They did an EXCELLENT job! They went over & beyond fixing every t-post, restringing the barbed wire, & installing an electric wire. They also removed 2 trees. I highly recommend them & will be using them for future projects!

They did a real good job installing some hardwood flooring for us. Mr West was here when he said he would be, worked hard, did things the right way, and was a very likeable person. I will use West Construction again if the need comes along, and I would definitely recommend him.

He replaced the facet with one that was better for me. The original one always started leaking after about two months use and I would have to replace the grommet. The he installed is a faucet that does not require a grommet.

Doorbell Installation questions, answered by experts

Yes, including recycled denim and cellulose from natural fibers.

You do not always need to remove old insulation before adding new. If the existing insulation is in good condition—not wet, physically damaged, moldy, or infested with pests—you can add new insulation directly on top of it for a compounding effect. You can also mix different types, such as adding blown-in insulation around existing fiberglass batts.

However, removal is recommended if the old insulation is compromised by water damage or pests. You should also remove it if you plan to install a different type of insulation, like switching from roll or batt insulation to spray foam. If the existing insulation is very old or damaged, you will likely get more benefit from removing it and starting fresh.

If you’re using faced insulation with paper, face the paper toward the inside of the room during the installation process.

A good way to remember this is that the paper should face the “warm side” as it’s the vapor barrier, meaning it should face toward where the heat will be coming from.

Cellular shades, also known as honeycomb shades, are the most energy-efficient and insulating window treatments. Their honeycomb structure is made of soft fabric that forms layered cell pockets. These pockets trap air, creating a thermal barrier that reduces heat loss in the winter and blocks heat gain in the summer. For even greater insulation, consider double- or triple-cell varieties. Side-tracked cellular shades, which seal the edges of the window frame, can further minimize air leaks and maximize energy efficiency.

You don’t need to staple insulation, as your drywall and studs will hold it into place. But if you already have a staple gun and staples lying around, it can help keep the product in place and avoid any shifting. But, most experts agree it’s an unnecessary step.

If you’re adding a vapor barrier, you will need to staple that in place.
