The rating is bogus as it is required to be able to submit.

"Once I sent her all the measurements, it took her a little while to get the options back to me.  Overall, they're good designs.  However, they're very simplistic and give general ideas for space planning.  I was hoping to have a better idea for sizes of furniture for the space and some variations on staging.  
Jill was very responsive when I did have a question.  I'm not sure how helpful it is to have a virtual design done.  If we lived in similar cities, I'd probably use her again for help with additional designs.

"We had already from one roofing company for $13,000.00 plus. The inspector got up on all the parts of our roof with his caulk gun, fixed a few spots, and said, "Yes, it's an older roof, but you don't need to replace it yet." We really appreciated his honesty and will be calling this comapny back for the replacement in a few years."

Small jobs welcome

I was born and raised in lake county, october nineteen sixty four. My father was a contractor in the 60s through 2015. I also had an uncle that was a contractor here in Lake County and an uncle. That is a contractor up in Traverse City. I worked with all of them from the 70s on. Mostly worked for my dad until 1988 when I got my residential builders license. Working here in Lake County, you had to learn to do all of the jobs yourself. You had to learn to do concrete, foundations, lay blocks, framing, build rafters, do roofing shingles or metal roofing. Set windows do siding. Build additions, garages, pole barn, porches, decks, sheds. Do installation, drywall, finished trim.\nFlooring ceramic, tile hardwood floors, laminate flooring. Do trim work ect. I do have subcontractors that I work with. I did the remodel job on the dial a ride building in lake county. I did the Idlewild welcome signs on US 10. I worked with Habitat for Humanity.\nFor the last 8 years. Hopefully hope we can do busi\n\n

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

By careful planning and reinforcement to maintain structural integrity.

Bump-out additions can extend anywhere from 2 to 15 feet from an existing room. The right size will depend on how you plan to use the new space. For a cantilever bump-out, which doesn't require additional foundation support, the limit is typically 24 inches (2 feet). If a footing and foundation are part of the project, a bump-out can be much larger, even encompassing a whole room. It's also important to remember that many residential properties have limits on the total house size relative to the lot size.

Most Cape Cod houses are two stories tall at the peak, although they’re considered one-and-a-half stories tall because the steep roof pitch cuts off a portion of the living space on the second story. Unless you raise the roof on your Cape Cod house to add a dormer, the interior rooms upstairs will lose some usable living space to the sloped ceilings.

Yes, you can find ceiling joists using simple tools if a stud finder isn't available.

Using a hammer requires patience and a keen ear. Gently tap the ceiling in a grid pattern, listening for sound changes. A hollow sound indicates space between joists, while a solid, dull thud suggests a joist. Mark the location with a pencil and confirm by tapping from different angles.

Alternatively, you can use a nail, but this method will leave small holes. You'll feel increased resistance when the nail hits a joist. Mark the spot and repeat the process every 16 or 24 inches to map the joist locations. This method is considered less reliable than using a stud finder.

For a professional carpenter, installing a window seat can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days, depending on some aspects of the project. Aside from building the seat itself, if they have to remove any cabinets, shelves, or baseboards, that will add time to the project.
