"Renovated old carpet and replaced with LVP. Wolf Creek was Professional, responsive, and timely.

I would recommend their services and hope I get to use them personally again."
"I don't have a picture, but Alex came and helped get my ceiling leveled for drywall. He also fixed a plumbing leak under my house. He is the best in the business!"
"Everyone was pleased with the results . . . It needed to be done and it was done well in a timely manner!!! We were thankful for the attention to detail and for suggestions from a professional who shared his expertise."
"I never contacted the provider or used this service in anyway. I have to write this review so that the request to write this review stops popping up. The rating is bogus as it is required to be able to submit. "
"They did a good job. She had to submit like a photo but my daughter had them work on the central are of the loft. The deal was for one room. She got a lot of good ideal from her and it was worth it for her. They were professional and I did not hear anything negative."
"Early Nov. 2014 - We called Jerry asking for a quote. He quickly responded and even came on a Saturday so my husband could be there. We found Jerry to be very knowledgable. He provided excellent insight into what we actually could and couldn't hope to achieve in our extremely small bathroom in a nearly century old house.
We are very new to contractors, contracting and best hiring practices.
We informed Jerry that we wanted to hire him. We explained that we would be seeking a home repair loan & asked for a written quote. Jerry explained that, due to the unknown extend of mold, it was hard for him to say what the total cost would be. So, he couldn't really write me a quote. He did say that, depending on the mold & the fixtures we bought - the job was likely between $6k and $12k.
Nov. 26, 2014: Loan completed - We immediately contacted Mr. Hunt to inform him and ask what could formally be done to secure his services. Due to a family member's hospice care and the holiday season - we stated that we would like to get started after New Years. We offered a deposit and Mr. Hunt graciously declined. He didn't ask for a contract to be signed since the potential cost was so varied.
Jan. 2, 2015: We met with Jerry and his son at Home Depot to coordinate our preferences and discuss design ideas. I had asked about replacing the tub with a shower and moving the toilet into the newly emptied space. I honestly take full responsibility for throwing out this completely new design idea - thus taking us back to the drawing board. AT THIS MEETING - IT'S IMPORTANT TO NOTE: Jerry & his son were absolutely amazing help to us as we navigated a wealth of options we had never noticed in bathroom decor before. Then, when I tossed out my radical idea - Jerry's son was quickly taking pen to paper and drawing as Jerry painted my thoughts into words. We agreed that Jerry would contact a plumber to assess the ability to move the toilet.
Mid January 2015. Jerry brought the plumbing company in to assess the potential toilet move. The plumber had several ideas & concerns to check on and did call me back in the following week or so with questions. Both Jerry & the plumber were to meet, go over the results of their research and then contact us.
Over the next month, Jerry was having some personal matters that were slowing his progress. But, his Angie's list ratings for staying with a job were good. I insisted that he take care of what he needed to - but.....he always insisted he would get back to me 'next week'.
Feb. 28, 2015 Saturday: I called Jerry. I was hoping to find out what could be done to get this project going. Again, he was in the midst of recently happened personal concerns that required his attention - rightly so. I did hire Mr. Hunt in November and asked that we not start until January - due to our own family/holiday concerns. We have no issue with showing compassion. . Jerry apologized and, as I offered to start coordinating on his behalf - he insisted that, as general contractor, HE was responsible and would contact the plumber the following week. He firmly stated that he would call me back 'if not that week - then no later than the following one'.
I decided that I would wait for Mr. Hunt to make the next contact.
I never heard from him again.
Maybe I did something that chased him off? I can't figure it out though. We're fairly nice folk and we had cash to pay. Our question about moving the toilet appeared to be reasonable and that decision was done by early February and coordinated through contact directly with the plumber. Basically, whatever percent extra normally billed by General for such service would've been easy money. We were never told the issue was overbooking or job related. It's all just.....odd.

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts
Yes, walls on the top floor can be load-bearing if stacked on the floor’s foundation.
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.
Yes, using certified lumber and engineered wood products for reduced environmental impact.
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.
Carpenters are trained to take on a wide range of home projects. You can hire a carpenter to do framing, roofing, build custom furniture, and make significant upgrades to your home. General carpenters are usually able to handle most jobs. However, you may also choose to hire a carpenter who specializes in a specific type of carpentry.
