"Honest, responsive and reliable. Lincoln was initially hired to replace/repair rotten facia boards . They wrapped the existing boards in aluminum while replacing rotten sections as needed. I requested additional unplanned work to remove siding from bay windows and to repair and paint the underneath trim. Al is quite personable and he made every effort to ensure that I was satisfied with the work being done. Just to add that Luis, his assistant, is an excellent craftsman. Lincoln prices were reasonable andwould certainly consider them for future projects."
"His Crew is just awesome, they not only fixed the mess left by another contractor, they gave me options to expand a room and make it look even better"
"Prestige Construction was excellent!!! I called and asked for a quote, the price was reasonable, I accepted, and got a brand new roof within a week! They were quick and got the job done. I would definitely recommend this company to anyone!!!"
"We were not pleased with the work of this company. While the price is right, there were so many things that went wrong on the job that I'm not sure if I can remember all of them. First of all, when I hire a painter, my assumption is that they will work on my job only until the project is complete. This was not the case. The painters left the job for days on end, being called to other locations. The work was sloppy in numerous places - we had to keep calling them back to correct things. I also had bedroom furniture damaged when the workers moved my end tables to another room - they didn't take the care necessary to protect them. Walls under light covers/cable covers were not painted - they were left the original color of the rooms. My bedroom wall has cracked in one place already - as they didn't do the repair needed in that area evidently to prevent that from happening. Paint has chipped in other areas - something which should not happen so soon after completion. At exterior painting they also didn't take care to protect elements of the home properly. I had paint spatter covering newly installed railings at my front walkway, stains applied incorrectly on wood lattice which they installed (numerous empty areas - should have used a spray gun for that or painted it before installation), totally ruined my exterior balcony door with using too thick a layer of paint on it. There were paint brush hairs all over the door as well, paint on screens (why they weren't removed or covered is beyond me), spattered paint on a custom mailbox, and the same on our house number plaque. There is more, but I'll just leave it at it was an extremely sloppy job which took literally WEEKS to complete and I was told it would take less than 1 week. While there were some circumstances that made the job take longer (some weather related and some of his workers having personal problems), the amount of errors exceeded what would be considered excusable. The only good thing I can say is that from far away, the house looks ok and, the owner Phil (others mention a different name, not sure why) tried to be as pleasant as possible throughout this. "
"My wife and I DO NOT use anyone who is not on Angie's List so we understand the importance of having accurate, fair reviews. We found Cary on Angie's List with overall great feedback on jobs he had done so we called him in for an estimate. Despite being very busy, he made the time to come over on a Saturday morning. He had previously dropped by and assessed the damage from the outside but needed to see it from the inside to ensure he could judge it accurately. After 15 minutes, our fears were realized and he said he would need to remove the cedar impression siding and remove the roof and replace it with a different system because the pitch wasn't steep enough. Within 48 hours, he provided a quote for his crew to come out and get the work done in a single day which was completely reasonable. He completed the work (guaranteed) as promised and left the site immaculate. He took pictures of the issue, of job progress and of the completed job. He mentioned he went around and filled some other issues he noticed while he was waiting for his crew to wrap up, no charge at all. He then discounted the quoted, agreed price 5% for angie's list deal I wasn't even aware of. Have you ever heard of a contractor accept less than an agreed price? Me neither. Angie's List is a great resource for people to share experiences. I think the contractors who are honest and reasonable should be applauded too. We have been on the receiving end of some really lousy service so this was a new experience having someone do what they promised to do. Cary and his crew are the best in Monmouth County. We already have him pricing out finishing a storage space and will use him to build our deck in the spring. I cannot recommend Cary enough and you can reach me through Cary if you'd like to see his work firsthand. Kevin "
"We moved into our new home and Andres and his professional and organized crew painted every room. It was done in a neat, courteous and efficient time schedule. A great job and a pleasure to work with and we will continue to use AAA services. We highly recommend !!"
"Right from the get go Mark was a very responsive and courteous professional contractor. He was able to repair wood siding on my house that several other contractors did not want to touch, so a positive problem solver! Window trim around a difficult to reach window in the basement was also repaired which came out perfect, as well as some rotting wood on the outside trim of the house. I would definitely recommend this contractor."
"The entire process was easy and to my satisfaction. The professionals were knowledgeable and courteous. I will definitely hire them again for additional home projects."
"Contacted Mark and he quickly responded. We quickly walked through mortgage application and he found a great rate with favorable terms. Mark assisted us through the entire process, ensuring we were on schedule. He even helped us find better hazards insurance rate than we found on our own. Throughout the process, Mark was very responsive, always available and went the extra mile - often swinging by our house to drop off materials. I would not hesitate to use Mark again. "
If you can’t repair and repurpose your shed, it might be possible to sell it, donate it, or salvage parts rather than them just ending up in a landfill. Professional junk removal services will advise you on what can and will be recycled. You may also want to keep some parts to upcycle them for other projects around your home. Turning planks from your memory-filled wooden shed into a coffee table or bed headboard is good for the environment and the soul.
Choose a barn door with an extra two to three inches on either side of the frame. The width of the barn door will depend on the type and placement of your track, but in most cases, an additional inch or two will do the trick.
Yes, barn doors can be too heavy, although the limitation is usually imposed by the mounting hardware you buy and not your home’s framing, unless you’re building an unusually wide door. To keep the weight down, you can opt for 1-by material rather than 2-by material, and choose a softwood like pine rather than a hardwood like maple or oak. Check the weight limits on your mounting hardware, and always attach your door track to studs rather than to drywall anchors.
The best lumber for building will be the strongest and most eco-friendly wood your budget allows. That being said, Douglas fir, pine, oak, and maple are all common building materials. Contractors will use a strong, inexpensive wood to frame a house or other structure and finer woods like mahogany for detail work.
If you’re building a pole barn in place of a traditional home, lenders usually don’t offer traditional mortgages for these structures. You can also expect higher insulation costs and building permits may not be allowed in your area. Even if you’re just using a pole barn as storage or as a shelter for animals, these structures are less durable than steel buildings and require more maintenance.
