"Throughout our project, their general construction services were consistently professional and reliable. They managed every detail flawlessly, ensuring a smooth and efficient process from start to finish."
"Edit: After seeing my review, SavOn sent a team to come back and fix all of the issues. The window has been sealed, the trim has been properly attached, and the areas have been repainted. We are now 100% happy with the results. We needed some pieces of siding repaired or replaced. After reviewing several bids, we went with Sav On. They came by a few days later on 8/25 and tore out the old siding and wood, leaving the remnants next to the side of the house. After they took it down, they went around to try to find it at a local retailer. It had to be special ordered. On 8/31, they were back they were back to install the siding. They only did the section by our bathroom window and were here for a max of 2 hours. Siding around and under the guest bathroom window was removed and replaced on 9/1. We could hear the nail gun going off and were glad that the plastic would be removed. A light bulb in bathroom was broken due to vibrations from the nail gun. When I heard the glass break, I ran upstairs and the guy installing was surprised to see me. The window had been removed for some reason that I still don't understand. He didn't think anyone was home, but he did apologize for the lightbulb. When it was quiet for an extended period, I went back upstairs to see if the window had been replaced. That is when I noticed that it was set incorrectly, very off center, and one of the glass panels was cracked. The window sill was extremely dirty and there was chipped paint everywhere. There was also a nail protruding from the top of the window. I sent an email to Ivan telling him this was completely unacceptable. On 9/2, a crew showed up to do the texturing, I told them not to do anything before Ivan came to see the damage. He showed up a few minutes later to inspect and said they would take care of it. A guy from their fix-it crew called me the following day to schedule a time to come take a look at what they needed to do to make it better. They showed up on 9/4 to reset the window, remove the nail, seal, and paint the sill. Taylor called to say someone would be over on Friday 9/11 to do an estimate for the glass. That guy came and went in just a few minutes, which was nice, but we were still in limbo about what was next. Taylor called me on 9/15 saying that the glass would be replaced on the 16th. The tech came and went pretty quickly and we had a fresh panel of glass. I got up the following Saturday, 9/19, and heard commotion outside the bathroom window. A team had stopped by to do the texturing. We are now a month and a day out from when the estimate was signed. 9/21, Ivan called asking if we had any paint that matched. We had told him twice already that we did not have any. They came by, got a sample from the removed pieces, and were back later that day to paint. 9/22, we received a notice from our HOA regarding construction garbage next to our house. I sent yet another email to Ivan asking that they please remove it all. He returned with another guy 9/23 to remove all the junk and do some touch up painting. When they thought they were done, Ivan said to me, It looks pretty good, does it not?* I asked him about all the staples from the plastic sheeting that were still in the accent wood. He looked to the guy standing next to him and asked why there were so many. Anyway, they said they would remove them. I also pointed out all the visible holes from where the nails were put in, he said they would take care of those. They only took care of the ones that can be seen from the front of the house. The staples were removed and we can not really see where they were, holes are still visible on the left and right sides of accent wood, and on the framing by the roof where they replaced the vertical pieces. Paint is streaking and wood is not flush to the house. Buyer Beware."
"Allwyn was super responsive and collaborative. He worked with us to design the final solution (a unique shaped concrete pad with stamp design) which ended up being much less expensive and much more beautiful and functional than the original plan (a wood deck). He went beyond what was asked to make sure he and we would be proud of the result. Allwyn asked great questions, attended to detail, and offered creative changes. We had some challenges with an electrician Allwyn subcontracted. The electrician missed some appointments. Ultimately, the work was completed and the quality was excellent. I look forward to working with Allwyn again."
"I hired jeff too refinish my stair case. He did such a beautiful job that I had him come back and do base molding, fireplace mantel, build some cornice boxes for above my windows and add crown molding to my kitchen. Wouldn't use anyone else for finish work. Great work and very reasonable and trust worthy"

Yes, a 2x6 should hold a porch swing and safely support the load. A smaller joist runs the risk of it not offering enough support for the swing. If you have a joist smaller than 2x6, add additional bolstering support.
For maximum stability, install grab bars on wall studs, as this will adequately support the weight. However, if you don't have access to studs, you can get by with wall anchors. If opting for the latter, choose specialty hollow wall anchors.
There are a few easy ways to locate a wall stud without a stud finder. First, try knocking on the wall with your knuckles. Most parts of the wall will sound hollow, but when you tap over a stud, it will sound more solid. Alternatively, since studs are spaced 16 or 24 inches apart, you can measure those distances from a corner of the room, which will always have a stud.
Balcony construction or replacement typically requires a building permit from your local permitting authority. Safety and building integrity are the main reasons for the need to obtain a permit and the subsequent inspections. In some cases, especially cantilevered balconies, your municipality may also require the oversight and signature of a structural engineer.
The primary parts of a house that need framing during construction are floors, exterior walls, interior walls, and the roof. The framing in these areas provides the skeleton for adding other materials over the top. With walls, for example, contractors can hang drywall over the interior walls and siding over the outside of the exterior walls. Proper framing ensures a sturdy house that is built to last.
