"James and his team evaluated my roof, discovered the problem, and fixed it. In addition, he informed me on potential repair locations. I had been attempting to have my roof fixed but had received no response from other contractors. I'm very glad I chose NW Builders, and I recommend them to anybody in need of roof repair."
"We used it for our son’s nursery. We were not completely satisfied with the service as the deal did not include as much as we expected. The company was fine but we would not purchase this deal again."
"They did a good job. She had to submit like a photo but my daughter had them work on the central are of the loft. The deal was for one room. She got a lot of good ideal from her and it was worth it for her. They were professional and I did not hear anything negative."
"John came over and checked out the roof for the bid. He had the bid for us in a couple of days. That was quick turn around. We accepted the bid and John and his mother came by and brought a lot of samples for my wife and I to look at. We set the roofing samples out in the front yard so my wife could get a better idea of the color of the products. It was a good idea because it allowed us to see what the color would look like against the color of our house and what it looks like in natural light. We spent a lot of time comparing products colors and asking lots of questions. John and his mother were very patient with us and our questions. My wife and his mother consulted a lot on the various color combinations and textures of the products. john and his mother were very professional and personable. They understood that it was a big investment for us and allowed us to take our time. What we appreciated was they did not try to up sale or push a particular line of products. We did choose one product that was more money than the one we originally thought we liked. After we made the selection, they gave us a timeline and an overview of the work. The timeline had to be moved due to rain for a week or so and John kept us informed. Being informed is important to us. John and his crew arrived on time and got right to work. They were fast and efficient. It only took a day for the new roof to be installed and it looked great. They cleaned up and hauled off all the old materials and picked up the debris out of the front and back yards. We found a few stray staples but nothing to be concerned about. Mid Valley is one of a few certified Owens-Corning contractors in the Salem area. By being certified Mid Valley could extend the manufacturers standard warranty of 20 years to 50 and it doesn't cost the home owner anymore. Got to love a bonus. Owens-Corning will only extend the warranty if their products are installed by a certified approved contractor. Mid Valley is. The warranty is backed by Owens-Corning not by individual contractors who may not be in business before the warranty expires. We checked to make sure the warranty is legit and it is. We took several bids and reviewed them. Mid Valley was a little higher than the lowest. I called John and asked if he would match the bid. I told him what the bid was and he said he would match it. I was all set for some haggling or some grumbling but NONE of that happened it was really nice. We had some concerns about getting the warranty information and I called John. He always answers his phone and I explained my concern. He told me that he would look into it and get back to me. John said Owens was a bit behind and we would get our info. A few weeks went by and no info, so I called John. He contacted Owens and got back to me. A couple of weeks went by and no info. I again contacted John about it. He followed up with emails to Owens-Corning and he forwarded the responses from their representative. Which revealed the warranty info was registered by John but Owens-Corning dropped the ball in getting it out to us and they said for John to give us their direct contact info. Which he did. It will be another few weeks before we get the info. This is important, John never groaned or sounded unhappy nor did he try to avoid me when I spoke with him about this issue. This is great customer service. I can not say enough about the great service. John even answers his email on weekends. That is very rare these days for a business to do that. We did have a question about what appeared as lumpy shingles on some parts of the roof. We called and John explained that the lumpy shingles will flatten out when the temperature gets warmer. And they did. My wife is happy about that. We enjoyed our experience with Mid Valley building LLC and we have recommended them to several friends. Great workmanship great price and outstanding costumer service. Oh yeah and NO LEAKS. They do other work besides roofs. We would use them again."
"Showed up on time and did the job well. Asked questions about specifics and pointed out a few trouble spots. Good expereince and result. Purchased the survice on a "Big Deal" so the price was right. "

"They did a real good job. They were real professional. We can now open the garage door from the inside of the house and now it is so smooth that we have to check to see if we hit the button to open it or close it. Before we used to know when it was opening or closing because it used to make a noise. It helps when you move to a city where you are new. "
"Edgar and his crew did a fantastic job of remodeling our 69 year old bathroom! Communication was great and the job was completed in the time frame he stated.

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts
Duration varies by project size, but average-sized homes typically take a weeks.
Costs depend on furniture type, size, complexity, and whether additional modifications are needed.
Not all porch columns are load-bearing, though they can be. Some porch columns are simply decorative. There are ways to identify a load-bearing column, like looking for visible seams and a foundation. Also, check to see if the column directly enters the ground. In some porch installations, a contractor will excavate a hole to install a column into the earth along with a buried cement base for stability.
You may need a permit to install your window seat. Even though it's an indoor modification, some municipalities require permits for any built-ins added to homes. Check with your carpenter or, if you're DIY-ing, do some research on your city's requirements.
Yes, you can find ceiling joists using simple tools if a stud finder isn't available.
Using a hammer requires patience and a keen ear. Gently tap the ceiling in a grid pattern, listening for sound changes. A hollow sound indicates space between joists, while a solid, dull thud suggests a joist. Mark the location with a pencil and confirm by tapping from different angles.
Alternatively, you can use a nail, but this method will leave small holes. You'll feel increased resistance when the nail hits a joist. Mark the spot and repeat the process every 16 or 24 inches to map the joist locations. This method is considered less reliable than using a stud finder.
