"My first impression of Mark was that he was just a downright nice guy. I had two contractors out before him and already had some estimates. What I appreciated about Mark was that he was a nice guy, but still able to be straight-forward about numbers and talk realistically about what needed done. This meant he could say what needed said, but he was still great talk work with. In fact, he gave me a higher number than my previous contractors -- but I truly believed him when he mentioned several things the other contractors missed in their estimates, and I would ultimately pay for anyway. Mark was just giving me the real cost upfront -- instead of nickel and diming me. In fact, he made it a point to try and avoid coming back with incremental increases -- even though I know he ran in to things that were unexpected. He kept to his estimate. As the project went along, some things did change but each step of the way he always made the right decision. For example, when he removed the drop ceiling in the kitchen to repair what we thought was as small area of falling ceiling -- he discovered it was much worse than he thought and he couldn't possibly do that much work considering that it was easily 3x more than it looked like it would be when we first took a peek at it. So instead, Mark made up for it in other ways. For example, one of the doors upstairs to the bathroom was an odd size. He could have taken a shortcut and put a door on it that worked -- but it would have opened in to the hallway...which would have been awkward. Instead, he built a custom edge to the door frame and made the door open in to the bathroom. This made the door look great and avoided an awkward-looking doorway. Mark often did things that made it obvious he intended to work on things to get a result he would be happy with, basically making sure that whatever he finished was something he would be happy with as if it were his own house. Many of the final touches were things I didn't even ask for -- he just 'did it' because he knew it was a minor thing but made a major impression. For instance, he painted all of the air vents and even washed the siding on the front porch. The entire project was finished in an impressive amount of time -- it was only a few days longer than he estimated, and it surprised me that he was able to do so. He was able to lead the entire job, doing most of the work himself and only bringing in folks when it made sense -- but overseeing the work quality. I can't overstate how happy and fortunate I was to find Mark. He's a stand-up guy, and straight-forward when it comes to talking through business in a way that makes it easy for you both to decide what will and won't work in terms of numbers, timing and scope of the effort. I found Mark through Angie's list and didn't know him before this. The fact that I found a negative review among so many positive reviews is something I actually appreciated. Because it gave me a chance to read his response to the negative review -- and I told him so. It's easy to be nice when things are going well, but if you read his response he was still able to keep his helpful and respectful demeanor. I thought that was a real sign of true character and based on my experience -- I was right. I highly recommend Mark for your consideration if you want someone who will be respectful, forthcoming and does incredible work. His extensive experience is obvious in his work and he's the first guy I am calling for my next investment property."

"Everything about this project went the way we wanted it to. We cannot imagine how it could have gone any better. We needed the work to be done in the shortest time window possible since a disabled parent had to be temporarily located to another part of house during the work. Dan and his son were able to schedule us in and he completed the work extremely quickly. The quality of the work on all aspects is outstanding! Most remodeling projects sometimes present some challenges and surprises. Dan is very flexible and creative in helping come up with the best solution that keeps the project near the cost and time targets. Dan has a positive and friendly approach to his work. He is very honest and realistic in his estimates of time and cost, and it is very clear he strives to hit on both. He is a pleasure to have in your house if you will be staying there during the remodeling work. If you are looking for a highly skilled, trustworthy, and professional contractor to do remodeling work in the Berks County area - you should give Dan a call. I give him the STRONGEST RECOMMENDATION possible."

"We used Angie’s list to find a contractor to work on our main floor and second floor bathroom (and some other minor work). After several contractors visited our home and told us that they could not convert our main floor bathroom to a full (or quoted an excessive price for the work), we ultimately called CM Contracting after reviewing their ratings on Angie’s list and other sites. In our initial phone consultation, both the head contractor (Chris) and his son (Tyler, also a licensed contractor) were professional, prompt and timely with scheduling a visit. Within 48 hours, Chris and Tyler arrived to the home, accessed both bathrooms and discussed the scope of work required. Unlike other contractors who came up with a number on the spot, CM Contracting said they would research our building plans and get back to us with a number. After a week, we were contacted with a quote and request for a followup meeting. After meeting face to face to discuss the price, we agreed upon the work and a start date, and they acquired all permits needed for the scope of work. At the beginning of work, Tyler took incredible steps to ensure dust and debris would be clear from the main floor by taping paper down on the wood floors and vacuuming/sweeping at the end of the work day. Chris was in constant communication throughout the construction, regularly contacting us to give updates and discuss any minor change in the scope of work. He also did a great job managing his subcontractors, which resulted in a timely completion of the work. His electrician Ken did incredible work with wiring the bathroom and fans in the bedrooms. His plumber Don also did an incredible job removing a non-functioning water softener, plumbed two bathrooms, and installed additional control valves. Most importantly, everyone involved warrantied their work, which is a huge financial relief when choosing a contractor for your home. Overall, we were happy with the daily interactions we had with CM Contracting and their subcontractors and we are very happy with our experience."

"I have to say from the first time I met Alex I knew he was going to get my business. He was the only professional and friendly contractor that respected my home enough to take off his shoes upon entering. We sat down and went over the bathroom renovation project in detail and he stated he would get me an estimate in a couple days. The estimate came and I was very pleased. It had everything we discussed, but I reached out to Alex with questions. He promptly got back and answered all of them, which put my mind at ease. One of the major questions was am able to buy my own items/materials. He agreed and adjusted the estimate pricing accordingly. I signed the contract and begin buying my dream bathroom items.
    When it came closer to my project date, Alex brought the team over to my house to meet me and view the bathroom. We agreed on a time and the morning of the project they were there bright and early. The demo started and I began my journey to my dream bathroom. Everyday during the project, Alex communicated with me whether it was on site, phone call, and/or email. He made sure to tell all of his team members to remove their shoes when entering my house. At the end of the day the team would clean up and put their tools away. Due to unforeseen circumstances the project took longer than estimated time but it was definitely worth it. The team was very devoted and worked 14 hour days including weekends and a holiday to try to get back on schedule. This company definitely lived up to it's name "24/7 Remodeling". Alex and the team let me know of any issues encountered, so I always knew what was going on and could make the appropriate decisions. He handled every minor detail down to the finish of the vanity sink drain. Alex went above and beyond with clean up once the project was complete.
    I have heard many horror contractor stories but I can honestly say this was a pleasant experience. The work looks great and comes with a one year warranty. I would highly recommend 24/7 Remodeling for any renovation project for the home. I have really enjoyed working with Alex and the team and hope to have them work on my half bathroom in the very near future.

Thank You

"I called because I was looking to refinance my mortgage. Simply,
instead of trying to sell me something I didn't need, Mark (the gentleman I
spoke with) told me this was not the right time for me to refinance. What he
told me made sense for my situation, and I appreciated the honest advice. I
will definitely look this company up again when it is time for me to refinance.

"Project Mgr. Chris Burton was excellent to work with. Very responsive. He told us that it would take about 8 weeks for the windows to come in. I called the office after 8 weeks and the windows were in. Odd that no one had called me to tell me this. But we were able to set up the installation date very quickly. All the work was done in one day by the foreman, Jan, and one helper. They were very neat in removing the old windows. No mess was left outside and the outside capping looks very nice. Windows were installed neatly and caulked on the inside. No carpentry or re-painting was required by me at all. The windows look like they have always been there. For the money they seem to be of good quality. Floors and carpets didn't appear to be tarped completely during the installation. The new windows were cleaned after installation. But I found it odd that they asked for my Windex rather than having their own. They vacuumed somewhat at the end of the day. But I had to wash footprints off my kitchen floor and do a lot of sweeping and vacuuming around entrance doors and under the windows after they left. That said, it seemed like a small price to pay for the price and quality of the new windows and installation. My wife and I are very happy with the way the project turned out and would not hesitate to recommend Thermal Quality Window and Door Co."

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Yes, ceiling joists are typically load-bearing. However, their primary function is to support the weight of the ceiling and loads applied to it, like lighting fixtures and ceiling fans. They can also help support the roof, especially if they’re part of truss systems. Remember, the load-bearing capacity of ceiling joists depends on the material, size, and space between them. 

When deciding if you should use 2x6 or 2x8 deck joists, consider the size of the deck, joist spacing, and materials. Larger decks, larger-spaced joists, and weaker wood all require more support, meaning they need larger joists. For example, 2x8 redwood joists spaced 16 inches apart can only safely span up to 10 feet and 7 inches. On the other hand, 2x10 southern pine joists spaced 12 inches apart can be as big as 16 feet and 2 inches. If you aren’t sure what size joist is best for your project, speak with your deck builder.

Homeowners can increase the usefulness of their garage space in other ways, and one option is to extend the length of the garage by making it deeper. The process is similar to traditional garage extensions, but the end product is a garage with a different layout rather than additional parking spaces. 

Modern brick houses are really stick-built homes with a brick facade for aesthetic purposes only, so most have framing. With genuine brick construction, most homeowners install furring strips over the interior of the brick and then install drywall over those strips to cover the brick wall, so they don’t have traditional framing.

The easiest way to tell if a wall is load bearing is to check if it’s an exterior wall or if it runs perpendicular to the joists above and below it (or parallel to beams). Exterior walls are almost always load-bearing, and walls that run under beams or parallel to them are also usually load-bearing. There are exceptions to these rules, and walls that don’t fit into these categories can still be load-bearing. If you’re unsure, hire a structural engineer to look at your home to assess whether or not the wall is structural.
