"It went great. Randy helped me figure out a design that would solve our odd ground level change and work in my budget. Brandon and his crew were very nice and built a beautiful deck and railing, and the stairs work great. I am very happy with this company."

"We were very happy with the work done by Ben and his crew. They were extremely hard-working and skilled, taking their time to do high quality work. We had a lot of rotten wood siding and trim that needed to be replaced before a complete exterior paint job, and they did an excellent job. They were professional and easy to work with. We have a few more projects around the house we need done soon, and we won't hesitate to call Ben to complete them."

"Refinish exterior side of 2 entry doors using my garage as shop space. New stain & multiple coats of varnish applied. They look like new again after multiple coats of varnish applied & properly cured. New weather stripping installed as needed & doors are secure and properly functioning. I provided light assist moving/installing doors and propane heater during cold weather. Unplanned cold snap added to drying time & heat expense."

"Everything went terrifically. Jerry and his partner James paid careful attention to detail, and they were both knowledgeable and skilled. Jerry even took me to buy the new door so that I wouldn't have to rent a truck to bring it home. They both went out of their way to make this project as easy and affordable for me as possible."

"This was a tricky project which required replacing deck footings without removing the deck or the gazebo on the deck. They were able to start right away and completed the project in 3 days. OUTSTANDING SERVICE!"

"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.

"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.
