"I never contacted the provider or used this service in anyway. I have to
write this review so that the request to write this review stops
popping up.
The rating is bogus as it is required to be able to submit.

"Once I sent her all the measurements, it took her a little while to get the options back to me.  Overall, they're good designs.  However, they're very simplistic and give general ideas for space planning.  I was hoping to have a better idea for sizes of furniture for the space and some variations on staging.  
Jill was very responsive when I did have a question.  I'm not sure how helpful it is to have a virtual design done.  If we lived in similar cities, I'd probably use her again for help with additional designs.

"Chad Morrow contacted me after I requested a quote on Angi. He was very personable, professional and easy to work with. He provided a timely quote and only required a minimal down payment to secure a start date. His crew was very polite and did outstanding work. Chad visited the site twice during the week long project to make sure we were satisfied. I was impressed that Morrow Builders took the job as it was a relatively small project, though it did require demo, electrical, drywall, paint and carpentry. I highly recommend Morrow Builders as a trustworthy contractor that does excellent work."

"Mr. Cooper was well experienced and very knowledgeable in all facets of home improvement work and technologies. He was responsible, reliable, dependable, honest and punctual. All his work was done in a highly professional manner. I would highly recommend him for any work that one may employ him in doing. His skills and capabilities go far beyond handyman work. It was truly an honor for me to employ him to complete the work as he is a fellow U.S. Army Veteran!! When hiring Mr. Cooper; YOU ARE HIRING THE VERY BEST!!!!"

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Begin by analyzing the blueprints and gathering the proper materials before framing a house. With the prep stages behind you, begin by framing the floor of a house on the newly set foundation. Exterior and interior walls come next, along with rough openings for doors and windows. Contractors will then add ceiling and roof rafters to finish things off. 

Carpenters are trained to take on a wide range of home projects. You can hire a carpenter to do framing, roofing, build custom furniture, and make significant upgrades to your home. General carpenters are usually able to handle most jobs. However, you may also choose to hire a carpenter who specializes in a specific type of carpentry. 

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.

Not all porch columns are load-bearing, though they can be. Some porch columns are simply decorative. There are ways to identify a load-bearing column, like looking for visible seams and a foundation. Also, check to see if the column directly enters the ground. In some porch installations, a contractor will excavate a hole to install a column into the earth along with a buried cement base for stability.

Homeowners can increase the usefulness of their garage space in other ways, and one option is to extend the length of the garage by making it deeper. The process is similar to traditional garage extensions, but the end product is a garage with a different layout rather than additional parking spaces.
