"Chris was referred to us by a trusted friend to turn two of our bedrooms into a small apartment. One of the bedrooms was converted into a living area with a kitchenette. Chris did an amazing job installing the cabinets and countertop. His subcontractors that did the flooring and plumbing for kitchen sink did a great job as well. Chris also cut an exterior door and added an interior door to separate from the main house. All of the work Chris did was exceptionally well done. He was always here when he said he would be and got the job done in a timely manner. His communication was on point. When this job was done we asked Chris to also put cabinets in our laundry room and change out our countertop. Another project done very well! Price point for both projects were very reasonable. Would highly recommend Chris and his team for any project, big or small."
"Ed did an amazing job on our small deck - way exceeded the expectations!! He built a strong and beautiful platform for us - he was extremely professional and very kind. The small deck is the prettiest part of our backyard!! Thank you, Ed!!"

I recently started this business and I am eager to connect to see how we can work together to make your project idea a reality. I am fully licensed and insured and can adapt to whatever requirements your project may have. \n
"It was a seamless experience. Great communication before and during construction. Finished product was high quality. Appreciate the attention to detail by Ryan and his team. Will be using them in the future and definitely recommend them for roofing or general contractor services."
"My first remodel in my home and it went really well. Jon was very accommodating and willing to work within my budget, giving me a couple of different quotes of work they could do. Once the work and budget was decided on, it went very smoothly. Ben did the majority of the work and he was very kind, professional, and open about what tasks were happening that day. I liked that they cleaned as they worked especially since it was a small space and my only bathroom in the house. I would totally recommend them to my friends and family and will be using them again in the near future for upcoming projects."
"Jose was extremely professional and knowledgeable about replacing the glass in my broken house window. His communication was impeccable and the new glass in my window looks great! Thanks you Jose!"
You can customize your storm shelter to any depth, but you’ll want to pay special attention to the water table on your property. Avoid installing an in-ground storm shelter less than 10 feet from the mean sea level, as this can lead to leaks. Get in touch with a storm shelter builder for a professional recommendation on how deep yours should be.
There are energy-efficient options when building a cottage. Select green building materials, high-performance insulation, and energy-efficient windows when designing your cottage. Options such as solar panels, efficient HVAC systems, and LED lighting can lower your utility bills and reduce your environmental impact. Many builders offer energy-efficient upgrades as part of the design process.
Yes, particularly handy DIYers can build their own storm shelter, especially when using a prefabricated kit and an existing space. However, it is a large project that can take several weeks, requiring significant manual labor and heavy equipment. For these reasons, hiring a professional is often recommended. You should always leave certain jobs to a pro, such as installing an underground shelter, projects requiring site excavation, or any custom-designed structures. These types of builds are complex, labor-intensive, and can cost more in the long run if not executed properly.
The time it takes to build a shed heavily depends on the type of shed you buy. A prefab shed can be built in 4 to 8 hours, while a custom shed will be built off-site over the span of 2 to 5 days. It then takes a few hours, depending on the location, to move the finished shed to its final location.
Deciding whether to buy a prebuilt fireplace kit or build one from scratch comes down to aesthetics, available space, and budget. Many homeowners like the convenience and lower cost of prebuilt options—around $1,500—versus the involved planning and construction of a larger fireplace. Another bonus: you can usually move prebuilt units. Custom projects are more common when homeowners have access to a larger budget and more area in the yard to place the fireplace.
