"Oh we can't say enough about Rueben and his crew.. the work was top notch and talk about craftsmanship, there is no comparison.. we were on a budget and they came through and made everything work. We had a sunroom and bath added to our h ome and we just love them. The crew of guys were always very polite and just a great group of young men doing the best job we could of imagined. Ruben was always on top of the job, making sure things were done right. He came every day to check on his crew and asked if we had any concerns. So on that note if you need any construction on your home or business give this company a call, you won't be sorry."

"David gave me what I thought was a fair price for the work to be done. He asked for 1/2 up front. As a previous small business owner I did not feel this was unreasonable so I paid him 500.00. He estimated the work would take 3 to four days and I thought the same. After several no shows the "mason" showed up. The first clue was he came in a car. According to my wife he was here 2 hours and left, came back for another 2 hours the next day and left again. He said nothing to my wife about leaving or when he would be back. David called a day later to ask about coming out to look over the job and get the rest of the other 500.00. I said he isn't finished and he's only been here 4 hours. So then I looked up the prevailing wage in IL for a mason and found out it is 28.50 an hour. The next day the guy comes back for another 3 hours. David came to look at the work and I walked him around and showed him all of the places that had not been done. So the guy comes back again for about an hour. All told it was 8 hours work, nothing to write home about but it was agreed up front that I wasn't looking for an exposed brick look. I need it tuck pointed well enough so that I could drylock and paint the exposed brick. I will say this was done in the end. The worker left a mess that I and my wife had to clean up, I pointed this out to David as well. I told him I felt he was overly paid for the amount of work preformed and that was the end of it. It's really to bad. It's difficult to get contractors to do small jobs and I had plenty for him to do. I'm not unhappy, just would not hire again"

"Axiom did a fantastic job on our kitchen remodel, which involved adding an extension on the small existing kitchen and adding a new pantry and a new bathroom downstairs. They remodeled our upstairs bathroom too. All well done. The new kitchen is gorgeous. (Those pics of the kitchen with navy blue cabinets, white counters, and bamboo floors-that's ours.) We love it. So does everyone who sees it. Still can't believe how great it turned out. We have an old home (built ca. 1910) that needs a ton of work. The old kitchen had to be completely gutted. Extension, additional structural supports, a door moved, new windows added. And a new floor right down to the joists. The whole thing. It was a huge, complicated job. I talked to several contractors as well as a designer and structural engineer so I knew a bit of what we were getting into. So I was looking for a company I could really work with and trust. Axiom came through. The owners really care about doing high quality work. The company eliminates many of the problems people often have with contractors (like never being to get an answer back or know what's going on with the job) because one partner handles the logistics / materials ordering, and the other manages the construction site. One or the other got back to me right away whenever I asked a question, and they kept me posted about what was going on. We ran into some unexpected (and expensive) problems-that's an old house for you! But they let me know what was going on immediately so I could make decisions about what needed to be done and keep an eye on my budget. The construction manager also has a great sense of design. He really helped me figure out how to make the space work. (Ended up using his ideas more than anything the designer had given me. Glad I did.) Their entire crew was great too. Helpful. Polite. Got the job done. And dealt with any problem that came up."

"Tabitha is very professional, very reasonably priced and takes pride in her work. We are very pleased with completed project. We are so happy we took a chance with this company. ( We had the main floor of my home repainted last .year using a different company and paid alot more for a very sloppy job. We scraped paint specks off our kitchen floor for months). Tabitha painted around my furnishings and over brand new carpet and not one speck of paint was left on my belongings. :-) She is prompt and very easy to work with. She assisted us in picking the right colors for our rooms our rooms are absolutely beautiful. I wish I had known about this company last year. WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS COMPANY.

"We hired SAL to install new ceramic tile floors in our hall bath, master bath, & master hallway. They also put in new 3/4 cherry hardwood floors in my master bedroom. The craftsmanship was immaculate. He shows up on time, worked on my job everyday till it was done, cleaned up at the end of the day, & most importantly was very respectful to me & my family. I am so pleased with the work that I would recommend SAL to everyone!!!! Great work, great price, great guy!!!

"I contacted World Painting after CertaPro dropped out of sight.  We quickly got an appointment with them and they were ready to give us a bid that day.  The price was reasonable and it included power washing, caulking, and painting our porch floor along with the entire house.
They were able to start within the week and kept us updated through out the project, letting us know what was the next step and when it would be completed.  Customer service was excellent.  When I had a question they called me back within the hour. 
They did an amazing job and we have gotten tons of compliments on it.  We would definitely use them again.

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Yes, you will need a jack for a rim joist replacement. To prevent sagging and facilitate the removal of load-bearing wood, you’ll need to relieve the pressure from this joint before beginning work. 

Due to hydraulics and other specialized equipment, a sill plate and rim joist replacement are not typically a DIY project. Hiring a professional structural engineer and experienced contractors is the best approach to replacing rotted sill plates and rim joists.

Joists do distribute their load to beams, but they don’t sit on top of the beams. Instead, home builders nail or screw the joists directly to the beams such that the end of the joist butts up against the edge of the beam. Beams can sit on other beams for support, but you’ll never see a joist sitting on top of a beam or another joist.

In framing, studs are placed at 16-inch intervals to coincide with the typical spacing of wall materials such as drywall or plywood. This spacing is called "on-center" and is necessary for maintaining structural stability and efficient use of materials. The 16-inch spacing also helps to distribute the weight evenly across the building's structure. For those looking to cut material costs and improve energy efficiency, 24-inch stud spacing can be employed through a method called "advanced framing". This requires careful planning and adherence to local building codes to ensure structural integrity.

Enhances property value, ensures safety, and provides a sound basis for future construction.

When choosing a drywall anchor, consider the weight of the object you're hanging and how much weight the anchor will need to support. The heavier the weight, the stronger the anchor you'll need. You’ll find the weight capacity on the packaging when shopping for anchors. 

Also, remember that you can use more than one anchor when hanging something on the wall. If you're using multiple anchors, divide the object weight by the number of anchors to determine how much each will need to support. If you need help deciding which drywall anchor to use, you can hire a handyperson to hang your objects.
