"Ian showed up to my home early (not typically a strength for contractors) and was professional, competent, prepared, efficient and most importantly kind and patient with my maniacal chihuahua. Just kidding - kind of. Ian had great communication skills and taught me about hack saws (yes, they can be sharpened) and duct tape (it comes in double sided). As a woman who lives alone (except for the aforementioned Chihuahua and a tuxedo cat) Ian showed concern for my safety and taught me how to make sure my newly installed window A/C unit does not become a potential point of entry for nefarious individuals with burglary on the brain. He went above and beyond the call of duty and I wholeheartedly recommend Tyler Wood Svcs for any home improvement project. "

Wherever I am building a deck or fence, I’m proud to provide the customer old-fashioned values and quality work. Three main values that I’m proud to stand by are integrity, durability, & craftsmanship. We specialize in building custom decks and fences with a wide range of materials and styles.
"Nathaniel was amazing!! They took five days to do the project. First 2 days were tearing out the old fence and setting the posts. They kept us informed of progress throughout the project. Finished up on day 5 with building and installing the two gates. They were very professional and cleaned up everything from the yard. The new fence is absolutely amazing! They had very good pricing as well coming in much lower than the other quote I received. Great craftsmanship! We could not be happier."

"As the GC for my own full home renovation, I was looking for a turn-key company that I could outsource and trust to handle the exterior work for my house (new house wrap, siding, and window/door installation). I was really optimistic about this company because they were a Hardie-certified installer. I hired them to install about 30 top-of-the-line Andersen windows, several exterior doors, and install all new Hardie siding and trim. Unfortunately things went south on day 1 and continued to spiral out of control. In a nutshell, I had three different project managers assigned to me throughout the project, and neither of them came on site once the project started (until the very end, and the last project manager was awesome... kuddos to him!). The first crew that came on board were subcontractors, not Evergreen employees. When they started to install my windows, I knew immediately that they did not know how to properly flash a window sill (they had gaps in the Vycor flashing, didn't wrap the sill properly, etc. etc.). I called this to the PM's attention but nothing was done. The crew installed all windows in one day, not properly flashed. Crew was retrained and came back to "fix" them, but still didn't properly flash them. Meanwhile, they were taping the seams on our house wrap in the rain, when the house wrap was wet, so nothing stuck and had to be redone. Fortunately this crew was let go and I was told they were going to bring their "in-house" crew to finish. The next crew was awesome and they ended up removing all windows and reinstalling them. In total, each window was installed three times! As a result, some of the nail flanges and seals were broken. I called this out to the PM and owner of the company but did not get a response. From this point on, the crew that stayed on did a good job and was pleasant to work with (but I found out they were also subcontractors, not "in-house" employees as I was told up front). The delivery of a few windows and doors were delayed by about three months, which was my responsibility. I told all project managers about this upfront, including the first project manager before the project started. He said it was okay and that we could start the project and hold back a specific percentage amount of the project payment until they arrived so they could return to complete it at a later time. He and I agreed and the project moved forward. When the owner of the company, Jon Jordan, found out about the window/door delays, he was irate. His brother/GM and PM (who were both very polite and professional) called me and tried to negotiate a higher partial payment percentage rate which was absolutely frustrating to me. I explained to them that I had suffered for months through the project with extreme errors and redos, which caused mental angst, and that we had already agreed on a percentage on day one. Nonetheless, I was willing to increase the partial payment a little bit just to wrap things up. The owner followed up that evening by texting me in an aggressive, threatening tone. He said my only options were to allow them to finish the project immediately (which was impossible because we didn't have the remaining windows or doors), or pay them in full immediately and they would return after the doors/windows arrived a few months later. Otherwise he would sue me and put a lien on my home. He and I hadn't even spoken prior to that, and it was shocking to get such an aggressive text from a guy who never even heard my side of the story… I proposed to the owner that we cease the contract immediately, and that I would pay them for all work completed at that point. We agreed on how much work was remaining, and removed that amount from the contract price. We cancelled the contract, he had his remaining materials picked up and that was that. Again, I was hopeful for this company and wanted to have a great experience, but due to the poor project management experience, inexperienced subcontractors who caused damage and significant delays, and a sue-happy, angry owner who lacked professionalism and compassion, I could never re-consider hiring, let alone recommend, this company for any type of contracting work."

THERE IS ONLY ONE BEST!!! You've made the decision to improve your home by adding an exterior living space. You want that space to not only be beautiful and durable but to compliment your lifestyle at a price you can be thrilled about.

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.
