      Thanks for the feedback! Always good to hear how we can improve. While the costs are accurate - there is a clip that shows a laminate floor install. Next time we’ll use actual footage of floors being installed on our sites for the whole video instead of 90% of it 👍🏼

      That's a great question. This video is meant to give you an idea (based on square footages) of how much a whole house renovation would cost in our area. In order to get down to the specifics and break out labor, material and sections of the project - it would require a full walkthrough, takeoff, and estimate. If you are located on Long Island and looking to do a renovation/new build we are happy to see if there's any way we can help!

      @myboyscontracting748 11 днів тому

      That's a great question! We're not certain that you can't buy small quantities at Home Depot or Lowes. Assuming you can't, here are some reasons. CertainTeed siding products are often marketed through specialty distributors and independent retailers rather than big-box stores. It could be a variety of reasons. Big box stores like products that fly off the shelves - this siding is more of a specialty item that is used by mainly by contractors. There could be partnership agreements in place with certain distributors. Could also have something to do with the manufacturers warranty. You can search on Certainteed's website where you can purchase this product.

      You are absolutely right! To purchase a board of drywall is typically about $15-$25 (depending on the size, thickness, etc). The prices given in the video are not just to purchase drywall. The price per board given in the video is to supply and install drywall, tape, spackle - pretty much everything to get you to primer/paint ready walls.

    He meant because most of the time you can’t run wires in soffit without taking it down so you have to install the lights after the soffit is in stalled lmao no one is cutting holes in soffit then moving the lights after its built. Yes you can move the lights slightly but the amount of wire hanging out is not going to determine where you put lights that should be designed already. Most soffit lighting is directly mounted to the soffit so no bracket needed

    In the U.K. if you put spray foam into your house no one will be able to take out a mortgage on it so if you want to sell to move house no buyer can get a mortgage until it has all been professionally removed at great cost. DO NOT DO IT!!!
