"Monroe & More were amazing - excellent communication and they arrived with five builders who completed our deck in one day! They left the property as they found it. Enjoyed working with them to get the quote and set up the job."
"Excellent experience. I had shingles blow off my roof. I called several contractors. Brad was the first to respond, the price seemed right and he showed up the next morning to put on shingles in snow flurries."
"We were very pleased with Dylan and his crew . They were pretty fast at putting up our steel roof . He also did some extra work at no cost !! Great workers . Highly recommend !"
"If you are looking for honest, reliable, and knowledgeable craftsman then these are the guys for you. They just finished some structural repairs to my front porch and I'm extremely happy with their work and service. I would not hesitate to hire them again and would recommend them without hesitation."
"Exterior storm doors - on time, everything done as promised. Great care and attention was given to the project. It has been years, and we have not needed any adjustments: not even on the springs or hinges!"
"Preston of G-1 Plumbing performed the services and addressed the toilet & drain problem. He was unable to stop leak(made it worse) & submitted his recs to Choice Home for review. I was unable to understand Choice Home's response regarding the faucet leak. Their review stated faucet needed to be replaced BUT it was under "builder's warranty." I built this home in 2005. There is no "builder's warranty" now. I cancelled the proposed work order & paid out-of-pocket. A Friend, who was familiar with my builder and knows faucet components, came to my home, adjusted/cleaned the faucet cartridge and stopped the leak. The CHW tech, Preston, is conscientiuos, however, IMHO lacked the knowledge & experience to stop my leak. Home Warranty Companies, at least in my area, hire owner/operators who need the work to build their business and are NOT the most experienced/knowledgeable & are willing to work for less money. In my experience, Home Warranty Companies want the CHEAPEST resolution, not the BEST. I would recommend G-1 Plumbing for most plumbing issues."
"Very well. Friendly & pleasant to have in the house. When Dave found out he needed to secure fan mount by crawling thru our attic crawl space he didn’t hesitant."
"I was very pleased with the work. The job required new studs for the drywall as the cottage was built before 1930. The contractor answered any questions, gave estimates to the work and delivered in a timely fashion. I would recommend and use them again."
"Very professional, considerate and did a great job. Met over and beyond expectations. Will call them for future work and will definitely recommend them to friends and relatives."
The quickest way you can protect plants and trees from frost is to cover them with garden blankets or frost cloths. Also, bringing potted plants or trees indoors is much simpler than trying to cover and protect them outdoors. Remember to anchor blankets with something such as sandbags, fabric pins, or rocks if the forecast calls for strong winds to keep them from blowing away and exposing your trees and plants.
The only real drawback to green building is that it’s more expensive up front, with per-square-foot prices sitting 33% higher than what you’d pay to build a traditional home. The higher cost is due to more expensive building materials and more labor to ensure every aspect of the home is as efficient as possible. However, green buildings often save money in the long run, so this is just a temporary downside.
When designing an attached greenhouse, several factors should be considered. These include the orientation and positioning of the greenhouse to maximize sunlight exposure, the structural integrity of the connection to the house, sufficient insulation to regulate temperature, proper ventilation for airflow, and adequate space for plants and pathways. If you’re restricted because of your budget, go with a simpler design to maximize the use of your money.
In most cases, you can attach a greenhouse to any type of house. However, certain factors need to be considered, such as the structural integrity of the house, available space, and local building regulations. You should consult with a professional contractor or architect to assess the feasibility and ensure proper construction methods.
