"Brawny Builders was great on all accounts. They helped with the design of our project which included a new front entrance, large rear deck, a couple sections of fence and an outdoor shower. They had a competitive quote and we’re able to start quickly. Their crew was hard working, very courteous and customer focused. The project was completed within the agreed timeframe and slightly under budget. The best thing about working with Brawny Builders was their effectiveness in communicating with me about all phases of the project. We’ve worked with many contractors over our years and no one comes to Brawny Builders in their customer relations. I would definitely use them again and highly recommend them."

"We dealt with the owner, Mark Spencer, directly.  The process was virtually seamless from start to finish.  It was very reassuring to work with the owner.  He knows a ton about windows and home improvements in general (as also a general contractor).  He was more interested in finding out what we wanted than selling us on anything in particular.  That was a breath of fresh air for sure after looking at some other companies that send sales people to your door.  A lot was riding on this purchase, so we were glad to work with someone that knew what they were doing.  We decided on his company because of his experience and knowing that the relationship was important to him so he would take care of us.  We made a great choice.
During installation his crew was very experienced and professional.  I felt comfortable having these guys around the house.  I had planned to work from home, but after talking to them a little bit I just left them with my cell number and told them to let me know if they needed anything.  My wife was in and out through the whole project.  They finished most of the inside of our house on the first day (getting the windows actually installed).  They completed the big bow window and the sliding door on the second day and finished up the metal work the next morning.  When they were gone you would have never known they had ever been there...other than the brand new windows.  They were fantastic!
Our house was built in 1982 and our old windows were our driving source of energy inefficiency.  We did online research for almost a year (on and off) and when we got serious we had a couple of companies over.  One thing I learned is that a lot of window companies use the exact same manufacturer to build their windows, they just slap their name tag on them (and they can tweak the design...most likely for style...and the prices for the same windows vary like you wouldn't believe).  One company in particular was trying to sell us on the foam and metal material used for installation (claiming their stuff was the best).  I later found out that Mark's company was using the exact same materials.  In the end, I highly recommend Legacy Window & Door.  No gimmicks and a great product!

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Not all porch columns are load-bearing, though they can be. Some porch columns are simply decorative. There are ways to identify a load-bearing column, like looking for visible seams and a foundation. Also, check to see if the column directly enters the ground. In some porch installations, a contractor will excavate a hole to install a column into the earth along with a buried cement base for stability.

Balcony construction or replacement typically requires a building permit from your local permitting authority. Safety and building integrity are the main reasons for the need to obtain a permit and the subsequent inspections. In some cases, especially cantilevered balconies, your municipality may also require the oversight and signature of a structural engineer.

There are approximately 5.33 board feet in a 2x4. You can use the board foot calculator in this article to easily find the answer. A 2x4 is 2 inches of thickness by 4 inches of width, so you need to find the length, with 8 feet being the most common. You’d use the calculator here to multiply 2 times 4 times 8, and then divide by 12, arriving at a total of 5.33 board feet. 

Learning how to frame a house includes picking the right lumber for the job. Most people will want to pick pine, spruce, or fir for the framing. These types of lumber are affordable and produce sturdy framing for structures. Look for kiln-dried lumber to reduce the risk of shrinkage or insect damage after installation. As part of what’s included in framing a house when you hire a professional, the contractor should order the lumber, so you don’t have to worry about finding the right lumber.

If the bowing basement wall is less than 2 inches, steel or carbon fiber straps are the best solution. For bowing that is more than 2 inches, wall anchors are the most effective. A contractor can help you decide the best method of repair for your home's foundation and also address the root cause of the trouble.
