals purchases and sales. Specializing in gold & silver bullion.

In addition, John is a frequent guest on various financial radio broadcast programs. Fisher Precious Metals is an A+ rated Accredited Business with the Better Business Bureau.

"It went great! We found Fisher Precious Metals on Angie's List, and after googling them, we found they had very positive reviews across the web. Although it was a 45 minute drive from our home, we felt it might be worth it, and it was. We made an appointment with John via email, arrived at 11:00, and spent just over an hour in his office. He evaluated the sterling silver set we had to sell and gave us what we felt was a very fair price. He'd given us an estimate on the value of the gold coins via email, and although the price of gold had fluctuated since he'd provided the quote, the final price was very, very close to the initial quote. We were happy to learn that they will also buy jewelry, as I have a few pieces I haven't worn in a very long time. We were very pleased with the entire experience and will definitely return to their company when we have gold or silver to sell, and we're happy to recommend them to our friends. One thing to keep in mind is that sterling silver sets are basically worth the price of the silver itself. We knew that going in, so we were not disappointed and, in fact, the price we received was a little higher than we'd expected."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Professionals ensure precise alignment and durability, critical for structural integrity.

Joists do distribute their load to beams, but they don’t sit on top of the beams. Instead, home builders nail or screw the joists directly to the beams such that the end of the joist butts up against the edge of the beam. Beams can sit on other beams for support, but you’ll never see a joist sitting on top of a beam or another joist.

In framing, studs are placed at 16-inch intervals to coincide with the typical spacing of wall materials such as drywall or plywood. This spacing is called "on-center" and is necessary for maintaining structural stability and efficient use of materials. The 16-inch spacing also helps to distribute the weight evenly across the building's structure. For those looking to cut material costs and improve energy efficiency, 24-inch stud spacing can be employed through a method called "advanced framing". This requires careful planning and adherence to local building codes to ensure structural integrity.

To calculate the number of linear feet of baseboard you’ll need, measure the length of each wall of the room you’re installing them in as close to the floor as possible, rounding up to the next full linear foot. If it’s your first DIY molding job, having a few extra feet on hand for miscuts is a good idea.

When building a house, it is customary to use 16d nails that measure 3 1/2 inches in length to construct the frame. These nails are crucial in providing the necessary support and stability for structural elements like joists and studs, which ensures a sturdy framework.
