"Fast and reasonable quote, good availability, good job performance, and helpful. Trevor was also able to fix our attic stairs at little to no cost, while others told us it would be very expense. I’ve used TJM in the past, and I certainly look forward to using them on future jobs."
"I am very pleased with the way this job was completed and appreciate all the hard work that each contractor contributed to making my house look fantastic. Kurt was very accommodating from the first meeting and was willing to alter the plan without question. The quality of the work that was completed is top-notch. I would highly recommend this company to my family and friends."
"Nyboer Builders did a great job! They were very professional. Travis fixed the roof leak and replaced the rotted soffit. He did an excellent job making the new soffit match the old soffit on our 80+ year old house. Communication was great. Mandy manages the office and she was a pleasure to talk to and work with. This family owned business was a pleasure doing business with. We highly recommend them and we will definitely call them again when our old house needs the loving care of a professional roofer or contractor. Thank you Nyboer family!"

"It is a waste of money. The great majority of people are not going to find any value out of the service. If you need design consultation, you need a full service consultation. If you already have knowledge and experience, and you just need to get a few ideas, then you don't need to pay for that. You can just get a magazine or a book since you already have the knowledge of basic designs in your head or a little bit of experience. To have someone call you and give you information over the phone, you are not getting the personal service that you need. You may as well take the money $49 and apply it to something else like getting someone else to come out and give you the service that you need. Because, you are not getting much, you are not getting anything at all. They are going to have you do the work. After talking to them and I was talking to other home designers, I found out that that was a waste of time and waste of money. I gave them a C because they didn't fail at what they do but they don't offer any value for what they do. There's not much value to it. The cost was fair. They didn't do a terrible job and the cost isn't terrible, it was only $49. It just has a very low value. For responsiveness I gave them a B because they will answer your phone and answer your emails."
"The work was done quickly, and everyone was extremely friendly and helpful. The only delay was waiting for the electric company to do their part. I'm thrilled to have my panels up and running!"
"Excellent - I ended up hiring someone to help with shopping and finishing piece - waste of time and money. Jill's service was by far the most useful and best value in my decorating process. "
Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts
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.
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.
The easiest way to tell if a wall is load bearing is to check if it’s an exterior wall or if it runs perpendicular to the joists above and below it (or parallel to beams). Exterior walls are almost always load-bearing, and walls that run under beams or parallel to them are also usually load-bearing. There are exceptions to these rules, and walls that don’t fit into these categories can still be load-bearing. If you’re unsure, hire a structural engineer to look at your home to assess whether or not the wall is structural.
Duration varies by project size, but average-sized homes typically take a weeks.
It’s sometimes safe to replace a load-bearing wall with a beam, but you need a structural engineer to sign off on the project. You’ll also likely have to upgrade to a steel I-beam or another material that’s stronger than wood to maintain the level of support you need without the wall underneath.
