"This is a followup to the former review. After the work was completed, several days later there was a hard rain. Rain water was pouring into both newly installed windows. Workers came a few days later and added caulking to the windows, More rain through the windows and workers again caulked, After the third rain, a tarp was put up on the back of the house but it was not tight enough to withstand the high winds and tore, The next day, a larger tarp was installed and was drilled into the wood of the house. In the meantime, since it did not seem that the cause of the problem was known. the window company was contacted by us and they sent a troubleshooter to see what the problem might be. Doug Furko, the contractor, was present at this meeting on 1/15/19 and agreed to get to the bottom of this. He has had some personal and professional issues to deal with and also the frigid weather is not in our favor. But here it is 1/23/19 and there is a blue tarp blocking the light from the entire rear of our house. It is like dusk inside, not to mention unsightly. Doug Furko is very personable, polite, and will return calls but this situation is difficult because we have a paid a price and things are not right. There is inconvenience and we do not know when and what is going to happen."

"We hired Anthony to perform a *laundry room addition* to our house. We live in an older home and wanted to take out a 2nd floor extra storage space that we were not using and convert it into a laundry room. The price was fair but the service and work were well above average. They go above and beyond and get the job done quickly without cutting corners and fixing previous DIY improvement disasters. I could not recommend Anthony and the company more. Look no further, because this is your guy."

"The porch demolition and rebuild took two and one-half days. I am very pleased with the results and all the comments I have received from friends and neighbors have been positive( including one from a neighbor who is a professional contractor). Tony's crew worked from shortly after sun up to sundown in 90 degree weather. A different neighbor who observed the men working praised the effort the crew put forth. I plan on using McCann's next summer for more work. P.S. Sorry for the delay in the review."

"A++++++. Bladamire and his team were PHENOMENAL AND SO HELPFUL! As a small business owner and designer, I know quality work and reliable contractors when I see them. He showed up when he said he would, even on a weekend, met my deadlines and his pricing was very reasonable. He went above and beyond my expectations and not only will I hire him again and again, but I recommend him to anyone I can. He can do EVERYTHING."

"The owners (Chris and Cal) did an excellent job on our remodeled project. They were personally involved with the project and worked directly with us during the entire planning and implementation of the work. They were true craftsmen. We wanted a contractor who could do the entire project and C&C fit the bill. They performed the drywall, flooring, windows, painting, electrical, and structural part of the job. We would highly recommend them ."

"I have worked with many contractors before and Luiz was exceptional! He called me on a Sunday to talk about my project and arrived as promised the next day to give me a quote. He and his helper completed my job promptly and I will use them again in the future for other tile projects we have. I highly recommend him. The craftmanship is wonderful and he is very courteous. This was the most pleasant experience I have ever had with a contractor."

"The complete service was actually one of the best experiences that I’ve had with a contracting company. They were professional, timely, and the main guy that I was working with communicated with me very well. Everything that was done to my home was explained to me and I greatly appreciated that. Would definitely work with them again, and would recommend them for all contracts no needs."

Unfinished Carpentry questions, 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.

An A-frame home can be cheaper to build than a traditional house, but that is not always a given. Prices can be fairly similar in some cases, depending on the location, design, and necessary site preparation. Costs for an A-frame typically run between $100 to $200 per square foot, which is comparable to the cost of a traditional home. The cost of an A-frame can come in under those numbers if you opt for a prefabricated kit.

To calculate the number of linear feet of baseboard you’ll need, measure the length of each wall of the room you’re installing them in as close to the floor as possible, rounding up to the next full linear foot. If it’s your first DIY molding job, having a few extra feet on hand for miscuts is a good idea.

Begin by analyzing the blueprints and gathering the proper materials before framing a house. With the prep stages behind you, begin by framing the floor of a house on the newly set foundation. Exterior and interior walls come next, along with rough openings for doors and windows. Contractors will then add ceiling and roof rafters to finish things off. 

You can choose 5/8-inch plywood or 3/4-inch plywood—anything thinner than these sizes may not withstand the impact of debris propelled by strong winds or can be easily torn off by intruders. Remember that the durability of the wood board is crucial, particularly for safeguarding your windows during severe storms. The effectiveness of using wood boards for protecting the investment you made in your home relies on using the appropriate material and ensuring proper installation.
