"We hired them to replace the floor in our living, kitchen, dining room, and laundry room. They worked with us to decide what kind/color flooring we wanted, did it in the time frame indicated, cleaned while they worked, were fun to be around, and came in UNDER estimate. I think the most important part is he returns phone calls/texts! Some things came up so it messed up the timeline we had (no big deal) and he let us know ahead of time. If you work (or try to) with any sort of contractor, hearing from them is the biggest challenge. The pics attached are what they faced when they pulled the carpet and the other pic is mid-dining room reno. Highly recommend - as much as I hate to, they may not be available for our next project if people hear how great they are!"

"I had 2 major jobs done by Vista with mixed results:
1) In early 2015, we sat down with Brian (the owner) and he gave us an estimate on replacing the roof and repairing portions of the cedar shakes on our house that had rotted.  The estimate included removing our gutters and then putting the same gutters back up.  It also included repairing the frame of an attic window that had started to rot and adding baffles to the attic for venting.  The roofing was done in March 2015 and went relatively well other than the fact that the crew chief had forgotten his cell phone and didn't have the contract on him.  He pulled down the front gutters and, rather than saving them to put them back up, he trashed them in the dumpster.  A different crew came several days later to do the window, shakes, and baffles.  Dave, the chief of this second crew, was short baffles and had to go out and find some more even though photos were taken of the attic prior to the job for just this reason.  The shakes were done, but one section near the gutters looked awful.  I had to call and complain, and the shakes were fixed during the second major job below.  Finally, Dave came a different day to replace the gutters that had been thrown out.  It quickly became very clear that the crew does not communicate well with whoever it is that draws up the contract/estimate and whatever was discussed during the estimate process is not well communicated to the crew.  Lots of back and  forth phone calls to get things right.  In the end, though, Vista replaced the old gutters with new gutters for free since trashing them was their fault.  They also found a replacement attic window for me for free.  The roof / gutter / window job ended up lasting for close to a month, and the dumpster was in our driveway for this entire time. Dave was a very friendly crew chief and kept us informed as best he could, but he would have left the cedar shake repair in a condition that was not acceptable.  Once we complained and sent pictures, a plan was put in place to fix this.  So, the communication was pretty bad, and there were some decent-sized hiccups, but Vista worked hard to make things right in the long-run, and I feel like I got a good deal for (ultimately) pretty good quality.  Tough to say whether I would hire them again -- they need to fix this communication issue so jobs go more smoothly.  This work cost about $11,000.
2) The second major job was in June 2015, where Vista replaced an entire wall of cedar shakes.  This time, Gladimir was the chief and he seemed to be the shake expert.  He did a great job and repaired the spots near the gutter where the previous work had been sub-par.  We supplied the shakes and painted them before Gladimir and his helper installed them.  We were very happy with this job.  This work cost about $1300.

"We love our cabinets! They look fantastic while remaining affordable. The friendly staff at AWD helped us from start to finish. They are very knowledgeable and gave us advice and tips when needed. They were receptive and patient with our ever-changing needs. Once we finalized our purchase, we received our cabinets within two weeks! The cabinets are very sturdy and the color is beautiful. The hinges and hardware are high quality. We are extremely pleased with AWD and would recommend them to any friends or family looking for good cabinets at a fair price."

"I was not confident that my color selections would produce the desired outcome. I accessed a lot of websites looking at paint colors, as well as Houzz and Pinterest. I felt I had an unusual challenge with the interior design structure. I began searching for "paint palette consultants" and came across Homemade Design (HMD). 

I described my issue and HMD thought a phone consultation could be done within 30 minutes. I was willing to extend the time if required, but 30 minutes was just enough. To make the conversation as productive as possible, HMD suggested that I post paint colors, room photos, etc. on a website. I created a Pinterest board for each room, along with paint colors I selected. I also created a board with pictures of "the look" I was trying to get. I did invest a fair amount of time building the boards, but I knew it was necessary to maximize the consultation.

A conference call was scheduled with a choice of times/days. I rec'd instructions for calling in and talked to a designer for 30 minutes. Amanda had reviewed my site and was able to make some great suggestions on what I could do to minimize areas that I didn't like and draw attention to areas on which I wanted to draw focus. She tactfully advised me that while my color selections would work, a different route would be more likely to accomplish my objectives.

In my experience, consulting with an expert (whatever the field) is almost always worth every penny. I believe I received a great value and will definitely use HMD's services in the future."

"Dynasty Decking has my vote for best construction team. They are not only honest and trustworthy but kind and understanding. They worked with my budget and troubleshooted with me so that I got the best possible results. I recommend them to all my friends and family. They’re even certified through the state unlike a few of the other people who gave me outrageous quotes."

"Service guy came as scheduled. Sent his "service" requirements to home base Home base calls back and lists, a very long list of what needs to be done and a very long list of what is not covered and what each item costs. The overall cost was outrageous and they weren't willing to give it to me in writing. Everything I had to pay for was overpriced, of course! They told me my other option would be to purchase my own water heater and they would reimburse me for what there water heater would cost, but no reimbursement for Labor, building permit, or any upgrades required by the local building department. The requirements of the building department were minimal. I went to Home Depot and had them do the installation and saved many hundreds of dollars. Lesson learned, have AHS do simpler repairs that don't require municipal building department approval. Have AHS pay for the equipment, and purchase installation from a trusted local installer."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Your local building code will list all the framing requirements for whatever type of structure you're building. Most exterior walls require spacing of 16 inches on-center, while many non-load-bearing interior walls only require 24 inches of spacing. However, there are also varying requirements depending on your construction material, so checking your municipality's rules is essential.

The cost to install a bow window can range from $1,500 to $15,000, with a national average of $3,900. The total price includes materials, which can cost between $1,200 and over $14,000, and labor, which typically adds $300 to $1,900. Several factors influence the final cost, including the window's size and frame material. For example, vinyl frames are the most budget-friendly option, while wood frames are more expensive. Custom features or energy-efficient upgrades will also increase the price. For comparison, a bay window installation typically costs between $1,000 and $7,000.

The average cost of DIY window framing is about $40 to $60 in materials. If you hire a window treatment professional, you’ll pay for materials plus labor costs—anywhere from $250 to $800 per window. The final cost is highly dependent on the window size, as larger windows are heavier and more difficult to install, as well as the type of window framing material.

No rules state how much of a load-bearing wall can be removed. Rather, you need to adequately support any area that is removed. Support should always be added to as much wall area is being removed. Failing to support the area properly will result in structural damage.

One of the most common house framing basics for decades has been using wood for the framing work. However, some framing contractors now suggest using steel frames. Steel is lightweight, resistant to fire, and resistant to moisture, all of which are areas where wood framing could cause problems. However, steel framing is more expensive than wood and limits your ability to insulate the home.
