"First, we agonized over leaving this review but feel obliged. We hired Adam Cullinare/Shamrock to: 1. Repaint kitchen cabinets. Was assured "glass like" finish. Not only are they not glass-like smooth, but are already peeling. Have to be redone. 2. Remove decorative wall @3 feet. He removed wall easily but unable to smooth out adjoining wall/ceiling or replace baseboard and flooring. The wall looked mangled; baseboard not replaced; and the floorboards he applied are nailed and glued together with wood caulk. Mind you, these are interlocking laminate floorboards that don't require glue/nails. Several nails protrude from floor. We and pet stepped on several times - it's like stepping on nails/puncture feet. 3. Paint job was inferior. Light coats, maybe to save on paint? Sloppy and slow job. We had to repaint all areas. 4. Quoted job as 2.5 week to finish. After 4 we let him go. Must have work redone. Not happy. Poor craftsmanship. Overstates abilities. Positive? He's nice guy."

We are a family owned business focusing on interior and exterior painting and finished carpentry services to fit all of your needs. Paying sharp attention to detail we are able to deliver on ALL customer needs and desires for each individual project.

"Job included minor drywall repair in kitchen soffit and to a lace ceiling, and painting of repairs (and two extra rooms and trim), and our entryway wall and trim as well as the stairway walls and trim (to the top of the stairs). The drywall repairs were seamlessly done, and the painting of the repairs and spraying of lace ceiling very good. We know that lace ceiling repairs are hard to match, but these are nearly flawless match. The painting of the other rooms (dining and parlor), were completed with the same professionalism, quality, and care for my property as the repairs in the kitchen. Mario was quick to respond to questions and very responsive with changes made at the last minute. The job took 3 days. I highly recommend Reyes Painting to everyone reading this review. I am very critical of work I pay for, and Reyes delivered."

Design/manufacture mantles/fireplaces or whatever the customer desires... you dream it, I create it! I don't compete, I am the competition! In business for 10 years, 18 years experience

"Joseph and his crew were very professional. They kept the work area clean and free of debris. They did a phenomenal job replacing my 65 years old siding. I would highly recommend them. They also had the best price of the estimates I obtained. Thank you Joseph. I will definitely use them for future projects."

We do vinyl siding , shingles, and metal roofing ,build garages and decks, All calls are welcome 24 hours a day if we don't answer please leave your name, number and a message, Thank you !!

"It's been a terrible experience. Two-thirds of the way into the project, the owner Chris Troyer, asked for the final payment in advance stating that he was having some financial difficulty. Against my better judgement I made the payment because he seemed trust worthy. He has not shown up since to complete the project which still requires all the siding, trim, gutters and doors to be installed. It is now over six months from the stated completion date on the contract. I filed a complaint with the Ohio Attorney General's Office but the contractor was unresponsive. I have now filed a breach of contract case in civil court. And the quality of the work completed is also questionable. See images: rough floor and a wall blew out during the concrete pour. Also, he filed for administrative dissolution for his LLC in 11/2021. So if you're signing any contract with Chris, it's not worth anything. Summary: stay clear of Midwest Residential and Chris Troyer."

Decks and Porches questions, answered by experts

If you notice standing water under the deck after rainstorms, you may need a drainage system to efficiently move this water. You do not want standing water to rest against your foundation or against support posts for the deck, as this could cause significant structural problems over time. Make sure the area has proper grading, too.

Building codes vary by location, and you should always consult local codes before planning construction. Generally speaking, however, railing requirements stipulate that decks more than 30 inches off the ground need railings for safety purposes. These railings usually need to be at least 36 inches tall, although California and Washington require rails to be 42 inches or taller.

To maximize the utility of space under a deck, it’s important to keep this area dry and clean. One way to prevent the area from becoming too wet is to install an under-deck draining system. This affordable home upgrade channels water away from the deck and provides usable space for storage or a functional area below a second-story deck. Not only will this be a useful maintenance upgrade, it can boost your home’s property value.

Wood rot is not normally covered by insurance except in rare cases when it results from a covered event like a burst pipe. Wood rot is categorized as gradual, preventable damage, so most insurance policies won’t pay for claims to repair wood rot damage. Check your policy to find out if wood rot is covered before making a claim. 

Spindles on a deck may also be called balusters or pickets. While not as important to the structural support of the deck as the rail posts, they play a critical role in ensuring the deck is safe to use by closing in large gaps in the railing. For this reason, balusters must be no more than 4 inches away from one another.
