"Very well- built deck on 6x6 support posts. Larry is an excellent contractor to deal with. He does quality work! I have used him for years for other projects. In addition to this deck he built a front porch and I have other projects scheduled with him as well. "
"Trevor has been an amazing contractor who has helped us through the process of installing a large interior door for an office. He has helped ensure the space was properly prepared for installation of the door. The other contractors who have assisted Trevor have also exceeded my expectations. They have been extremely detail oriented and have done everything to ensure the best outcome. I would definitely work with Trevor for any future projects."
"The project went very smooth, the contractor was always prompt, showed a great work ethic, what pleasantly responsive to questions about the work being done. The personnel with Built Different was always personable and respectful which made me feel very comfortable having them in my home. They showed up did their work communicated as need. The contractor went above and beyond coordinating with other contractors providing access to the property when I could not be available and receptive to add on request. Most impressively the project was finished within the agreed upon time. I will definitely use them in the future as needs arrive."

"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. "

When deciding whether to use nails or screws for framing, the specific needs of the project must be taken into account. Nails have long been the go-to option for framing due to their affordability, ease of installation, and ability to withstand shear forces. They are perfect for structural framing projects where fast assembly is essential. In contrast, screws offer exceptional holding power and are particularly useful in situations requiring increased strength and resistance to pull-out forces. For projects that prioritize accuracy and long-lasting quality, screws may be the preferred option, though nails remain a dependable and efficient choice.
