"Bob responding promptly to my request for an estimate, and we had a very cordial discussion of what needed to be done.  A few days later, he provided me, via email attachment, a description of the work he would perform, and the cost.  I obtained two other estimates from other paint contractors.  One of them came in at roughly the same price and the other was about $5000 higher.  
When I decided to go with Bob's, Bob informed me that they could start the work in a couple of weeks.  A few days before the start date, he rang me up to let me know they were coming.  As I have a B&B in the lower part of the house, I asked if the workers might try to accommodate my guests' schedule.  They said that they'd do the best they could not to bother the guests, and they were as good as their word.  The work crew was a friendly, prompt, hard working, and professional group.  Bob stopped by each morning the first week to give the crew their instructions and to consult with me about the progress of the work.  He also stopped by at the end of the day to check on the work. A couple of times, he had the workers redo some prepping that didn't seem entirely satisfactory.  I was very appreciative of this oversight of the job.  During the second week, Bob left on a trip and his son took over the supervision.  He was also a good communicator and easy to work with.  I changed my mind about the color scheme on the front porch a couple of times, and Bob's group was very willing to accommodate my wishes.  They were also wonderfully responsive to any other concerns or questions I had during the course of the job.
Overall, I was very pleased with Bob's work and with his crew.  They were courteous, fast, communicative, cordial, and very professional.  They have my highest recommendation.

"Overall a really good Job. I had a roof leak in my kitchen. I called Gus Hurst Construction. Gus came right, found the leak, gave me a good quote and repaired the roof . With out Gus being diligent and fair, more damage could have been done to my kitchen. I would definitely hire him again."

"Two guys came and took care of a small project in 30 minutes to an hour. He also said, "What else can I do for you?" I asked him a couple of questions and he said, "Oh, we can do that." So he did some other things that were small, but needed to be done with. He did those and then he said, "Well what else can we do for you?" That was all I could think of. There were two guys. I thought it would be one guy for two hours, but it was two guys that were there a little over an hour. I got done what needed to be done, so I was very pleased. He said, "If you need anything call us back." I didn't have to pay anything more. I had a shelf that was falling in the garage. They did the brace that had broken. So they had to take a lot of heavy boxes off and they replaced that brace and then they also did some other braces to support it. That was actually what I called them out for and they took care of that. The ladder to the garage came down on top of a board that my husband had put there to raise the car up so that it would clear this kerb he had put in. He put in a kerb so that you would know where to stop the car. Then the car couldn't clear the kerb, so he put a board in to raise the car up to clear the kerb. That meant the ladder that came down out of the attic hit that board. My grandson had questioned the strength of the ladder. I had them take out the ladder. It's only good for 200 lbs. That is why a heavy guy might have an issue with it. It wouldn't fit right because of that board. The guy sad, "Well your ladder is fine," and they cut a little square out of the board so that the ladder could go all the way down."

"Everything went well. Beautiful work and always fair with the pricing. Will always knows the right materials to use when building, never cheap materials. Never in a rush neither but always finishing in a timely manner. If Will says it will take a week, a week is what you’re looking at. Always true to his word."

Pole Barn Builders questions, answered by experts

Pole barns and carports are similar in that they rely on posts for support and are often not connected to a primary structure. The main difference between the two is that pole barns usually include walls that surround the entire perimeter of the structure, while carports generally remain open on three or four sides. It’s possible to insulate garage doors and even exterior walls on pole barns to create a comfortable workspace, and it’s a bit more secure for storage purposes. However, carports are more affordable.

The difference between a pole barn and a stick-built barn is in the construction. Large poles in the ground provide support for pole barns. For stick-built barns, 2-by-4 or 2-by-6 lumber (known as sticks) create a frame around load-bearing beams. Stick-built construction is far more popular for residential homes. Pole barns are more cost-effective because they require fewer materials and less labor.

The steep slope of an A-frame roof withstands high winds, heavy rain, and heavy snowfall, making them popular all over the world. A-frames also offer simple, quick construction. Finally, an A-frame typically has large windows on the non-roof sides to let in a maximum amount of natural light. Consequently, they are often an affordable building solution for the right homeowner and location.

While building a treehouse isn’t necessarily a death sentence, damaging the trunk is one of the ways to kill a tree. If you’re concerned about the tree, opt for a treehouse support system rather than attaching it directly to the trunk. This may involve using bolts and brackets to affix the structure to the tree's branches or establishing a standalone support system that remains unattached to the tree.

Rather than using a common two-by-four piece of wood for a rafter, you probably will use two-by-six, two-by-eight, two-by-ten, or even two-by-twelve boards. Wider lumber is typically a better choice in a larger building as it provides more sturdiness. Some installers may use wider lumber for rafters near the edges of the roof, where the greatest stress occurs, and save money with narrower lumber toward the middle.
