"They were absolutely amazing to work with. Our house is 118 years old and they hadn't been updated since the 70s. They treated my home like their own. I am beyond happy with the end result"

"The contractor was very good at the cabinet install. He was very polite and considerate. He was knowledgeable. Would recommend him to anyone who needed this type of work done"

Before Picture.  See how short those upper cabinets are?
A before picture, you can see a clean work area and where the ceiling height was originally.
Fortunately, with carbon filters, range hoods don't always need the vent stack.  We were able to eliminate this, and the soffeting, to extend the cabinets to the ceiling, while removing the old drop down ceiling.

"WHL Construction responded promptly to my phone call regarding a fairly large second story balcony that was pulling loose from my house's ledger board and was in danger of falling. (Years ago, the original contractor used nails instead of bolts to attach it.) Bill Lamey came to my house the morning after I called and spent over an hour examining the problem and determining a permanent solution. He pulled his 7-man crew from another job and in one day's time, starting at 7:30AM, they disassembled part of the balcony, reattached the support boards to the ledger board with durable, strong bolts, replaced the Trex flooring which had been damaged by screws popping up before the problem was noticed, and reassembled everything including the original balcony rails and spindles. Several contractors wanted to trash the entire balcony and start over with a time estimate of a couple weeks and a much higher price tag. Bill's crew did an excellent job and his quote was reasonable. Plus, he guaranteed his work in writing. I highly recommend WHL Construction."

"Once I sent her all the measurements, it took her a little while to get the options back to me.  Overall, they're good designs.  However, they're very simplistic and give general ideas for space planning.  I was hoping to have a better idea for sizes of furniture for the space and some variations on staging.  
Jill was very responsive when I did have a question.  I'm not sure how helpful it is to have a virtual design done.  If we lived in similar cities, I'd probably use her again for help with additional designs.

"“Great work & very trustworthy. Worked with Sam Weber on a quick job on our kids’ rooms. He was very knowledgeable about potential issues before getting into it & was able to get it finished very quickly. I would trust him with any future builds or remodels."

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Framing a basement takes three to five days, on average, when completed by a professional, though it may take longer for a larger space. Keep in mind this doesn’t include the time to complete the design, obtain permits, and install the drywall on the framing. On average, fully finishing a basement takes an average of 45 days.

When building a house, it is customary to use 16d nails that measure 3 1/2 inches in length to construct the frame. These nails are crucial in providing the necessary support and stability for structural elements like joists and studs, which ensures a sturdy framework.

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.

Joists do distribute their load to beams, but they don’t sit on top of the beams. Instead, home builders nail or screw the joists directly to the beams such that the end of the joist butts up against the edge of the beam. Beams can sit on other beams for support, but you’ll never see a joist sitting on top of a beam or another joist.

Professionals charge between $60 and $95 per hour to install ornamental porch columns. The amount of time they need varies based on the condition of the porch, whether they need to remove old columns, and if there is any damage to your porch's structure. This cost can increase if more issues come up during the installation process.
