"We had our chimney tuck pointed and a roof put on the house. The old roof wasn’t torn down this it wasn’t in real bad shape and there was only one layer on. The work was all done in one day and everything was cleaned up when they left."

"We recently had the pleasure of working with Chicagoland Home Products, and the experience exceeded my expectations in every way. The company demonstrated an unparalleled level of customer service, taking the time to measure out all the blinds we wanted for installation meticulously. Their attention to detail and commitment to ensuring a perfect fit was awe-inspiring. The installer arrived punctually on installation day and executed the job with remarkable skill and precision. The quality of work was evident, and I was particularly impressed by the meticulous cleanup afterward. Chicagoland Home Products takes pride in delivering not only exceptional products but also a seamless and professional installation process. I wholeheartedly recommend Chicagoland Home Products to anyone looking to update their closets and blinds. The combination of outstanding customer service, attention to detail, and top-notch installation makes them stand out in their field.

"Great company to work with. I had seamless gutters and all the fascia boards and trim, capped. The project manager, Devan, answered all my questions and let me know what to expect. Aaron, who lead the crew doing the work, was very professional. Other than how wonderful my house looks now, they left no trace of being here. The workmanship is spot on! I would recommend them highly!"

Small jobs welcome

"After so many negative experiences with people claiming to be "professionals" I contacted Mr Whitingham at Smart Dova's Home Renovation to install several blinds.  After my request for a quote he responded with a return call within minutes.  He came right over. We agreed on a price. He returned when promised and completed the job.  I was very happy with the outcome, so when I wanted to get estimates for a very large renovation, I again called Smart Dova. He gave me a detailed estimate, and a start date. When he began the demolition, he brought a large crew. For every phase: demolition, reframing, insulation installation, the necessary wiring, installation of fixtures, drywall, painting, and refinishing the fireplace and the hardwood floors, he had an appropriate crew for the work.  He discussed each phase with me. Relative to the amount of work, the entire project was completed in a very reasonable time frame. He pays attention to every aspect of each room. He even completed many deta"

"Mario responded quickly to my request. He provided a quote that met my budget. I made a deposit and he came out in two days to complete my job. I had a back porch support post that was rotting away, putting my porch at risk of collapse. The repair involved replacing the rotten post and modifying a custom decorative lattice on one side. This was a relatively small job and I was unsure that I could get an experienced contractor to take it on. They did the work quickly, efficiently and it all looks good. They arrived on time; cleaned up the job site; demonstrated a professional demeanor; and completed everything to my satisfaction. I will call Vax Construction when I'm ready to do a bigger improvement project."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

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. 

The average cost of DIY window framing is about $40 to $60 in materials. If you hire a window treatment professional, you’ll pay for materials plus labor costs—anywhere from $250 to $800 per window. The final cost is highly dependent on the window size, as larger windows are heavier and more difficult to install, as well as the type of window framing material.

Traditionally, bungalows are single-story homes, although having a half or partial story on top of the first floor is common. While adding a second story to a bungalow is certainly possible, the home would no longer be considered a bungalow by the strictest definition.

There are approximately 5.33 board feet in a 2x4. You can use the board foot calculator in this article to easily find the answer. A 2x4 is 2 inches of thickness by 4 inches of width, so you need to find the length, with 8 feet being the most common. You’d use the calculator here to multiply 2 times 4 times 8, and then divide by 12, arriving at a total of 5.33 board feet.
