"We removed the wood paneling in the basement shortly after moving in. That's when we noticed 13 cracks in the foundation. None of them structural issues. They came in and repaired all of them in one day. A couple of them were difficult to get to due to stairs and piping, but they did a great job on all of them.

"Marc responded quickly to our call for an estimate, helped us pick out paint colors and provided a very fair estimate for his services. His work on the exterior and interior were excellent and the front door now provides good curb appeal for our house. He cleaned up all supplies and left the house in clean condition - I just had to vacuum up some dust in the bathroom from his sanding of the walls. I would not hesitate to use his services again in the future for either exterior or interior work"

Courteous and helpful in giving me tips on how to help the paint job last well. Answer my many questions professionally, accurately, and promptly. Would hire again for sure!"

"removed leaves from roof and checked gutters. They originally provided the service on Nov. 8, 2013 but I did not know they were providing the service on that date. I called to set up service date on Nov.12, 2013 and even though the service had been provided the crew came back on Nov. 15th to be sure the gutters were functioning properly. I will definitely use this service again."

"Overall it all went smoothly. My tenant vacated after washer leaked. When I entered condo I saw all the damage their 2 little dogs had done. They bit the baseboards and peed so laminate had lifted. I’ve had to replace all the flooring and baseboards in living and dining area. And little by little I am finding more things that aren’t working ie dishwasher recently and now disposal. I’ve had to pay only the service charge. Well worth it"

"They don't use the same contractor. You don't always get the best. It's cheaper for major repairs. They cover everything, parts, labor."

"CAME OUT TO REPAIR. WEEK LATER IT RAINED. A LITTLE WATER SEEPED THROUGH (MUCH LESS THAN BEFORE). CALLED THEM BACK, THEY CAME AND WENT OVER THE WORK AGAIN. MANY RAINS LATER, NOT A DROP OF WATER HAS APPEARED."

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.
