At Steele Services, LLC, we are jacks/janes of all trades! We can do anything from yard work and landscaping to replacing doors, building furniture, interior and exterior painting, interior design and organization, hanging items of all sizes, simple plumbing tasks like replacing faucets/shower heads, installing electrical items like ceiling fans and lighting, and installing some types of flooring. There’s really not much we can’t do and we're learning new trades all the time. Sarah also studied drafting and design in college and specialized in architecture, and converted a school bus into an rv a few years ago and did all the building, wiring and plumbing herself. Phoenix is an indoor designer and builds sets for films and commercial projects. We love building things and doing hands-on work! We also work quick but still pay close attention to detail. So if you need something different than the usual handyman, consider hiring a handy ma'am with Steele Services!
"I recently bought a 50+ year old home that had been empty for a while and was fairly neglected. I had a long project list, and wanted one contractor to run the whole thing. I had no problem with them sub-contracting out as needed, but I did not want to manage it myself. So I took estimates from many "general contractors" and one from Pro Plumbing. They don't advertise it, but Thad Hedrick IS a general contractor. They got the bid. It was not the money that won it, though they were in the same general ballpark as the others. One of the things I wanted done was replacing my ancient electric cook top with a gas cook top, which would require a new gas line. Thad was the only contractor who mentioned that he would test the gas pressure to see if I needed a new meter - without sufficient pressure, I might not get what I needed with more than one gas appliance running at the same time. That impressed me. I don't know anything about gas, but with water, it makes sense that the more hoses you take off the same source, the less water output you get from each. Thad and his crew did all of the plumbing work, including installing a new soaking tub, new drain pipe, new gas lines, new utility sink and faucet, and new drain for the washing machine. They also installed the cook top, and modified the wall cabinet when they removed the old oven, so both an oven and a microwave would fit in that space (this required wood work, and it turns out that Thad is also a fine carpenter). They installed a range hood, discovered that the existing duct went straight into the attic (OH NO), and gave me a new duct. I had all the windows replaced, and eventually had the soffits covered with vinyl, vinyl siding on the sunroom, and a new sliding door installed (add-ons to the original plans). I had insulation installed under the floor, and a new vapor barrier installed. I had new linoleum installed in the laundry room. There was electrical work involved with installing the stove, the new oven, and a new fireplace insert (and I had new lights installed on the sunroom soffits, with one of them in a new location). I had the whole house air conditioner replaced, and a mini-split installed in the sunroom. Thad's office organized all of the contractors involved, scheduling them, chasing after them, and generally making sure that the job got done. There were days when I had 4 or 5 trucks out front and contractors all over the place from various companies. There were times during the project when I knew that something needed to be done, but I did not know what I wanted to do. For example, I'd hoped to keep the existing tile in the bathroom when we took out the tub, but it was not possible, so I needed an alternative. When we took out the A/C wall/window unit, I had a hole to fill and no way to match the existing finishes; I needed an idea. Thad would talk it over with me, and usually had several options to suggest, and once I made a decision, implemented it - and all of it turned out better than I had hoped. There were also times when I decided I *might* want an add-on, and I would tell Thad what I was considering, and he would get options and costs for me, so I could decide which way I wanted to go. In that way, the replacement windows turned into full vinyl on all exterior non-brick surfaces and I now have a maintenance free home - with new shutters too! If I had any questions or concerns, I called Anita at the office and she just handled it. If a sub-contractor didn't show up, or I didn't like the way something was done, or didn't understand what was done, I called Anita and she took care of it. I have never seen the woman, but there were days I spoke to her several times - when this massive project was completed, I sent her flowers. All of it cost a lot, but... given all that I had done, it cost much less than I'd expected. In addition, I simply enjoyed having Thad and Travis around - they are pleasant to be with, and seemed to be as careful with my home as they would be with their own. I never had a huge mess left around to clean after they had been working here, and they were careful that we all were on the same page before they started doing anything. I'm impressed with Thad's expertise and with his bevy of sub-contractors. The job got done with much less disruption than I expected. I even got a new landscape manager out of it - I was so impressed with Thad and his familiarity with the local contractors I asked if he could recommend someone better than the mow-and-blow types I'd been using and he did - that looks like it will be a long relationship and the yard is going to be beautiful. I do have additional projects in mind, and Thad and Pro Plumbing will be the first ones I call. "

We recently purchased a 2nd home on Lake James with an exterior that is 100% cedar. The exterior was in serious need of cleaning and re-staining. It had not been maintained; and, had a significant amount of mold staining and several areas of the trim had the original finish peeling off.
We contracted with Mike and Crystal to prep and re-stain the exterior of our home. Throughout the process, Mike demonstrated thoroughness, competency and responsibility. Mike and Crystal took personal responsibility to ensure they delivered a quality product. Mike kept his commitments and did not compromise his work product even when faced with the stripping process taking more time than he expected. He completed the project per the schedule he committed.
Mike demonstrated a high attention to detail in the finishing process and ensured the project was completed to my satisfaction. The home looks beautiful...we could not be happier.
I solicited bids from several paint contractors and evaluated several before selecting Mike. His pricing was very competitive versus several other contractors; but, I never observed where Mike cut corners.
I would definitely recommend MIke's Painting and will plan to use Mike again when we have painting needs.

"When we decided to redo our kitchen in April of 2012, we knew what we wanted fixed, our budget and that's about it. We started talking to contractors, kitchen design centers and researching ideas. We quickly realized we were in WAY over our heads. A lot of places offer free design services if you buy all of your materials through them. We didn't want to be tied down. We didn't want a complete tear down to the studs, either. Homemade Design to the rescue! First of all the price was an absolute steal for the service provided. Amanda and co. Listened to what we wanted and came up with inovative,functional and beautiful solutions. Our house is old. We wanted to keep that 1920s feel, but still have a dishwasher, granite countertops and stainless appliances! Amanda had the brilliant idea of only replacing the bottom cabinets. She also gave me excellent instructions on how to refinish my existing cabinets so they look like new. This was a perfect solution for US. Homemade Design gave us ideas for layout, cabinets, lighting, wall paint, appliances, furniture, countertops, backsplash, faucets, sink,and cusions for built in. She would have recommended flooring if we wanted,but we didn't. Now, Amanda is more like a consultant...( I actually called her my kitchen remodel therapist). You still are ultimately responsible for the plan and what works for you. If your measurements are off (like mine were) that's on you. I was adament about no island and no microwave over the stove and so she didn't put those in the design. Some suggestions were not my style. And I said so. Honestly, if I picked out my own kitchen it would be so safe: white subway tile or something. Amanda gave me the guts to mix patterns and create something spectacular! It took almost a year to complete ( contractors fault) We did a lot of work ourselves. We bought the cabinets, backsplash tile, light fixtures, table and banquette cusions through Homemade Design at a great discount, we checked!! If you try shopping for any part of your kitchen, the volume of choices can be overwhelming. We loved having Amanda narrow it down for us. Communication was through email, mostly. She never took longer than three business days to respond to my million questions or concerns. Awesome. 5 months later, my kitchen is a dream come true. And I owe it all to Homemade Design! "
"I contacted several contractors about doing the work I needed done. Tony was the only one that stayed in contact with me and completed the job in 2 days Outstanding company to do business with. Very professional and high quality performance. I will use this company again on future projects. Highly recommend this company to anyone wanting home improvements done."
An A-frame home can be cheaper to build than a traditional house, but that is not always a given. Prices can be fairly similar in some cases, depending on the location, design, and necessary site preparation. Costs for an A-frame typically run between $100 to $200 per square foot, which is comparable to the cost of a traditional home. The cost of an A-frame can come in under those numbers if you opt for a prefabricated kit.
In framing, studs are placed at 16-inch intervals to coincide with the typical spacing of wall materials such as drywall or plywood. This spacing is called "on-center" and is necessary for maintaining structural stability and efficient use of materials. The 16-inch spacing also helps to distribute the weight evenly across the building's structure. For those looking to cut material costs and improve energy efficiency, 24-inch stud spacing can be employed through a method called "advanced framing". This requires careful planning and adherence to local building codes to ensure structural integrity.
Yes, most services include necessary frame modifications for proper door fitting. Confirm with your provider.
To calculate the number of linear feet of baseboard you’ll need, measure the length of each wall of the room you’re installing them in as close to the floor as possible, rounding up to the next full linear foot. If it’s your first DIY molding job, having a few extra feet on hand for miscuts is a good idea.
Learning how to frame a house includes picking the right lumber for the job. Most people will want to pick pine, spruce, or fir for the framing. These types of lumber are affordable and produce sturdy framing for structures. Look for kiln-dried lumber to reduce the risk of shrinkage or insect damage after installation. As part of what’s included in framing a house when you hire a professional, the contractor should order the lumber, so you don’t have to worry about finding the right lumber.
