"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!"
"Hector and Moises were excellent! Hector came with one other of their crew and assembled my permanent gazebo. I have stone pavers and they were very careful in cutting them and digging Deep enough to establish a good anchor. They even installed railings for my back stoop. I would highly recommend them! Clean... affordable and professional."

It was devine intervention that days after the storm the president of Homes and Beyond was given the wrong address to provide an estimate for a basement remediatioon job in my Rockaway neighborhood. When he knocked on my door, we struck up a conversation. I showed him my basement. He was reluctant to take a downpayment from me because I had never met him before, had no references for him, and he didn't want to spook me. Nevertheless, I had a good feeling. I gave him a deposit which he said he would not cash until I had checked out a few references. I went to the homes where he was in the process of doing work, made a few calls, and liked what I heard. He did an excellent job on the basement gutting and remediation. I then hired him to do the outdoor repairs from falling trees and to do the one floor (including new base molding, sheetrock, insulation and painting) inside my house that had water damage. He is currently in the process of renovating my basement, which includes walls (framing, sheetrocking and some cement skim-coating) floor, ceiling, insulation, etc. All of his workers must be given some kind of orientation because they are all super considerate, very neat, etc. I have no complaints and would certainly recommend Homes and Beyond.
"Every year Tanem Construction completes a project on our 100-year-old center colonial home. Weâ ve come up with creative solutions to make the current footprint of our home more useful. Adding walls, removing walls, removing radiators, adding and updating bathrooms, adding storage, a laundry room, and a wet bar with entertainment area when including our basement as part of our living space. On the outside, they did our stoop and fixed flashing on our roof in areas that caused leaks. As a woman with young children, I feel comfortable with them working in my home. Paul, Gene, and the team are pleasant and create a safe working environment!"
"Great Handyman to have for your home. He does not want you to spend more money then you have to so his prices are very reasonable. He did a really good job in fixing my bathroom wall and he even cleaned up the mess. Mr. Rubio was all about business, but I also made some new friends and will continue to use his expertise for future home improvement projects. Very pleased with the work and I highly recommend them for any home."
"The roof of my metal shed collapsed during the last big snowstorm. I called several companies for estimates and Ben came same day right away. We spoke about options, he explained what needed to be done, and how he would proceed, He was detail oriented and knowledgeable. I felt comfortable with his approach. I highly recommend Dynamic Exteriors! The final product is a very strong, well built product that will withstand any storm for years to come!! Thanks Ben and Cesar!!"
"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!!!"
"Daler and his helper did an AMAZING JOB! he understood my needs worked with me and installed my TV And TV Mount looks great and we are very happy. I will recommend him for anyone who wants quality work done, and I will definitely use him again."
Barndominium Builders questions, answered by experts
Whether building a playground or installing a pre-made one is more affordable depends on the materials of each. In most cases, it’s more affordable to build a wooden playground than it is to buy one and have it professionally installed, but it might be less expensive to invest in a pre-made plastic playground, even if you pay a professional to install it. Wooden playgrounds tend to last longer, but as children age, they will become less valuable. Overall, it may be most affordable to have a pro install a pre-made plastic playground.
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.
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.
Ranch and colonial-style homes are often the most affordable to build. They have a common layout with available designs that are easy to adjust in simple ways without having to spend too much on a structural engineer or architect. Both types of homes' symmetry, simple roofs, and often one or two-story plans mean they often fall in the $150 to $200 square-foot range, putting them right around average.
It can, especially with the rising popularity of treehouses that go beyond the ones designed for kids. Adults can now use them as office spaces, yoga studios, or quiet treetop retreats. That said, a treehouse can appeal to families with children or adults who might want to convert it into a space of their own. Depending on the buyer, they may be willing to pay extra for the unique feature.
