"It was excellent, Robert is an outstanding craftsman and overall contractor, he does excellent quality work. He also help me with so many different things."
"It can be really difficult to find the right contractor, one who is honest, shows up on time and does quality work at realistic prices. I found them in Bielefield Construction! This company has a great crew with many talents. Ray built us a dream deck that will last at least two life times. Thank you Bielefield Construction and crew."
"We love our new deck, and it’s all thanks to SGB. It was a pleasure working with SGB from start to finish. They are communicative, timely, and professional. Most importantly, they stayed within the original quoted price. Can’t wait to work with them again on future projects!"
"May 17, 2017 -UPDATE -- I reviewed Silverlining Const. earlier and I believe I might have been overly critical of their service. I was offered a choice of written bid or use the time and materials method. I chose time and materials. I don't think it would have mattered in the overall cost of the job. There was a problem with the tile that had already been put in before Silverlining came on the job. It was necessary to remove some tile and correct the problem. It was my call but it was hard to see the work redone. I was told of the problems that could occur down the road and the rebuilding was the best option. The owner was friendly and personable. He was on site a few times to check on things. I was somewhat disappointed in the final product. It looked pretty good standing back, but up close there were some flaws, but not very obvious. The clean up was not as thorough as it could have been. The company has a good reputation. This job had some problems that were not all Silverlining's fault."
"The jobs were done in a timely manner and The workmanship was excellent along with professionalism during each project. I would recommend Hilario Construction to anyone wishing to have excellent service with all projects."

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts
Professionals charge between $60 and $95 per hour to install ornamental porch columns. The amount of time they need varies based on the condition of the porch, whether they need to remove old columns, and if there is any damage to your porch's structure. This cost can increase if more issues come up during the installation process.
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.
Yes, you can find ceiling joists using simple tools if a stud finder isn't available.
Using a hammer requires patience and a keen ear. Gently tap the ceiling in a grid pattern, listening for sound changes. A hollow sound indicates space between joists, while a solid, dull thud suggests a joist. Mark the location with a pencil and confirm by tapping from different angles.
Alternatively, you can use a nail, but this method will leave small holes. You'll feel increased resistance when the nail hits a joist. Mark the spot and repeat the process every 16 or 24 inches to map the joist locations. This method is considered less reliable than using a stud finder.
You can choose 5/8-inch plywood or 3/4-inch plywood—anything thinner than these sizes may not withstand the impact of debris propelled by strong winds or can be easily torn off by intruders. Remember that the durability of the wood board is crucial, particularly for safeguarding your windows during severe storms. The effectiveness of using wood boards for protecting the investment you made in your home relies on using the appropriate material and ensuring proper installation.
It's possible to turn your carport into a living space, but there are additional factors to address over turning it into a garage. HVAC, plumbing, and electricity won't be optional, and you'll need finished flooring, drywall, trim work, and legal ceiling height, for starters. Also, keep in mind that living space conversions may require upgrading the foundation underneath, and the permits might be more expensive as well.
