"I never contacted the provider or used this service in anyway. I have to
write this review so that the request to write this review stops
popping up.

"Once I sent her all the measurements, it took her a little while to get the options back to me.  Overall, they're good designs.  However, they're very simplistic and give general ideas for space planning.  I was hoping to have a better idea for sizes of furniture for the space and some variations on staging.  
Jill was very responsive when I did have a question.  I'm not sure how helpful it is to have a virtual design done.  If we lived in similar cities, I'd probably use her again for help with additional designs.

"BJ and his crew from Mid Pac Services did a fantastic job over a period of 6 months. In addition to all the actual work they were also extremely helpful and professional in providing support and advice when it came to choosing vendors and providers and were there to receive the material and appliances if we were not able to receive. All the crew members were professional, punctual and very friendly; it was a pleasure to deal with BJ and all the crew members!"

"We had around 450 sq ft of deck and railing, as well as some major supporting structures in need of repair. Christian and his crew, Joshua and Stan, secured the railing, repaired the old deck and replaced deck posts, supporting beam and joists. We are very impressed with the quality of workmanship and the attention to detail.. Throughout the project, Christian was always available for discussion and feedback. Christian started and ended the project as proposed. We feel very safe and secure walking around the deck and we will call Christian again for our next home improvement project."

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Your local building code will list all the framing requirements for whatever type of structure you're building. Most exterior walls require spacing of 16 inches on-center, while many non-load-bearing interior walls only require 24 inches of spacing. However, there are also varying requirements depending on your construction material, so checking your municipality's rules is essential.

One of the most common house framing basics for decades has been using wood for the framing work. However, some framing contractors now suggest using steel frames. Steel is lightweight, resistant to fire, and resistant to moisture, all of which are areas where wood framing could cause problems. However, steel framing is more expensive than wood and limits your ability to insulate the home.

Yes, a one-story house can have a load-bearing wall. The load-bearing walls in a single-story home are usually the exterior walls. If the house has a basement with exposed walls, the arrangement of the beams can help indicate what walls are load-bearing.

Most of the time, you’ll want to use screws on your subfloor rather than nails. Nails can actually weaken plywood, whereas screws can easily penetrate without damage. They also form a more secure connection because of their shape, preventing squeaky floors and tightly holding the subfloor in place. That said, some contractors do prefer nails depending on the type of floor covering because they allow for more flexibility.

Yes, professional installations include reinforced corner posts to ensure durability.
