"Stephen was awesome to work with and his work is outstanding. We are SO happy with our new railings, they make the entire house look brand new. If you need work done in the Grand Haven/Holland area, don't hesitate to go with Northern Lights Construction. I've worked with a lot of contractors and Stephen is top notch. Highly recommend."

"He was able to show up the same day I requested service. Even though it was not something that he would typically do he was willing to help anyway. Did a good job and cleaned up afterwards."

"Went OK. They did the work and it 'mostly worked' when they were done. I say mostly because the pressure valve was blowing off of the boiler when they were done (This was NOT happening before they had done the work). I had noticed this the day after I had paid. I contacted them and they wanted to replace the expansion tank and charge me $200. I asked - shouldn't this be covered under the initial work of $4600? They said the part wasn't explicitly in the quote. Frankly at this point to replace what really was a $40 part and half hour of time to do a fully finished job (for $4600). For 1. How am I supposed to know (as a customer) what should be on the quote for a fully finished job (pumps, piping, etc? - they are the expert) 2. How am I supposed to know this isnt their fault. (Shouldnt an autofilling expansion tank be connected to the incoming water supply?) Frankly not standing fully behind their work and making sure they do everything to do a good, finished job - left a 'bad' taste in my mouth. In the end I replaced the auto-filling expansion tank with an Extrol expansion tank for $40 and it took me less than an hour. After that it all appears to work."

"Matt Williams did an excellent job on all the cabinetry! The bookshelf/cabinet unit he built around the fireplace is beautiful, as is the cabinet and drawers under the kitchen counter. Excellent attention to detail. He also reframed the pocket door so it now works great and reframed the doors. His workers did most of the door moldings and baseboard work - a few things that weren't done correctly were redone without problem. Matt also went out of his way to help us when unforeseen events occurred during this time that were not in his contract, such as when we had a leak from our water system that created a big mess in our finished basement - Matt helped clean everything and brought in powerful fans to dry everything out. He also gave us help in design, materials, colors, etc. and helped with many other questions and problems we encountered in our remodel.
However, he works several jobs at the same time and thus we usually didn't know whether he or his workers would be on our job or someone else's on any given day. Sometimes they'd come for just a short time to work, then leave to go somewhere else. Many times they never came at all. We had to leave a key for them to get into the house whenever they wanted. We moved out of the house for July and August, but Build LLC's work wasn't completed until October. We stopped in several times a week to check on progress. Many times no work was done until a deadline for something else was at hand, such as the counters were to be installed or the flooring was to be installed or the stainers were waiting to finish staining until the two kitchen cabinet doors were completed. It was very frustrating.

"Quality work. Trustworthy contractor. We went from a traditional, cramped full bathroom to an open concept with glassed in, frameless shower. Glad we included the heated floor given the cold, winter mornings in Michigan. All of the work was done professionally and to last. We have had work done by many contractors in the past and Ralph David is A+. Highly recommended."

"Harlow Roofing was great. Brandon was responsive and answered all my questions. I really appreciate a contractor that is on top of his communication game as well. The roof was installed when he said it was going to be and the crew were quick, courteous and clean (very important so there are no nails in the driveway)."

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can find ceiling joists using simple tools if a stud finder isn't available.

Using a hammer requires patience and a keen ear. Gently tap the ceiling in a grid pattern, listening for sound changes. A hollow sound indicates space between joists, while a solid, dull thud suggests a joist. Mark the location with a pencil and confirm by tapping from different angles.

Alternatively, you can use a nail, but this method will leave small holes. You'll feel increased resistance when the nail hits a joist. Mark the spot and repeat the process every 16 or 24 inches to map the joist locations. This method is considered less reliable than using a stud finder.

Costs depend on furniture type, size, complexity, and whether additional modifications are needed.

While it is possible to build a wooden carport yourself, especially if you are skilled in carpentry, professional construction is recommended. Professionals ensure structural integrity, proper anchoring, correct alignment, and the use of quality materials for a stable and durable result.

When choosing a drywall anchor, consider the weight of the object you're hanging and how much weight the anchor will need to support. The heavier the weight, the stronger the anchor you'll need. You’ll find the weight capacity on the packaging when shopping for anchors. 

Also, remember that you can use more than one anchor when hanging something on the wall. If you're using multiple anchors, divide the object weight by the number of anchors to determine how much each will need to support. If you need help deciding which drywall anchor to use, you can hire a handyperson to hang your objects. 

In framing, studs are placed at 16-inch intervals to coincide with the typical spacing of wall materials such as drywall or plywood. This spacing is called "on-center" and is necessary for maintaining structural stability and efficient use of materials. The 16-inch spacing also helps to distribute the weight evenly across the building's structure. For those looking to cut material costs and improve energy efficiency, 24-inch stud spacing can be employed through a method called "advanced framing". This requires careful planning and adherence to local building codes to ensure structural integrity.
