"I could not be happier with the final product! The first pic is the old bathroom from the 60s when the house was built. The rest are the final rebuild and it looks great. I would highly recommend VMK Remodeling for any project that you might have. I am also going to get a bid on redoing the deck on the back of the house as Vince's company does decks as well! Thanks to his great crew as well, great people to work with."

We could not be happier with the service and installation of all of the services listed above.  We had a family reunion in October 2014 and Wade and his team made our home look spectacular for our event.  We are still so pleased with the job. The weed barrier is incredible.  We have not had to weed any of our areas that he installed the barrier on.  What a treat!!  We would highly recommend him to anyone needing work done on their home.  We are going to have him install a stamped concrete driveway this spring.  We can't wait to see it and how it transforms the look of our house.

"They were a second contractor we got pricing from and they proposed doing the job in a way that greatly reduced cost. They were prompt, professional, and picked up our toilet and sink from Lowes. They kept things clean during the work and it looked good when they finished."

"We chose General Construction Services after receiving a number of bids from local contractors that priced the cost of finishing our basement & building a deck at a much higher level than what Dennis at General Construction Services offered. Not only was the cost of the construction affordable, we were very impressed with the outcome. The deck is a great addition to our home and the quality of the finished basement met the expectation of matching the style, color and feel of the rest of the house. Lastly, Dennis' crew is professional and courteous. We recommend General Construction Services for all of your construction needs--they are affordable, professional, and produce a high quality product"

"We started with a misunderstanding: I requested a *full* electrical inspection - meaning *all* outlets throughout the house. Given the very quick response, and given I had gone through Angie's List to request service, I realized after our discussion that Eric probably didn't get what I was actually asking for. On the appointment day, Pete called to say he was on his way for our "panel inspection". After clarifying what I was looking for, Pete said he would get with Eric and work something out. When Pete arrived, he said that Eric would let him inspect 5 outlets and the panel. Pete inspected 2 outlets, found issues, and repaired them both. He then checked the panel, and charged me $150 for the extent of his work. I am okay with that, since he did repairs, not just inspections. Pete suggested that I just get repairs, as needed, rather than a full house inspection, as we have a *lot* of outlets! I felt that Pete was very professional and thorough. I will consider his suggestion, and when I need repairs, I will definitely call Anytime Electric to perform them!"

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Yes, a 2x6 should hold a porch swing and safely support the load. A smaller joist runs the risk of it not offering enough support for the swing. If you have a joist smaller than 2x6, add additional bolstering support.

By careful planning and reinforcement to maintain structural integrity.

Yes, you can find ceiling joists using simple tools if a stud finder isn't available.

Using a hammer requires patience and a keen ear. Gently tap the ceiling in a grid pattern, listening for sound changes. A hollow sound indicates space between joists, while a solid, dull thud suggests a joist. Mark the location with a pencil and confirm by tapping from different angles.

Alternatively, you can use a nail, but this method will leave small holes. You'll feel increased resistance when the nail hits a joist. Mark the spot and repeat the process every 16 or 24 inches to map the joist locations. This method is considered less reliable than using a stud finder.

Installing a tongue-and-groove wall requires similar techniques to those associated with installing shiplap. However, because of the precision necessary to make each board fit perfectly and the increased material prices, the cost is higher than that of shiplap installations. Expect to spend between $2 and $6 more per square foot for tongue-and-groove walls versus shiplap ones.

Framing most homes takes anywhere between five and eight weeks to complete. You’ll need to account for inclement weather conditions, material shipment times, the number of crew members, and the weight of your materials. If the weather is too hot, wet, or cold for the installation, this process could take closer to eight weeks.
