"he was very pleasant and helpful but had a family emergency so wasn't able to complete the list but promised he would come back later to do some painting I needed done on deck and garage door."
"One structure in the form of a arbor with a gate completed our fence. The other structure a small deck outside of the lower sliding glass doors, with a pergola added, gives a quiet shady respite to the yard. We also had Hal design and build a fountain feature added to the garden area itself. Which gives a soft and flowing water sound near the small deck. The work overall is outstanding with a very finished look. It was also accomplished as per estimate of time and cost. They were very considerate to make the work space neat and clean each day at finish time.
We would "highly" recommend these contractors to anyone wanting this type of excellent yard work done. "
"Al came to do the job. The shower looks like-new. It's beautiful. We were very happy with their services, and have contacted them since about another job. He was very quick and knowledgeable."
"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!"
"Tom was FANTASTIC - very responsive to calls, very punctual, and the quality of his work was excellent. He was really friendly and did not hesitate to explain different aspects of what he was doing. I would highly recommend this company! "
"I think the finishing around the window could've been a little bit nicer. Our basement isn't really finished. It still the brick wall, cement wall.It just seems like it could've been finished off more than it was. They were quick. I didn't see a lot of debris or anything. I know sawing through cement can be messy but they seemed to be very clean and efficient. They were out here pretty quick. We checked around and they were very reasonable."
If you can’t repair and repurpose your shed, it might be possible to sell it, donate it, or salvage parts rather than them just ending up in a landfill. Professional junk removal services will advise you on what can and will be recycled. You may also want to keep some parts to upcycle them for other projects around your home. Turning planks from your memory-filled wooden shed into a coffee table or bed headboard is good for the environment and the soul.
A steel frame costs 10% to 20% more than a wood frame. Wood is a much easier material to work with, more accessible, and generally more affordable than steel—plus, you need specialized tools to work with steel.
A simple A-frame chicken coop can take as little as three hours to build, but a more substantial all-in-one coop to house a large flock can take four or five days to build. Consult a local handyperson or custom coop builder for a time estimate based on the specific details of your project.
Concrete blocks are the cheapest way to base a shed. However, the space in between allows critters to go under, burrow, and even damage your shed’s frame. For a more pest-proof option, consider building a shed base with gravel or paver stones. Both options are fairly affordable and easy enough for a DIY project. For gravel, you can build a wooden frame to contain the loose material.
Complex plumbing is tricky and expensive in an off-the-ground dwelling like this. By considering options like composting toilets, rainwater collection, and gray-water sinks, you save money and help the environment.
