"As a single mother the thought of hiring a contractor to help with my home improvement needs was intimidating to say the least. For the past 2 years my daughter and I had lived without a working hvac system. I contacted multiple hvac contractors who came and quoted a replacement unit that was way beyond my budget. I was given Robby’s contact information from a mutual friend. I contacted Robby and asked him if he could come out and give me a 2nd opinion on an hvac replacement. The day was scheduled and as promised Robby was there to take a look. After careful inspection of the hvac unit Robby determined that it did in fact need to be replaced. he assured me that he would not rest until we could come to a price to fit within my budgets ($4,500) which came as a huge surprise seeing how all other estimates were between $7,500-$8,500. As promised Robby came through and supplied a reconditioned air handler for $2,000 which we installed immediately. Throughout the winter my daughter and I have enjoyed for the 1st time in 2 years a working furnace in our home. To further assist we are waiting til spring to install the new a coil and condensing unit which will cost an additional $2,500. This has come as an answer to prayer seeing how I was able to get through the winter with a wonderful working furnace for only $2,000 and the remaining balance will be paid this spring for the new ac unit. I highly recommend Ace Handyman & Sons and have no doubt that they will go above and beyond to meet the needs of their clients."

"I never contacted the provider or used this service in anyway. I have to
write this review so that the request to write this review stops
popping up.
The rating is bogus as it is required to be able to submit.

"They've done good work. The quality is really good. Once they started the work it was done quickly, about two days. Rock solid and perfect clean up. Good technicians. They know exactly what they are doing. They give you a discount if you put a sign in your yard, the contract is put a sign up for a week a few times a year. They seemed to forgot to come get the sign a few times.

"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.

"It has been a pleasure to do business with Ahmed construction. They provide very fair price on bidding. The administrative project manager Mr Albert is a hard working guy. Him along with the Mr Judy did the decking and replaced some studs on an addition remodel project. I highly recommend Ahmed construction and I will hire them again for any future project"

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Yes, a one-story house can have a load-bearing wall. The load-bearing walls in a single-story home are usually the exterior walls. If the house has a basement with exposed walls, the arrangement of the beams can help indicate what walls are load-bearing.

Traditionally, bungalows are single-story homes, although having a half or partial story on top of the first floor is common. While adding a second story to a bungalow is certainly possible, the home would no longer be considered a bungalow by the strictest definition.

Most of the time, you’ll want to use screws on your subfloor rather than nails. Nails can actually weaken plywood, whereas screws can easily penetrate without damage. They also form a more secure connection because of their shape, preventing squeaky floors and tightly holding the subfloor in place. That said, some contractors do prefer nails depending on the type of floor covering because they allow for more flexibility.

You should avoid drilling or cutting into load-bearing beams because removing material will weaken it and increase the risk of structural damage or even collapse. If you do need to drill into a load-bearing beam, speak with a structural engineer first to discuss where it’s safest to drill and the width and depth of the bit that’s safe to use.

Costs depend on furniture type, size, complexity, and whether additional modifications are needed.
