"The ooommee team has been very professional and easy to work with. Their quality of work was exceptional.
In addition to installation of the Greenhouse, their team was able to do the required plumbing, electrical and carpentry work with attention to details - these guys was a one stop shop."
"The father/son team did great building our 6ft wood privacy fence and interior 4ft wood parking area. We would definitely recommend them to family and friends!"
"Glenn is very knowledgeable and very skilled. He is honest and came in below his estimate range. He skilfully handled a tricky situation with the existing carpentry (done by a predecessor) being out of square. He is very responsive and detailed."
"Elias did excellent work on replacing our old deck with a new trex deck. He completed the job ahead of schedule. I would definitely recommend him and will be hiring him for future work."
"Roof installation Job was completed on time and with no problems. Great customer service and professional attitude. Would greatly recommend to anyone wanting a quality job."
"Tammy and David are wonderful, kind people who are expert in what they do! I met them at a time when I needed a kitchen remodel. My new refrigerator was lonely and needed cabinets around it. I explained what I wanted and, most important to me, they listened! I also had a cabinet that enclosed the old frig...I wanted that one to house my microwave on the upper portion with slide out shelves on the lower. As a matter of fact, I wanted sliding shelves around the new frig too. Later that evening, Tammy sent a computer graphic of the final product after I asked for a change in design...I approved it and they were on their way! Tammy and David had the necessary information and promised two weeks for installation to occur. Exactly two weeks from our first meeting, they began the installation; a day later, it was completed! The cabinets are absolutely beautiful, a testament to their expertise! I am beyond ecstatic every time I see them! Additionally, I should mention that my home is old with floors that do not always demonstrate the word level! They compensated for that in their design; in fact, there was still a slight problem with the refrigerator after the install...it was leaning backwards. I texted them about it. They came over, after some very busy hours of working on another project, to make sure the frig was level. When David said that they weren't leaving until this problem was solved, I knew I had chosen the best people. The problem was corrected and I couldn't be happier. Besides being incredible carpenters, they are good, caring people! They make a great team...I wholeheartedly recommend them! Thank you Tammy and David!"
"We wanted a freestanding deck with a pergola. Tim did a fantastic job! We ended up with a more esthetically appealling design, cost effective shape and better placement of the deck, all from his input and we love it. I've never used home advisor or any site like that, but I had received so many quotes that seemed outrageous, I gave it a go. Specialty builders were reasonably priced, professional, hard working, efficient and left absolutely no clean up for me. I have nothing but good feelings from the people and the experience; I will be calling them next time."
"Highly recommend. I had several repairs needed around my house. Gault met with me within one day, carefully reviewed all of my items, and provided thoughtful perspectives. I expressed that one repair was particularly urgent and Gault worked with me to have the work performed the very next day. The work was done with very high quality and professionalism. I am very satisfied and look forward to potential future engagements.
The urgent work we had done was replacing a load bearing 6x6 leg on my screened-in porch."
It's possible to turn your carport into a living space, but there are additional factors to address over turning it into a garage. HVAC, plumbing, and electricity won't be optional, and you'll need finished flooring, drywall, trim work, and legal ceiling height, for starters. Also, keep in mind that living space conversions may require upgrading the foundation underneath, and the permits might be more expensive as well.
Framing a house with steel generally takes less time—around five to eight weeks—than most building materials. The steel components can also be made quickly off-site and manufactured with pre-punched holes for running piping and electrical wiring, which will lessen the prep work and extra labor during construction.
Modern brick houses are really stick-built homes with a brick facade for aesthetic purposes only, so most have framing. With genuine brick construction, most homeowners install furring strips over the interior of the brick and then install drywall over those strips to cover the brick wall, so they don’t have traditional framing.
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.
For maximum stability, install grab bars on wall studs, as this will adequately support the weight. However, if you don't have access to studs, you can get by with wall anchors. If opting for the latter, choose specialty hollow wall anchors.
