"Ray did a fantastic job on our remodel. We had a very particular look in mind for our house and Ray had the patience and expertise to get it done the right way. This wasn’t the first time that Ray performed work for our family. Ray completed 2 professional office finish-outs for our family business in the past, so that’s why we knew he was the man for the job. If you’re looking for a professional general contractor that will get the job done the right way and not cut corners, then Ray is the man for the job."

"When we decided to redo our kitchen in April of 2012, we knew what we wanted fixed, our budget and that's about it. We started talking to contractors, kitchen design centers and researching ideas. We quickly realized we were in WAY over our heads. A lot of places offer free design services if you buy all of your materials through them. We didn't want to be tied down. We didn't want a complete tear down to the studs, either. Homemade Design to the rescue! First of all the price was an absolute steal for the service provided. Amanda and co. Listened to what we wanted and came up with inovative,functional and beautiful solutions. Our house is old. We wanted to keep that 1920s feel, but still have a dishwasher, granite countertops and stainless appliances! Amanda had the brilliant idea of only replacing the bottom cabinets. She also gave me excellent instructions on how to refinish my existing cabinets so they look like new. This was a perfect solution for US. Homemade Design gave us ideas for layout, cabinets, lighting, wall paint, appliances, furniture, countertops, backsplash, faucets, sink,and cusions for built in. She would have recommended flooring if we wanted,but we didn't. Now, Amanda is more like a consultant...( I actually called her my kitchen remodel therapist). You still are ultimately responsible for the plan and what works for you. If your measurements are off (like mine were) that's on you. I was adament about no island and no microwave over the stove and so she didn't put those in the design. Some suggestions were not my style. And I said so. Honestly, if I picked out my own kitchen it would be so safe: white subway tile or something. Amanda gave me the guts to mix patterns and create something spectacular! It took almost a year to complete ( contractors fault) We did a lot of work ourselves. We bought the cabinets, backsplash tile, light fixtures, table and banquette cusions through Homemade Design at a great discount, we checked!! If you try shopping for any part of your kitchen, the volume of choices can be overwhelming. We loved having Amanda narrow it down for us. Communication was through email, mostly. She never took longer than three business days to respond to my million questions or concerns. Awesome. 5 months later, my kitchen is a dream come true. And I owe it all to Homemade Design! "
My house settled on one side due to the possible nasty characteristics of black clay soil and the builder not site compacting enough on the lower side with the fill. My insurance company paid for a hydro test on the sewer line to eliminate a leak issue for the foundation issue. Our water lines come in overhead. A second test was done after the foundation lift to make sure no damage occurred from the lift. That test was on my dime.
I did my homework by reviewing engineering sites which evaluates different types of foundation repair services. I received 4 bids from contractors. All had very similar elevation readings. Three of the four were similar in with steel pier repair and one wanted to use 6?x 12? concrete cylinders and pier the whole house including the inside by punching holes in the floor. I visually saw all the Baird parts being used at a H&G show. I went with Baird. They could answer my detailed questions.
November 3rd, Diego and crew began work. Eleven pier sites were established and with the heavy duty brackets in place the steel piers were pressed down to a 24? refusal depth. A log was kept of depth and pressure readings during this process.
November 4th, Diego and crew tied all eleven lift points together hydraulically and began the lift slowly monitoring the lift changes outside as well as Diego monitored the elevation read out changes within the house. I witnessed the cracks in the ceramic tile and ceilings closing up.
When the corrected elevation was established, the piers were locked into place. All soil was replaced and watered down to help settle. Area was cleaned up. We received 4? of rain beginning that night. The soil settled well.
Diego and crew were very efficient from start to finish. They really knew what they were doing. During the process the city inspector came by twice and the contracted engineering firm did a site visit and evaluation.
Baird sent me the warranty certificate, the engineering report and the final detailed invoice.

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts
There are a variety of second-story deck privacy ideas depending on your budget and aesthetic. For starters, you might consider fencing or tall privacy railing that masks a good portion of the open deck. A pergola or an awning can provide additional cover and shade. Outdoor curtains are an easy way to add or remove privacy at your convenience, plus they’re a wallet-friendly way to decorate your deck.
Installing an ornamental or decorative porch column takes around three to five hours. Structural columns take longer because your pro has to install a jack to hold up the roof while switching the column out. If there's any structural damage, it can add several days to the timeline to repair the damage.
One of the most common house framing basics for decades has been using wood for the framing work. However, some framing contractors now suggest using steel frames. Steel is lightweight, resistant to fire, and resistant to moisture, all of which are areas where wood framing could cause problems. However, steel framing is more expensive than wood and limits your ability to insulate the home.
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.
Bump-out additions can add some space to a closet without requiring any significant structural work. This entails pushing back the existing rear or side of the closet, simply moving the wall into either an adjacent room or unused space. For ground-floor closets, this could even be extended to the exterior of the home, but that has its own complications. Bump-outs are a good discussion to have with your contractor if you’re just looking to increase the space a little—not renovate the entire closet space.
