"All the workers were very courteous and did a nice job cleaning up everyday. The job was completed in the time frame specified. I would definitely refer them to my friends and family members."
"Great job. Able to take care of our needs early. Very skilled since they were in and out in less then 30 mins for removing and installing 46 foot gutter."
"I received a call with a more than reasonable quote within hours of sending a request. I orignally painted the wall myself, ran out of paint, bought the wrong color, and made a mess of the wall. Someone was here 5 days later to complete the job and made it so my mess up didn’t happen. Professional, kind, great price, even greater work. The photo doesn’t do it justice because I have poor lighting in the room that makes it look strange, but they did an incredible job with what I had given them"
"As an experienced custom home builder I've worked with many subcontractors but Harris Home Improvement has uniquely separated himself from other Finish Carpenters. His work is outstanding. His professionalism is demonstrated throughout the entire project; on time, communicates well, exceptional energy with a great attitude and the finish product is gorgeous."
"Awesome job! I highly recommend Martin Landscaping they cleaned up my whole property, brought in rock and gravel looks great! Starting a retaining wall next.🌸👍"
"“Planet Builders, LLC” Recently installed siding on the walls of my home. They were very informative about the project and cost before they began. They preformed the work professionally and I was very satisfied with the completed results."
"The wind blew the tarpaper off my shed roof during a rainstorm. I live in a one-bedroom house and my shed is essential for storage. I have no idea how to find a roofer, so I asked Angi. Randy of Roof4Life was the first to call, and he sent Giovanni Bozzolo to estimate the price. Gio asked good questions and gave me a reasonable quote which I accepted. The following Saturday the sun came out and a crew arrived to give me a new roof in just a few hours. I couldn't believe how easy they made it look and how quickly the shed was made better than it had ever been! The workers were experts at their craft and fun for me to watch. I am pretty sure my job was not as big as many jobs Roof4Life has done, but they made me feel like their most important customer. You should check them out!"
"They have now done two separate jobs on different occasions. Jobs consisted of preparing a floor for carpeting after a animal had ruined the previous carpet and wood. Also fixed my front door which was a little crooked so it stuck. I then called them back for drywall work after I had redid my plumbing. Excellent, professional work for both jobs. Well priced. Went above and beyond. Was also very nice and great to talk to. All around great work that I recommend. And I know we will have other projects for this company."
"This company was recommended to me by a very neighbor who recently had a carport installed by Scott. We had them do a complete kitchen remodel and I am very pleased with the quality of work performed. The pricing was very fair and done in a timely manner. I would definitely recommend them to family and friends."

By careful planning and reinforcement to maintain structural integrity.
Using a steel frame may raise the value of your home. Steel is more heat resistant, has better longevity, and doesn’t need any upkeep compared to traditional wood. You can also customize a steel build a little easier than other materials like brick, concrete, and vinyl—which have trouble bending and adapting to renovations.
It’s best to use two screws to secure deck boards into every joist. Securing the boards to every joist makes the deck more structurally sound, while using two screws on the outer sides of the boards can help prevent warping and cupping.
Most of the time, you’ll want to use screws on your subfloor rather than nails. Nails can actually weaken plywood, whereas screws can easily penetrate without damage. They also form a more secure connection because of their shape, preventing squeaky floors and tightly holding the subfloor in place. That said, some contractors do prefer nails depending on the type of floor covering because they allow for more flexibility.
