"We called Amethyst in June 2014 with the our my project the first for 2015 and suggested that we call back at the end of July or beginning of August. We called back and made arrangements to meet so she could see the space. Within about a month of the meeting, Kristi provided an intial plan for the room. We worked together over the next few months to find the right solution for the space. In October, Kristi brought out a team of carpenters, electricians, etc. to put together an estimate of the cost of the work. The estimate was within the range of what I expected and we decided to go forward in the spring.      We made some additional changes to plans over the winter and finalized the plan for the architectural review board in mid-April.    Construction started at the end of April.    The demolition and rough carpentry was high quality and done ahead of schedule.    Things slowed down with with the dry wall contractor and that put everything behind because the carpenters as well as the other subcontractors were now well into construction season and very busy and it seemed like there were lots of days when no one was on the job.   The work was substantially done by the end of June in about the time frame projected and we are very happy with the room.   All of the contractors did quality work.
 
There were a few glitches along the way:  
1.  The entrance to the room from the outside involved steps because the room was brought to the level of the rest of the house.  Initially, the carpenters built wooden steps.   However, the building inspector indicated that the steps did not meet code because a landing is required for safety.   The carpenters built a landing larger than the required size because of the configuration of the area/   The landing was ugly and covered up a bed that we use for planting.   We indicated to Kristi that the solution was unacceptable and she suggested building a deck that covered the whole area.    We asked her to draw it and price it and it was more than $5,000.  We then worked together to find something more reasonably priced, but attractive.  We are very happy with the final solution, which added about $1,000 to the cost.   However, we were unhappy because the original plan was not up to code, an unacceptable solution was decided between the architect and the carpenter and built without any input from us, and that this was a code issue that could have been foreseen and took a lot of time to resolve.
2.  The french doors to the house from the room did not have a good locking system.   The plans called for a new lock, but that was never priced into the contract.   It turned out that due the type of door, the lock itself was going to be very expensive.    The doors were old and warped and this seemed like too much to spend on the old doors.     I asked Kristi to find out how much new doors would cost pre-finished and was told about $1,200.    We talked about wood types and I asked them to price out maple with some kind of textured glass.   After checking, we were told that we could get an Oak Door for $1,200 and that frosted glass would cost about $200 more, but the maple and the glass would add another $1,400.  The final price of the door  installed once it was finally bid was over $2,000.    In the end, we decided to replace the doors with regular glass.   The doors were ordered at the end of July  and were installed in September.   We are happy with the new doors, but would have preferred to have a realistic price up front rather than a guess a that turned out to be way off and also the number of times we had to go back in forth to get a realistic number.
Kristi was very responsive throughout the process.   The room matches the architecture of the house and in the end is exactly what we wanted.    Construction projects always have glitches and cost overruns and we felt fortunate that that they were kept to a minimum and that Kristi took care of dealing directly with the subcontractors to resolve issues.    We would consider using her again for a project should the need arise.

"For starters this guy (Len) and his crew did an outstanding job. I am really picky and not exactly easy to work for - I will admit. I don't mind paying a fair price but I expect the work to be excellent, not just good, but excellent. Nothing worse than lousy worksmanship.
This painter exceeded my expectations. I wanted my ceilings painted white and the walls a different color, plus I have crown molding to deal with and I needed the lines to be perfect - they were. I just can't say enough on how happy I am with the work. It feels like I am in a new home. I don't think I will ever look for other bids when I need painting after this experience.
The price was very competitive as well, plus  he honored a discount for me looking him up on Angies List. Other bids came in higher and the contractors were not nearly as responsive as Len. He came to my house promply to a**** and provide a bid. I found him to be very patient and very polite. He was very helpful with suggestions with color and type of paint. When it came time for the work he was on time and finished on time. My house was spotless when he was done. Prior to payment he wanted to make sure I was happy with the work, if not he would make it right.
I rarely have an experience this pleasant when dealing with contractors. If I could provide an A+ rating I would. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a top quality painter. I strongly doubt you will be disappointed with Len and his crew.
I will be needing more work done and will not hesitate to have him do the work.

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

If the bowing basement wall is less than 2 inches, steel or carbon fiber straps are the best solution. For bowing that is more than 2 inches, wall anchors are the most effective. A contractor can help you decide the best method of repair for your home's foundation and also address the root cause of the trouble.

Joists do distribute their load to beams, but they don’t sit on top of the beams. Instead, home builders nail or screw the joists directly to the beams such that the end of the joist butts up against the edge of the beam. Beams can sit on other beams for support, but you’ll never see a joist sitting on top of a beam or another joist.

Yes, a 2x6 should hold a porch swing and safely support the load. A smaller joist runs the risk of it not offering enough support for the swing. If you have a joist smaller than 2x6, add additional bolstering support.

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.
