"Most excellent! Blue Diamond's ability to work with us with all our idiosyncrasies and inexperience was very welcomed. Their transparency with costs, scheduling, sub-contractors, city inspections, and permits, gave us a huge amount of confidence. Their ability to incorporate our changes was relatively seamless. Also, their focus on communicating via email, text, or phone calls, kept us current on the issues that occurred during our remodel. All in all, they were excellent and are working on other projects with our family."
""How'd it go? We want all the details.", Angieslist persisted. TD Services was a shot in the dark for me six months ago when I purchased a new home in the country and had it empty for a month to fix up as possible without future disruptions to wife/baby/family lifestyle. I initially dealt with Tim Dickerson (you'll notice the TD in the name...). To fix up a lengthy list of wants and needs on a house starting to show its age in places, I ultimately hired 16 contractors of all forms (maids, HVAC, plumbing, electrical, handyman, sprinkler, etc. etc. etc.). I mention this because Tim and the rest of TD Services (Katie, Travis, Mike and some subcontractors) continue to be my number one favorite contractor that I've dealt with. Whether on Angieslist or Yelp, surely you've dealt with folks who just did not mesh with your desires or even style of communication. It's bound to happen, and it often makes picking contractors an easy task when multiple quotes are being received. What I like most about Tim (& Co.) at TD Services is their recommendations on how to do something better, stronger or more aesthetically pleasing than what had originally been planned. Please allow me to gives some examples: 1.) There is a balcony on the house (on a steeply inclined property) that is roughly three stories high. The explained without pushing financially that it would very soon be at "rickety bridge" status. Although I did not want to spend the money, ultimately I had them rebuild the balcony, which is beautiful and sturdy and no longer concerns me to have people on it. Not only does it precisely match the previous spec which helps with aesthetics, they came up with another great solution to round out the job. See, even with the new balcony, there's still small natural gap between the stone and where the wood balcony begins. For folks who fear heights, walking onto this balcony would still cause a stomach to flip because you see a 1.5" gap of certain death staring you in the face if you look down. They put a flexible caulk/filler typically used around pools in this gap which obscures the fear and lets one admire the view. Even after finding this clever solution, they went to multiple stores until they found a white version (it's typically a muddy gray) just so it'd look best with our home. 2.) Wide wooden gates. On our porch, if we wanted to go down into the yard, there was a wide, heavy wooden gate on either side that would need to be lifted and positioned elsewhere on the deck. Lifting and moving heavy wooden gates based on whether dogs or people were primarily using the outside? this is how things had been done for 20 years. It's a *lot* of weight to put on a swivel, wheels had been considered, etc. Just as with the last example, TD Services really had both aesthetics and functionality in mind the whole way. Ultimately, they replaced the previous setup with a hinged cattlegate something-or-other that could use existing material but open with one finger. Again, very impressed with them. This literally made our exterior accessible as opposed to the annoyance with could have been. 3.) They hung a swing. No big deal. Anyone can hang a swing. I can hang a swing. What I appreciated was their foresight to put O-rings below the swing so that uncommonly strong winds wouldn't cause the swing to break our back doors and come on inside. Unlikely as the situation may be, we just had 60 mile/hr. winds at the house last week, and any other contractor who may not know or care as much would have just hung the darn swing and been done with it. A good idea with spending a few bucks on O-rings or whatever they're called just saved me quite a headache. 4.) They sealed around every. single. point of entry. Sealing and caulking is probably not a highly skilled task, but I appreciated them pushing through such a mundane task at a reasonable rate and with professionalism throughout. I have nothing but the highest praise for TD Services, which is why I've waited this long to say anything. I needed to get some things done around this house and didn't want any of you people getting in the way of my place on their schedule. As it stands, I request that each and every one of TD's future customers relinquish their spots in line and forfeit all authority, as I'm already irked that my positivity toward a quality contractor will in any way, shape or form hinder my life. In short: be well, call Tim, and give me first dibs. These guys are d*** good at what they do. "
"Excellent work on everything in a timely fashion; no money paid until job completed, contractor was on site and working with his crew; Manuel is very considerate about work hours and when it fits your schedule too. I would definitely hire him again."
Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts
To calculate the number of linear feet of baseboard you’ll need, measure the length of each wall of the room you’re installing them in as close to the floor as possible, rounding up to the next full linear foot. If it’s your first DIY molding job, having a few extra feet on hand for miscuts is a good idea.
If the bowing basement wall is less than 2 inches, steel or carbon fiber straps are the best solution. For bowing that is more than 2 inches, wall anchors are the most effective. A contractor can help you decide the best method of repair for your home's foundation and also address the root cause of the trouble.
It’s best to use two screws to secure deck boards into every joist. Securing the boards to every joist makes the deck more structurally sound, while using two screws on the outer sides of the boards can help prevent warping and cupping.
Framing a house with steel generally takes less time—around five to eight weeks—than most building materials. The steel components can also be made quickly off-site and manufactured with pre-punched holes for running piping and electrical wiring, which will lessen the prep work and extra labor during construction.
Your local building code will list all the framing requirements for whatever type of structure you're building. Most exterior walls require spacing of 16 inches on-center, while many non-load-bearing interior walls only require 24 inches of spacing. However, there are also varying requirements depending on your construction material, so checking your municipality's rules is essential.
