"I have inspected multiple remodeling jobs performed by Happy Homes and have been completely blown away by their attention to detail and craftsmanship of work. I highly recommend them"
"CS Drywall did a very commendable job repairing and patching Drywall in two rooms. The crew was very professional and provided great customer care and service throughout the project!"
"Patrick and his crew were efficient, friendly, professional and hard workers. They were on time, to the minute, the flooring looks wonderful and I would recommend the company to everyone needing flooring-It was all done within a week! I couldn't have asked for anyone better. Actually I would give them 10 stars-and believe me, I have had a lot of companies do work for me-none were better than PK flooring."
"They did a fine job, however, getting in contact with them was incredibly frustrating. When we finally did get them, they would say, "We called you," but if they did, they did not leave a message. My husband gave them our house phone, cell phone, email address, etc. and still it was very hard to get a hold of them.

|Another thing that was nerve wracking for me was that they showed up with other people and wandered around our farm a couple of times, taking pictures. And they brought their dog who would bark and made our dogs bark, too -- plus they hooked her/him to the pasture fence a few times which made my animals nervous.
|
|They were very friendly and worked well when they were working. Once they started the job, they finished it in a timely manner. However, because it was so difficult to contact them, they lost out on another job that we had. They wanted to do the whole job (we would have liked them to do the brickwork) and gave us a quote for everything -- however, we wanted to deal with the contractor we'd already started working with -- he said that he would subcontract with them so they could do the brickwork (this is before we had really tried to work with A O Handy). After trying to contact them numerous times, and some of the other unease about their wandering around the farm, we decided to go with a subcontractor that the contractor knew.
|
|As far as using them in the future -- if we had a small job, my husband would consider them, he really liked their work -- as long as it wasn't something that had to be done in a timely manner since we wouldn't know how long it would take them to get back to us. My husband flat out said, "Please leave a message, so that I know that you called and when you plan to be here" and still they didn't.
|
|I don't know what the cost of the service was -- I'll have to ask my husband, who is not available this week."
"Fiama and her team are spectacular cleaners! I hired them to do a deep cleaning of our house as a present for my wife and I and we were so impressed that we asked them to come back twice per month! Now, I'm no Karen, so I wasn't wiping my finger on the baseboards to check if they were dust free, so if that's the kind of clean you're looking for, I honestly can't tell you one way or another if this is it. But if you're a normal person looking to walk into your kitchen, living room, bedroom, bathroom, or any room in your house, take it in with a deep refreshing breath, and a relaxing exhale, "aaaaaa," the Mom & Daughter Cleaning Service team is perfect for you! Seriously, hire them!!! My only complaint is that they left the Twin Cities, so I sure hope all of you Wisconsinites make their move worth it!"
"We were extremely pleased with the work done by Two Guys Remodeling. They were able to start the project within our time needs. The flooring they installed looks perfect and we are looking forward to many years with the beautiful job as it was done."
"Jason Bass LLC. is a great company to work with. Jason and his team were very professional and knowledgeable about what needed to be done. I will definitely use Jason Bass LLC. again."
"I feel extremely fortunate to have found Vicki through Angie's List ! She is an extremely talented person who is very easy to deal with. She has a breath of knowledge that allows her to accommodate my tastes, but also ensure that the overall design is in sync with the design and location of my home. She has a very diplomatic way of suggesting when I'm going astray with my choices and in every case where she has told me "Trust Me" I have been delighted ! She is very aggressive in helping me find the best pricing and often times will work with the vendors directly hence saving me the time. She also has excellent local contacts. Everyone I've worked with through Vicki has been timely, professional, and highly competent. My project is far from complete. I intend to continue to use Vicki and her expert advice until the end !!!!"
Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts
You should avoid drilling or cutting into load-bearing beams because removing material will weaken it and increase the risk of structural damage or even collapse. If you do need to drill into a load-bearing beam, speak with a structural engineer first to discuss where it’s safest to drill and the width and depth of the bit that’s safe to use.
When hanging a door frame, it’s recommended that you use screws, not nails. Screws are more secure, easier to tighten, and easier to remove if you need to adjust the frame. On average, the cost to replace a door frame is about $400, but you can save on labor costs if you’re confident in your ability to DIY the project.
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.
The primary parts of a house that need framing during construction are floors, exterior walls, interior walls, and the roof. The framing in these areas provides the skeleton for adding other materials over the top. With walls, for example, contractors can hang drywall over the interior walls and siding over the outside of the exterior walls. Proper framing ensures a sturdy house that is built to last.
House framing can be expensive because the materials are pricey, and the job requires a high level of expertise. The more complex the plans, the more expensive the job, but even the most basic frame needs to be installed with high-quality materials and precision. When pricing your home’s framework, remember that a sturdy frame is necessary to create a safe structure.
