"I had a great experience with this company. They contacted me regarding some roofing needs i had, and came out the same day to provide an estimate. The next morning they came and started project. Very nice, honest, and i was very satisfied with my roof afterwards. I would definitely recommend this company for any roofing needs!"

"We love our cabinets! They look fantastic while remaining affordable. The friendly staff at AWD helped us from start to finish. They are very knowledgeable and gave us advice and tips when needed. They were receptive and patient with our ever-changing needs. Once we finalized our purchase, we received our cabinets within two weeks! The cabinets are very sturdy and the color is beautiful. The hinges and hardware are high quality. We are extremely pleased with AWD and would recommend them to any friends or family looking for good cabinets at a fair price."

"had purchased this on a Deal. I moved my office to the in-law suite, and wanted something outside my norm - yet not too jarring. The decoraator is in Mass. We communicated via email, Pinterest., Houzz, their website and phone conference. I planned to reuse my light cherry office furniture, but needed to get rid of the white wall look. I sent photos of the room and a floor plan. I answered their online style questionaire and sent photo of the furnishing, my favorite Arts n Crafys desktop lamp and some of the art work I wanted to use. The result was a vibrant palate that is invigorating and joyful to work in. Using the colors from some paintings I collected in Africa15 years ago and my electric taste. the result was very bold. (Formerly my definition of bold was any color other than white or beige. The cair rail and lower walls are a terracotta with a rich deep gold on top. The remaining woodwork and doors are a dark slate gray with a satin finish. (Really - no white glossy woodwork.) I feel like I am in some exotic place when I work. I have met with other designers in the past. They ask your likes, then tell you what think regardless. Not so here, the process was interactive, two sided and balanced. The results are stunnung. I wouldn't hesitate to use them again, even if no big deal is available.

"Preston of G-1 Plumbing performed the services and addressed the toilet & drain problem. He was unable to stop leak(made it worse) & submitted his recs to Choice Home for review. I was unable to understand Choice Home's response regarding the faucet leak. Their review stated faucet needed to be replaced BUT it was under "builder's warranty." I built this home in 2005. There is no "builder's warranty" now. I cancelled the proposed work order & paid out-of-pocket. A Friend, who was familiar with my builder and knows faucet components, came to my home, adjusted/cleaned the faucet cartridge and stopped the leak. The CHW tech, Preston, is conscientiuos, however, IMHO lacked the knowledge & experience to stop my leak. Home Warranty Companies, at least in my area, hire owner/operators who need the work to build their business and are NOT the most experienced/knowledgeable & are willing to work for less money. In my experience, Home Warranty Companies want the CHEAPEST resolution, not the BEST. I would recommend G-1 Plumbing for most plumbing issues."

"

Weatherguard did a beautiful job on my roof!  My home is an A-frame so the roof is VERY important to the overall look of the house.  When my last "lifetime" aluminum roof (designed to look like cedar shakes) was damaged in the April 2011 storms, I wanted to replace it with a more durable material.  I did some research and found Gerard's stone-coated steel roofing materials which are Class 4 rated but have the look of cedar shakes.  I had just had a very, very bad experience with a previous roofer who took my $12,000 deposit and never performed the job, so I was EXTREMELY cautious about selecting another roofing company.  I got a good reference from someone I trusted and Weatherguard did not disappoint.  Weatherguard's crew (led by Hector) did great job.  My neighbors even commented on what a hard-working crew we had working on the house. Based on quotes given by other roofing companies, I was very pleased with the price.  The overall look of the roof is even better than I expected.

I was also EXTREMELY pleased with the roofing product I chose, the Gerard stone-coated steel shake (website:  www.gerardusa.com).  My insurance company (State Farm) actually offers a premium discount based on the selection of this roofing material (they have a list of Class 4 roofing material manufacturers whose products qualify for the discount).  The rep for my region was awesome --- can't say enough good things about Aaron Leland.  I had relayed to him what had happened with the first roofer I had hired and he made it his person mission to make sure I had a good experience with the Gerard roof.  He worked closely with Weatherguard to make sure I was well pleased with the final outcome (both in terms of cost and performance).

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Not all porch columns are load-bearing, though they can be. Some porch columns are simply decorative. There are ways to identify a load-bearing column, like looking for visible seams and a foundation. Also, check to see if the column directly enters the ground. In some porch installations, a contractor will excavate a hole to install a column into the earth along with a buried cement base for stability.

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.

When building a house, it is customary to use 16d nails that measure 3 1/2 inches in length to construct the frame. These nails are crucial in providing the necessary support and stability for structural elements like joists and studs, which ensures a sturdy framework.

Joists do distribute their load to beams, but they don’t sit on top of the beams. Instead, home builders nail or screw the joists directly to the beams such that the end of the joist butts up against the edge of the beam. Beams can sit on other beams for support, but you’ll never see a joist sitting on top of a beam or another joist.

Framing is the shell of the house. It includes several steps, including studs, plumbing, and electricity. A professional will ensure the wall frame is secured for the house’s structural integrity. 

Framing prices change depending on the material and whether the wall is load-bearing. Most contractors use wood to frame a home, but metal is another popular choice.
