"Good person, knowledgeable, and patient when it come to ensuring your vision comes to life. When I've shown the plans to GCs , they all commented on how well executed the plans are. He will also provide renderings of your vision so you are able to physically SEE your ideas from your head to almost life:-).I will add, when designing, I had a vision, but no real idea of how much my vision would cost. Now the beautiful plans, are a bit costly to build. I will suggest developing your plans with the potential GC and architect at the same time if you value adhering to a build-out budget. I definitely recommend Mike!"

"There was quite a lot of work to do and for a project this size we did not expect everything to go perfectly.   For the most part, we are very satisfied and would use them again, but not for all projects.   We thought the price was very fair.   The price they quoted was for labor, tile and hardwood.   We paid Lowes and Home Depot separately for paint, vanities, bathroom faucets & hardware, new tub, and misc supplies.  The crew that did the travertine tile installation and bathroom renovations did a great job.   We are also extremely pleased with the hardwood floor installation and refinishing of existing hardwood floor.   Prior to starting the work, a gentleman met us at the tile store and helped us pick out the new bathroom tile -- this was very helpful and much appreciated.  Our main disappointment was with the painters.   They had problems with their spraying equipment and seemed haphazard in their approach to the project -- trim in one room would be done but not the walls, walls in another room would be done but not the trim, half a wall would be painted and then they would move to another room, eventually everything was painted correctly and looked great but the painters slowed down the entire project causing it to take longer than expected.  There were other minor issues that were eventually resolved to our satisfaction.   We would use 2hireahandyman again but we would hire someone else for any painting projects.

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

The easiest way to tell if a wall is load bearing is to check if it’s an exterior wall or if it runs perpendicular to the joists above and below it (or parallel to beams). Exterior walls are almost always load-bearing, and walls that run under beams or parallel to them are also usually load-bearing. There are exceptions to these rules, and walls that don’t fit into these categories can still be load-bearing. If you’re unsure, hire a structural engineer to look at your home to assess whether or not the wall is structural.

Yes, ceiling joists are typically load-bearing. However, their primary function is to support the weight of the ceiling and loads applied to it, like lighting fixtures and ceiling fans. They can also help support the roof, especially if they’re part of truss systems. Remember, the load-bearing capacity of ceiling joists depends on the material, size, and space between them. 

No, beams are the primary load-bearers for flooring or roofing systems, and they distribute the weight of the structure to your foundational supports, while joists bear far less weight and distribute their loads to the beams. Beams are usually thicker and longer, and they have support posts or foundation walls beneath them for support.

You need to hire a structural engineer when building or modifying any component with a structural load in your home. Common situations where you would need a structural engineer include home inspections when buying or selling a home, investigating possible issues with your foundation, beams, load-bearing walls, or chimneys, breaking ground on a new home or structure on your property, and renovating an old part of your home that could threaten any structural integrity. Home additions and bump-outs also require an engineer.

The early stages of building a house are harder than the later stages; laying the foundation and framing the house are two of the most challenging steps. However, it varies for everyone. Some people have difficulty installing HVAC, plumbing, and electricity, while others find it harder to plan the house and secure the necessary permits.
