"Mr Ammons returned my call promptly and came out to looked at the job.  I explained that the house was currently being painted and I needed to get the work done before the painters finished.  He quoted me an estimate and stated that he would get started the upcoming weekend.  He did the work in a timely manner as promised.  He stayed in touch with me throughout the job and let me know when he found any issues.  I will use him again in the future.

"First off I would like to say it's fine to talk a good story and make yourself look like you are the best But you have to back that up. I don't think this is outfit a good value for the money spent because . First off they are charging a $75 an hour rate I was expecting Casey to first come out and look at the job as he said he would. He called instead with an excuse . The second day the day of the job . I expected him to come out at 10am his crew arrived at 8am like he said before but he showed up late in the afternoon saying that it was his daughter's birthday . He knew that when he told me he would come to begin with. Secondly he sent a good installer but with a helper which was his son who stayed on the phone arguing with his girlfriend telling that he had a date to go on. Now I dont know about you but $75/ hr is good money and I expected him to finish as he bragged he could do . Well he was fixing the previous installers mess up but I at least expected them to finish today which again he offered excuses at least he could have came out today himself of that is what the job required . I hired yet the 3rd installer today but I have spent alot more than this job is worth and I still dont have my cameras installed . He expects his workers to make agreements with the customers and I expect for a contractor to be responsible for a job at the rate of $75 / hour not only did he not have the materials as he told me the day before that they were loading a truck for a worst case scenario and they would have everything on his truck the crew arrived and they needed materials . This was not their fault but his for not showing up the day before. Now he did knock 30 mins time off like he was doing me a favor but they didnt go to Lowes and shop in 30 mins. As well he told me on the phone he would check put my system and show me exactly what it would do and not do . He didn't do that either instead he sent me the phone number to Lorex and told me I could get a book there . I think this is just a sideline for him and they treat it as such . If I had known he was just doing this on the side I would not have hired him for this job and definitely not at prime rate. I paid $650 labor for a day and I bought 300 worth of materials to finish the job. People need to know this installer does this on the side it isn't his or his installers primary occupation and you can expect delays if you use these people . As well paying prime rate will not get you prime service as his son was able to complain about having a date till his father came out here and had them to knock off after his installer had already told me he could stay till it is done . Now if they couldnt fulfill that Casey should have stepped up and did it himself for what he charges . At least he could have come today and finished . Almost a thousand spent and still job incomplete I have excises but no completion . To me not a good value . If this were my outfit I would have made it good period. They site their reviews here as a justification for their rates but this is my opinion I do not reccomend this outfit either you are only as good as what you prove and people cant be laying out this kind of money and getting excuses and I'm sorry that just doesn't cut it. He is a nice man but I'm not paying for nice ,excuses or crying helpers I want a professional that performs that is what makes someone worth the money. I still played him but I'm not satisfied. My advice for anyone is to get a contract from anyone put it in writing what the job entails and rates e expected and hold them accountable to get things done like they promise . And always ask is this a sideline or your main bread winner. And expect anyone's licensing and ask exactly who will be on the job and specify what you are payin..."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Yes, walls on the top floor can be load-bearing if stacked on the floor’s foundation.

Yes, professionals can install new frames, trim, and threshold adjustments for a complete finish.

Joists do distribute their load to beams, but they don’t sit on top of the beams. Instead, home builders nail or screw the joists directly to the beams such that the end of the joist butts up against the edge of the beam. Beams can sit on other beams for support, but you’ll never see a joist sitting on top of a beam or another joist.

Most Cape Cod houses are two stories tall at the peak, although they’re considered one-and-a-half stories tall because the steep roof pitch cuts off a portion of the living space on the second story. Unless you raise the roof on your Cape Cod house to add a dormer, the interior rooms upstairs will lose some usable living space to the sloped ceilings.

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.
