"From the time I contacted R & R Hauling and Appliance Removal they were professional and reasonable. They scheduled an appointment and called to confirm. They arrived on time and did a great job! They were great to work with. We will definitely use them again, and highly recommend them to others we know who need similar services. I called three companies during this process and R & R was much more impressive than any others I talked with!"

Marathon did an excellent job all around.  My 18 year old roof was at the end of its life so I asked for a bid.  The owner came out and noted that I had hail damage, and recommended that I contact my insurance company.  Sure enough it was covered, which I didn't expect for such an old roof, and this saved me over $12,000 on my $13,500 roof and skylight replacement.  Because their initial bid didn't have the level of detail I wanted, and because Marathon was working with my insurance company to cover more of the damage, I ended up asking Marathon to come out 3 different times.  Each time they were very polite and entirely professional.

I'm so happy with their work that I'm currently getting two more bids from them to replace our windows and the front porch.  Having worked with countless contractors in my lifetime Marathon was definitely top notch, and deserve an A rating.

Lined up another sub-contractor to come by and give estimate to take out wall so I could expand/add kitchen island, but neither the first person I met with nor the sub-contractor followed up with me to provide the total estimate.  I left a message a few weeks later asking for a call back and never received one.

 In the end, whether they could do the work I was asking for or not, had they followed up with me, I would have considered them for my cabinet refinishing work, which I will be doing this summer.  

UPDATE November 7, 2014: The owner of the co got back with me after seeing this review. He went above and beyond to address the poor follow through and put me in touch with another designer who promptly contacted me and drew up some plans. They addressed all my questions and on top of that he even reimbursed the $50 fee. I was very pleased with the recommendation, timeliness and over all effort to make it right."

"I can’t say enough good things about this company. I needed to get my stairs rebuilt as they were dangerous. They delivered. They were the fastest to get on the schedule, best price, and made very quick work of it. They also showed up when they said they would. Exceeded my expectations. Hire them. You will be pleased."

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

For maximum stability, install grab bars on wall studs, as this will adequately support the weight. However, if you don't have access to studs, you can get by with wall anchors. If opting for the latter, choose specialty hollow wall anchors. 

Bump-out additions can add some space to a closet without requiring any significant structural work. This entails pushing back the existing rear or side of the closet, simply moving the wall into either an adjacent room or unused space. For ground-floor closets, this could even be extended to the exterior of the home, but that has its own complications. Bump-outs are a good discussion to have with your contractor if you’re just looking to increase the space a little—not renovate the entire closet space.

Installing an ornamental or decorative porch column takes around three to five hours. Structural columns take longer because your pro has to install a jack to hold up the roof while switching the column out. If there's any structural damage, it can add several days to the timeline to repair the damage.

If the bowing basement wall is less than 2 inches, steel or carbon fiber straps are the best solution. For bowing that is more than 2 inches, wall anchors are the most effective. A contractor can help you decide the best method of repair for your home's foundation and also address the root cause of the trouble.

Professionals ensure precise alignment and durability, critical for structural integrity.
