"He was able to show up the same day I requested service. Even though it was not something that he would typically do he was willing to help anyway. Did a good job and cleaned up afterwards."

"Went OK. They did the work and it 'mostly worked' when they were done. I say mostly because the pressure valve was blowing off of the boiler when they were done (This was NOT happening before they had done the work). I had noticed this the day after I had paid. I contacted them and they wanted to replace the expansion tank and charge me $200. I asked - shouldn't this be covered under the initial work of $4600? They said the part wasn't explicitly in the quote. Frankly at this point to replace what really was a $40 part and half hour of time to do a fully finished job (for $4600). For 1. How am I supposed to know (as a customer) what should be on the quote for a fully finished job (pumps, piping, etc? - they are the expert) 2. How am I supposed to know this isnt their fault. (Shouldnt an autofilling expansion tank be connected to the incoming water supply?) Frankly not standing fully behind their work and making sure they do everything to do a good, finished job - left a 'bad' taste in my mouth. In the end I replaced the auto-filling expansion tank with an Extrol expansion tank for $40 and it took me less than an hour. After that it all appears to work."

"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."

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Framing with metal studs can be significantly faster than using wooden studs, provided you have some experience working with the material. While you can use virtually instant pneumatic nailers with wood, metal requires installing screws. However, because metal is lighter, straighter, usually comes cut-to-length, and doesn't require sorting for the best pieces, you can save significant time using metal instead of wood.

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.

There are a few easy ways to locate a wall stud without a stud finder. First, try knocking on the wall with your knuckles. Most parts of the wall will sound hollow, but when you tap over a stud, it will sound more solid. Alternatively, since studs are spaced 16 or 24 inches apart, you can measure those distances from a corner of the room, which will always have a stud.

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.

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.
