"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."

Painting itself was excellent.  The painters were neat for the most part. although we did find some small paint spots on the carpet..  Edge lines looked good, and we found very few defects that required correction.  They did refer a problem with blotchy coverage to the manufacturer, who refunded the price of the paint for the bathroom, provided new paint, but did not pay for the labor involved in repainting that room.

Our major problems came with the estimate and billing. The original estimate was for $3200, and the final bill was over $4400.  Our contact, Chris, blamed the difference on the fact that they underestimated the amount the number of coats and amount of paint that was required.  Also, we found discrepancies in the amount we were billed for paint.  This was blamed on the fact that they were doing work for "two Kathy's" and got the invoices mixed up.  We had to argue with them to get the discounts we were initially promised.  The job was originally estimated to be completed in 3 to 5 days, but took 2 1/2 weeks. They started painting on 8/13 and we did not settle our billing issues until 12/24.  We tired of arguing with them and ended up paying for $73 in supplies they could not account for.

Also, they offered to give us a bill reduction in the amount of our Angie's List membership if we gave them a favorable review. 

We would look elsewhere when we need painters again.

"The work was done quickly, and everyone was extremely friendly and helpful. The only delay was waiting for the electric company to do their part. I'm thrilled to have my panels up and running!"

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Homeowners can increase the usefulness of their garage space in other ways, and one option is to extend the length of the garage by making it deeper. The process is similar to traditional garage extensions, but the end product is a garage with a different layout rather than additional parking spaces. 

A few signs that you need a new door frame include:

  • The door no longer fits properly in its frame and sticks or scrapes.

  • You notice cracks, holes, or rotting.

  • You feel a draft coming from around the door when it’s closed.

  • You find yourself frequently needing to make repairs.

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.

When choosing a drywall anchor, consider the weight of the object you're hanging and how much weight the anchor will need to support. The heavier the weight, the stronger the anchor you'll need. You’ll find the weight capacity on the packaging when shopping for anchors. 

Also, remember that you can use more than one anchor when hanging something on the wall. If you're using multiple anchors, divide the object weight by the number of anchors to determine how much each will need to support. If you need help deciding which drywall anchor to use, you can hire a handyperson to hang your objects. 

Yes, ceiling joists are typically load-bearing. However, their primary function is to support the weight of the ceiling and loads applied to it, like lighting fixtures and ceiling fans. They can also help support the roof, especially if they’re part of truss systems. Remember, the load-bearing capacity of ceiling joists depends on the material, size, and space between them.
