"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."

"Jeff did a fantastic job tearing down our large rickety wood deck and building a nice sturdy trex deck in its place. Its so nice to walk out onto the deck and not worry about falling thru it anymore! I will be sure to contact him next time I need some work done."

Trex is not stronger than wood, but it lasts longer than wood and is heavier. Trex holds up well to the elements and is resistant to termites thanks to its resilient composition of plastic, reclaimed wood, and sawdust. Trex decking is rot and warp-resistant, making it especially useful in areas that experience a lot of snow and rain.
Whether building a playground or installing a pre-made one is more affordable depends on the materials of each. In most cases, it’s more affordable to build a wooden playground than it is to buy one and have it professionally installed, but it might be less expensive to invest in a pre-made plastic playground, even if you pay a professional to install it. Wooden playgrounds tend to last longer, but as children age, they will become less valuable. Overall, it may be most affordable to have a pro install a pre-made plastic playground.
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.
Whether it is better to buy or build a chicken coop depends on your priorities, primarily cost versus time and effort. Building your own chicken coop can be significantly more budget-friendly, often costing about half as much as buying a pre-made one. If you have the time and skills, building a coop from scratch is the most economical option. However, if your time or skills are limited, buying a kit and hiring a handyperson to assemble it can be more cost-effective than hiring a carpenter to build a custom coop from scratch. If you want a perfectly constructed coop without sacrificing your own time and energy, buying one is the easiest choice.
It may be tempting to DIY the construction of a swing set to save money, but we don’t recommend it. Since children will use the swing set, the entire system must be solid and safe, meaning the cost savings aren’t worth potentially endangering them. Plus, most DIYers will have to build their swing sets out of wood, which won’t last as long as metal or vinyl and introduces the risk of splinters. Instead, hire a local playground equipment installer to ensure the swing set is built safely and efficiently, setting up your kids for fun for years to come.
