"I will start off with the initial dealing with MHI Roofing in Bethel Park PA. Our Condo Community had all the roofs on 6 buildings of total 39 units re shingled in June of 2024 to the tune of nearly $140,000. They were fast and efficient. However, a few weeks down the road we had some issues with items that should have been done as requested. Called the Site Supervisor, Cam Kinnee, submitted the service request, and it took over a month to get this service done and completed. A few weeks later, we had heavy winds and a flue cap blow off, mind you, these flue caps were original from 1974 and were in horrible shape. They should have been replaced, but MHI just painted the old ones. So, I contact Cam Kinnee again, he schedules service, this took another month to get this taken care of, or so I thought. Fast forward to January 2025, some winds blew another flue cap off, I contacted Cam Kinnee once more, he was unable to do anything, as he was in a training class. During my wait for him to return my message from Jan 22, 2025 to Feb 3, 2025. Still not service on the first flue cap by the way!... March 11, 2025 another flue cap on another unit had blown off. I contacted Cam once again, he said he would let his office know. I get a response from Cam informing me that he no longer works for MHI Roofing. Since then I have called MHI numbers about 20 times at MHI Office in Mt Lebanon, I have left messages, no returned calls, no one answers the phone... I am so frustrated with MHI. If you plan to use this company... Please reconsider... Once they have your money they do not service their work! Very disappointed! BEWARE OF MHI!!"

"$100,000 in damages! This company completely ruined our home!! RMS was hired to finish our modular home - including decks, metal roof, HVAC, plumbing, electrical, finishing work, & construction of block basement. The results were not just disappointing, they were catastrophic. Licensed contractors who have inspected their unfinished work have estimated over $100,000 in repairs & reconstruction. We have spent thousands on a lawyer after begging them to make it right, but they've refused to take responsibility of their negligence & are happy to have us spend more money trying to take them to court. Our horrific experience with RMS has devastated our family financially & emotionally. We have extensive photo & video evidence supporting every claim. AVOID THIS COMPANY AT ALL COSTS!!!"

What’s the Bella difference? In a word—FAMILY! Our family pride shines through each and every time we talk with you! It starts with your first phone call to our office, when you’ll hear the voice of Alecia, our office manager—not a recorded message. Once you and Alecia have set up a time for you to get an estimate, she’ll give you a call before we meet with you to confirm your appointment. When one of our estimators arrive, please check your watch—because we are committed to being on time so we don’t waste any of yours. During our meeting with you, you will have the chance to see and touch full-sized samples of the railing that is currently the most installed vinyl railing in the tri-state area! Our estimator will be able to give you a price on the first visit. Throughout the installation process, we’ll keep you up to date and address any questions you have. Then, at the end of your Bella experience, you’ll be asked to fill out a survey to help us continue to make our service to our customers better than any other you have ever experienced! That’s what we mean by FAMILY! - See more at: http://bellarailings.com Additional DBA: Unique Exteriors Inc. Additional phones - (866) 242-5929, (724) 863-7435. Additional fax - (724) 872-2020.

"My Wife and I recently had the pleasure of working with Bella Railings on a project to replace all the old wood railings on my property with beautiful vinyl railings. From start to finish, the Bella Team displayed an exceptional level of professionalism, attention to detail, and craftsmanship that truly exceeded my expectations. The team approached the project with meticulous care, ensuring every aspect of the installation was handled with precision. The transformation from the outdated wood railings to the new vinyl railings was remarkable, adding a fresh, modern look to my home. The quality of the vinyl railings is top-notch, and the installation was flawless. One of the standout qualities of Bella Railings is their commitment to excellence. The team's dedication to their work was evident in every step of the process, from the initial consultation to the final installation. They took the time to understand my vision and executed it perfectly, leaving no detail overlooked. I highly recommend Bella Railings for anyone looking to upgrade their railings. Their combination of expertise, professionalism, and high-quality materials makes them a standout choice. I am incredibly satisfied with the results and look forward to enjoying my new railings for years to come. Thank you, Bella Railings, for a job well done!"

"We were extremely happy with the service, installation and quality provided by Pella of McMurray. We dealt with Rob Culbertson. Rob was superb to deal with in many aspects. I highly recommend selecting Rob to handle your needs. The installers were professional, respectful and diligent. They worked hard under cold conditions. They were cognizant of their cleanliness too and swept up frequently. The fiberglass windows and doors look great and I examined them thoroughly. My neighbors have been complimentary too.

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Using a steel frame may raise the value of your home. Steel is more heat resistant, has better longevity, and doesn’t need any upkeep compared to traditional wood. You can also customize a steel build a little easier than other materials like brick, concrete, and vinyl—which have trouble bending and adapting to renovations.

Enhances property value, ensures safety, and provides a sound basis for future construction.

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. 

In framing, studs are placed at 16-inch intervals to coincide with the typical spacing of wall materials such as drywall or plywood. This spacing is called "on-center" and is necessary for maintaining structural stability and efficient use of materials. The 16-inch spacing also helps to distribute the weight evenly across the building's structure. For those looking to cut material costs and improve energy efficiency, 24-inch stud spacing can be employed through a method called "advanced framing". This requires careful planning and adherence to local building codes to ensure structural integrity.

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.
