"I appreciated that the contractor, Matt, took a good deal of time at the start of the project to listen to what I wanted in the renovation. He also suggested some alternative ideas that I ended up going with and these turned out for the better. Matt and his crew proved flexible for my schedule, and made sure I was satisfied at the end. Clean-up was responsible and thorough. I am likely to hire them again."

"After two poor contractors in a row we were skeptical of anyone but decided to take a chance on Alan based on the many excellent reviews. We are very happy to say the reviews were right on target! What a nice guy and very attentive to the details of his chosen work. My sister's in-laws are/were in the concrete business, so she knows a thing or two about concrete, said "he's good!" when I told her of the work they were doing. We have gotten numerous compliments on our new driveway. Would definitely hire again and would definitely recommend!"

"I had the most difficult plumbing leak - an underground water pipe from my well to the house was leaking under my driveway.  I have done my own plumbing repairs before, but I have never dealt with anything like this, so I sought help from a professional.

The contractor told me what the problem most likely was before he even started work - there was a pipe coupling under the driveway that finally gave out after 25 years.  He dug the hole by hand over 2 feet deep, and sure enough, there was a leaky old pipe coupling!

The job went pretty quickly, other than digging the hole, but that was understandable.  Moving that much dirt and rocks with a shovel takes a lot of time.

The cost was very reasonable - I expected to have to pay a lot more for an underground leak, and I'm glad to be rid of that problem."

"The main house re-roofing went fine. The carport/storage shed flat roof, not so good. The initial project, remove old roof, bad plywood and wood joists, replace with 30lb paper and 5v metal, well. After the first rain, leaks were discovered. The contractor came back and replaced the 30lb felt with ice and snow shield and re-screwed down the metal. A couple of good rains and the roof still leaks. Not a big leak, but little leaks turn into big ones and then major repair.
I have tried to get them to come back out to repair the very minor leak for at least 6 weeks now, and all I have gotten from them is lip/text service. It will take me more time to write this negative review about their poor customer service
 then it will to make the repair!!! By the way,  the roof repair is only about 3-4 months old.

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can find ceiling joists using simple tools if a stud finder isn't available.

Using a hammer requires patience and a keen ear. Gently tap the ceiling in a grid pattern, listening for sound changes. A hollow sound indicates space between joists, while a solid, dull thud suggests a joist. Mark the location with a pencil and confirm by tapping from different angles.

Alternatively, you can use a nail, but this method will leave small holes. You'll feel increased resistance when the nail hits a joist. Mark the spot and repeat the process every 16 or 24 inches to map the joist locations. This method is considered less reliable than using a stud finder.

Yes, you will need a jack for a rim joist replacement. To prevent sagging and facilitate the removal of load-bearing wood, you’ll need to relieve the pressure from this joint before beginning work. 

Due to hydraulics and other specialized equipment, a sill plate and rim joist replacement are not typically a DIY project. Hiring a professional structural engineer and experienced contractors is the best approach to replacing rotted sill plates and rim joists.

Carpenters are trained to take on a wide range of home projects. You can hire a carpenter to do framing, roofing, build custom furniture, and make significant upgrades to your home. General carpenters are usually able to handle most jobs. However, you may also choose to hire a carpenter who specializes in a specific type of carpentry. 

Removing a load-bearing wall is best handled by professionals. However, if you have the skill set and decide to DIY the project, you will still need at least one additional person to assist you. Aside from helping with demolition, you'll need another hand to install the new support beam.

Stick frames, metal frames, or prefabricated concrete frames are included in framing a house, along with creating the framework and space for windows, doors, and entryways. Other aspects of developing a home—like drywall, insulation, windows, doors, and more—are not included in the cost to frame a house.
