"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."

Affordable Home Repairs, Inc. 30 years carpentry experience. Self-employed doing home improvement work since July, 1992. Winfield resident, married, with 3 grown children. Specializing in all carpentry-related trim work, basements, kitchen and bathroom remodeling, door and window installation, drywall installation and other home improvement needs.

"Affordable Home Repairs-Sam Cannella Do not hire this contractor. His work is good but his personality is very unprofessional. He belittled me, made me feel stupid and incompetent, complained about everything, only worked 3-4 hours a day and overcharged. An example of his personality . His van leaks oil. He asked me to lay down cardboard in my driveway so his van did not leak oil on the driveway- which was thoughtful. However, one day I did not put the cardboard exactly right. He got of his van and hit his fist twice on the side of his van. It was not my responsibility as a customer to provide cardboard for the van. He should have brought the cardboard with him and put in the spot he wanted. He complained I did not have beverages on hand for him. Not my responsibility to provide beverage to contractors. Told me that he was using his tools to complete my projects. Every contractor I have hired has always provided their own tools. That is part of the job. Not sure why he even made the comment. He also told said and I quote Well knowing you, you do not care how things look. First of all that is not a comment you make to a customer. Second, I would not be trying to fixing up the house if I did not care how things looked. Sam is honest and supplied me with his tax number. He agreed to replace the ceiling fan he had installed (because it was wobbly) with a ceiling light. I told him I would pay for the light if he would install for free. When I l left a text message (because I wanted in writing) to state I had purchased the light and I wanted to confirm I was not going to be charged. Sam replied (actual statement) Why do you feel the need to remind me on things?? Do you think I just started yesterday? Being a single lady, I have used contractors for over 20 years and have never had a problem with one until Sam. My other contractors always treated me with respect; in fact, several of them have become friends. I am nervous about posting this review that Sam will vandalize the outside of my house. If I have any damage, he will be the first one I suspect."

Woodworking questions, answered by experts

A board foot is a volumetric unit and is primarily used for pricing and planning larger projects where volume is a factor. Pricing lumber by the board foot aids in understanding exactly how much wood you’re purchasing, as volume is a more accurate unit of measurement compared to square feet.

There's no simple answer to which is less costly: wood or metal-framed homes. In most cases, metal building components cost more than wooden ones, while entire metal buildings cost less than wooden versions. However, regardless of the exterior framing or structure, each must meet similar building codes. This means that the costs are about the same, even considering that wood will require more maintenance than metal over time.

Building a new home can be more expensive than buying an existing one, depending on the housing market in your area. Many homeowners still find that building a new house is worth the investment as they can choose the exact layout they want, as well as to choose their own floors, wall coverings, appliances, and finishes. If you live close enough to the build site, you can also stop by to check on the builder’s progress, which can provide some peace of mind that the project is worth it.

Regular sealing, repainting, and checking for wood rot or pest infestations help maintain longevity.

Most wooden carports take 3-7 days to construct, depending on size, complexity, and weather conditions.
