"Have my new privacy fence and I couldn’t be happier. I was very impressed working with Daniel who was very thorough in explaining the process and the professionalism he showed from beginning to end. I would recommend them to anyone needing a fence installed."

"Mr. VanCleave was prompt to come over and see what we were needing taking measurements and offering suggestions on the best way to do our projects and a ballpark estimate. He returned in only a couple of days with a firm bid which we accepted. He did say he was booked up for a few weeks and would be July before he could start the project. We said we were in no hurry and that would be fine. Due to the extreme heat this summer he was delayed in starting but started the first part of September and was done in about a week and a half. The new fence could not be done the way we had hoped due to buried cables but still looks very good and is sturdy. The gate is had made and well done swinging in as we had requested.
In removing the old deck, they found hidden damage on the house where the deck had been connected. They found only minor damage and said it would not be much extra to repair but needed to be done. We agreed and felt that he could have inflated both the cost as well as the amount of work involved. I believe that says a lot about a person's honesty and integrity. The deck was slightly enlarged from the original with steps leading down to the patio and a pergola was also added for shade as the deck faces the west. Both of these were far beyond what we expected and we are extremely pleased with the outcome.
We have already asked him to do a couple of other jobs for us and are looking at possibly bathroom renovations down the road and will definitely talk to Mr. VanCleave about these as well. We will recommend him to anyone anytime.

"I had a home warranty, an extra policy on my house, so I had to use the people that they provided. Other than their telephone answering, which takes forever, they were really good. I was always glad that I had that coverage. They had a person come out to confirm that my dryer was not broken and that it was the vent, and then I hired a provider to come and clean it. I had to pay the service charge for the technician to come out and check my dryer. When you try to call them you can never get through on the phone; they don't have enough telephone operators. I never like to do it online because I wanted to talk to somebody and find out who they were going to pick as my vendor, because one time in all of the times that I used them, they sent me a really, really novice plumber who messed up my sink. I think I had a broken garbage disposal or something that he didn't have the tools, his truck broke down on the way, he was very young and wet behind the years, and it was a company I never heard of. So whenever I needed plumbing or maintenance on appliances or something, I would just call them and say I wanna use that other named company. But they always do an excellent job. I would say a B overall only because of how hard it is to get in touch with them. For price, I shopped around before I renewed with them and they were very comparable to other companies and they didn't have a lot of exclusions, so I would say A. I'm retired now and I won't be buying another house so I had to cancel my contract with them, but if I was going to, yes I would consider using them in the future. "

A treehouse stresses the tree, but proper design keeps that impact manageable. Start with a healthy species, use tree-attachment bolts instead of lag screws, and allow room for future growth. A qualified treehouse builder or arborist can assess load capacity, ensure safe fastening, and monitor the tree’s health after construction.
The time it takes to build a treehouse depends on its size and complexity, and whether you choose a prefab kit or a custom design. A straightforward child's prefab treehouse can be assembled in as little as two days to a week. More complex designs can take two to six weeks. Adding features like plumbing and electricity can add several days to the project timeline. Building a fully livable treehouse can take anywhere from several months to a year.
The best trees for constructing a treehouse are strong and healthy with a minimum diameter of 12 inches. Ideal choices include maple, oak, hemlock, and fir trees. If suitable trees aren't available, you can install additional support posts to reinforce the structure. Consulting with an arborist or local treehouse builder ensures your site is evaluated correctly and your treehouse is securely anchored.
A well-constructed treehouse can last anywhere from 10 to 25 years or more. The lifespan depends on the quality of the materials used and the extent to which they are maintained. Applying weatherproof treatments to the wood can help extend its lifespan. Keep in mind that treehouses in areas with harsh weather conditions may wear faster than those in milder climates.
Building a treehouse for year‑round living is entirely possible when you address both the technical challenges and the lifestyle benefits head‑on. This project requires a secure design that incorporates superior insulation, integrated plumbing, and robust electrical systems, while also creating a sustainable, minimalist, and eco-friendly retreat. To ensure comfort and safety, invest in enhanced structural supports and adhere to strict code-compliance measures. Professional consultation is essential to transform your treehouse into a secure, full-time living space that incorporates off-the-grid and environmentally conscious design.
Plumbing installation in a treehouse is challenging because it requires unique, engineered solutions for an off‑ground structure. This project requires custom-designed water distribution systems, reinforced connections, and specialized adjustments that exceed the standard requirements for home plumbing. In addition, implementing innovative solutions such as composting toilets, rainwater collection systems, and graywater sinks ensures safe operation, efficient drainage, and sustainable water usage. These measures, when combined with rigorous adherence to building codes, guarantee that your treehouse’s plumbing system operates securely and efficiently.
