"I can’t say enough how impressed we were with Gutters by Design. Our house is small, a fixer-upper, and not near their base, but Trey and his team not only showed up, but were absolutely phenomenal through every stage of the process—from showing us the product firsthand, to designing a gutter system most effective for our needs, to explaining the cost breakdown in detail, to the actual installation. What was especially striking—and what really sets Trey apart from every other contractor we’ve worked with—was his thorough professionalism, punctuality, and clear, prompt, courteous communication. We had to be out of town when the work was done, and Trey was in communication about where they were at in the process, and shared photos of the work at finish, so we could feel confident in the outcome. Trey is that rarity: not only a contractor you can rely on to do exactly what he promises, on time, and deliver the best possible quality, but a true gem of a person, honorable, generous, and kind. Because of our rock-solid faith in Trey, we inquired if he knew of anyone who did masonry work, since we had a chimney to repair, had been ghosted by one mason we paid, and couldn’t get other contractors to call us back. Trey connected us with his uncle, with whom he works with on a wide range of jobs, and we’ve been very glad to hire them to repair our chimney, refinish our decks and help us solve a window leak. We can’t recommend Trey highly enough; he and his team have been true godsends."
"The best electrical Company I have ever had work for me. They scheduled my appointment and kept me informed very well when they could do the job. Mike was very conscious about our house and his work area. He work very fast and fixed everyone of my problems, if you call and there is a little wait time before they can do it wait because Baker electric is worth the wait."
"He was awesome. He did an excellent job. I had hired him for 4 projects on my house. He was easy to work with. At first, he gave me a quote, when it didn't meet my finances, he find ways to for me to save. I really appreciate him. He was excellent."
"Appointment to review various needed repairs was made within a reasonable amount of time. Contractor did show up and was on time at the time of the appointment. (This is why I gave them the overall C rating)...... Now to the disappointing part.... When leaving, contractor said he would get back to me within a few days with estimate. A week went by with no estimate received from contractor. I called contractor again and was told he would have estimate for me by the next day.. It is now a week later and still no estimate has been received. Based on their previous good reviews, which was what lead me to call then in the first place, they are probably good at what they do and may have done the repairs at a reasonable price, however, I didn't get a chance to find out as I was never supplied an estimate. Disappointing because I took time away from work to meet with the contractor, which turns out was a waste of time for both of us. Wont bother calling them back because if I cant rely on them to get back to me with an estimate, how can I trust that they will complete the work needed in a timely manner? "
"He was the most honest man I worked. He can do anything. It was good. He knew what he was doing. I don't have to watch over him. My experience was good. He did everything I asked. He was a good carpenter. He was a great guy. As he gotten older he doesn't go up to ladder anymore, which was okay. The price was $40 per hour."
"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! "
"She was fine. We were working long distance and communication took place via phone and email. I would not ever hire someone long distance again for design work unless I see something on their website that is exactly what I like. She was very responsive though and she provided us with pictures of sample furniture and physical designs. I gave her a 'B' because she didn’t take a lot of time to customize the plan to our style. I expected her to adapt to our style, but instead she tried to make our living room fit her style. She seems to have a look that is her style and we actually asked her re-do the plan a few times before we got something usable. In the end, she is very good at what she does and she is very professional, but her design style doesn’t fit our way of living."

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts
Framing most homes takes anywhere between five and eight weeks to complete. You’ll need to account for inclement weather conditions, material shipment times, the number of crew members, and the weight of your materials. If the weather is too hot, wet, or cold for the installation, this process could take closer to eight weeks.
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.
Bump-out additions can extend anywhere from 2 to 15 feet from an existing room. The right size will depend on how you plan to use the new space. For a cantilever bump-out, which doesn't require additional foundation support, the limit is typically 24 inches (2 feet). If a footing and foundation are part of the project, a bump-out can be much larger, even encompassing a whole room. It's also important to remember that many residential properties have limits on the total house size relative to the lot size.
A-frame homes are on the smaller side. While there’s no set square footage amount it has to be, it will usually come in around 1,000 square feet or smaller.
The average cost of DIY window framing is about $40 to $60 in materials. If you hire a window treatment professional, you’ll pay for materials plus labor costs—anywhere from $250 to $800 per window. The final cost is highly dependent on the window size, as larger windows are heavier and more difficult to install, as well as the type of window framing material.
