"The job went great. They finished when they said they would and it only took them 2 days to finish a 3000 sq ft home. Their estimate was 3K less than closest next bid. Brent is really nice guy and easy to work with, highly recommend."

"Having mold in your home is a serious situation that can result in a number of health issues. Needless to say, when I discovered mold growing on the ceilings and walls of the home I’m renting I was very concerned. Titan Remediation was contacted to evaluate the situation and Chris came out the same day. He assessed my home and was able to identify the source of the moisture causing the mold within minutes. He quickly came up with an action plan to address the cause of the condensation, reduce the air moisture levels and treat the mold spores. The whole process took approximately 10 days, during which Chris consistently kept me updated on the progress. When all the treatments were complete, they even brought in a third-party testing company to ensure all mold sores had been removed. In addition to their amazing remediation services, Chris was also very personable. He took the time to explain everything to me and put me at ease that all the issues could easily be addressed and my house would be back to normal before I knew it. Finding a contractor that truly cares about the job they are doing, the home they are doing it in and the people they are doing it for is so rare. I can not recommend Titan Remediation and Chris enough. Hopefully this will be my last “mold situation” but if it isn’t, I have peace of mind knowing Titan is just a call away."

We obtained bid from Gulfstream in March of 2013 with the
intent of having work done in January of 2014.  After obtaining design approval
for both the window enclosure and front door by our condo HOA we signed a
contract during the summer of 2013 and provided a 50% down payment.  The contract stipulated work was to be
completed by mid-January, 2014.

Because we would not arrive in Florida until late December
of 2013, we arranged to have a neighbor give Gulfstream access to our condo in
October of 2013 to do final measurements before ordering materials.  However, Gulfstream
didn?t reach out to the neighbor until late November and therefore measurement did not take
place until the first week in December.

We arrived in Florida at the end of December, 2013 and
reached out to Gulfstream to determine when we could expect them to begin
work.  At that time we were advised that
the front door and the frame for the windows/screen could be installed, but
there would be a delay on the installation of the windows/screens of about a
week.
After the front door was installed we realized they
installed the wrong front door.  To Gulfstream?s
credit the salesperson came out that afternoon to review the work and agreed
they had made an error.  The correct door
was installed within a week.  Amazingly
we learned the Sales Manager (who we understand is no longer with them) took it
upon himself to change the door order because someone he knows that lives in
this community told him, in error, the door we had selected would not meet the
condo board?s approval.  We couldn?t
believe that change could be made without ever contacting us to discuss.
Re: the windows/screens, the date constantly shifted.  The communication was poor with regard to the
shifting dates ? the onus was on us to check to see if the last date
communicated would hold.    At least two
weeks went by before the owner finally advised us she was having trouble with
the supplier.  It appeared she was afraid
to give us bad news.  Ironically,
consistently giving us unreliable or no information only made it more
frustrating for us as we had other contractors lined up to do work in the
lanai.
Despite the hiccups, we are very happy with the quality of
the workmanship and the products.  The
two person team who did the installation was wonderful.  They came when they said they would, took
great pride in the work they did and took great care to clean up after they
completed their work.

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

There are approximately 5.33 board feet in a 2x4. You can use the board foot calculator in this article to easily find the answer. A 2x4 is 2 inches of thickness by 4 inches of width, so you need to find the length, with 8 feet being the most common. You’d use the calculator here to multiply 2 times 4 times 8, and then divide by 12, arriving at a total of 5.33 board feet. 

Bump-out additions can extend anywhere from 2 to 15 feet from an existing room. The right size will depend on how you plan to use the new space. For a cantilever bump-out, which doesn't require additional foundation support, the limit is typically 24 inches (2 feet). If a footing and foundation are part of the project, a bump-out can be much larger, even encompassing a whole room. It's also important to remember that many residential properties have limits on the total house size relative to the lot size.

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.

No rules state how much of a load-bearing wall can be removed. Rather, you need to adequately support any area that is removed. Support should always be added to as much wall area is being removed. Failing to support the area properly will result in structural damage.
