"Wow! I had the privilege of Bailey helping me with a project to build a pantry and I can’t express how impressed I am with his dedication and craftsmanship. He worked SO hard, all day long, and finished the entire thing in record time. All while having innovated ideas to make the project extremely functional and professional. His craftsmanship was outstanding and his work ethic was the cherry on top. I hope to work with him again soon."
"This was my first experience hiring a contractor and Mr. Sturgess's was great to work with. He was able to meet with me outside of my work hours to go over my plans. His crew was on time, friendly, and answered any questions I had. Mr. Sturgess rates were very reasonable, and he and his team are very honest and easy to work. Since they have finished converting my carport to the screened sun room, I asked if they could go ahead and finish some other projects for me. I can't wait until all of my projects are done."
"I've hired Ben and his crew for several large projects and he never disappoints. He is communicative, punctual, personable, and skilled in estimating/building."
"Mike and Crystal were very professional from the first phone contact through the completion of the work. They showed up on time, their work was neat and they worked very efficiently. My windows were in pretty bad shape. They really took their time and prepped them very well which showed in the finished product. When asked to redo or touch up anything it was done without question. In the end we received a very good paint job on a timely basis and at a competitive price. I have already recommended Mike's Painting to others in my neighborhood and would use him again for future painting needs. "
"Luke went above and beyond to restore the beauty of our historic with an emaculate paint job. He is professional, courteous, detail-oriented, and thorough. We plan to hire him for all of our future painting needs."

Skid foundations, deck block foundations, and concrete block foundations are the most affordable shed foundation options. Of these, we recommend deck blocks. Deck blocks are easy to install and level, and they raise your shed up off the ground to prevent rotting from exposure to water and moisture. Keep in mind that deck blocks won’t resist soil movement or frost heave, so they’re not ideal in areas with expansive soil or a deep frost line.
