"The work done was very good. We went back and forth over whether to install a vinyl or wood railing, finally settling on wood. I asked them to match what was existing on my porch. The handrail matched well, but the balusters were made from a lower grade wood with visible knots and defects, where the existing was clear pine. The handiwork on the railing was excellent. It is too bad they didn't spend a few more dollars on materials. The painting was good, although they failed to fill in dings and nail holes on my existing porch. Again, how much time does that take to go from a good job to an excellent job? After I wrote the above, someone came out from JTH to apply putty to the defects in the balusters and fill in the holes on the existing porch, then he re-painted. He was most kind about making it right. I pointed out to him that the painters painted around things on the porch that could have been easily removed, meaning some paint got on the door knocker and on the natural brick face of the house. There was also some spillage that I noticed after the job was done. We would not use them again for a painting job; we might consider for carpentry."

"First and foremost you can not go into a project such as this without having a collaborative relationship with the Contractor. 
My husband and I are 60+ and with all the work we did to get the house ready for this project we learned a lot,  Our primary role was to  get all materials needed by Justin and his crew to get the job done.
We brought the bamboo flooring, moulding, bathroom materials (vanity/mirror, tub, tile, grout, tank/commode, shower door), handrail/stairs, lights for top/bottom of the stairs and Justin got the paint, nails for the flooring, plaster and drywall.  Justin picked up materials from Home Depot as needed and went with me to get some of the materials to be sure it was correct. 
Justin created the work plan, we provided the key products. Justin has a crew that worked long hours to get the prep work done for the painting.  Taking down the popcorn ceiling made enough dust to have created its own dust storm. What a mess...LOL! 
The painter came one Saturday for painting.
The young man (Ariel) doing the flooring worked from 8am to 7pm on specific days.  This young man did an amazing job with the floors both hardwood and tile. What a work ethic he has!
Justin was always onsite each morning at 7am to make sure the crew had their assignments to complete the project and at the end of each work day progress was obvious.  No day passed without seeing visible progress.  They always cleaned up after themselves and took stuff to the dump to keep the site clear.
Since both my husband and I were out of the house during the day we had to leave the crew.  The trust with Justin and his crew created a situation that was both successful and non-intimidating.  Frustrations existed but were managed.  If issues come up they were addressed immediately; Justin made it easy to work this project.
One lesson we learned is to ask more questions and to be more specific.  Certain tasks were discussed but not written down; lesson learned.  Gotta keep a to do list!!  This is a collaborate effort so it not fair to expect the Contactor to know what you are thinking.  Remember its your home!
We had an issue with the tank/commode and did not clearly understand the problem; took several days to get a water leak corrected.  Justin's plumber was onsite twice, a visit to Home Depot and a second opinion finally resolved the issue.
Justin creates a work process that creates results.  The attention to the bigger picture allowed the project to get done.  Some days the vision was not so clear to us but the end product was a success."

"I had my hardwood refinished in a townhouse. They were extremely patient with me in trying to select a color to match other wooden accents in my home. Everyone loves my flooring now. The only reason I gave them a 4.5 instead of a 5, I wish they would have filled in all of the gaps with wood putty before staining."

"Overall, very well. There were two pair of workers here over 7.5 days. The first did very good work, but had difficulty matching the stain of vintage woodworK (probably maple). Also they were average at clean-up. The second team was terrific, especially at matching the color and restoring the woodwork. They also did excellent repair/restoration and cleaned up well."

Woodworking questions, answered by experts

Floor joists provide support and stability to the flooring installed above them, whether it be hardwood, tile, or carpet. They’re essentially horizontal beams that hold up the subfloor and everything that lies on top of it. Floor joists also help evenly distribute weight across their structure so that it’s shared between walls, beams, and your foundation.

Joists do distribute their load to beams, but they don’t sit on top of the beams. Instead, home builders nail or screw the joists directly to the beams such that the end of the joist butts up against the edge of the beam. Beams can sit on other beams for support, but you’ll never see a joist sitting on top of a beam or another joist.

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.

Labor plays a significant role in the installation of butcher block countertops. Depending on who you hire, your location, the customization level of the project, and whether the wood is already finished, you may pay a professional between $10 and $150 per square foot to install a butcher block countertop. On average, expect the per-hour price to run between $60 and $100.

Balusters provide vertical support to make sure your stair railing and/or deck is as sturdy and safe as possible. These spindles help hold up the railing so people walking up or down stairs have something strong to hold onto. They can also act as a unique design element if they’re custom-made to suit a specific style or size requirement.
