"I hired the construction company to put polymeric sand on my patio to prevent weeds from growing. I was told the job will be done. But upon completion, the weeds started to grow within a week and now it is been a few weeks, and there is weeds all over the place. Upon questioning, I was then told that it is regular sand that was filled and not polymeric sand. I paid over $2000 to have the work done. It seems like the money went down the drain for nothing. I just wish that I was told beforehand about what kind of sand will be used. I would have hired someone else to do the job then had I known. Now I am going to end up spraying everything many times a year again. Also, I am stuck with this send which I do not know how to remove to redo the job."

"As SB Improvements has done for us before, excellent work was done. A new set of attic folding stairs was neatly installed and a new kitchen sink was also installed that same day. SB improvements patiently trimmed the countertop until the sink fit just right. Nearly a week later no leaks have been observed. As always the SB Improvements crew was polite and thorough, the work neatly done."

Woodworking questions, answered by experts

Building a new home can be more expensive than buying an existing one, depending on the housing market in your area. Many homeowners still find that building a new house is worth the investment as they can choose the exact layout they want, as well as to choose their own floors, wall coverings, appliances, and finishes. If you live close enough to the build site, you can also stop by to check on the builder’s progress, which can provide some peace of mind that the project is worth it.

Rather than using a common two-by-four piece of wood for a rafter, you probably will use two-by-six, two-by-eight, two-by-ten, or even two-by-twelve boards. Wider lumber is typically a better choice in a larger building as it provides more sturdiness. Some installers may use wider lumber for rafters near the edges of the roof, where the greatest stress occurs, and save money with narrower lumber toward the middle.

If you remove a load-bearing wall to create an entrance to a carport or covered patio, you can expect to pay between $3,200 and $9,500, with an average cost of $6,400. Factors such as the type of addition and if that area needs additional work will add to the price.

Carports can actually increase property value. It often only increases the value by a few %, but the value can increase if you design your carport thoughtfully and with an eye for utility. For instance, a carport with storage space or a workshop will be more valuable than one without it.

Regular sealing, repainting, and checking for wood rot or pest infestations help maintain longevity.
