"Erskine does a fantastic job! He has divided a room into two for me, replaced windows and doors, built railings and installed grab bars, put in a beautiful kitchen backsplash, installed bathroom mirror/light fixtures, and repaired drywall and trim. Painting is next on the list! He is extremely professional and responsive and I feel like I have a true partner in my home renovations. As a bonus, he is also reasonably priced! Highly recommend!!"
"Steve and his employees were very easy to work with and did excellent work. They performed some repairs to my deck floor and repaired rotted out moldings around outside doors. Steve was easy to reach and always returned calls and kept me informed about when he would begin the repairs. The cost of his work was reasonable, and I would highly recommend him for handyman services!!"
"I have entirely too many kind words for this 999 word limit.
After a recent surgery, I took a fall in my closet because there was no space and I found a kit online for a historical Victorian/Edwardian laundry drying system with a rope and pulley.
This man literally resurrected a dying form of technology for me. How many handymen can say that? And he did so over multiple trips to both my apartment AND the home improvement stores.
He was so kind and so good at his job. He handled everything that this very old, very odd project threw at him with ease. What he built is now my favorite part of my apartment.
I would hire him again in a millisecond.
Do yourself a favor and hire him for your next project. If he can handle my project, he can handle any project."
"SAMS Remodeling has been excellent! They arrive on time every day and their work awesome. Should be completed by early next week. 3 1/2 weeks to remodel a basement adding a laundry room, bathroom and a water resistant Pergo floor is exactly what I was looking for. Ranks 5 stars in my book."
Don’t forget to factor in the climate where you live during the planning stage. If your area is prone to bitter cold and heavy snow, you might want to invest in stronger greenhouse materials like a concrete slab, steel frame, and glass walls or plan to take your greenhouse down for the winter.
This is a personal choice, but if you’re in a hurry to have your garden up or feel overwhelmed by all that goes into choosing the right hydroponic garden, a professional can help you quickly get started. However, if you’re an avid DIYer, then you might prefer installing a hydroponic garden on your own.
The quickest way you can protect plants and trees from frost is to cover them with garden blankets or frost cloths. Also, bringing potted plants or trees indoors is much simpler than trying to cover and protect them outdoors. Remember to anchor blankets with something such as sandbags, fabric pins, or rocks if the forecast calls for strong winds to keep them from blowing away and exposing your trees and plants.
The only real drawback to green building is that it’s more expensive up front, with per-square-foot prices sitting 33% higher than what you’d pay to build a traditional home. The higher cost is due to more expensive building materials and more labor to ensure every aspect of the home is as efficient as possible. However, green buildings often save money in the long run, so this is just a temporary downside.
