"I met with Ariel Zmijewski to get a quote to side my house and garage and to install two new attic windows.  I'm a single woman and homeowner and I have encountered more than my share of contractors who tend to patronize me because I am a woman.  I called in several quotes for the siding job on my home and Ariel was the only one who treated me with genuine respect.  Of course, I wouldn't have hired him just based on that, but GF also offered a competitive price for the job as well as quality materials.   Ariel said it would take about six weeks to get the material and then they would schedule my job and after 5 weeks, Ariel called and said the material was in and would be delivered to my home in two days and they would begin the job the following Monday!  Ariel guesstimated the job would take about two weeks, but it actually wound up taking four weeks - the reason being they encountered a couple issues when siding my house.  I have an older home and it seems like anything I do in renovating my home causes issues - which is why I have learned it is very important to have competent contractors on the job and that is what I had with GF.  Though the job took longer than planned due to these issues, these issues were resolved with fluidity and the end result is amazing!  Neighbors and family have complimented me on the look of my home and also on the fellas doing the job - they were impressed at how detailed they were!  The crew doing my siding and windows were amazing - ask for Mike, Jeremy and Tom and you will NOT be disappointed.  These guys were not only professional in their behavior but real nice down to earth guys!  I had a lot of detail work on my front porch and they took great pains to ensure everything looked nice.  I baked cookies and had chips and water and pop for them one day and gave them money to buy lunch for themselves another day and really wished I could have done more - these guys work great together!   And, Ariel came out to check out the work and monitored the job until it was done.  He always returned my phone calls promptly and never acted like I was bothering him.  I am going to get the remaining windows replaced on my home in the near future and will happily be using Ariel and GF to do the job!

"My husband and I own two small income properties in Chicago.  One is a inherited 3-flat, the other a 2-flat in which we have lived for over 30 years.  We are not "land barons" by any means.  This year has been a horrible year for things going very wrong at both of these 100+ year old properties.  I am thankful I found Hansen Bros to help us out, especially because we are in our 60's and it's hard to find reliable, trustworthy contractors who won't take advantage.  Bob Hansen meets all of those needs, which is why I have gone back to him for jobs ever since his first job for me in May, 2014. 
The first job he did was a major repair to the open back porch structure and decking at the inherited 3-flat.  I called him in a panic when a neighbor noticed serious structural problems with the porch structure.  Bob came out to assess the situation immediately and provided a very reasonable quote for the repairs.  He began and finished all the repairs within a week at a very reasonable cost of approximately $4,000 - a very good price given the extent of the repairs.  Needless to say he eased my mind and took a huge burden off of me.
Less than two months later in July, we noted structural problems with the enclosed back porch structure at the 2-flat where we live. I again called Bob and he came out immediately to make an assessment.  He provided a very reasonable quote which I accepted. Bob and crew were out within a week to make the repairs.  Along the way, Bob made solid recommendations to do the repairs in the most cost-effective manner.  Those recommendations included replacing the 30-year-old back porch windows with new, smaller windows that would provide additional structural support to the back porch and be easier to clean since they are tilt-in windows.  Because of his recommendation, he was able to install the new windows to both floors of the porch without having to remove and replace all of the exterior vinyl siding.  The end result was a stronger structure, more functional windows, and a much-improved appearance.
Since then we have also contracted Hansen Brothers to make plumbing repairs to both buildings - all at a moment's notice.  He has also painted our ugly purple back porch (it's been that color since we bought the building 30+ years ago) to a pleasing neutral beige color, making the porch so much brighter.  Bob's next job for us begins on Oct 15th when he will replace and repair our seriously leaking garage roof. 
In sum, we have found Hansen Bros to be very fair with their pricing, and they are honest, trustworthy and reliable.  Bob Hansen actually returns phone calls, and promptly!  They do what they say they will do and when they say they will do it.  What more could you ask for?  We are happy we found Bob and cannot recommend him highly enough.

"I obtained several quotes. Benchmark was at least $100 less than the 4 other quotes for the same door with windows, t-handle/lock, and installation/disposal.  I received a call back from John W. within 30 minutes of my initial voice mail at 4:30 on Good Friday which was totally unexpected. The following Tuesday morning I called him to say we wanted to go ahead. He came out around 4:30 that day for measurements and to sign the paperwork. I wanted a Saturday appointment since my husband would be home  to remove some canoes and kayaks we stored in the garage so the installer could access the garage door tracks. John was able to schedule us for that coming Saturday morning. He would have been able to come within a couple days if that would have worked for us. On Saturday morning the installer showed up promptly. My husband had a slow start that morning and had not moved much out of the garage by the time the installer arrived. The installer was able to work around everything (which my husband's choice, not something Benchmark recommended just in case a tool got dropped on our kayak). The job was done within a couple hours, the old door and parts were hauled away, and it looks and functions great.
John is very nice, professional, and did not pressure me into buying something I didn't want or need.  Overall the transaction went very smoothly from start to finish. I would highly recommend Benchmark for a garage door installation.

"I had to rent a dempster and throw away my old decking myself. Did not know that I had to to take the measurements that he gave me to Home Depot myself, which I had to make several visit about 5. He said I went over in hours so it was about 500.00 I did not know until he was completed. I don’t have a rail to hold on to to get up the steps. I will ask multiple questions before I buy a deal again."

"Based on our past experience with AOM (interior painting), we used them to powerwash our home. They had all the appropriate equipment and did an excellent job. Our 20 year old vinyl siding looks totally refreshed. David is easy to work with and goes the extra mile. We will continue to AOM for future projects.

Pole Barn Builders questions, answered by experts

You can use a variety of wood to build a barn door, but the most common options include 1-by boards and 2-by boards for the backing and the decorative boards on the front of the door. Softwoods like pine will save you some money and should hold up well, while hardwoods like maple and oak will stand up to more wear and tear. You could also build the backer out of plywood to minimize the cuts you need to make. Whatever you decide on, make sure the width of the wood is compatible with the mounting brackets you buy.

Trex is not stronger than wood, but it lasts longer than wood and is heavier. Trex holds up well to the elements and is resistant to termites thanks to its resilient composition of plastic, reclaimed wood, and sawdust. Trex decking is rot and warp-resistant, making it especially useful in areas that experience a lot of snow and rain.

You don’t typically need a permit to build a shed, but it’s best to check with your local city clerk to make sure before you start the project. Every town, city, and municipality can have different rules when it comes to any home improvement project. Homeowners associations sometimes have restrictions on the materials you can use on your property as well.

While a romantic getaway in a vacation treehouse may sound appealing, building one to live in year-round comes with more challenges. However, a growing number of people are adopting this small-scale living approach to appreciate an off-the-grid, private lifestyle. It allows you to feel closer to nature in a sustainable, customizable, minimalist, and eco-friendly way.

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.
