"This project was for three bathroom remodels in a 1960 single level ranch - the bathrooms hadn't had much updating. There was extensive wallpaper in two of them which had to be removed (this is a terrible job!) followed by wall prepping. The powder room proceeded without any problems and was done quickly. The guest bath required a few changes that were unexpected, such as moving the door frame to accommodate a 32" tub instead of the 30" originally in place, and moving the vanity light box. Greg and Donnell were always happy to do whatever I wanted, and offered advise and tips along the way when unexpected things came up. The en suite bathroom was a big mess from extensive water damage that we didn't know about. When Greg took down the tiles parts of the wall completely collapsed from water damage (and everything looked great on the outside). The wood beams were rotten, the sub floor under the shower tray was rotten and almost completely unsupported, and once Greg removed the tile flooring we realized that all of the sub floor had water damage and needed to be replaced. Greg was suspicious and went into the crawl space under the house to determine if additional damage was evident, and it was. This is a 1960 ranch house that has a strange support structure with support beams further apart than is typical. The entire bathroom was essentially unsupported with the exception of two screw jacks in place (we knew about this from the home inspection but it wasn't clear the extent of previous damage). Greg built an entire new support structure under the bathroom & shower. As an add on we had Greg insulate our water pipes and replace some of the fiberglass insulation under the house.
I was so pleased with the work and the overall attitude of Greg and Donnell that I decided to have them install two new skylights. Right after purchasing the house I tried to have skylights installed but was told by the contractor that he couldn't install them because the HVAC ducts were in the way (they are flexible plastic, not metal). When I mentioned this to Greg he laughed and said of course the ducts could be moved, they're flexible and extenders can by installed if necessary (it wasn't). Now I have two beautiful skylights thanks to Greg & Donnell!
Overall I really appreciated the communications between Greg, Donnell, and me. We typically used text messaging which I find very convenient, and they could send me photos along with questions while I was at work. I am a bit of a control freak and Greg and Donnell were OK with my need to know what was going on, and immediately if problems arose. I plan on having them back in the early winter to replace an ugly stone fireplace facing and do some work on my kitchen."

"The toilet needed to be replaced. I was told that I would only get the builder standard grade toilet even though I was signed up with the highest plan. The plumber was replaced my toilet with something that was definitely builder grade and not even close to what I had. I called CHOICE and they told me that it should have been replaced with something comparable to what I had. Twice they told me they were going to have my claim looked at and I have not received a call about it or any new information. The new toilet is wrong in size and specs and doesn't fit well where it is in the bathroom."
"The garage door opener needed a part that took almost a month to arrive. Fridge and dishwasher also got few weeks before they were actually repaired."

Rather than using a common two-by-four piece of wood for a rafter, you probably will use two-by-six, two-by-eight, two-by-ten, or even two-by-twelve boards. Wider lumber is typically a better choice in a larger building as it provides more sturdiness. Some installers may use wider lumber for rafters near the edges of the roof, where the greatest stress occurs, and save money with narrower lumber toward the middle.
The pro you need to hire to build your shed depends on the shed you purchase. A local handyman or general contractor can help build a prefab shed for you. However, if you’re looking for a custom shed, contacting a shed builder near you is the best option. Make sure you get quotes from 3 pros to decide on the best pro for your job.
It can, especially with the rising popularity of treehouses that go beyond the ones designed for kids. Adults can now use them as office spaces, yoga studios, or quiet treetop retreats. That said, a treehouse can appeal to families with children or adults who might want to convert it into a space of their own. Depending on the buyer, they may be willing to pay extra for the unique feature.
The steep slope of an A-frame roof withstands high winds, heavy rain, and heavy snowfall, making them popular all over the world. A-frames also offer simple, quick construction. Finally, an A-frame typically has large windows on the non-roof sides to let in a maximum amount of natural light. Consequently, they are often an affordable building solution for the right homeowner and location.
You can use a variety of wood to build a barn door, but the most common options include 1-by boards and 2-by boards for the backing and the decorative boards on the front of the door. Softwoods like pine will save you some money and should hold up well, while hardwoods like maple and oak will stand up to more wear and tear. You could also build the backer out of plywood to minimize the cuts you need to make. Whatever you decide on, make sure the width of the wood is compatible with the mounting brackets you buy.
