"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.
"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."
"Matt did a great job. He had to go in the attic to install a bracket to secure the chandelier. Then climbed a tall ladder to install the chandelier. Matt was very knowledgeable about the job, very timely and clean. I highly recommend Matt."
"They did a good job. She had to submit like a photo but my daughter had them work on the central are of the loft. The deal was for one room. She got a lot of good ideal from her and it was worth it for her. They were professional and I did not hear anything negative."

If you remove a load-bearing wall to create an entrance to a carport or covered patio, you can expect to pay between $3,200 and $9,500, with an average cost of $6,400. Factors such as the type of addition and if that area needs additional work will add to the price.
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.
Yes, a 2x6 should hold a porch swing and safely support the load. A smaller joist runs the risk of it not offering enough support for the swing. If you have a joist smaller than 2x6, add additional bolstering support.
Stick frames, metal frames, or prefabricated concrete frames are included in framing a house, along with creating the framework and space for windows, doors, and entryways. Other aspects of developing a home—like drywall, insulation, windows, doors, and more—are not included in the cost to frame a house.
It’s best to use two screws to secure deck boards into every joist. Securing the boards to every joist makes the deck more structurally sound, while using two screws on the outer sides of the boards can help prevent warping and cupping.
