"I can't speak highly enough regarding Jeff Lemires's work. I've worked with various contractors throughout my career and have never come across one who is not only thoroughly trained and talented in the trade but who is also scrupulously honest and trust worthy. I have reviewed a number of individuals with whom I've conducted business in the upper valley but never anyone who so richly deserves a perfect score.. This gentleman deserves only those clients who understand and appreciate quality at its best at a fair and reasonable price. "

"I had asked another contractor to repair a hole in my barn wall and was in a hurry due to a preset meeting with a realtor about my property. He misunderstood the level of work and took the wall down. His estimate for replacing the wall was more than I was prepared to pay. I called Mr. Mom (Alan) to get an estimate on repairing the wall. I had read about his experience with interior painting on Angie's List and also asked for a quote on a few places in my home. He came to my house soon after I spoke with him (same day) and within a few hours had emailed me very professional quotes on several projects in my house. He stood by his 20% off coupon for Angie's List members which made the job much more affordable. I was able to have him repair the wall and do the immediate painting I needed done. He understood my timeline and started work on a Saturday in order to get it completed on time. He worked until very late on Saturday and the following Monday, finishing everything within plenty of time for my meeting. He and his co-workers were professional and pleasant. They were neat and did an excellent job! He went a bit over with materials - which I would have gladly paid the difference for - but he took it off the labor part of the invoice. I will definitely hire him again. He has a lot of energy and a great work ethic!"

"I contacted Cully because of his ratings on Angie's List as it is very hard to find a reliable contractor in this small town where we own apartments. Cully immediately got back to me - we discussed what work needed to be done and he had a very professional proposal emailed to me within 24 hours. The price was right on target for work performed and we are very satisfied with his work. Initially, we agreed for him to sheet-rock 2 ceilings but found that he was so knowledgable and handy so we also had him put up paneling. We did not have him paint the interior as we did that ourselves (he did paint the ceilings when completed). Come spring time, I will hire him again to do some exterior painting. He is my first "go-to" now when we need repairs, painting, or sheet-rocking done. He cleaned up each time he finished working, making it look better than it had before he started. Cully was always on time and in communication with me either by phone or email so I knew where the project stood at all times. He even suggested an electrician and was there to let him in and explain what we wanted done when we had to upgrade our smoke detectors. I would highly recommend Cully, he went above and beyond what was asked of him. Elicia Dowd"

"When we decided to redo our kitchen in April of 2012, we knew what we wanted fixed, our budget and that's about it. We started talking to contractors, kitchen design centers and researching ideas. We quickly realized we were in WAY over our heads. A lot of places offer free design services if you buy all of your materials through them. We didn't want to be tied down. We didn't want a complete tear down to the studs, either. Homemade Design to the rescue! First of all the price was an absolute steal for the service provided. Amanda and co. Listened to what we wanted and came up with inovative,functional and beautiful solutions. Our house is old. We wanted to keep that 1920s feel, but still have a dishwasher, granite countertops and stainless appliances! Amanda had the brilliant idea of only replacing the bottom cabinets. She also gave me excellent instructions on how to refinish my existing cabinets so they look like new. This was a perfect solution for US. Homemade Design gave us ideas for layout, cabinets, lighting, wall paint, appliances, furniture, countertops, backsplash, faucets, sink,and cusions for built in. She would have recommended flooring if we wanted,but we didn't. Now, Amanda is more like a consultant...( I actually called her my kitchen remodel therapist). You still are ultimately responsible for the plan and what works for you. If your measurements are off (like mine were) that's on you. I was adament about no island and no microwave over the stove and so she didn't put those in the design. Some suggestions were not my style. And I said so. Honestly, if I picked out my own kitchen it would be so safe: white subway tile or something. Amanda gave me the guts to mix patterns and create something spectacular! It took almost a year to complete ( contractors fault) We did a lot of work ourselves. We bought the cabinets, backsplash tile, light fixtures, table and banquette cusions through Homemade Design at a great discount, we checked!! If you try shopping for any part of your kitchen, the volume of choices can be overwhelming. We loved having Amanda narrow it down for us. Communication was through email, mostly. She never took longer than three business days to respond to my million questions or concerns. Awesome. 5 months later, my kitchen is a dream come true. And I owe it all to Homemade Design! "
Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts
While it is possible to build a wooden carport yourself, especially if you are skilled in carpentry, professional construction is recommended. Professionals ensure structural integrity, proper anchoring, correct alignment, and the use of quality materials for a stable and durable result.
While framing a basement is not as difficult as finishing a basement, it's something you should typically leave to the pros. That’s because if something is installed correctly, it will affect your entire basement. However, you can take care of some of the smaller tasks, like filling holes or putting up some insulation.
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.
Yes, ceiling joists are typically load-bearing. However, their primary function is to support the weight of the ceiling and loads applied to it, like lighting fixtures and ceiling fans. They can also help support the roof, especially if they’re part of truss systems. Remember, the load-bearing capacity of ceiling joists depends on the material, size, and space between them.
Not all porch columns are load-bearing, though they can be. Some porch columns are simply decorative. There are ways to identify a load-bearing column, like looking for visible seams and a foundation. Also, check to see if the column directly enters the ground. In some porch installations, a contractor will excavate a hole to install a column into the earth along with a buried cement base for stability.
