"During the massive December 2022 blizzard in Western New York, my house lost power for three consecutive days. I'd just switched to an all electric HVAC system weeks before, and none of it was connected to the small electrical panel that my gas generator could power. We were facing no heat, in a blizzard, for three days. I called Connor who, despite the weather conditions, came out to the house that evening. He opened my generator panel and rewired it so it would get heat to my kids' rooms. Without asking, he then found a great price on a Generac whole house generator and passed the information along to me. Long story short, I hired Enchanted Mountain to purchase and install the generator. They did that and more. My family now has no worries when the next blizzard hits. The care, knowledge, and attention to detail that go into Enchanted Mountain work are unmatched. I've since hired them for everything from roof repairs to insulation and weatherization jobs. They can do it all, and you won't find a nicer, more helpful and caring crew anywhere in the region. Hire them once, and, like me, you'll plan to hire them for life."
"Excellent he is very diligent and takes his time. His work and his attitude are both very professional. I appreciate that he takes short breaks and is very focused on completing his work. I would definitely hire him again!!"
"He arrived late to the appointment without calling. Once he was here, he was courteous and the consultation went fine, but I have still not received the design plans. I was informed it would take 10-14 days and it is now outside of that window. I also noticed that the price for the deal dropped $20 shortly after I purchased it, which is a bit frustrating."
"Mitch is so responsive and even followed up later to make sure I was still happy with his work? Who does that? MITCH DOES!!! I’m working with him right now for 2 more jobs. Thank you Mitch, outstanding job ?"
"Ten out of ten. Completed the job within quoted price range and within estimated time frame. Extremely trust worthy and good communication throughout the process. Great workmanship and couldn’t be happier with the final product."
"We hired C&L to tackle several paint jobs In our historic home that were too difficult for us to do ourselves since every room needed some repairs first: C&L painted our super tall hallway and stairwell, which required first repairing chipped baseboards and broken staircase newells, painted the living room and repaired molding, and painted the kitchen after repairing broken cabinets (they fully rebuilt a drawer for us from scratch). Corey treated our home with great care, adjusting to our needs, and always made sure the job got done right, while keeping to our budget. Our home has never looked better. The price was right. And customer care always exceeded expectations. Highly recommended!"
Yes, you can draw your own deck plans in many cases. However, you must know your local building codes and be familiar with carpentry principles. Even then, it's always best to run your plans by a professional contractor with experience building decks, whether you choose to DIY some of the build or not.
Depending on what the blueprints are for, a qualified draftsperson, contractor, or architect can draw them up. In some cases, including specialty permitting for a build, you may be required to use a licensed architect.
In many cases, a blueprint drawn up by a certified professional is required before a city or municipality approves a permit.
Costs depend on desk size, labor, included features like drawers or motorized height adjustments, and required wall anchoring.
Builder-grade is one of two types of stock cabinets, whereas semi-custom designs allow homeowners some control over the color, finish, or hardware on their cabinets. Stock cabinets are sold in construction-grade and builder-grade designs. Construction-grade cabinets are usually made from inexpensive medium-density fiberboard, which is prone to moisture damage, whereas builder-grade models are a step up with higher-quality materials. Construction-grade designs are the most common type of cabinets in America.
The early stages of building a house are harder than the later stages; laying the foundation and framing the house are two of the most challenging steps. However, it varies for everyone. Some people have difficulty installing HVAC, plumbing, and electricity, while others find it harder to plan the house and secure the necessary permits.
