"We LOVE our decks. We had a big complicated project and it was no problem for Decks Unlimited. Beautiful mahogony Azek deck, Westbury aluminum railings & deck lighting. Randy & his crew are great. We have already recommended to others and would definitely hire again."

"Ben Lindow installed two exterior doors recently in my 1927 home. It was a difficult and complicated job, as the house had non-standard sizes for things and has shifted and moved as all old homes do, but Ben patiently worked it all out, and now we have two beautiful, well-fitted, secure and weatherproof doors on our home. I could not be more grateful. Definitely would recommend his work, and he's a nice guy, too."

"Wow! Just wanted to take a moment to say how very impressed we are with Danny and the outcome of our repair. The level of courteous and professional service we received was honestly a sweet surprise in todays world. Owning a duplex has exposed us to several repair persons and none have ever been as responsive, thorough or efficient as Honey Do & More. We are so glad to have found your business and you all will be the first we recommend or call when we need help with this old house again which I'm sure isn't too far off into the future. Thank you so much for being great!"

"Just terrific to work with. Professional, on-time, and priced right. Ivan took care of reviewing the 2 small projects (that seemed overwhelming to me!), scheduling the work and came back for final inspection, after his crew finished up. I am newly widowed and am much at ease now, knowing my storage shed is like new and the mailboxes at the foot of the driveway are solidly in place and won't fall over. Will confidently recommend this company to anyone."

"Jenny did a great job reinforcing our wobbly carport. Now we feel comfortable parking a car underneath! She was very knowledgeable, prompt, and completed the work for a very fair price."

"I had one big project - power washing and sealing an enormous deck plus my large dock - and several smaller projects a few of which were urgent! SNC replied right away, came to review the projects, gave me a quote and got to work!! I could not be happier with the results!! Great to know I have a handyman I can count on! Real peace of mind!"

"We originally scheduled the work in the kitchen. The bathroom was an add on we felt very comfortable proceeding with when we saw the results of our kitchen floor. The floor turned out lovely. The stain evened out color in the grout and helped to finish off the whole room. In preparation for the work the Grout Doctor took time to explain to us differences between sealing and staining the grout and walked us through selecting a color and imaging the effect of different shades on the whole floor. We felt comfortable with the work when we agreed to it and are very pleased with the result. The bathroom tile rerouting project was also a success and looks great.

"Mr Roth did a beautiful job, very quickly. The price was for 30 windows. We had 42. We were told ahead of time that there would be an extra charge if we wanted all the windows cleaned. We gladly paid it.

"We replaced the roof and siding on our detached garage, and had the service door replaced. David, the owner, came out and did the estimate and stayed in close touch with me throughout the project. His crew did an awesome job, even returning to finish the siding the day after a blizzard (they shoveled a path to the work area and cleared out around the garage). Everything looks terrific. Not only that, but their bid was the lowest of the five I got for the project."
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.
