"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

Most Cape Cod houses are two stories tall at the peak, although they’re considered one-and-a-half stories tall because the steep roof pitch cuts off a portion of the living space on the second story. Unless you raise the roof on your Cape Cod house to add a dormer, the interior rooms upstairs will lose some usable living space to the sloped ceilings.

There are a few easy ways to locate a wall stud without a stud finder. First, try knocking on the wall with your knuckles. Most parts of the wall will sound hollow, but when you tap over a stud, it will sound more solid. Alternatively, since studs are spaced 16 or 24 inches apart, you can measure those distances from a corner of the room, which will always have a stud.

It’s sometimes safe to replace a load-bearing wall with a beam, but you need a structural engineer to sign off on the project. You’ll also likely have to upgrade to a steel I-beam or another material that’s stronger than wood to maintain the level of support you need without the wall underneath.

Framing is the shell of the house. It includes several steps, including studs, plumbing, and electricity. A professional will ensure the wall frame is secured for the house’s structural integrity. 

Framing prices change depending on the material and whether the wall is load-bearing. Most contractors use wood to frame a home, but metal is another popular choice.

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.
