"Remodel went extremely well even with material delays (not ordered through Rowe construction.) They were able to pivot and work on different areas of this extensive remodel. This crew showed up every day and notified us if they were not going to come or if they were delayed.They also pointed out and/or were able to troubleshoot areas of design that wouldn’t look aesthetically pleasing. In addition, they cleaned up the interior each day and regularly picked up construction waste placed in the garage during this process."

C V Hardwood Flooring Co is a flooring contractor that offers about 25 years of experience and provides sub-floor installation, wood floor polishing, linoleum flooring and more to Chicago and the surrounding neighborhoods.

"Vasile is the best. Dedicated, hard-working, great at communicating, and honest. He's a master at his craft and we couldn't be happier with the results of his work. He and his team removed carpet from the upstairs of our home and refinished the original maple hardwood floors. They ran into a couple of challenges along the way, one example being large missing sections in each room where the original floor vents had been which they replaced with old maple that blends seamlessly. They handled everything with great care and attention to detail and the floors look amazing now. We are so thankful we found Vasile and cannot recommend him highly enough. He really cares about his craft and takes the time to get it right. He also seems like a really kind person, good-humored and pleasant to work with. His assistant Ed was great too."

"George Krinninger & Sons deserves your business. They were phenomenal and I would use them again if I ever needed to have a door installed. When we were looking to have our front and back doors replaced, we went to Menards to look at doors. While we were there, a sales associate recommended we reach out to one of their preferred contractors, George Krinninger & Sons, to assist us with replacing the doors. We did and it was the best decision. We worked with Mike and he was incredible. He was very knowledgeable, responsive, and walked us through the whole process. He even went out of his way to go with us to the store to help us pick out the right doors. When it came time for the installation, he showed up right on time, was incredibly professional, and a pleasure to chat with. When the project was done, he left the work area spotless and walked us through any features the doors/locks had. The quality of his work and the experience we had with George Krinning & Sons really speaks for itself. We highly recommend you use them."

Replacing challenging roofs and FIXING STUBBORN COMPLEX LEAKS -- is our passion! More info at www.swistun.com (flat TPO roofs, shingle, cedar, composite, slate, copper or tile roofs). All projects are managed by the owner from beginning to the end including his extensive personal supervision. Our labor force consists of hands-on managed subcontractors (or often subcontractor’s selected crew members). Requested estimates may carry an up-front charge, some may be offered for free. We apologize for any inconvenience.

"We moved into a newer home that was just about 10 years old but had issues with major ice damming and icicles due to heavy snow. This led to water damage inside of the house as the ice was melting and making its way inside our home. I had multiple quotes from several roofing outfits and they just eyeballed the situation and wanted to simply re-do the flashing. Most did the assessment from the street without going on the roof. None offered a guarantee. I came across Swistun on the net and found that they required a fee to assess the issue. I was a bit hesitant but went ahead anyways and i am very glad i did. The owner Casey came out and spent time not only on the roof but also inside of the attic to see what the cause might be. An assessment was made and a very detailed and illustrated solution/proposal was created with several options including ones with guaranteed no-leak options. Construction was done last summer and Casey was there for the majority of the work done. His crews were on time and kept the grounds clean. It was completed within the time frame since weather cooperated with us. He also took care of a gutter leak for free while he had his crew out. Everything looked great in the end as he had to do some construction to widen an exit of my roof valley to provide better drainage. After completion, Casey even stopped by after a heavy rain just to make sure things were draining correctly and made some adjustments to correct a potential issue. Mind you, this was after i paid the bill so it wasn't something i was expecting as a followup. You can tell he has a passion for problem solving. The big test was the following winter. Even after the early winter snowstorm that dropped an incredible amount of snow in a short period of time, the icicles and ice dams never formed. The solution worked brilliantly well! Also on a side note, the process was very easy throughout the entire project as Lori is the main contact person in his office and is very easy to communicate with. Casey is also very responsive. Wish all companies worked in this manner! I wouldn't consider them a bargain comparing to a regular roofer. However, if you want your roof leak situation fixed correctly, this is the way to do it! Swistun is a class act from start to finish!"

Woodworking questions, answered by experts

It’s much less expensive to build a house with wood. This is because wood is relatively inexpensive, strong enough to endure decades or even centuries of weathering and pressure, and is easier to replace if there are issues. The cost of stone houses are incredibly expensive, heavy, time-consuming to build, and difficult to repair. 

In many cases, yes, you’ll need building permits for a carport. The exact laws and regulations depend on where you live, but generally speaking, you’ll need a building permit for any carport that will be permanently affixed to the ground. Premade carports sometimes don’t require planning permission or permits, but standalone and attached carports usually do. We recommend you contact your local building department to find out before beginning any carport project.

DIY is possible, but professional construction ensures structural integrity and proper anchoring.

Carports can actually increase property value. It often only increases the value by a few %, but the value can increase if you design your carport thoughtfully and with an eye for utility. For instance, a carport with storage space or a workshop will be more valuable than one without it.

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.
