"Let me start by saying this review has been a long time coming! The day before New Yearâ s Eve 2021 my basement suffered a sewer water flood. My family and I packed up our things and vacated the house and were put up in a hotel. I was in way over my head with the insurance end of things and cleanup in the basement so when it came time to find someone to fix the basement I was already at my wits end. At the urging of a friend, I reached out to Kevin and as soon as he arrived I knew he was a good fit. First and foremost, one of his priorities was the well-being of my three-year-old. Covid had ramped back up again and we living in a hotel. He assured me that he would get everything done and help me work with the insurance company. On the day Kevin and his team were set to come start working there was an impending ice storm in the forecast- I figured he would cancel, but he didnâ t. Kevin and his team came and started to get to work and eventually called it a day once the storm was starting. His team worked quickly and smoothly to get us out of the hotel even working on Saturdays so we didnâ t lose time. Kevin was always available when I called him or had a question and he showed up often to check on the work himself. Iâ ve dealt with many contractors and many are hands off- Kevin was not that way and even stepped in to do work himself to help get us finished and out of the hotel. I canâ t recommend him enough and am eternally grateful that he made a stressful time easier."

"I was once told by a master stair builder that if you want to evaluate a general contractors work, look in the dumpster at the job site for an excessive amount of used caulk tubes indicating that they are covering up mistakes. Recently we completed a very challenging project that required the excavation under our old seasonal home in conjunction with a significant 2-story addition. After interviewing three reputable and recommended contractors, we decided to work with Dave Nessel, owner of Unique Construction. Dave presented a clear concise estimate of the scope for the work proposed, the costs we should expect and a timeframe for completion; all proved to be very accurate. He and his team of true artisans obviously enjoyed their work. Laughter and music would usually overshadow the sound of the power tools that were working in synchrony. The exceptional fit and finish in a clean and neat environment were easily appreciated. Dave is truly a meticulous visionary. During the project, he was never shy about recommending esthetic modifications which deviated from the architects drawings. Whether these change orders originated from him or us, they were never with exorbitant fees, but were billed for time and materials used. The final result far exceeded our expectations. My wife and I would recommend Dave Nessel and Unique Construction without any reservation. Unique Construction….minimal caulk required"

"Professionals from beginning to end of project. Emiljano was helpful with recommending and suggesting based on my budget. Him and his team are super trust worthy, they worked on my bathroom for a week while I was away. My bathroom is beautiful and I receive so many compliments. I already have a few neighbors wanting to work with him. His work ethic is amazing and customer satisfaction is his priority. Will be working with Emiljano on all my home projects."

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Most of the time, you’ll want to use screws on your subfloor rather than nails. Nails can actually weaken plywood, whereas screws can easily penetrate without damage. They also form a more secure connection because of their shape, preventing squeaky floors and tightly holding the subfloor in place. That said, some contractors do prefer nails depending on the type of floor covering because they allow for more flexibility.

Building involves setting foundation posts, framing with durable wood, adding roofing support, and protecting from elements with water-resistant finishes.

There are both temporary and permanent ways to enclose a carport. If you’re looking to enclose your carport for the winter, a canvas enclosure could do the trick. It won’t be as protective as a permanent structure, but it can offer some protection from elements like snow, rain, and wind. For a permanent enclosure, you can add extra walls, add a new vertical roof, or a lean-to addition on one side of the structure.

When hanging a door frame, it’s recommended that you use screws, not nails. Screws are more secure, easier to tighten, and easier to remove if you need to adjust the frame. On average, the cost to replace a door frame is about $400, but you can save on labor costs if you’re confident in your ability to DIY the project. 

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.
