If I can’t do I won’t waste your time. However, there isn’t much I am unable to do. I have a background in the home improvement sector and have completed several installs ranging from simple furniture builds to full fence installs. I have repaired doors, replaced cabinets and changed out ceiling fans. I have done landscaping and worked on a farm. If I haven’t done it I can definitely figure it out or refer you to someone I know.

After finding his contact information on Angie's List and checking out his website, I contacted Mr. Westbrook by email on a Sunday afternoon and got a call from him the same day. We agreed that he would stop by my home to discuss a Master Suite addition the following Thursday evening, which was the first time I was available.
I am a former custom home builder and had a good idea about what I wanted, but I was looking for someone who had both the design and building skills to complete the project to my demanding standards. When Mr. Westbrook arrived precisely on time in the pouring rain, I quickly realized that he knew exactly what he was talking about and his personality was perfect for the job. Within about 5 minutes, Mr. Westbrook became Wally and I felt as if I had known him for years.
Several times over the next few days, we exchanged sketches of the proposed project and I was extremely pleased with the results. With just a builder's sketch of my existing floor plan, dimensions from an appraisal and a few photographs that Wally took during our initial meeting, he was quickly able to create a 3 dimensional plan and elevation of my existing home which he used to design the new addition.
The scope of work included a major expansion of the covered porch and Master Bedroom, adding an adjacent 15' X 15' sitting room and adding a new pool bath. Within just a few days, Wally submitted the preliminary design which was exactly what I had envisioned. His plan matched the current design perfectly, and complemented the existing roof plan very well--which proved his expertise in both design and construction.
After integrating a few ideas that I had provided and making some revisions that he had suggested, Wally prepared the final plans and elevations for the HOA and permit review. From the first visit to the final review, it was obvious to me that Wally had the necessary skill set and commitment to do the job well and to meet my specific expectations. It is rare to find someone these days who is so committed to his work, but Wally exceeded even my expectations. Overall, it was a real pleasure to do business with him, and I would absolutely recommend him to anyone who is considering a major addition to their home.
"I bid the projects with 2 companies and a handy man recommended by a neighbor. KW Painter's owner, James Odom, spent more time estimating the job than the other two combined and bid the jobs at lower prices as individual projects and much, much lower (up to 40%) as a package deal. He specified the materials as all inclusive, with no additional charges if he exceeded his materials estimates. Work crew of 5 and James arrived on time on the agreed date and did the entire job in two days. The crew was courteous and, most important, professional, working as a well coordinated team. Quality of work exceeded my expectations in every respect. The crew took care when moving yard furniture and around the garden areas and pool pump equipment areas where siding needed removal and replacement. Paint was Sherwin Williams, 25 year, and mixed to a perfect match to the 8 year old existing colors on both siding and trim. They calked the entire house, including brick areas with high grade 40 year caulking as specified in the bid. Fence replacement was tied to existing 4X4s sunk into concrete so getting a strong extension to six feet was essential. James did it with 4x4 extensions to the new height reinforced with full length 2X4s bolted to the original and added 4X4s in such a way that it looks great and is more stable and solid than the original posts. The gate was supposed to be a standard gate but he modified it a little as we went along to give it a simple but more custom look, at no extra charge. James used a stronger industrial gate latch than I anticipated which really makes the gate work better than the original it replaced. At the conclusion, they cleaned the entire area and moved everything back to their original locations in the yard. My family has lived in this 37 year old house for 20 years and have used both painters and handy men over the years, including adding a major addition to the back of the house using a professional builder and then later adding the pool 12 years ago. I have been both satisfied and seriously disappointed in the past. However, I have never had an experience as this one where James and his crew worked together in such a coordinated, mutually respectful and positive fashion to meet and exceed my expectations. I will highly recommend this firm to my friends, neighbors and anyone who asks about them. They are a step above any contracting group or individual handyman I have worked with in the past. I will use them again as the need arises."

In most cases, you can attach a greenhouse to any type of house. However, certain factors need to be considered, such as the structural integrity of the house, available space, and local building regulations. You should consult with a professional contractor or architect to assess the feasibility and ensure proper construction methods.
Don’t forget to factor in the climate where you live during the planning stage. If your area is prone to bitter cold and heavy snow, you might want to invest in stronger greenhouse materials like a concrete slab, steel frame, and glass walls or plan to take your greenhouse down for the winter.
The choice is really yours. Greenhouses available in kits can make the job go quicker. You can find greenhouse kits to match your style and size needs. If you enjoy designing and planning, you can build your own from materials of your choosing. Just be sure to do your research beforehand so everything ends up structurally sound.
One handy thing about whole-house dehumidifiers is, once installed, you don’t have to worry about placement or changing the dehumidifier’s position. But if you are using a portable dehumidifier, we suggest keeping it away from walls, vents, and furniture. It needs a central, unobstructed spot with access to lots of air to do its job.
The quickest way you can protect plants and trees from frost is to cover them with garden blankets or frost cloths. Also, bringing potted plants or trees indoors is much simpler than trying to cover and protect them outdoors. Remember to anchor blankets with something such as sandbags, fabric pins, or rocks if the forecast calls for strong winds to keep them from blowing away and exposing your trees and plants.
