"These guys did an OUTSTANDING job. We are in our 70s and I have built four homes over the years and renovated existing structures. I would have to say that NorPro did perhaps the best job that I have experienced in properties built/renovated in seven cities / four states. We had a number of changes requested as they worked along and they always priced the changes very reasonably - which is not usually the case with other general contractors. Also, they kept ahead of schedule and worked with us on needing to get back in ahead of schedule due to my wife having a full knee replacement."

"DL Construction completed a full remodel of our kitchen.  They took time to understand our vision, helped us with the design and material selection, and gave us plenty of good advice.  They were very easy to work with and completed the project quickly even though they had to work around our busy family schedule.  These guys definitely have a lot of experience and take pride in their work; quality and thoroughness were evident every step of the way.  They were professional, efficient and did everything they agreed to."

"DAL was excellent to work with and we are very happy with our finished front porch. Tim and Dave were responsive, reasonable, and executed on the work quickly while still delivering quality. Tim was also the only contractor we contacted who was willing to help us problem solve and discuss possible solutions for a weird space we were dealing with under the porch. We couldn’t recommend the team enough and we are definitely willing to work with them again in the future."

"I am so grateful to Grandview Construction for our beautiful, new kitchen and master shower! They also painted our entire first floor including the trim. Our experience with Jeremy and his wonderful crew was A+mazing! Their workmanship was excellent, and Jeremy was very communicative and responsive throughout the entire process. The crew was friendly, professional and clearly experts at what they do. One of them has almost 30 years of experience in the industry. Jeremy and his crew provided many helpful details about the project from start to finish and was quick to let us know if any issues arose. When they had to make any adjustments they explained the reasons and were very patient in answering all of our questions and since this was our very first kitchen remodel we had a lot of questions. The project was completed on time and stayed within the very fair competitive estimate he gave us in the beginning, and we could not be happier with the gorgeous finished product. We will work with them on any other project we might do on our home, and I would recommend Grandview Construction without any reservation to anyone who is looking for a dependable and honest general contractor to work on their house."

"When Angelo said he would be at the work sight every day he meant it.  He and ALL his help were always on time and professional.  I have never had luck with contractors before but Angelo was always there for us with any questions we had.  He made this project go very smoothly and timely.
I would highly recommend Angelo to do YOUR next job.
Thanks Angelo,

"Nermin & Sons do it all. I cannot tell you how good they are. They worked within my schedule and budget. The quality of work was amazing. I would recommend them to anyone. Contractors don't get any better than this. If you need quality work, and beyond (when he saw that additional work would be needed, he just did it). For your peace of mind (I''m 70 years old and have been dealing with Nermin for at least 15 years), please consider Nermin and Sons to meet your construction issues."

"Claudiu Curescu of RC Brothers Construction is an amazing contactor. I had interviewed three contactors. The first one just said some cost figures verbally for my repairs. The second contractor hand wrote some cost figures on a sheet of paper. Claidiu produced a truly professional online estimate on his letterhead and detailed the work requested and the related cost as an estimate. He was by far the most professional. His painter iand crew are superb and use high quality Benjamin Moore paint. They are all very clean and clean up throughout the process. They took down my wall hangings and painting then after rehung them without any damages. There was no damage to my furniture. The tile guy and his partner created a beautiful look and the work was first rate quality. The carpet guy upgraded my new carpeting too. It’s a besutiful carpeting. Claidiu’s two brothes are involved too. One brother does excellent electrical work and figured out and fixed a complicated electrical issue."

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can hang picture frames, shelves, and other items on Trusscore panels. For lightweight items (less than 30 pounds), the company recommends using adhesive strips rather than nails or screws. However, you’ll need to secure heavier objects to a stud in the wall. In these situations, Trusscore recommends cutting away the panel material and fastening the object to the stud with metal hardware.

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. 

Bow windows need support because they are large and extend out from the exterior wall of the home. Bow windows may extend 1 foot to several feet from the outside of the home, so you’ll need to provide additional support to handle this weight. A window contractor will be able to provide the proper amount of support for your new bow window.

Not all porch columns are load-bearing, though they can be. Some porch columns are simply decorative. There are ways to identify a load-bearing column, like looking for visible seams and a foundation. Also, check to see if the column directly enters the ground. In some porch installations, a contractor will excavate a hole to install a column into the earth along with a buried cement base for stability.

There are a variety of second-story deck privacy ideas depending on your budget and aesthetic. For starters, you might consider fencing or tall privacy railing that masks a good portion of the open deck. A pergola or an awning can provide additional cover and shade. Outdoor curtains are an easy way to add or remove privacy at your convenience, plus they’re a wallet-friendly way to decorate your deck.
