We looked at a home built by Scott, liked it, talked with one of the subs working on it who also did work for high-end builders in the area. He was very complimentary of SBB. We met with Scott, felt he was straight-forward, honest, and low-key. We did not check any references. Works by himself with small crews only. We found an existing home we really liked, got a fairly detailed floorplan, and went to work. Contract for new home construction signed in late June 2011. Thought we might be in by Christmas 2011. Ended up moving into home in late June 2012, and that was pushing it. There were obviously multiple delays, poor timely communication between SBB and us, inadequate carpenters (i.e. not enough available), and in general we felt that we had to act as our own general contractor for many things: installed water purification system, researched water quality issues, arranged for all countertops, arranged for glass enclosures in baths, trouble-shot problems, felt that poor design eye was present in some areas (e.g. master bathroom toilet room not big enough to enter and close door without doing callisthenics around the door), poor collaboration between windows/door/trim supplier with multiple errors, atrocious painter with very poor quality (we will need to repaint the entire trim inside of the home), multiple inside projects that we simply let go of just so we could finish the job and move in. Multiple delays experienced in setting the move-in date. Did speak with a previous customer of same builder later in the process, and her account and experience was identical to ours. Overall, SBB is good quality for an average spec home. Would not recommend for any extensive custom work. Process was very difficult to endure. We had to constantly monitor the process, we requested all meetings instead of the builder, and generally felt exhausted by it all. However, Scott is a very honest man, does not cheat his customers, uses only trustworthy subs, and unfortunately these are in short supply and thus affected our experience. He was fair on price given the above problems. Would recommend SBB for projects that are already planned out to the very last detail, and expect to do a lot of the work ahead of time.

It turns out my door was out of balance and needed to be rebalanced. She indicated that she could tell me how to increase the opening force but that would most likely lead to premature replacement of the opener unit. At my request she provided me with the names of two \"local\" overhead door companies, neither of which was Springfield Overhead Door. I called one of those companies and, well, my experience with them was poor, they didn't balance my door..they actually told me that my springs were bad and could not be replaced and recommned that I buy a new door from them for \"about $1,056\" ..so I ended up calling Springfield Overhead Door. When I called Springfield Overhead Door, I talked to a very knowledgable young lady who arranged my service appointment. The technician arrived on time, weighed my door, replaced my springs, lubricated the tracks and even repaired the wires to one of my safety eyes that I had accidently broken the day before.

They need to explain a little more about what electrical companies mark and if the homeowner knows of anything else electrical added. When they hit my drain field pipes, they were going to cover it up instead of discussing issues with the homeowner about repairing it properly. If an issue...

We hired Molly Maid to clean our house before we moved in and even signed up for their move-in cleaning service. They were going to get everything clean before we moved in as the previous family had pets and multiple kids. So we had them come clean the day we closed on the house. This way...

"We ordered a window from them the end of April. The beginning of June they came to put the window in. They had ordered the wrong size. The said that they would rush order it and we would have it in a month. After waiting a month and not hearing from them, we called to find out when the window would be put in and they said that they would check and get back with us. After many more calls we were told that the window wouldn't be in until July 23rd. We requested a refund and after many more calls were told that they don't give refunds.

Not usually. Laminates are made from plastic materials, traditionally melamine, so they don’t offer any eco-friendly or green benefits. Melamine itself is infamous for its toxic composition and outgassing over time, so if you’re looking for a green counter option, it’s best to avoid laminates. Additionally, laminates aren’t candidates for recycling during disposal.
The exception to this rule are certain kinds of laminates with core materials made from recycled pulp and chaff, but these aren’t always available as countertops and still typically use at least some plastic.
If you find that the laminate boards are chipping as you cut, you can try flipping the board upside down and cutting the backside first. You can also make a small cut to the top of the board before flipping it and cutting it from the backside. If these strategies do not work, you can place painter’s tape along the edge of the cut to prevent chipping. It is also possible that the saw blade is dull and needs to be replaced.
The question of which material is better comes down to personal preference. Formica is a popular brand of laminate countertops known for its durability and affordability. Due to its brand recognition, Formica is slightly more expensive than generic laminate countertops, but with that brand name comes a certain standard of quality.
If you notice stains or cracks on your counter, the good news is that you can generally remove stains or learn how to repair laminate countertops yourself. For stains, a mixture of one tablespoon of baking soda and a few tablespoons of water left on the stain for about 10 minutes can remove them. For cracks, use a laminate repair or fill kit.
The best blades for cutting laminate are carbide laminate-cutting blades. These blades have horizontal teeth rather than teeth that point upward and cut on the upward stroke. Cutting on the upward stroke, which is how wood blades work, can chip the laminate. Laminate-cutting blades also tend to have more teeth than wood blades, reducing the chances of chipping the countertop.
