Ryan Davis came by to give me an estimate on our deck and he was very courteous, knowledgeable, and on-time. Out of all the contractors we looked at Ryan impressed us the most not only by his demeanor but also by the quote he provided. We already had an existing drawing that we worked on through a free on-line deck planner, so I had already done the math on the material cost and what I estimated for labor. Ryan came in right on the mark! It showed me that Davis Construction really knows their stuff and that sealed the deal. (Way better than other contractors who did some rough math on the spot and came in overpriced, Ryan did his homework after our meeting and emailed me the quote with a day or two.) Ryan got us on their work list and communicated with me the whole way through the process. Things like a call a few days before hand to let me know what their start date would be, getting permits, what to expect with demolition, haul away, and material delivery to my house. I also liked how Davis Construction handles their jobs. When they show up, they are all in until the job is done. They completed everything from demolition, to the final handrails and gates in just under 4 days! All of the workers that I saw were very professional and arrived on-time everyday with their foreman (I believe his name was Jim). The foreman was happy to talk with me before I left for work on what they planned to accomplish each day, asked me questions if they were unsure how I wanted something done, and even provided several suggestions that we hadn't considered (such as weed barrier and how to stagger deck boards). I let them figure our how to make the deck boards look good and they look great! The other thing I liked was that they really worked with us to make sure we got what we wanted. One example was how the railings should look, and the fact that I called Ryan during construction to add in a set of swinging/latching gates to each of the steps so we could keep out dog out on the deck with us. These things didn't take much time to discuss and really added a lot to our satisfaction of the end product. I have also had them replace some damaged siding for me and they matched it up very well, I can't notice a difference. I wouldn't hesitate for a minute to call Davis Construction again for my next project!

The project started January 21 and finished February 23. We had picked up some of the new items ourselves, but they picked up the vanity and all the tub-shower-toilet stuff from A.Y. McDonald's. Ben and Pete Schueller were the primary workers, and they both are excellent. They had to work around the painting and floor-laying, but it all worked out in the end. The tub and shower required taking down some old wall, so they had to put new wall up. They also had to take out the old in-wall medicine cabinet because the new one was flush with the wall. They installed a new light above the tub where there had been none, which required new wiring. They put a new four-light bar above the medicine cabinet. They had to build an improvised box to allow the lights to hang in front of the medicine cabinet shelf on top. They also had to fix a little problem with the front of the tub that wasn't rigid like it was supposed to be. Ben said he'd never seen one like that, but he knew just what to do. He even went with us to Menard's to select the trim and door casings and give us advice on the new lights. We couldn't be more pleased with the final outcome and would recommend Schueller and Sons Reconstruction to anyone.

My current handyman had taken up the floor in my laundry room down to the joists, because the room was an addition that had never been insulated properly under the flooring. I had the cavity under the floors spray foamed and my handyman was to then replace the floors afterward. He was unable to complete the flooring after insulation was done due to a death in the family. I contacted Rob Beau of Green Building Solutions after finding him on Craigslist and Angie's List and explained the situation that I needed someone to replace the floor in the next couple days because I had other work that had to be done in the basement which required walking across this particular floor. I explained what had been done and what needed done and Rob indicated he could move some things around to do this job for me.
I began having doubts as to Mr. Beau's knowledge when he stated he would be using a particular glue to hold down my vinyl floating floor and using this glue on the perimeter only, even though Menards and other contractors said this type of flooring had to either have no glue at all and "float" or have a special adhesive over the entire surface, not just perimeter. Mr. Beau mentioned several times he did things a different way - a way that would void the warranty of the floor and cause problems in the flooring down the road. When I finally voiced my concerns over this issue and stated I was having second thoughts, he stated "I'll do it whatever way you want it" even though he never used this type of adhesive before, and also made me feel guilty because, in his words "I pushed back another job to work you in and set aside the whole day for you". So, I decided to go through with using him even though I had concerns.
We met last evening for him to look over the job. I again had my doubts as to his competency after talking with him because he again wanted me to get the glue for doing the perimeter only and assured me everything would work out fine. He then rattled off a list of materials I needed to obtain for the job, which I found to be strange. I have never had a contractor tell me I had to go get all my own supplies for a job, but this one did. I understand picking out my flooring, but I had to wander all over Menards for other materials as well.
So...he said he would be down around 9:30, after he picked up the flooring from Menards.
At 10:30 he called to say he was running late. Claimed he was in another city and was on his way to Menards to get the floor and would be here in a little while. My agitation is growing.
By 12:30, Mr. Beau still had not shown up and I was extremely agitated with him at this point. I contacted Menards to let them know if he showed up for the flooring not to release it to him, but he had just picked it up. While still waiting for Mr. Beau to show up, I contacted a carpenter who was willing to come to finish the job and it was then I decided to wash my hands of Mr. Beau and his company. When he showed up at 1:00 finally, I handed him a check for $20 for his time in picking up the flooring and told him I was done. I told him I thought him to be very unprofessional to be 3.5 hours late and for someone who had set aside the "whole day" for me, he had wasted half of it already. I had no desire to work with him further. He took my check and walked away snickering and mumbling to his other worker

Aaron ripped out everything but the floor and the "new" bathroom door (this was the really nice feature of the previous remodel. It is an old confessional door from a church). He added some studs, put up insulation (there was none...brrr!), and drywalled the room (including the door to nowhere). The floor only covered about two-thirds of the space because the old cabinets and counter were built in. Aaron did a great job adding more tile (and we had extra tile left by previous owners) to complete the floor. He gave us the weekend to paint the empty room (although he would have painted if we wanted). Aaron came back Monday and did a superb job installing the vanity and toilet we had purchased, plus rehanging the original mirror/light. He had also put up the stained trim he'd worked on over the weekend at home. The trim now matches the confessional door. The door had never latched for us and in a few minutes Aaron was able to move part of the frame over so it now works. We love the way the bathroom looks and spent the next week walking in there just to admire the changes. Aaron is a complete professional and a really good guy. He was very careful and cleaned up after himself every day. We plan to have Aaron build a screened-in porch when the weather gets nice.

FAQs for treehouse building projects in Scales Mound, IL
The average cost to hire a handyman ranges from about $40 to $140 per hour. Average project cost ranges between $180 and $700, but the cost per hour and per project depends heavily on the type, size, and complexity of the project. The pro’s experience level and your location also factor into how much a handyman charges per hour or per project. You can also expect to pay higher rates or additional fees for emergency services, or around periods of high customer demand, like holidays.
One starting point to find a local home builder is to collect suggestions from friends and neighbors. However, it’s still wise to do some more research before you hire a builder. Read reviews to supplement any word-of-mouth recommendations. Check sources like Angi that have standards and criteria in place to screen the pros it lists can also help you find more reputable local home builders.
Typically, it’s more affordable to buy an existing home than it is to build a new one. New construction loan interest rates tend to be higher than interest rates for traditional mortgages. Additionally, the cost of materials is likely higher when building a new home than it was when an existing home was built (unless it’s a very new one). You’re also paying for all new appliances, finishes, permits, inspections, and connections for water, gas, and electricity.
Knowing if you need an architect for your project can be tricky, especially if you've never worked with one before. In general, small remodeling projects like replacing fixtures typically don't require the expertise of an architect. However, larger projects, like moving walls or adding an addition to your home, should include an architect to ensure the project is structurally sound.
The cost to build a detached garage for two cars costs about $26,400 on average. Prices range from $19,200 to $33,600, depending on your location, the garage size, height, materials, and site prep required. Additional cost factors include any plumbing, electrical wiring, and insulation. If you need to build a concrete foundation for a new detached garage, you can expect to pay $1,000 to $8,600 for this essential addition.
