"We absolutely loved working with Bolte Construction. Bill and Geoff are both knowledgeable, friendly, fun to work with, and very protective of their clients' needs. We were nervous about hiring a contractor for the first time, and we were blown away by how great Bill and Geoff were. We could not have asked for a better experience. We contacted Bill based on other reviews on Angie's List. He came to the house and we described what we were looking to do -- add a kitchenette and laundry facilities to our finished basement. I had a rough sketch that I provided for the kitchenette. Bill assessed the locations we had picked out for the kitchenette and laundry room. He estimated what he thought it would take to get them done and gave us a rough guess on the cost. He was very knowledgeable and incredibly friendly. He had us laughing and really put us at ease. There was no doubt that we had found our contractor. We loved him instantly. Bill does not do design, so he gave us his preferred suppliers for design, cabinets, tiles, etc. While we were working on that, Bill had his contractors (plumbing, electrical, etc.) come to the house and evaluate the work. Once all of this was done, Bill worked up a final estimate and we got the work scheduled. Bill and Geoff (well, mostly Geoff!) got the basement ready for work. We have a walkout basement, so plans were made for everyone to come in and out of that door instead of using the front door. They pulled back the carpet all the way to the door to protect the carpet from damage. They also put up plastic sheeting to help contain the dust that would inevitably be flying around. They were so careful with our things and did everything they could to protect them. And all the while they were just incredibly enjoyable to have around! All the work went really smoothly. Bill works with great contractors, so you can trust that the job will be done well. Geoff was here frequently to check in on the work and make sure things were going well (and to help out where needed). Bill also stopped by from time to time. If I had any questions about the schedule or the work, I could contact Geoff and he always got back to me right away. Throughout the process, we felt like we were in great hands. From the moment we met Bill, and then later Geoff, we felt really confident about the whole project. By the time it was done, you couldn't even tell any construction had taken place, except that we had a beautiful new kitchenette and new laundry facilities. The experience was above and beyond what we had hoped for because Bill and Geoff are so great. We will definitely hire Bolte Construction again, and we cannot recommend them more highly."

"Ran into difficulties not caused by the contractor.  This left the project unfinished for sometime and then it was hard to get them back to finish the project.  However, the quality of the finished project was completed as was agreed and specified.

"My wife and I were very pleased with the professionalism, communication, and attention to detail of Paul and Ryan at Marathon Services.  I did a lot of research before choosing a contractor and was very pleased with my decision.
With the rainy weather this spring, we kept in contact about the start date and Marathon delivered as promised.  Paul and Ryan walked me through all the details of the roof replacement, including ventilation and some areas that would need extra special attention.  For example, the chimney on my house is placed in such a way that if the roof isn't properly done, it may cause problems, but they were very detailed in the amount of work they did in this area.  Ryan is a chimney expert, and his expertise came in handy for this job.
It was very apparent to me that Paul and Ryan really care about the quality of work they do and take pride in it.  They also care about the relationship with their customers, and did whatever was necessary to make sure that I have a quality roof for years to come.

"Ryan and the team at Cabinet Clad did a wonderful job - from the first visit to my home to see what we could do to the sit down in the show room to "dream" ... what a great experience...  Still trying to decide if I'm moving forward with the remodel but that has nothing to do with the service I have received - I would use these guys for sure...

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

When deciding if you should use 2x6 or 2x8 deck joists, consider the size of the deck, joist spacing, and materials. Larger decks, larger-spaced joists, and weaker wood all require more support, meaning they need larger joists. For example, 2x8 redwood joists spaced 16 inches apart can only safely span up to 10 feet and 7 inches. On the other hand, 2x10 southern pine joists spaced 12 inches apart can be as big as 16 feet and 2 inches. If you aren’t sure what size joist is best for your project, speak with your deck builder.

House framing can be expensive because the materials are pricey, and the job requires a high level of expertise. The more complex the plans, the more expensive the job, but even the most basic frame needs to be installed with high-quality materials and precision. When pricing your home’s framework, remember that a sturdy frame is necessary to create a safe structure.

Homeowners can increase the usefulness of their garage space in other ways, and one option is to extend the length of the garage by making it deeper. The process is similar to traditional garage extensions, but the end product is a garage with a different layout rather than additional parking spaces. 

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.
