"Damien and his crew built a new basement stairway for us, replacing a 140 year old set of stairs. They were neat, quick and efficient. Damien did all the measurements and had the stairs pre cut and painted and ready to install. So we only were unable to use the stairway for the two days it took them to remove the old stairs and install the new ones. Very satisfied."

"Fantastic job. I hired the company for one job and they did multiple jobs in one day. They called it a â  punch list.â  We call it success. My husband was elated when he came home from work and saw his â  honey do listâ  was completed. They went up and beyond. Craftsmanship was exceptional. Very easy and pleasant to work with. What made my day while one was working in our upstairs he was whistling/singing while the other went to several stores to find parts for the different jobs. Cell service was down, the owner made a point to text to explain he would be running a little late. Would recommend them highly."

"I recently hired Coen Brothers Construction on a thorough bathroom renovation, and the outcome was outstanding. Their quality was excellent, and I am delighted with the final result. Their sub-contractors were also great and worked at the same high standards as the Coen Brothers. Although we faced some communication issues at the outset, we eventually worked through them, and it significantly improved throughout the project. They paid attention to detail; when my project manager saw me stripping the trim for reuse, they recommended buying new trim and a lumber yard to get it. And it makes a big difference having new trim with clean, sharp lines. Their tile work took longer than expected, but the miter cuts the trim cuts, and the finish is excellent. They were consistently punctual, respectful of my home, and very tidy - tidying up at the end of each day. While the project took longer than anticipated, the reasonable cost and the team's meticulous attention to detail compensated for it. Coen Brothers Construction also expertly handled all necessary permits and inspections, keeping me informed every step of the way. Overall, I am satisfied with their work and would hire them again for my next project."

"I was seeking a qualified contractor for a project at my residence. I contacted Angie’s List for recommendations and was promptly connected with Leo, owner of M&L Company. After our initial conversation, we scheduled a meeting for a project estimate. Although the original agreed-upon date was postponed by the contractor, we rescheduled and his team subsequently began work. During the course of the project, I observed that proper precautions were not taken to protect my property. Dirt was deposited in front of my home, and a tractor was used to transport soil from the front to the backyard, resulting in significant damage to my front lawn. While the backyard was levelled to my satisfaction, there were minor issues with the completed work. Leo and I agreed that he would return to address the damage to the front lawn. Instead of repairing the lawn as discussed, Leo advised me to purchase grass seed and water the affected area myself, suggesting that improvement would take several months. Despite following his instructions, there has been little improvement to the front lawn. On May 20, 2025, I contacted Leo again to request that he inspect the ongoing damage and propose a solution. He assured me he would visit the property, but he has not followed through or communicated further regarding this matter."

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.
