"There were snags as you might expect with a job this size, but none were as a result of Walt. He is great! We did have issues with one of his sub-contractors, but I don't think Walt will be using them again."

"Great! Ken Starr, our Project Leader, was wonderful to work with and kept us in the loop. All the Contractors were so professional and although, we didn't reside here during the remodel, I came over everyday and brought our dog, Maxine, to stay here while I had appointments and ran errands. You realize you are working with great folks when they love on your dog! She loved all the guys and all the belly rubs! I especially appreciated Kenny and Larry for their overall expertise on all the areas of our remodel. They both educated and reassured me throughout the process. They were a joy to have around. Anytime I had a question, they were here to answer all my concerns. The Painters led by Carlos were so great to work with, the Electrician, Jonathan Medlin, was awesome and helped me pick out a suitable exterior ceiling fan for our front porch, Jody, the Tile Guy was always concerned that I would like the grout color and even held up a day so I could come by and check it out. We now have a totally remodeled home much more functional than I would have ever imagined! Thank you all, Sandra C."

"Bill and Billy were very professional and efficient with the projects I had at my home. They built me and 2 car garage and deck off the back of my house. Pricing was very fair and the quality of their work was top notch. They're family owned and operated. I highly recommend them as a general contractor and builder for any home projects."

"Hired Joe to install electrical outlets in the middle of our living room floor for our new electric couches. As always, the three man crew it was professional, thorough, and just a great bunch of guys. The owner's, Joe and Lisa were here to oversee the work to make sure everything was done to Joe's high standards of quality. They also installed two new plugs on our porches. These guys do it all, and they do it well! Anytime I need anything done with my home for now on, Dixie Home Improvements is the first place I'm gonna call. Highly recommend!"

"EXCELLENT craftsmanship. Super high quality work. Very communicative - never ghosted us or left us in the dark. Five stars on all of that!! The only reason I don't give 5 stars overall is the timeline. We were originally quoted 8-10 weeks for our screened porch and it took a lot longer. There were things out of his control that contributed to that, so we understood. And again, he kept us in the loop. He also built us a new shed during that time and that slowed down the progress of the porch as well. We loved Calvin and would be happy to have him do more work for us."

They listened to what we wanted and added suggestions based on their experience and understanding. Seriously - I was impressed with the level of customer service, their overall concern for our satisfaction and the outcome of the project. Don't spend any more time looking for a deck contractor.

"I cannot say enough great things about Chuck!  One of the nicest and most honest contractors I have ever worked with (and I have been in real estate for years, still have 4 rental properties in Charlotte).  Always prompt, friendly, and very helpful - genuinely cared about us and our project!  And I am NOT the easiest guy to please (just ask Chuck!!! ha).  Anyway, he helped us design the new kitchen/eating area (completely different than our original thoughts - and he made the kitchen twice as efficient and feel twice as big!), we went back and forth (conveniently, via email) all the layouts until we were happy.  He came over to our house (in Charlotte) with cabinet, tile and granite samples....and spent an hour with us as we tried out different combinations.   Once the work began, he sent us before, during, and after pictures as work progressed.  This was especially helpful since we did not live there (our vacation home in Shelby).  Even when we thought of things "after the fact" (can you add outlets to the island?  How about under counter lights?  A pull-out cabinet for pots and pans? etc) - he was absolutely accommodating, and for the items that cost extra, he simply charged us the extra labor and materials...did not gouge us as some guys try to do.....and some changes, he even said "no problem, no charge" and it was done!  So, here are the two KEY reasons I would recommend Chuck and his guys to ANYONE.  First, when my folks came down to visit, my father (who built multi-million dollar houses in Connecticut) got down on his hands and knees to check out the attention to detail - how the cabinets met the appliances, the shoe molding, etc etc and was VERY IMPRESSED.  (And if you think I am hard to please...!!!)  And the second reason is that when we had a few small glitches a few weeks after the work was done (there is always something)....his guys came out within 24 hours and fixed everything to our complete satisfaction.  I will say that he was toward the higher end of the quotes we received....but as they say, "you get what you pay for" and I would absolutely use Chuck again, and recommend him to anyone!!!

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

You can choose 5/8-inch plywood or 3/4-inch plywood—anything thinner than these sizes may not withstand the impact of debris propelled by strong winds or can be easily torn off by intruders. Remember that the durability of the wood board is crucial, particularly for safeguarding your windows during severe storms. The effectiveness of using wood boards for protecting the investment you made in your home relies on using the appropriate material and ensuring proper installation.

Carpenters are trained to take on a wide range of home projects. You can hire a carpenter to do framing, roofing, build custom furniture, and make significant upgrades to your home. General carpenters are usually able to handle most jobs. However, you may also choose to hire a carpenter who specializes in a specific type of carpentry. 

Yes, you can hang picture frames, shelves, and other items on Trusscore panels. For lightweight items (less than 30 pounds), the company recommends using adhesive strips rather than nails or screws. However, you’ll need to secure heavier objects to a stud in the wall. In these situations, Trusscore recommends cutting away the panel material and fastening the object to the stud with metal hardware.

There are approximately 5.33 board feet in a 2x4. You can use the board foot calculator in this article to easily find the answer. A 2x4 is 2 inches of thickness by 4 inches of width, so you need to find the length, with 8 feet being the most common. You’d use the calculator here to multiply 2 times 4 times 8, and then divide by 12, arriving at a total of 5.33 board feet. 

A-frame homes are on the smaller side. While there’s no set square footage amount it has to be, it will usually come in around 1,000 square feet or smaller.
