"Gordon was pleasant and responsive. He was professional and treated us with respect. He saw the importance of getting the work in a timely manner and completed the project in the timeline we expected (especially given COVID, pulling permits, winter, and holidays!). GR General Contracting was recommended to us by a friend who had a good experience, and we would absolutely recommend him to others as well. Additionally, they had the best price for the work compared to other contractors."

"My wife and I bought a summer cottage in Fontana, WI that we wanted to turn into a year-round home in December 2021. This was our first significant remodel of any home we’ve ever owned. At that time, many contractors were very busy and/or very expensive. We discussed our project with at least a dozen potential contractors. We chose MH Renovations, and we are thrilled with that decision. Project. We completely remodeled the existing kitchen and 2 full bathrooms. We replaced all flooring and repainted the entire inside. We replaced and added wood trim in various rooms. We replaced the boiler, added A/C, and replaced a large portion of the electrical system. Value. We felt the quality of workmanship was above average, and the cost was below average. Generally, we agree with the old axiom that you get what you pay for. So, we felt we got more than we paid for. For a couple who’s generally quite frugal, that’s saying a lot. Decisions. With any large project like this, there are a thousand decisions to be made. This contractor seemed to know exactly which decisions they should make and which to let the homeowner make. We were glad to be shielded from the smaller decisions and be asked on the bigger ones. Just right. Communications. Just perfect. Not too much, and we never felt in the dark on anything. Changes. With a large project, we expected we’d want to make some changes during the project. That was true, and the contractor was perfectly happy to accommodate those requests and give us options. Perfect. Schedule. At a time when most contractors were giving start dates of 6-8 months out and more, this contractor quoted us just 3 months to begin. That was about the earliest of any quote. We were thrilled when they even were able to start a month earlier. And after they began, they pressed to keep the project on time, working with various sub-contractors, while shielding us from any of that pain. So our project started early (Feb 2022), completed with the expected duration, and ended early (April 2022). Far exceeded our expectations. Unexpected issues. As with any large project, there will always be some unforeseen issues. For ours, it was the existing electrical system. The subcontracted electrician uncovered ungrounded outlets, missing switch and outlet boxes, wiring comprised of foot-long parts, and bare wires. All you can hope for is that those problems get identified and rectified correctly, and that it doesn’t cost an arm and a leg. Our contractor kept us informed and searched for related, hidden issues once problems became clear. Our contractor genuinely felt bad about this added cost, and very generously did some of the work without adding cost. This is going above and beyond for your customer. Our contractor handling these unexpected issue as well as we could have hoped for. Budget. If we hadn’t added any requests during the project and didn’t uncover the hidden/existing electrical issues, we would haven been right on budget. The unexpected electrical work added ~10% to the entire budget. That overrun was about what we expected when we budgeted for this project, so we felt we came out just fine on budget. Was it fun? Yes! We truly enjoyed our discussions/calls/texts/emails with our contractor. We genuinely liked our contractor, and that made the experience a lot less stressful and painful than it could have been otherwise. These are our people. And we liked their employees and their sub-contractors too. Everyone we encountered was just a pro. Would we hire this contractor again? Definitely. I’m sure we will, and we won’t bother calling anyone else."

"Alpha ventures , is by far the most professional team I’ve ever had the pleasure working on my house. Not only are they courteous of my house. The work they do is amazing! Also because of Chris ( owner of alpha) my basement escaped a flood while he was working on my basement he noticed that my sump pump wasn’t working properly he brought it to my attention and fixed that as well while he was putting carpet and flooring in my basement. Their attention to detail is bar none. I will definitely be hiring them to finish my kitchen and bathrooms upstairs. I literally have dealt with other contractors that didn’t handle good Bussiness. Alpha is a breath of fresh air to say the least, me and my wife is so happy with the work and professionalism. Way to go alpha. If you don’t hire this team what are you doing ?"

"I have worked with contractors in the past but, never had such kind, courteous, punctual, and patient young men as Jovon and Jeremy. They worked with me on the situation I was in. My neighbor was going to install my storm door for free but he ended up in a cast due to a work injury. So now I'm stuck. I contact Angi to get some Quotes. Jovon set up the appointment. Arrived on time. Just toward the end of the install we discover I had ordered the door to wide I had a 36" and I needed a 32". So then I went online to find the right door. Jovon and Jeremy gave me another appointment for the next day, They arrived at 10 AM and went out of their way to take me back to Menards to exchange the door. I Will RECOMMEND these wonderful guys to every one I hear of that needs work done. Jovon and Jeremy I Thank you for doing a great job at an affordable price. ."

"This is our first experience with contractors (in any sense), so my wife and I were a bit nervous. Duane and his employees were prompt, courteous, and willing to answer any/all questions. Mind you, my wife is a bit picky about things, so the process required overview by the 'boss', and Duane was more than accommodating."

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.

Bump-out additions can add some space to a closet without requiring any significant structural work. This entails pushing back the existing rear or side of the closet, simply moving the wall into either an adjacent room or unused space. For ground-floor closets, this could even be extended to the exterior of the home, but that has its own complications. Bump-outs are a good discussion to have with your contractor if you’re just looking to increase the space a little—not renovate the entire closet space.

Baseboards don’t have to be nailed into studs. However, nailing them into studs adds to their stability. When studs aren’t available, you can secure them with drywall nails directly into the drywall and adhesive. Always aim to nail into studs, especially in high-traffic or impact-prone areas.

When choosing a drywall anchor, consider the weight of the object you're hanging and how much weight the anchor will need to support. The heavier the weight, the stronger the anchor you'll need. You’ll find the weight capacity on the packaging when shopping for anchors. 

Also, remember that you can use more than one anchor when hanging something on the wall. If you're using multiple anchors, divide the object weight by the number of anchors to determine how much each will need to support. If you need help deciding which drywall anchor to use, you can hire a handyperson to hang your objects. 

Removing a load-bearing wall is best handled by professionals. However, if you have the skill set and decide to DIY the project, you will still need at least one additional person to assist you. Aside from helping with demolition, you'll need another hand to install the new support beam.
