"Marsh contracting came in and took our 50+ year old bathroom and made it into a great, functional space. I wish I could explain the awfulness of the "before" situation they were facing. Tile and plaster 3 inches thick; square, heavy bathtub that need to be removed; galvanized steel pipes with years of corrosion blocking water flow. They had great suggestions for improvements and helped us stay within our budget while still taking care of the things that needed to be done. They were prompt and worked quickly; the only hiccup was on our side with a delivery issue, and they were able to work around it and keep the project rolling. Bob and his team were upfront with us on everything, and I felt that I had a clear idea of how the project was moving along, next steps, and the timeline for completion. Communication was never an issue, whether via email, phone, or text. And my super picky Father in Law has even complemented the great tile work!"

"I have worked with many contractors through the years I would rank these guys as one of the best. Frank is a very trusting and transparent person to work with. He will find ways to meet your needs and work with right through the project. They are not a company that will do "90%" of the job and make the last 10% difficult to complete or close. He is also very reachable and will stay in contact through the project. Their invoicing and payment process if also very easy and good to work with. I would certainly work with these guys again."

"We are very pleased with how our bathroom turned out. We enlarged the master bath into an adjacent bedroom. Now we have a cabinet with drawers, the same size shower as before, and a partially re-arranged floor plan. Gary scheduled the other contractors needed to complete the job: plumbing, electrical, tile, granite work, and paint. The job took longer and cost more than originally planned (these things generally do). We had the work done 2 years ago and are still very pleased with the work."

"I can?t say enough good things about Swartz and the job they did on our house.  Aaron and his team are absolute professionals.   A major kitchen remolding project is very inconvenient for everyone living in the house (especially when you have kids).  Aaron?s team does everything possible to make sure the job is done quickly and correctly.  The Swartz team is very good about working with anyone (wife, me, or both) at any time.  They were also very respectful of being in someone else's home.  This was especially important since both my wife and toddler were home most of the time while work was being done. The project manager assigned to our project (Michael) was outstanding.  From the very start we talked almost daily. He always made sure my concerns were quickly addressed.  He was also very helpful at suggesting changes to my kitchen design to improve the look and feel.  It was Michael?s willingness for this back and forth communication that enabled this project to be successful.
   
Some of the best things about Swartz include:
1) Customer service:
I never worked with a contractor more dedicated to customer service than Swartz Builders.  From the start they do everything possible to make sure you are satisfied with the job they are doing.  Having a project manager assigned to the job makes everything so much easier and less stressful.  You always know someone is there to answer your questions.  
2) Responsiveness:  
          a. Project: The responsiveness of Aaron and his team was outstanding.   My primary means of communication with Aaron and his project manager was by text message.  I don?t think I waited more than a few hours for a response to any question or concern.  
          b. Quote process:  The quote process with Swartz did take about 3 or 4 months from the time I initially called to final quote.  However, when you get a final quote it is done right.  Everything is itemized in detail so you know exactly what you are paying for and why.  This kind of quote takes time and requires the customer to have a detailed project plan (drawings, materials, etc.) prior to the quote being developed.   Don?t expect a detailed quote unless you have a reasonable firm detailed project plan.  
3) Quality:  
Outstanding.  Everything they do is top rate.  When had concerns with how something was done, the project manager would walk me thought it so I understood why it was done that way and made sure I was satisfied with the work.  
4) Price/Value:  
If you are looking for a budget contractor Swartz is not it.  I gave them an ?A? because of the excellent overall value.  The customer support and work quality is worth the cost.  Many friends tell of kitchen remodeling nightmares (disappearing contractors, subpar work, major timing delays, etc.) this will not happen with Swartz.  They did everything possible to minimize my stress (and I am the kind of person that will get stressed out on even the smallest detail) and made sure the job was done to my satisfaction.        
My only negative experience with Swartz was related to getting hardwood flooring color/finish samples prior to the day the floors were finished.  Despite my repeated request for flooring samples (various colors and urethane types) they were never able to deliver this.  We were required to select the floor color and final finish the morning the floors were sanded and finished. Having to make that big of a decision in a few minutes is very stressful.  Getting a sample board with a variety of colors and finished a few weeks ahead of time would have made the process much easier for everyone.  However, I do have to admit the floors came out great.  Both my wife and I were very satisfied with the final product.  Note: Aaron did have the flooring contractor provide a quickly put together sample board with a couple of different floor colors the day before the floors were to be finished.  But nothing that showed what the final floor would look like.

"Excellent, its hard to find a company like this who is really dedicated to the work they do. Jerrod was always prompt, honest, and very friendly. He made you feel like you've known him for a lng time. I now know who to go to whenever I need ANY kind of work done on my home or the rental properties I own. A close friend referred me and I was a little hesitant at first, but after having this wonderful experience with his team and with SHB I wish I would've never used the companies i was using before."

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

When deciding whether to use nails or screws for framing, the specific needs of the project must be taken into account. Nails have long been the go-to option for framing due to their affordability, ease of installation, and ability to withstand shear forces. They are perfect for structural framing projects where fast assembly is essential. In contrast, screws offer exceptional holding power and are particularly useful in situations requiring increased strength and resistance to pull-out forces. For projects that prioritize accuracy and long-lasting quality, screws may be the preferred option, though nails remain a dependable and efficient choice.

When deciding if you should use 2x6 or 2x8 deck joists, consider the size of the deck, joist spacing, and materials. Larger decks, larger-spaced joists, and weaker wood all require more support, meaning they need larger joists. For example, 2x8 redwood joists spaced 16 inches apart can only safely span up to 10 feet and 7 inches. On the other hand, 2x10 southern pine joists spaced 12 inches apart can be as big as 16 feet and 2 inches. If you aren’t sure what size joist is best for your project, speak with your deck builder.

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.

Yes, you will need a jack for a rim joist replacement. To prevent sagging and facilitate the removal of load-bearing wood, you’ll need to relieve the pressure from this joint before beginning work. 

Due to hydraulics and other specialized equipment, a sill plate and rim joist replacement are not typically a DIY project. Hiring a professional structural engineer and experienced contractors is the best approach to replacing rotted sill plates and rim joists.
