"I recommend Ben to any person or family who wants the handiwork or remodel completed on their homes done right. A colleague of mine referred Ben to me for remodeling our basement and I’m happy to pay it forward. Ben did all things opposite of what I dreaded in a handyman/builder/contractor. His pricing was appropriate, he had A+ customer service skills and he did incredible work on our house. His pricing was fair. He was the lowest of a few other companies I explored. Also, whenever I told friends and family what he was charging for his work, they always responded, “Wow!” His customer service skills were ten levels above any other contractor/handyman/builder I’ve ever come across. He answered the phone every single time I called…literally every time. He sent line-item pricing in estimates that were easy to follow and clear. He also corresponded with and helped me navigate the many other vendors (electrician/plumber/HVAC, etc) of the project so that schedules and work were seamless. Finally, his work was excellent. He’s a self-proclaimed (and independently verified) perfectionist. He re-drywalled a section of a wall (I never noticed it) that wasn’t “quite right.” Without us asking, he put three coats of paint on a sliding door that really needed it. He also never shied away from any type of work, from drywalling, to framing, to demoing, to painting, to removing wallpaper, to finishing egress windows, to remodeling closets, to installing sinks/countertops/doors/vanities, to even mounting t.v.’s. My wife, toddler, parents, in-laws and I are obsessed with the new basement playroom and “grandparents suite” he created for us and we will continue to call him for routine handiwork or other construction work in the future. I would recommend Ben to anyone."

"Jenny replaced all the weather stripping around our exterior doors. Our house is so much warmer now, no more freezing drafts! Jenny was also incredibly knowledgeable and kind. She even fixed one of our doors that wasn't closing tight enough. We would definitely hire her again!"

"We had Garden Structures & More add onto the beautiful privacy fence they had previously built for us, and we couldn't be happier with the final result. Our new and improved fence is even better than we had envisioned due to owner/designer/craftsman Hal's excellent ideas. All work was completed in a timely and professional manner. We truly enjoyed working with Hal and wouldn't hesitate to have him do our next home project. "

"Our old house has suffered through several additions and consequently walls and floors are not level or plumb. The Rossbach team did an outstanding job of understanding what we wanted and the quality of their work is second to none! They also had no problem letting us do some of the work, like the demo and the wall finishing. We would definitely use them again!"

"Allen gave me a detailed estimate and explained exactly what he would be doing for the bathroom. His work was through and he himself was professional. After completion, he walked me through everything and was willing to answer all my questions. We are completely satisfied with the work - the tile looks like new, yet the house was built in 1977."

"Everything was done better and faster than I expected! They were very knowledgeable about paints and the process. They even took on a few extra projects I needed painted such as some exterior cement wall and our porch swing. Very kind and professional!"

"We described what our concerns were and since we had previously had Tom and Andy as handymen we felt confident that they would do what needed to be done to give our deck and porch a fresh look.  We have no complaints with the guys nor the work they did.
We'd recommend these guys  along with Cady Handyman Services to family and friends."

Pole Barn Builders questions, answered by experts

Whether pole barn posts should be set in concrete depends on the soil surrounding your home. If your soil is compact and digging conditions are agreeable, then setting pole barn posts in concrete is an ideal option.

Rather than using a common two-by-four piece of wood for a rafter, you probably will use two-by-six, two-by-eight, two-by-ten, or even two-by-twelve boards. Wider lumber is typically a better choice in a larger building as it provides more sturdiness. Some installers may use wider lumber for rafters near the edges of the roof, where the greatest stress occurs, and save money with narrower lumber toward the middle.

While it’s best to have access to large, healthy, strong trees in a safe position, treehouse living is still possible without them. Contractors can fit tree posts to build the structure onto or use posts as additional support alongside the trees themselves. If you’re in doubt about the suitability of the trees on your land, consult with a local treehouse builder before you start the project.

Pole barns and carports are similar in that they rely on posts for support and are often not connected to a primary structure. The main difference between the two is that pole barns usually include walls that surround the entire perimeter of the structure, while carports generally remain open on three or four sides. It’s possible to insulate garage doors and even exterior walls on pole barns to create a comfortable workspace, and it’s a bit more secure for storage purposes. However, carports are more affordable.

Trex is not stronger than wood, but it lasts longer than wood and is heavier. Trex holds up well to the elements and is resistant to termites thanks to its resilient composition of plastic, reclaimed wood, and sawdust. Trex decking is rot and warp-resistant, making it especially useful in areas that experience a lot of snow and rain.
