Comments (24)Tell me again what is specifically personal about "Chuck in a Truck". That is neither personal nor an unknown term in the contracting industry. It not meant to be derogatory in my estimation and is merely meant to refer to persons that are sole proprietors that have little to no overhead in comparison. If you take issue with Fridge, by all means, take it up with him/her. I would respectfully request that you deal with them by name and leave me out of the response. If you would like to discuss the cost of doing business in a more employee driven system and why those expenses may be higher, I would be happy to do so. Perhaps it will give you some more insight and a better understanding as to why and how things cost the way they do in a different type of organization. For the record, I have more than a few friends that are enormously successful and competent contractors as sole proprietors. I take no issue with that, but to make a comment with regards to "mark-up" that it is merely a company making some enormous profit on the consumer, it flatly false, uninformed, and somewhat irresponsible. You are quite right, it is and open forum and you are more than entitled to your opinion. I would only caution that if you are going to hold yourself out as a resource of information, that the information be somewhat enforceable and factually based is all. I would no more cast dispersions about sole proprietor contractors that paint them in a negative light than I would comment on any large group of persons that are as varied and different as the weather. Perhaps that would be advisable for everyone when it comes to levying negative commentary that they be based in fact rather than opinion....See MorePella Proline Black Exterior Window/ White Interior Window - Help!!!
Comments (34)do you have window coverings? And do you love them? What brand did you go with? House looks great. I read the link someone posted and brought up the black interior and decorating. I was thinking of just doing all black in the living areas and black out with white inside in the sleeping areas. Thanks for the quick response! :) Would love to see more pics of your house. Any idea what your exterior brand and color are?...See MoreBlack exterior white interior window world windows
Comments (12)We got one other bid that was much higher through a glass company that out sourced so we would be paying the contractor markup. They did not have a sample to see, but they were highly ranked and reviewed and had many photos. They just took all photos straight on so you couldn't see this. Unfortunately paint isn't a great option on vinyl. I'm not sure what is different about how they do it in the factory but in the field it is hard. Overall I think we're stuck unless we want to replace them all. I'm just telling everyone to avoid Window World- absolute worst contractor we dealt with on this project and we completely gutted the house so we dealt with a lot of different businesses....See MoreEuropean style interior door options made in U.S.?
Comments (29)Getting close to wrapping up the final quote. We're extremely impressed with the product options from Angelbau and Dorsis. Dusan has been outstanding to work with from Day 1. He's answered dozens of questions and provided detailed installation instructions. Our builder had a few specific concerns regarding the drywall-to-frame attachment methods, so Dusan hosted a video conference and addressed each item without hesitation or ambiguity. Having built a few homes, this level of professionalism is indeed an outlier....See More- 18 years ago
