"We hired this company to do a major renovation to our home, which included replacing flooring throughout the house, removing popcorn ceilings and painting throughout the house, kitchen and half bathroom remodel, new lighting, total renovation of our FROG to include built-in cabinets. The workers were prompt and professional, the owner Rafael was very available with any questions and they worked well with me with changes I made throughout the project. Also, they were flexible with me as far as scheduling work in the rooms that were cleared out, as we remained living in the home during this project and it worked out very well! Below are before and after pic of the kitchen and the FROG."

"I had the roofs replaced and skylights on my 5 bedroom ranch house with attached garage and re-roof a detached gambrel roofed barn. Bevins also installed aluminum trim, vinyl soffit around the house and replaced all the gutters. All the jobs couldn't have gone better! All the crews were extremely polite and professional; their work exceeded my expectations. I would hire them again and highly recommend Bevins to others."

"They were really good. They did a really good job. I was really happy with them. I even had him do some other stuff and he did it. It was a really hard job. He was under there and there were all kinds of stuff. I didn’t have critters or anything, but people who had lived in my house before had put a toilet in there. I paid him to remove that and he did. He did a really good job and now it’s all clean. Tell the one that did that, that it was actually such a good job. It was excellent, "A+" work. He just really helped me so good, he was so good."

They arrived on time and were very precise about what they were going to do.  Jimmy, the owner, checked the ceiling in my den where I had had a leak.  He checked the ceiling for me and got paint to match my ceiling and covered over the spot.  We have had three snow storms this year and no leak has appeared where it was fixed.

There were separate crews for the siding and for the roofing.  They crews came on time and did an excellent job of cleaning up after themselves.  My new roof looks great.  They had also replaced some siding for me which didn't quite match when it was done.  I called and they came out to check it.  They are ordering other siding and I expect them to be replacing it soon.  In addition, they are excellent about providing someone to do other jobs.  One of the workers thought he had broken my doorbell (it was working only erratically at the time) and spent some time trying to fix it.  It wasn't their fault, but they have promised to fix my doorbell with a better one, in any case. 

All of the workers were polite, efficient, and capable.  I was able to reach the company when I had a question.  I would recommend them without reservation.

"I had the pleasure of working with QualityFirst to get my house rental-ready. From start to finish, the team demonstrated professionalism, expertise and attention to detail and quality. With stellar and consistent communication throughout, Ryan and the team were more than willing to answer any questions I had, as well as collaborate with me throughout the entire process. The renovations were prompt, within budget and met to the highest standard of quality. I would recommend QualityFirst to anyone looking for property renovations. I will be looking forward to working with them again!"

Storm Shelters FAQs, answered by experts

If a storm or other natural disaster occurs in your area, you may not have immediate access to help. According to the U.S. Federal Emergency Management Agency, keep a disaster preparedness kit in your home with enough essentials to sustain your family for at least 72 hours. Put this in an easily accessible location to have it handy in case anything unthinkable happens.

There are energy-efficient options when building a cottage. Select green building materials, high-performance insulation, and energy-efficient windows when designing your cottage. Options such as solar panels, efficient HVAC systems, and LED lighting can lower your utility bills and reduce your environmental impact. Many builders offer energy-efficient upgrades as part of the design process.

When you compare traditional houses to prefab homes, the latter can be more sustainable for many reasons. For example, manufacturers have a more streamlined construction process for modular homes, which means there’s less waste. Additionally, some prefabricated housing manufacturers strive for energy-efficient buildings, and others produce off-the-grid capable homes that produce their own energy. 

Some companies even offer net-zero buildings, which are arguably the most sustainable. So if sustainability is important to you, prefab homes can be a great fit.

Yes, particularly handy DIYers can build their own storm shelter, especially when using a prefabricated kit and an existing space. However, it is a large project that can take several weeks, requiring significant manual labor and heavy equipment. For these reasons, hiring a professional is often recommended. You should always leave certain jobs to a pro, such as installing an underground shelter, projects requiring site excavation, or any custom-designed structures. These types of builds are complex, labor-intensive, and can cost more in the long run if not executed properly.

You can save on costs if you build your gazebo, but it’s a challenging DIY. Gazebos are permanent and structurally sound builds, so if you’re not an experienced engineer, this DIY can be tough and even dangerous. However, DIY-ing a pop-up temporary gazebo or building over an already constructed deck will be easier projects. If you want a long-lasting, high-quality gazebo, the project is best left to the pros.
