"I contacted via their website on March 16, saying I had a large deck that needed at minimum to be resurfaced but possibly a more extensive rebuilt. I received an email reply on March 20th that they only build new decks and porches and asked if I wanted to schedule an appointment for a new deck. The reply stated "my first available appointment as of today for an estimate is the week of May 21st." I replied that I had already had two estimates from reputable deck companies since sending out inquiries on March 16, had a third stopping by the next day and would need a complete teardown and rebuild. I said waiting 10 weeks to get somebody out to my house was beyond unreasonable and suggested they post a notice on Angie's list noting a 10-week backlog."

KPS Contracting specializes in interior and exterior remodeling services: landscaping, lawn care, home renovations, fencing, decking, roofing, siding and much more. We pride ourselves in our customer care and quality service. Please call for a free estimate today!
"We had a fence installed around the total perimeter of our backyard. It included two double swing gates on each side of our house. One was an extra wide opening to allow for a boat or camper. The fence is not prebuilt 6'X8' sections attached to 4'X4' posts. Each picket is installed separately on 3 cross mounted 2'X4' and evenly spaced between the 4'X4' posts. Peter told me it is done that way down here in NC due to the possibilities of hurricanes and heavy winds. Therefore, it is a lot more work and more time consuming. Peter and his crew did an excellent job. D and Emil were courteous, polite and professional. It was a pleasure to have them here. They did an exceptional cleanup job also. The job was finished ahead of schedule and was quite reasonable in today's dollars. I would most definitely recommend KPS Contracting to anyone who wants to add value to their home. Great Job Peter, D and Emil!"

Installing a window seat can take anywhere from three to 20 hours, depending on the complexity of the project. A professional carpenter can complete a basic installation in as little as three hours if no modifications are needed. If they need to remove cabinets, shelves, or baseboards, it can extend the work to a full day. If you're tackling a DIY project, expect it to take a full day for a basic seat and several days for more advanced designs that involve extra structural adjustments.
A built-in window seat that measures four feet in width will seat two adults comfortably or let one person stretch out. Ideal dimensions are 17 to 20 inches in depth and 16 to 21 inches in height to ensure a balanced design and optimal comfort. Make sure your window seat isn't higher than the bottom of your window for a harmonious look in your space.
You might need a building permit to install your window seat. Even though it's an indoor modification, some municipalities require permits for any built-in seating that is added to residential properties. Check with your local building authorities and your professional carpenter to ensure you're in compliance and avoid any potential penalties.
