". I contacted the company and spoke with the owner whose name was Brian. We set up a time for him to come out and meet and look over the project. He came out and looked over the project and told me the different things that he can do for this project which was painting all of my trim in the front of the house and around the fireplace outside and replacing any rotten wood that needed replacing. After discussing all of that, I waited for a bid. Weeks later I got a bid email to me. Then I began to call him to ask when he would be starting the job as I agreed on part of the bid not the whole amount and we agreed on a price for the job that I thought was going to be a full painting of all the trim that needed and all the wood trim that need to replacing or fixing. I didn't hear from him for weeks. He did not return my calls. Or my text messages. When he finally did he had a guy come out to start the job. After he had told me it would take a couple weeks for the job to be complete weeks into the job. It wasn't even 1/2 way done. The guy who only came here a couple times a week did not have a contracting license or carpentry license. I was told and that he was newly hired but did have some experience. We needed two pillars in front of the house, the trim around the bottom of the pillars replaced because the wood was wet. Once they remove the old trim they could not do the work for 2 weeks until the wood dried. I waited for them to get this job done and once they did it it had to be redone on one of the pillars because the cut was off and there was gaps and cracks in the miter 45° angle cut. It looked horrible. They tried to fill it in with **** but that only separated because of the weather. They did the same to the other pillar and once the snow recently melted there's cracks and gaps. They used a much brighter paint and didn't match it exactly to the paint of the trim of the house. They did not paint all of the trim or scrape prime and paint two coats of paint on all the trim like I believe that they were going to do from the bid given. They left three quarters of gallon of paint for us to finish the trim and I agreed that we would finish it because the job that they'd already done was not done to my satisfaction. Two parts of the house that they did fix that was extra money from the original bid. They did a good job on and that was trim around the side door of the garage and then the left bottom trim of the garage. And the paint trim around the fireplace. The rest of it looks horrible. They used wood filler which we discussed that they could use but it didn't dry in time and they painted over it and it actually ran the paint and the wood filler and as well as some of the paint that they did in the cold temperatures. They said that the job was finished. Which it is not. I recently got an invoice sent for a balance of $1511.80. When the job is not complete and it's not done to our satisfaction and it's not done professionally and it's not done by a professional carpenter/ contractor. I'm very disappointed and slightly aggravated at the lack of professionalism and integrity of this company. Numerous excuses were made. Why the job was not done on time. And done correctly. One reason an excuse was that two men quit in the company. Another excuse was two men were sick. Another excuse was they had too many jobs to get to our job. Our job was not a priority. Another excuse was the miter saw malfunctioned on one day. One excuse was the weather was not conducive to the job being done on certain days. And when we did have adequate weather to complete this job that was stated it would take 2 weeks to do. They said they don't work weekends. I feel that I should not have to pay them another dollar for this job that is not done to my satisfaction. It is not done correctly. And the job is not complete."

Locally owned company, with owners that have over 30 years of experience in the industry. Specializes in doors, windows, siding, and roofing. Products sold by Markin Co are environmentally friendly and innovative.
"Our sliding door was ordered and installed on time with appropriate correspondence. The installers were nice but attempted to leave the job without ensuring that the door was squared and closed completely. When I pointed this out to them in the driveway, they came back and addressed the issue. Later in the evening I noticed that an weather seal inside the door was clearly damaged (visible by rips and tears in a black seal showing white insulation beneath) in a way not possible by use. I called the company on numerous occasions, sent numerous emails with photos of the issue starting on the day of installation and now, four months later, I have only received follow-up calls from the company when they're canceling an appointment to repair the issue and have never received a follow-up call on how they will address the issue. The door and installation was paid in cash. I would seriously reconsider using Markin for any large job as this was just one door and I've been waiting four months now."

Pre-made bars cost $1,200 to $6,500, while custom bars range from $2,000 to $22,500, depending on features. For basic needs, pre-fabricated options are more economical and offer quicker installation. Custom bars cost more but provide exact specifications and potentially higher quality. The simplest and most affordable options are freestanding bar cabinets and bar carts.
A good basement bar size depends on your available space and entertaining needs. Most residential bars range from six to 12 feet in length. Standard bar height is 42 inches, while counter-height bars (36 inches) are more family-friendly. Allow 24 to 30 inches of width per person for comfortable seating and at least 36 to 42 inches of clearance behind the bar for movement. For entertaining, an eight to 10-foot bar comfortably seats three to four people.
Permit requirements vary by location, but generally include building permits for structural changes, plumbing permits for wet bars, and electrical permits for new circuits or significant wiring work. Some municipalities also require inspections during and after construction. Check with your local building department before starting your project, as skipping required permits can lead to complications when selling your home and may void insurance coverage if issues arise later.
