"Fast response time. Quality of finished work. Cost conscious. Very friendly. Listens and responds to what we want. Offers cost effective alternatives, especially when we arenâ t exactly sure how to deal with a problem. Treats us like we are their favorite customer, which we love, even though we know it canâ t possibly be true. Iâ ve dealt with other contractors who, as soon as they get the job, they are off trying to get the next job, while our project stalls. But Robertâ s team gets on it and gets it done. I couldnâ t be happier"

"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."

Unfinished Carpentry FAQs, answered by experts

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.

When choosing a drywall anchor, consider the weight of the object you're hanging and how much weight the anchor will need to support. The heavier the weight, the stronger the anchor you'll need. You’ll find the weight capacity on the packaging when shopping for anchors. 

Also, remember that you can use more than one anchor when hanging something on the wall. If you're using multiple anchors, divide the object weight by the number of anchors to determine how much each will need to support. If you need help deciding which drywall anchor to use, you can hire a handyperson to hang your objects. 

Most of the time, you’ll want to use screws on your subfloor rather than nails. Nails can actually weaken plywood, whereas screws can easily penetrate without damage. They also form a more secure connection because of their shape, preventing squeaky floors and tightly holding the subfloor in place. That said, some contractors do prefer nails depending on the type of floor covering because they allow for more flexibility.

Converting a carport into a garage can vary in difficulty depending on its configuration, the condition of the foundation or slab, and its location relative to the house. The process has a lot in common with a home addition, but you can often skip non-essential finishes like fine flooring, trim work, or even drywall and HVAC. The conversion requires experience with drywall, insulation, and other building materials to ensure it’s done safely and correctly. While it might be possible for a DIYer with the proper tools and skills to do the work, it is a complicated and potentially dangerous job. If you’re new to basic construction, it's best to leave this project to the professionals.

Proper Murphy bed installation minimizes the risk of wall damage. A secure attachment requires making some holes for anchors or brackets, but these can be easily patched if the bed is removed. To ensure the installation is done correctly and safely, hiring a professional is recommended, especially if you have limited DIY experience.
