We have lived here for 27 years, in one community and one school district. This means I value steady, honest relationships . . . . especially my wife of 40 years! Thus, this honesty and integrity extends to our work with others, starting with treating you & your home with respect. As a contractor, we offer a variety of general home improvement services, recognizing your individual project is unique to you. We specialize in additions and bathroom remodels, exterior decks and garden structures. But also offer a wide range of expertise for a variety of other projects. We have even integrated passive and active solar into past projects. So what makes us different? Ask for our introduction letter! We believe there are many qualified craftsmen. Working together requires honesty, trust and being problem solvers. We live these principles as we work. We look forward to earning your trust and creating a project for you!

"Our experience with Terrehaven Solutions will sound like a broken record compared to everything else I have read about them. John and his two associates were the utmost professional, timely, and respectful of our home, property, and our goal of getting the deck built before the winter hit. They came exactly when they said they would, and they FINISHED exactly when they said they would. Today, one week before Christmas our grille and patio furniture sit in beautifully in the snow, waiting to grill some steaks on Christmas Eve. Thanks John, Trevor, and John Mark. I would highly recommend this company to anyone in the Elburn and surrounding areas."

Woodworking questions, answered by experts

Rather than using a common two-by-four piece of wood for a rafter, you probably will use two-by-six, two-by-eight, two-by-ten, or even two-by-twelve boards. Wider lumber is typically a better choice in a larger building as it provides more sturdiness. Some installers may use wider lumber for rafters near the edges of the roof, where the greatest stress occurs, and save money with narrower lumber toward the middle.

In most cases, you can build a carport between 5 and 10 feet from your side property lines and within 10 to 20 feet from your front and rear property lines, at a maximum. However, the specific regulations depend on where you live. You can call your local building department to find out how close to your property lines you’re legally allowed to build.

Pallet wood can withstand all kinds of outdoor weather conditions, which is part of why pallet fences are so appealing to DIY-ers. You can weatherproof the wood further before you paint or stain it, as well. Pallet fences are low-cost, easy to install, and can withstand sun and rain exposure without rotting.

The national average cost of a building permit is about $1,600, but this number includes extensive renovations. Homeowners typically spend between $150 and $2,000 in general on one or multiple permits for their project. Conversely, permits for simple projects, such as minor electrical renovations, could cost as little as $10.

Cedar and cypress are great wood choices for a window planter box because they’re readily available and won’t break the bank. However, there are plenty of wood types appropriate for a window flower box. Try using redwood for its natural resistance to rot, though it is on the expensive side.
