"Colonial Restorations was superb. Our family very much enjoyed working with Brad Green and Tom Green.
At the outset, they made thorough assessments of our family's barn, identifying several problem areas and offering multiple proposals for how best to address each (including strategies and estimates). They walked through the different proposals with us, addressing all questions and discussing different options. This was extremely constructive and important to the process.
They demonstrated very clear understanding of post-and-beam wood construction. They displayed great expertise in working with wood (white oak, red oak, hemlock) and with the tools, jacks and cribbing needed for this work. They worked carefully, always putting in place the necessary jacks and cribbing in advance of each phase of this project.
They were clear about their schedule and were very responsible about communicating with us. If there were a day that they would not be on site, they let us know ahead of time. With the exception of a snow storm and an illness, they were on site five days a week from the first week in January till the second week in February, 2016.
By the completion of this project, Colonial Restorations had made significant and important structural repairs to our barn. This work was done with care, craft, accuracy, and to code. (All elements of this project were examined and passed by the building inspector.) Most important, these repairs respected and worked with the existing structure and materials of the barn.
We could not be happier with these repairs or with the work done by Colonial Restorations. It was a pleasure working with Brad and Tom."
"Excellent work. We purchased natural cherry cabinets in shaker style, with the panels made of solid wood rather than veneer. That is more difficult work, as each panel has to be constructed from several planks. Moreover, the clear finish would leave any flaws more visible. Simply put, the doors are beautiful--flawless in both construction and finish. They are similar in quality to custom cherry furniture we own."
Homeowners insurance may cover damaged floor joists, depending on your policy. Insurance typically covers issues from storms, fires, or water damage from burst pipes. However, don't expect your insurance company to cover damage from wear and tear, poor maintenance, or termites.
If you don’t have a power saw with a blade where you can adjust the angle, you could use a miter box and hand saw to make the cuts. The miter box contains wide slots to support the piece of baseboard and other narrow slots to accommodate the blade of the hand saw. However, it’s tough to make non-standard cuts beyond 30 or 45 degrees when using a miter box.
No, you do not usually tip a carpenter for their work. However, if you’ve been very happy with the level of service and quality of work, a 10% to 20% tip would likely be accepted with thanks. If you’re not sure, it can help to discuss the carpenter’s policy or preference for tipping before beginning the project.
Most contractors do not charge for meetings, but it can depend on the project, mainly if it includes detailed consultations or project planning. For general estimates, homeowners shouldn't expect to be charged. Always ask up front about meeting fees to avoid surprises and ensure you know what’s included in the process.
Many modern homes have soffits, but older ones don’t, and you may be wondering why. Older homes have eaves that extend further beyond the home and help to circulate air, negating the need for a soffit. This style of building has faded away, therefore, modern homes need separate soffit installation. Modern soffits are more efficient than this older style and require less material to construct, saving homeowners money.
