"I regret giving over $80k to this contractor. Jim, Chase and all others did shotty work in my home and now their work needs to be redone by a professional. Even after things stopped working I called them back and no one came out or contacted me to fix it. My window frames and baseboards were installed improperly as well as my electrical. My flooring is lifting and new stairs installed weren’t even nailed in properly, my husband nearly broke his hip on the stairs. I wish I could take it all back and never would’ve trust them."

"Brian's guys were great. I needed the length of the garage drywalled after a flood in the garage forced me to remove all the wet drywall. He put in mold/water resistant green drywall in less than a day. He was working several large jobs and I expected that he would make me wait, but he didn't. He fit me in almost right away, did the work on a Saturday so I wouldn't have to miss work, and did a great job. He made me feel like my project was just as important as any huge job. I would hire him again for any other renovation at the house. Thanks Brian and Steve."

I purchased the window year ago clearly with the ten year warranty. I have installed windows for 35+ years would not recommend this company."

"Did not show up as scheduled. Offered to match paint and brought the wrong paint to the job. Did not respond when notified - then said they were not responsible if the paint they selected matched - that was my responsibility!. Had to pay more to get the part that "showed" repainted in the right color. Crew changed day by day. Specified 2 coats sprayed, but did some brushing and applied only one coat in places. There main motivation seem to be do what was most expeditious/profitable for them. Left strong impression my job was a "fill in" and more of an aggravation than a solicited service. Job superintendent was barely aware of field crew progress. On-site supervisor spoke broken English. Finally got the right front door, and finished painting the garage doors and front door with two coats on a cool day without proper time to dry between. Paint on front door ended up not curing well."

Carpet Installation questions, answered by experts

Removing baseboards is not always necessary when removing carpet, but it can make the process smoother and yield better results. It allows for neater removal of the old carpet and better installation of the new one with a more professional-looking finish. However, if you're looking for a quicker and less invasive option, you can try carefully cutting the carpet near the baseboards and removing it. This approach might work if the baseboards are in good condition and you're not concerned about the quality of the installation.

Flooring installation usually takes about one to three days, so it’s a project you can do over a long weekend if you plan to DIY. Keep in mind that for some types of flooring, like hardwood or laminate, you’ll need to let the floor panels sit out of the packaging to acclimate them to their future home. This step will add at least a day to the project time, but it will help minimize the risk of warping due to changes in temperature and humidity.

The cost to install carpet is $1,780 on average for 330 square feet, the size of an average living room. This cost could range from $200 to $5,000, depending on the amount of carpet, material, and type of carpet. 

If you need 500 square feet of carpet, it’ll cost $1,500 to $5,500, while 1,000 square feet of carpet costs $3,000 to $11,000. Polyester is one of the more affordable options, ranging from $1 to $3 per square foot. Wool is a more luxurious option, ranging from $4 to $20 per square foot

It is normal to glue carpet down, though it’s not the only or the most popular method of installing carpet. Modern techniques include tack strips and stretching the carpet, but you might still find glued carpet in older homes or a home with a DIY’d past. Removing a glued-down carpet will be harder compared to other methods of installation.

It’s less expensive to install carpeting versus laminate floors, with an average cost of $1,760. However, up-front material and labor costs aren’t the only considerations here. Laminate flooring boasts twice the lifespan of carpeting and is considered to be the wiser investment from an ROI standpoint. After all, you can lay down a rug or carpeting over the flooring, but the reverse isn’t true.
