"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."

"Several years ago we had a toilet installed by another contractor. When it began leaking into the basement last month, I called that contractor twice--one time, he said he'd be out the next day (no show), and the next he never returned my call. Vanderhyde came out within two days after I called. The plumber immediately spotted the problem, explained why the first installation probably had some issues, and fixed the problem in short order. Anthony was professional, prompt, and even offered another very small adjustment ($16) so our toilet would flush better. I will be using Vanderhyde going forward for all my plumbing needs.

"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."

"I am very pleased with the work that Alvie and his crew have done so far. The project is not completed yet due to the uncooperative Michigan spring weather. I will definitely hire them for other projects in my old historical home."

"Amanda has been very very helpful.  The prices are a little high but they are very good quality and it is worth it.  She helped me do my den and I purchased some furniture.  She is very friendly answering any of my questions, and has been a pleasure to work with."

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

Bump-out additions can add some space to a closet without requiring any significant structural work. This entails pushing back the existing rear or side of the closet, simply moving the wall into either an adjacent room or unused space. For ground-floor closets, this could even be extended to the exterior of the home, but that has its own complications. Bump-outs are a good discussion to have with your contractor if you’re just looking to increase the space a little—not renovate the entire closet space.

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.

It's possible to turn your carport into a living space, but there are additional factors to address over turning it into a garage. HVAC, plumbing, and electricity won't be optional, and you'll need finished flooring, drywall, trim work, and legal ceiling height, for starters. Also, keep in mind that living space conversions may require upgrading the foundation underneath, and the permits might be more expensive as well.

No rules state how much of a load-bearing wall can be removed. Rather, you need to adequately support any area that is removed. Support should always be added to as much wall area is being removed. Failing to support the area properly will result in structural damage.
