"They were efficient in terms of the process. They sent the pad in a reasonable time frame. I did have to call a couple times. It took about a month to deliver. They sent the material which was packed nicely. There were 2 issues: 1-the glue or adhesive they used smelled badly. I had to put in my garage for a couple weeks until that 2-every corner was protruded, the table pad corners were too sharp on the mat .which poses risks with small children. I called about that and they said to put some tape over it. The manager called back to discuss the issue was. She suggested that I try to fix. it. The company might have done something to repair if I had followed up."
"They did a great job. They are very willing to tailor the job they do to fit your needs. They are easy to work with. They were pretty honest and tried to work with us on price. The time frame was longer than what we had hoped but that was partially due to us contracting also and they did not have control over that. It all went pretty smoothly. Their measuring could have been better but it all turned out in the end. They were willing to fix their mistakes."
"Our driveway tear out and replacement went great. Crew got there about 10 am and immediately started to work on the demo. By the end of the day, they had removed all the old concrete in the driveway and front stoop, framed in the new drive and stoop, lain the sub-grade, and installed the rebar. They were back first thing the next morning to pour the concrete and finished before noon. Mike also put in wider expansion joints to combat the "street creep" that was the cause of our driveway and minor structural issues. We had an old basketball hoop set in concrete that that they removed for us and filled the hole in with dirt. My wife couldn't believe how fast the crew worked during the whole process and they did an excellent job of cleaning up both days they were there. I did have a bid that was $200 lower than but it didn't include rebar. Very satisfied with the work done and wouldn't hesitate to recommend them."
I wish I needed every room in my house painted as Beau would be doing every one of them. He was able to come look at the area needing painting within a couple days of calling him. He contacted me shortly thereafter with a great bid that included the cost of the paint. It was less than half of what someone else had quoted. I was not on a tight timeline, but needed it done before mid-June. He was one of many contractors I was coordinating for a basement facelift. He had a couple home exteriors he was working on but said he could fit me in on a rainy day. I had some prep work to do before he came and needed to pick out a color. I started on that when the weather forecast looked like a rain day was coming. He sent me a nice e-mail on a Wednesday and asked when I would be ready for him, but said don't feel rushed. I told him I was forecasting a rain day on that Friday and had finished my prep work and would know the paint color on Thursday and I would text him that morning. I texted him Thursday, he got the paint ordered and said he would see me Friday morning.
I had removed all my baseboards as they had paint flecks from the prior homeowner and I wanted to get them cleaned up. As I was working on that in the garage, while he was painting, he gave me a suggestion of how to make it a little easier (warm soapy water in a spray bottle, spray it on, let it sit for a short bit and then use a scrubby sponge to get it off - I used a Dobie). For the top edges that had more solid paint on them he said I could borrow his sander to sand that off and I'd only have to stain the top edge. The whole project went a lot easier than I expected with the great suggestions from Beau and by letting me use his sander.
He and his worker Tanner finished the whole job in less than 5 hours and it looked phenomenal. It was a boring neutral wall basement and it now was a gorgeous blue gray color (Ocean Storms - Diamond Vogel) that looks different in the different lights (natural vs ceiling, etc.). It turned out better than I imagined.
I had read a comment somewhere about his trim work. I looked closely where the ceiling and walls met and along the door frames and there was not a speck of paint anywhere and he doesn't even tape. I told him how amazed I was at how well that looked. I even pointed it out to my boyfriend when he got home and he felt the same as I did that Beau does great work and is a true artist.
They also used a garden hose out back to wash out their pans. I had it strewn on the patio from my last use so I hooked it up for them. I go outside today to use it and they had neatly coiled it up underneath the water spigot. I turned to my boyfriend and said "look what Beau and Tanner did". I just shook my head and got a smile on my face as it was totally unexpected. They could have left it just as I had...a mangled mess on the patio....but they put it back the neatest it will look all summer.
Beau definitely takes pride in his work!!!! He and Tanner did a great job. I felt like he was family and that I had known him a long time. Not just a paint contractor that I met that day. It takes a special personality to have that trait and Beau and Tanner definitely have it.
He and I also talked about him power washing my deck and re-staining it as it is long overdue. I have a pergola built into one corner so it's not a simple open deck. He's going to do that for me this summer when he has time in his schedule as I told him I was not in a hurry. I can't wait to see how great that is going to look when he's done.
I highly recommend Beau to everyone. If I ever need him again for painting and he's busy, I would wait. He is truly that good!!!
"The first day Mike and Joe and one other guy showed up and completely demo'ed the bathroom. Before they left in the evenings they cleaned up the bathroom and the outside area. They then started rewiring and changing the plumbing routes that needed to be done. In the process of rewiring the electrical, Joe fixed a couple of fixtures that had never worked correctly in the 21 years we have lived in this house. The same was true with a couple of plumbing issues - Mike and Joe made sure they were done right - no more leaks under the tub or the toilet. I took pictures of each day's progress and on day 1 and 2 the bathroom looked pretty bare - they had to spend quite a bit of time fixing the insulation problems in the walls and ceiling. On day 4 and 5 it started looking like a bathroom again. By day 6 - when the taper and painter had been there and gone, it felt and looked like a finished project - except for the finishing touches, molding around the floor, grout sealing on the tile, building a new closet, and installing the washer and dryer."
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.
While some highly experienced homeowners can frame a house independently, it is not advisable. You will need ample carpentry experience, a team of helpers, and professionals to sign off on your work to meet local building codes. For the safest outcome, we recommend buying or building a house with the guidance of professionals.
Joists do distribute their load to beams, but they don’t sit on top of the beams. Instead, home builders nail or screw the joists directly to the beams such that the end of the joist butts up against the edge of the beam. Beams can sit on other beams for support, but you’ll never see a joist sitting on top of a beam or another joist.
It’s sometimes safe to replace a load-bearing wall with a beam, but you need a structural engineer to sign off on the project. You’ll also likely have to upgrade to a steel I-beam or another material that’s stronger than wood to maintain the level of support you need without the wall underneath.
Yes, a 2x6 should hold a porch swing and safely support the load. A smaller joist runs the risk of it not offering enough support for the swing. If you have a joist smaller than 2x6, add additional bolstering support.
