"The project went really well. The builder communicated clearly at each step of the way and was open to substitutions. We opted for a different brand of decking besides what they usually use and our requests were nicely accommodated. The workers came when they said they would and completed the project on-time and left our property as they found it. The porch and deck look awesome! I would highly recommend this builder for decking projects. We are very satisfied."
"Timing: Initial estimate was done by Pete, the owner of PPF, in March. Installation was done in late August for the initial estimate amount.
Installation: Pete was originally scheduled to do the job on Thursday, Sept. 1st, but had some time on Tuesday, the 30th, and called to ask if it was okay to come early. I told him sure, but asked him to wait to install the gutter at the front of the house as I had some concerns about the best location for one of the downspouts. He and his helper arrived between 2 and 2:30 and by the time I got to the house around 4:30, the house was complete (except for the front area I asked him to wait to do) and they were just finishing up the garage. We talked about possible solutions for the front downspout for a good 10-15 minutes, during which time Pete held the downspout in different orientations while I walked around and looked at it from different angles. I was impressed with his patience in helping me figure out this somewhat minor detail (but important to my wife and I, as we invested a lot of time and effort during the renovation to make the house as visually appealing as possible!).
Everything was done neatly, installed solidly and both Pete and his helper were very nice to deal with. PPF was not the cheapest quote I got, but for the extra $200-250, I got a top quality job from a guy who knows what he's doing!"
"The addition to the front living room is used everyday and all parts are holding up and are still looking very nice. Service was good and happy with the addition.?Room that was added to the house was blending in to match the hardwood flooring that already in the house and everything looks great. The addition was just one of the items that was done. I have had several other rooms redone in the house that I am currently living in. Harold has also build counter tops and cabinets customized to my family needs. I have had the re-roof redone with Harold and the siding put on the house. I know Harold has been able to do anything that is needed that I have asked of him to complete."
"I called T & T on the late afternoon of 3/2/15 and spoke to owner Dave Thomas about an estimate to remove the snow. He asked if I would be up at 7:00 am the next day as he could be there then. He was right on time and brought a co-worker Andy. I explained what I wanted done. He gave me an estimate for $350 which seemed very fair. I asked him when the work could be done, he said right now. Dave and Andy not only removed the snow off the front and rear of the main second story roof, they also cleaned the screen house and garage roofs. They were also very neat in cleaning up all the snow afterwards. I was impressed with their responsiveness, punctuality and professionalism. I would be happy to recommend their services to anyone. "
"Mr. Mason answered his phone right away when I called on Saturday the 14th. He agreed to come out that day or the next to look at the work I needed done. I had a lot of snow and ice build-up on the roof of my home. He was prompt, friendly and accommodating. He gave me an estimate/typical fee range over the phone and told me he would be out to do the work on Tuesday the 17th. He arrived a day early with 2 other people and quickly and neatly removed the snow and ice. He also cleaned up after himself, as much as the nature of the work allowed. I am more than satisfied with his work. It's especially nice that he was able to accommodate me so quickly given the terrible weather we have had this winter. "
"Scheduled for 8 AM. I left a msg at about 8:30. Called approx 9:30 to advise they had a mechanical issue with the truck, and advised me they would be here in 2-3 hours, and they arrived within that timeframe. This was the "$99.00 per room" special. Advised me that it is actually for 250 sq ft per room, and more than that is 1.75/sq ft. The measurements revealed that it would be about $350.00 to complete my dining room, and $450.00 to complete my living room. I asked them to just paint the 250 sq ft per room and I would finish the rest. They completed that painting, it looks nicely done and their clean up was thorough. I just can't imagine paying that much more for the complete room (would be 550.00 total for my living room for just the walls). From my research, that does not appear to be competitive pricing. Overall, I think the "special" was deceptive, and it should read clearly "$99.00 for 250 sq feet of painting". I don't think it helps Boone's Painting to risk customers feeling like they have been deceived about having an entire room painted, and then find out it will be 450.00 more to have it completed. I don't see that as a positive business practice that will help them build their customer base. "

Tiny houses, often called tiny homes, need between 100 to 400 square feet, with the most common size being between 200 and 300 square feet. Tiny houses more than 400 square feet venture into apartment-size dwellings and may be considered more of a traditional house than a tiny home. The number of occupants, desired lifestyle, and furniture will all be major factors that determine the desired tiny house size.
Any type of construction that damages a tree’s roots via soil compaction can be dangerous, and is one of the primary causes of mature tree death in residential areas. Simply putting lots of weight on the ground around the tree, like construction supplies, trailers, and equipment, can kill roots near the surface. Of course, installing new foundations, patios, or utility lines can cut through nearby tree roots. Accidentally striking a tree with equipment or supplies is rarely a problem, but can cause damage of its own, too.
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.
The maximum size of a tiny home you can move depends on your state transportation guidelines, but the rule of thumb is a maximum of 400 square feet. However, as long as it falls within the local limits for traveling on public roadways, you should be good to hit the road.
In the U.S., original and converted carriage houses are most often found in New England, New York, and other parts of the Northeast. New construction carriage houses can be found across the country, and are often added to properties with Colonial-style homes for additional living, storage, or work space, although they can be found in many different styles.
