"They sent about 15 workers and 8 hours later we have a brand roof! They were very professional, covered my flowers and landscaping before doing the job, went through the yard after with a magnet to do all the cleaning up of the left over parts and nails. They were very careful with the job overall and did an amazing job."
"Customer service and their work was fantastic. They completed the project very timely, kept the workspace clean, and were honest and genuinely friendly to work with. We are looking forward to the next project in our home to work with them again."
"Jeff did an amazing job. He designed a gate to go across the stairs that works perfectly without taking up space. I still get compliments on the job he did. I would HIGHLY recommend him for a job."
"My husband and I recently contracted Elysium to do exterior project for us, they power washed and stained our deck and pergola as well as power washed and painted the trim on our house. I have to remark, that the thing that impressed me most is that Elysium unlike many contractors I have worked with in the past is professional and communicative through out the duration of the project. I called their main office to set up a free estimate and had someone at the house the next morning; they even gave me the bid before leaving. There was no waiting 3-4 days for the contractor to ?get back to me with a price.? The crew that came to our house showed up on time and were very polite and respectful of our home and property. We primarily communicated with crew chief Caesar, who was very clear on the time line for project completion and stuck to his promises. Overall we are very pleased the finished product that he and his crew provided us with! Thank you Elysium for making our deck beautiful again.
"I did not go with this company, they refunded my money because I didn't like their design. I've reviewed this before. Please can you stop these requests to do a review. "

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts
For maximum stability, install grab bars on wall studs, as this will adequately support the weight. However, if you don't have access to studs, you can get by with wall anchors. If opting for the latter, choose specialty hollow wall anchors.
Joists do distribute their load to beams, but they don’t sit on top of the beams. Instead, home builders nail or screw the joists directly to the beams such that the end of the joist butts up against the edge of the beam. Beams can sit on other beams for support, but you’ll never see a joist sitting on top of a beam or another joist.
Removing a load-bearing wall affects the structural integrity of your home, so you’ll need a permit before starting the work. Building codes vary by municipality, and obtaining a permit and having the work inspected after completion will ensure you’re in compliance with all applicable regulations.
When building a house, it is customary to use 16d nails that measure 3 1/2 inches in length to construct the frame. These nails are crucial in providing the necessary support and stability for structural elements like joists and studs, which ensures a sturdy framework.
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.
