"Tim did an excellent job of replacing main beams in living room and bedroom. Tim and his team did an excellent job of moving all my belongings so they could do the work. The work they did I could never have done as neatly myself. Along the way Tim kept me informed as to what was happening in words I could
understand. He also connected me with painters etc who could help finish the job. It is almost impossible to see the areas Tim worked on, the finishing work was so meticulous. I would highly recommend Tim And Diggs Building Technologies for any structural work . He deserves 5 stars. "

"Giovanni and his team removed the paint from my three house chimneys I had asked him to paint over the white and he thought I would be happier to have the chimney's restored to the origingal brick boy was he correct. While up on the roof he cleared it of moss and dirt, cleaned and repainted my 6 dormers. . His price was lower than other quotes I got. I got a fixed price for the project yet when he did somethings he thought needed to be done - like power wash my garage doors and side he didn't ask for more money. Giovanni doesn't speak English however his assistant Arlette was in constant contact with me translating and orchestrating conversations between us. She texted me when the guys would come and leave. For my barn roof painting project Giovanni pointed out that I had to shore it up. He was correct. I feared the worst. But he reinforced beams and made the entire barn secure by installing steel beams I had between three of the support beams. The price to do this was VERY reasonable. Most contractors overdo projects then charge for it. The photo is of the back of my barn which had a rotting overhang. He saved the gutter (most would had wanted to replace it) ripped down the useless overhang, installed metal sheeting along the face and reinstalled the gutter."

Woodworking questions, answered by experts
Hickory, red oak, white oak, and Brazilian walnut are among the most durable wood flooring options. Teakwood is extremely durable and known as one of the hardest woods. It holds up against weather and sunlight, but it’s costly and can be difficult to source. Keep durability in mind when installing floors for high-traffic areas in your home.
Cedar and cypress are great wood choices for a window planter box because they’re readily available and won’t break the bank. However, there are plenty of wood types appropriate for a window flower box. Try using redwood for its natural resistance to rot, though it is on the expensive side.
If you remove a load-bearing wall to create an entrance to a carport or covered patio, you can expect to pay between $3,200 and $9,500, with an average cost of $6,400. Factors such as the type of addition and if that area needs additional work will add to the price.
There's no simple answer to which is less costly: wood or metal-framed homes. In most cases, metal building components cost more than wooden ones, while entire metal buildings cost less than wooden versions. However, regardless of the exterior framing or structure, each must meet similar building codes. This means that the costs are about the same, even considering that wood will require more maintenance than metal over time.
In most cases, you can build a carport between 5 and 10 feet from your side property lines and within 10 to 20 feet from your front and rear property lines, at a maximum. However, the specific regulations depend on where you live. You can call your local building department to find out how close to your property lines you’re legally allowed to build.
