"Brian was awesome when it came to tackling our list of things that needed fixing/installing around our house. He was very professional, taking his time beforehand to ask the right questions about our projects, and giving his informed opinions on the best way to execute it. On his appointed days, he came in & got the job done quickly and expertly. His work looks great & we'd definitely hire him again!"

"Agile Construction was very professional. They asked what needed to get done and then came in and executed it flawlessly. They were able to answer my questions and explained the work and their methodology. They came to repair my window sill. And it looks way better than before."

"I cannot speak highly enough of Tom and Brad Green of Colonial Restorations. We have lived in our antique house for 16 years now, and like most old homes, some of its previous repairs were good, some not so good. Tom Green worked on this house for its previous owners, and his work was, by far, the best in the house. So, we continued to use Colonial - Tom, then Tom and Brad - as we learned the ropes about caring for an old house - our first house, old or new. Over the years, they have replaced sills and posts and beams, and rebuilt parts of our loose stone foundation. Most recently, they replaced the last original posts in our basement, (one of which was a tree trunk still with bark on it), including pouring new custom footings, in advance of our finally cementing the dirt floor. The work here is never easy - nothing is level, nothing is square - but the Greens' end result has always been beautiful - strong and made to last. Their prices are fair and without hidden costs....maybe not the lowest bid you might get, but you know it's a real bid that they will stand behind. They triage projects for us, giving us an idea of what other items will likely need attention in the next few years. We're not done with this house yet....we've never won the lottery, and there's always another repair..... and plan to use them again soon. I feel confident knowing that the next owners of this house, whoever they might be, will see the quality of the work and know that we cared enough to have the right people help us with the ongoing repair and maintenance of a 275+ year old house. I am a real person, a real customer, with no ties to the company, and was more than happy to write this review."

"Oliver is a meticulous craftsman and a pleasure to work with. He takes an unusually high level of pride in his work. He not only repaired the damaged areas, but improved them to a condition superior to their original state. He tossed in a few extra touches like painting the molding around our windows and floors. Oliver is knowledgeable about many aspects of home construction and repair. As one additional plus, Oliver lives pets and walked and played with our dog and brought her treats. We highly recommend Bauhaus Construction and intend to work with them in the future.

"I was so happy with Brian and B&M Builders work and have
used him as my contractor ever since. The projects included replacing the box
framing and sill plates and some floor joists around
three sides of my house. This involved  jacking my house up off the foundation,  detaching 
and suspending the 16?X16? enclosed porch and replacing the rotten wood.  This was quite a job. Brian and his crew
worked tirelessly under difficult conditions and went above and beyond.   I
later had them replace my entire roof and on the back porch.  Brian replaced a failing flat roof and installed
a rubber roof and tied it all together. I also had them remove and replace the
siding, exterior trim, gutters and gutter guard and a new window on the 2nd
floor dormer. Brian also removed and rebuilt a large deck on one side of my
house as well. I strongly recommend Brian and his crew in any and all of these
repairs.  They are honest and fair and
easy to work with.  I trusted him and his
crew with full access to my house and family. 
You will not be disappointed.

"From first contact, until the final walk-through, Wes, Aimee and their team were the best.
Estimates were accurate, communication was excellent, and attention to detail was consistent from start to finish.
Every effort was made to make the process as painless as possible for us, and the jobsite was cleaned up every night. Our project took several months and these standards were maintained the entire time.
The final result is absolutely beautiful - better than I dreamed of.
AW Carpentry will be coming back to side our house later this year.
Highly recommended.

"I requested to have the work done before Thanksgiving and we set a tentative date of November 24. I got a call around the 14th to change the date, I was out of town and when I returned I called Mr. Harris. After I refreshed his memory on what I hired him to do he referred to me as "the foyer girl".  Would he call my husband the "foyer boy" if he happened to be speaking to him instead?
We finalized the start date to be the 21st. I rushed home that morning to get a call that his crew would not be able to start that day since another job was not completed. About an hour later I got another call stating his crew couldn't get into the other job so could they come today? I said sure. 45 minutes or so later 2 men show up to do the work. I had to explain what was to be done, showing them the quote. They did not have drop cloths, ladders or patching material or tools. Thankfully I was providing the paint so they could start with cutting in. I also provided the paper towels for them to wipe up drips.  They were quiet and polite and seemed focused on the job at hand. 
When they left I asked when they would be back and was told Tuesday, if that changes I'd get a call. 
When I returned home Monday morning I found someone in my driveway waiting to get started. I had no idea he was going to show up. This was  a new guy who had to be instructed on what to do. He was given wrong information from Mr. Harris so again I had to pull out the quote and explain what areas are to be painted, and not painted. (He was told to paint doors in addition to trim and walls)
He had no ladder and borrowed mine.
He talked a lot to me, not about the job, and on his cell phone.  While painting he asked me how to get on the mailing list for Pottery Barn and then proceeded to call them to get their catalog.  ( I had mentioned that PB sometimes has coupon offers for Sherwin Williams paint). To inspire confidence in his work he told me the guys that came on the first day had less than 5 years experience between them.
The material he used to patch the holes in the wall had a  very strong odor, causing a headache. My daughter and I retreated to her room and even though it was cool outside opened a window to get some fresh air. In the future I recommend the staff advise the home owner in advance if such an odorous product is used. There are plenty of patching products available that do give off such a strong odor.
The first guys left a clean edge of the  upstairs wall, the guy with lots of experience painted over the edge and left a partially painted area. Since he  also had to use my ladder which was not meant to be propped up on stairs to reach high areas, he used some dirty patio pavers that were in my yard as weights , directly on the stair carpeting.  I asked him to use a rag under them and he did. 
While he was cleaning up Mr Harris called  me to get in touch with his worker, while I was making dinner, tending to the dog and my daughter. We talked for awhile and he asked how I would rate the work on Angie's List. I felt cornered and explained I felt like I was being charged for a premium- he responded that his painters are professional and paid well. 
Over the days following the completion of work I noticed several areas of the walls were not completely painted, there was paint on my handrails and some splotches on the  hard wood floors. 
In summary, Mr Harris is unprofessional and over books jobs, his workers are average.   I had high expectations believing that you get what you pay for. I considered asking them to come back to touch up the areas missed, but honestly don't want to have any more to do with them. 

The wails were eggshell white and the paint that was used was light gray, so I am can easily see the paints splatters and hits on the wood finish hand rails. They were not there before the job was started."
This house had asbestos tile to be removed, rotted clapboard to be removed, several framing and insulation repairs, and reproduction moulding created on site and installed.

Pole Barn Builders questions, answered by experts

Trex is not stronger than wood, but it lasts longer than wood and is heavier. Trex holds up well to the elements and is resistant to termites thanks to its resilient composition of plastic, reclaimed wood, and sawdust. Trex decking is rot and warp-resistant, making it especially useful in areas that experience a lot of snow and rain.

The foundation for a pole barn should be at least 36 inches thick to ensure that the piers won’t shift from frost heave.

You don’t typically need a permit to build a shed, but it’s best to check with your local city clerk to make sure before you start the project. Every town, city, and municipality can have different rules when it comes to any home improvement project. Homeowners associations sometimes have restrictions on the materials you can use on your property as well.

Yes, barndominiums can be two stories. Blueprints for barndominiums can safely support multiple stories or vaulted ceiling heights of 14 feet or more. Barndominiums are prized for their ability to be modified and customized to suit the builder’s preferences, and many barndominium construction companies offer a variety of different floor plans to choose from.

While prices fluctuate because of increased demand, fewer supplies, and engineering time, OSB generally remains more affordable than plywood at $1 to $2.40 per square foot compared to the $4.50 to $10 for plywood. Cost is only one factor you should consider when deciding between OSB and plywood.
