"We dealt with the owner, Mark Spencer, directly. The process was virtually seamless from start to finish. It was very reassuring to work with the owner. He knows a ton about windows and home improvements in general (as also a general contractor). He was more interested in finding out what we wanted than selling us on anything in particular. That was a breath of fresh air for sure after looking at some other companies that send sales people to your door. A lot was riding on this purchase, so we were glad to work with someone that knew what they were doing. We decided on his company because of his experience and knowing that the relationship was important to him so he would take care of us. We made a great choice. During installation his crew was very experienced and professional. I felt comfortable having these guys around the house. I had planned to work from home, but after talking to them a little bit I just left them with my cell number and told them to let me know if they needed anything. My wife was in and out through the whole project. They finished most of the inside of our house on the first day (getting the windows actually installed). They completed the big bow window and the sliding door on the second day and finished up the metal work the next morning. When they were gone you would have never known they had ever been there...other than the brand new windows. They were fantastic! Our house was built in 1982 and our old windows were our driving source of energy inefficiency. We did online research for almost a year (on and off) and when we got serious we had a couple of companies over. One thing I learned is that a lot of window companies use the exact same manufacturer to build their windows, they just slap their name tag on them (and they can tweak the design...most likely for style...and the prices for the same windows vary like you wouldn't believe). One company in particular was trying to sell us on the foam and metal material used for installation (claiming their stuff was the best). I later found out that Mark's company was using the exact same materials. In the end, I highly recommend Legacy Window & Door. No gimmicks and a great product! "

"The owner came to our Terre Haute home to offer a free estimate, along with suggestions on how we could get the best use out of the space and options for construction. He was flexible and offered to bid the project with different options and combinations. The work began in a timely manner by workers who were prompt, courteous and productive. Apart from electricity, they required nothing of us and went about their business. The result was a lovely sunroom that my wife and I can enjoy year round. The construction was solid and attractive, adding value to the home.
There was one small glitch, in that they sub-contracted the gutters out to another small company. We went through two torrential rains before we could get them out to complete the work. We were able to contact Barrier and they got the contractor to come out and finish the job, which when finished, was nicely done.
My wife and I are very pleased with the entire experience. These guys were not the cheapest around, but if you want quality work, it is well worth having them do the job."
No matter what you need done I'm the one that can do it all! Years of hands on experience with just about everything from you family's home to mechanical work to you automobiles! There is no job to small and every task performed is backed with a 1 year warranty! I like to come up with an agreement with the customer on a price. When I start a job I finish it before starting anything else. I have let homeowners make payments before the labor is done for bigger jobs like a new roof. I like to help people out by not charging crazy prices. I'm your right hand hangman honest and reliable.
"When we decided to redo our kitchen in April of 2012, we knew what we wanted fixed, our budget and that's about it. We started talking to contractors, kitchen design centers and researching ideas. We quickly realized we were in WAY over our heads. A lot of places offer free design services if you buy all of your materials through them. We didn't want to be tied down. We didn't want a complete tear down to the studs, either. Homemade Design to the rescue! First of all the price was an absolute steal for the service provided. Amanda and co. Listened to what we wanted and came up with inovative,functional and beautiful solutions. Our house is old. We wanted to keep that 1920s feel, but still have a dishwasher, granite countertops and stainless appliances! Amanda had the brilliant idea of only replacing the bottom cabinets. She also gave me excellent instructions on how to refinish my existing cabinets so they look like new. This was a perfect solution for US. Homemade Design gave us ideas for layout, cabinets, lighting, wall paint, appliances, furniture, countertops, backsplash, faucets, sink,and cusions for built in. She would have recommended flooring if we wanted,but we didn't. Now, Amanda is more like a consultant...( I actually called her my kitchen remodel therapist). You still are ultimately responsible for the plan and what works for you. If your measurements are off (like mine were) that's on you. I was adament about no island and no microwave over the stove and so she didn't put those in the design. Some suggestions were not my style. And I said so. Honestly, if I picked out my own kitchen it would be so safe: white subway tile or something. Amanda gave me the guts to mix patterns and create something spectacular! It took almost a year to complete ( contractors fault) We did a lot of work ourselves. We bought the cabinets, backsplash tile, light fixtures, table and banquette cusions through Homemade Design at a great discount, we checked!! If you try shopping for any part of your kitchen, the volume of choices can be overwhelming. We loved having Amanda narrow it down for us. Communication was through email, mostly. She never took longer than three business days to respond to my million questions or concerns. Awesome. 5 months later, my kitchen is a dream come true. And I owe it all to Homemade Design! "
You may need a permit to install your window seat. Even though it's an indoor modification, some municipalities require permits for any built-ins added to homes. Check with your carpenter or, if you're DIY-ing, do some research on your city's requirements.
It's possible to turn your carport into a living space, but there are additional factors to address over turning it into a garage. HVAC, plumbing, and electricity won't be optional, and you'll need finished flooring, drywall, trim work, and legal ceiling height, for starters. Also, keep in mind that living space conversions may require upgrading the foundation underneath, and the permits might be more expensive as well.
Using a steel frame may raise the value of your home. Steel is more heat resistant, has better longevity, and doesn’t need any upkeep compared to traditional wood. You can also customize a steel build a little easier than other materials like brick, concrete, and vinyl—which have trouble bending and adapting to renovations.
The easiest way to tell if a wall is load bearing is to check if it’s an exterior wall or if it runs perpendicular to the joists above and below it (or parallel to beams). Exterior walls are almost always load-bearing, and walls that run under beams or parallel to them are also usually load-bearing. There are exceptions to these rules, and walls that don’t fit into these categories can still be load-bearing. If you’re unsure, hire a structural engineer to look at your home to assess whether or not the wall is structural.
There are a few easy ways to locate a wall stud without a stud finder. 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.
