Q: Can professionals match repairs to existing frame styles?

• <div><p>Yes, ensuring seamless integration with the rest of the window unit.</p></div>

Q: Is it better to frame with nails or screws?

• <div><p>When deciding whether to use nails or screws for framing, the specific needs of the project must be taken into account. Nails have long been the go-to option for framing due to their affordability, ease of installation, and ability to withstand shear forces. They are perfect for structural framing projects where fast assembly is essential. In contrast, screws offer exceptional holding power and are particularly useful in situations requiring increased strength and resistance to pull-out forces. For projects that prioritize accuracy and long-lasting quality, screws may be the preferred option, though nails remain a dependable and efficient choice.</p></div>

Q: What do I do if I don't have a stud finder?

• <div><p>There are a few easy ways to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-find-stud-in-wall.htm">locate a wall stud without a stud finder</a>. First, try knocking on the wall with your knuckles. Most parts of the wall will sound hollow, but when you tap over a stud, it will sound more solid. Alternatively, since studs are spaced 16 or 24 inches apart, you can measure those distances from a corner of the room, which will always have a stud. </p></div>

Q: Can a bowed wall be straightened?

• <div><p>Yes, a bowed wall can be straightened in several ways. If the bowing is minimal, it can often be straightened by installing anchors or straps. For more severe basement wall bowing, your contractor might need to excavate the soil outside the foundation and pull the wall back into its original position to straighten it.</p></div>

Q: What happens if you don't fix nail pops?

• <div><p>If nail pops in your drywall aren't fixed, there can be consequences to the structure of your home and the aesthetics of the room. Nail pops may loosen or weaken drywall and may be less effective at providing support and insulation, ultimately requiring more extensive repairs or replacement in the future. If not fixed, the blemish will become increasingly unsightly over time, potentially leading to further damage as raised areas easily catch on objects or clothing. </p></div>

If I could give ZERO stars to this company I would. Be aware! Where do I even start? We had a LOT of issues with Design Plus, their sales person and part owner; Laurie, and their contractor. They are quick to demand payment, but offer poor service, absolutely no follow-up/communication and lack...

At first things were a little slow as Mr. Thornton has some other things he was wrapping up. He is pretty much a one man show with a part time helper, so while things didn't move quickly, Mr. Thornton did work weekends to try to keep ahead of pace. Due to the relentlessly bad weather, we were...

"This is a great company. Garrett and his entire crew were pleasant and very easy to work with. They were prompt and always let me know when they would arrive and what they would be doing that day. They worked continually until the job was done. The project was absolutely perfect in every way. I will definitely use them again for my next project."
