Karen had a problem executing what the designer asked (deeper color base coat, with lighter color chalk paint on top, then rubbed back at edges to show base coat), so without showing us samples, she painted all of the doors with her Plan B which both we and the designer agreed did not look good with the other elements in the kitchen. She had the cabinet doors at her studio, so we did not see them until they were done. She was also supposed to paint the interiors of the cabinets. The original cabinets were forest green and we were repainting with beige. She only applied one coat of paint, which did not sufficiently cover the green, skipped the bottom of the uppers (which you could see when sitting at the table) and did not remove or tape the hinges so there was paint all over them. It was very sloppy, poor quality work for a professional painter. At our request, she did come back (three times) to try to fix them, but it never got to a place that was acceptable to either the designer or us. The top cabinets were painted the wrong color and she applied a lighter color, then a darkening wax, which made them look dirty. The lower cabinets were easier to fix, however, she applied a gloss polyurethane when the cabinets were supposed to have a soft wax finish. She said the polyurethane would wear better, and that was fine, but why gloss when the uppers had at best, a stain finish from the wax? She did recoat the lowers with a less glossy finish. We ended up painting the entire insides and underparts of the cabinets ourselves. At our last meeting, she did refund some money, but we agreed that trying to fix the uppers was too much of a project for us to do together considering how many times she'd been back. At that point, we were all very stressed withthis protracted situation. We were not able to find someone to fix a chalk paint finish, and when I took cabinet face samples to show one painter in Madison he said, "what happened here?!?" So instead we are priming, and repainting them ourselves. They have to be primed because the brown wax bleeds through. Chalk paint and wax are not hard to work with, but they are different from latex and there is a learning curve. The project is relegated to weekends since we work and it is eating up what little free time we have. The kitchen was started in mid-July and it is now the end of September. We hope to finish this weekend. So far it looks great! I'm sure that Karen is very talented- the designer had successfully worked with her before. As a person, she was very enjoyable to be with. Neither the designer or I understand what happened on this project, but I would say to demand samples, and hold all payment until the project is complete if you work with her. She scheduled our project to take two weeks, so at $6,500, that works out to over $150,000 per year even if your subtract paint costs, vacation, etc. I own a small business so understand costs, but sloppy work at that price level is unacceptable. Maybe she's great at smaller jobs such as decorative walls, but for the money she charges, a professional job was expected.

We have them inspect and clean our chimney flues every year. In 2009 we were ready to replace one of our old wood stoves with a newer, more efficient model and wanted to address the creosote buildup that was occuring each year in our flue at the same time. Dublin City Chimney Sweeps were recommended by the woodstove dealer that we purchased our stove from and we're truly glad that we were introduced to them at this point. John came to our home promptly and performed a thorough inspection of our chimney and flue system. He recommended that we line the one flue that we were using daily to limit the creosote buildup potential. He measured for a new custom made oval stainless steel chimney liner, provided a quote and scheduled a install date. John and his crew, Zack and Ryan, arrived, cleaned the flues thoroughly, installed and insulated the liner, installed a new stainless flue cover as well as repaired the cement apron around the cap. All performed according to the manufacturers installation instructions and warranty conditions. They then proceeded to install our new woodstove and completed it very efficiently. They performed a very professional job, cleanly done and the performance of the woodstove and newly lined flue have been excellent. We've had them inspect and clean the flues each year and in June 2012, decided we wanted to line the second flue for the basement stove which was use infrequently but before we had our roof replaced. John and crew came, performed a full inspection again and provided a quote for the new second liner for our second woodstove. The install went just as smooth as the first one and we're very happy with the results. I'd recommend John and his crew without reservation. Nice guys, reasonable price and excellent results.

FAQs for patio cover service projects in Stonington, CT
While the terms deck and porch are often used interchangeably, they are two distinct home features. Porches offer a roof that protects from the elements when coming and going from the house. Generally, porches are on the front of your home. On the other hand, decks are generally built in the backyard of a home and offer no roof or protection from the elements, like rain or snow. Porches typically require less maintenance and upkeep thanks to the roof, but both features require regular cleaning and repairs to maintain good condition.
The cost of an awning is $1,400 to $4,400 on average. However, this cost could be as low as $100 or as high as $7,500, depending on a few factors. The type of awning you choose, the size you need, and your location all affect your overall cost.
For example, portable awnings you can put up and take down yourself range from $100 to $400, whereas motorized awnings are more luxurious and cost between $2,000 and $3,500.
The cost to build a deck is $8,025 on average. However, this cost can range anywhere from $1,500 to $22,000, depending on multiple factors, such as size, materials, and deck type. You can expect to pay $30 to $60 per square foot when building a new deck.
Cedar decks are often the most cost-effective option, ranging from $4 to $9per square foot for materials. However, pressure-treated decking, which is resistant to rot, is more expensive, ranging from $15 to $25 per square foot for materials.
Awnings are either fixed or retractable and can be paired with a variety of cover materials. Fixed awnings are a permanent outdoor feature of a building. These are highly durable and require ongoing maintenance. Once installed, the position of this awning cannot be changed.
Retractable awnings are more popular than fixed awnings since the cover can open and close. This allows homeowners to open and close the awning, depending on the weather. When not in use, it can be closed to allow for extra space.
Besides the type of awning, you’ll need to choose the type of cover. Your awning installation professional will review your options with you, including availability and costs. The types of covers you can choose from include:
Wood, which is durable but can be damaged easily by rainwater and fire
Cotton offers flexibility, weatherproofing, and easy cleaning
Canvas is highly durable and is a good choice for retractable awnings
Metal is sturdy but is prone to rust
Polyester is easy to clean and is a more breathable option
Polycarbonate is highly resistant to UV rays and is difficult to damage
