"I was extremely happy with this company. I liked the fact that he would come to install one door. (Good to his advertisement, he goes to Suffolk county) It turned out to be more than the one door.. He returned my call, the same day. I found Greg, a pleasure to deal with. I chose his company to call, over 3 other names I felt fortunate, it worked out so well, and I made an excellent choice. Now have the name of someone who handles all types of home repairs, that does excellent work. I was extremely impressed, that upon walking up to my door, he removed the snow, off the steps. Top notch company!"
"Mack Rubio does fantastic woodwork. He and Juri responded within minutes of my request for new porch stairs and railings, as well as replacement of rotted fascia and siding. His work is solid, fast, and precise. Excellent skill and craftsmanship. His estimates are affordable and his team are always punctual and professional. This is my first home purchase and it is a fixer-upper, so I will definitely be calling Mack again for assistance with all of our home improvement projects. I highly recommend HandyMack for all home repairs and renovations!"
"This is a great company. I called for an estimate for my project and of the four estimates, Romeo gave me the best price by far. On top of that, where other companies have a long waiting period, this project was started and finished within the same week! The guys were hardworking, and did an amazing job. We were very happy with the work they did and we will DEFINITELY use them again in the future."
"Excellent! Excellent! Excellent! I had a small job which my husband started and couldn't finish because of his job demands. I searched Angie's List and after filling out my information, within 20 minutes received a call from Steve at Mr. Handman. I told him my job was very small and honestly I didn't think I'd find anyone for a last minute small job. He had someone over my house that afternoon. Pete did the work in 1-1/2 hours and did a fantastic job! My husband came home surprised and extremely happy I had it done. Thank you Steve and Pete. I will definitely be using you again for other projects my husband CAN'T FINISH!!!"
"I tried the Home Advisor reluctantly since I don't ever feel you get what you hope for... But in this case I went with Dynamic Exteriors and was really surprised at their response... I sent pictures to all that responded to me. Some had minimums to do the work but Dynamic Exteriors called me and told me they could come the same day 7pm. I was about to change it but I decided to just get it done. It was the best decision I could have made. Most reasonable price, excellent work and good attitude and friendly to talk to. I'm one that likes to watch and learn, he knew exactly what to do no time wasted, done quickly and cleaned up. I'm happy; I to highly recommend them."
"All their work was excellent. Not only did they replace our roof and repair water damage in our dining room, we had them do other jobs too. Replacement basement windows, outdoor lighting, and fencing. I would definitely hire them again."
"Ronald and his Team did an excellent job for a very good price. Very professional. Pointed out some things that needed attention and then took care of it. The workmanship and customer service is better than any other craftman I have ever hired. I will keep Exterior Team Home Service number available to recommend to anyone that asks if "I know someone who...." I trust Exterior Team Home and will use them in the future."
"My house is 90 years old & he has performed several fix-it projects such as new door saddles, caulking in bathrooms, faucet repair, outside door repair, hanging heavy mirror. He delivers quality workmanship & leaves the area meticulous. I am very pleased with work & would again when a need arises."
Barndominium Builders questions, answered by experts
Trex is not stronger than wood, but it lasts longer than wood and is heavier. Trex holds up well to the elements and is resistant to termites thanks to its resilient composition of plastic, reclaimed wood, and sawdust. Trex decking is rot and warp-resistant, making it especially useful in areas that experience a lot of snow and rain.
Building a tiny house is the least complicated way to build, especially if you’re tackling the project as a DIY. The smaller size means less complex plans, more straightforward utility installation, and fewer ways to make costly errors. Tiny homes still need to conform to building codes and often have other applicable regulations, so be sure to get the proper permits and confirm your build is by the book.
The difference between a pole barn and a stick-built barn is in the construction. Large poles in the ground provide support for pole barns. For stick-built barns, 2-by-4 or 2-by-6 lumber (known as sticks) create a frame around load-bearing beams. Stick-built construction is far more popular for residential homes. Pole barns are more cost-effective because they require fewer materials and less labor.
The timeline to build your barn will depend on the barn type and the company you hire. A pole barn may take six weeks or so, while a traditionally framed or steel-framed barn can take four months or longer. Building a barndominium takes the longest because you are essentially building a new home. You can expect barndominiums to take six months or longer to build.
It may be tempting to DIY the construction of a swing set to save money, but we don’t recommend it. Since children will use the swing set, the entire system must be solid and safe, meaning the cost savings aren’t worth potentially endangering them. Plus, most DIYers will have to build their swing sets out of wood, which won’t last as long as metal or vinyl and introduces the risk of splinters. Instead, hire a local playground equipment installer to ensure the swing set is built safely and efficiently, setting up your kids for fun for years to come.
