Hi! Welcome to AskMyContracter.com !!

Thanks for visiting! My name is Lane, and I buy, fix, and sell houses. My contractor and I were thinking how we could help out with people in a pinch, and maybe wanting to fix up their house or investment property on their own. This web page is designed to give information and opinions on fixing up, repairing, tearing down, or any questions you can think or related to home repairs and building. Answers will be from my own experience fixing up houses, but mainly from my contractor, Shaun. He has worked with me in my company for 3 years now, and has been a licensed contractor for over 12 years. I find him extremely knowledgeable, competent, very patient (required when dealing with me), professional, and a person given to doing things right. Not only doing it right, but how it should be done to the best of his ability. He does not cut corners where some contractors do. I will post some comments and pictures regarding the houses we have worked on, what was needed to be done to them, and the final product. I am uploading my favorite house that we had worked on in the past, I will go into what we did on it later, but you can see the before and after on this house, it was a fun one!

So, ask away, we will be happy to help. Remember, this is advise and knowledge from us both, it is always wise to hire a licensed contractor if required by law. Always check on permits needed for any repairs done to your house. There is no harm in asking for help, so please seek professional advice and experience if you are not comfortable doing it yourself. Trust me, I asked plenty of times for help. I am planning on giving information regarding different terminology that may be confusing or even unknown related to house repairs from roof to foundation. I would also like to incorporate some advice on what to look out for when hiring a contractor etc. So, send us your questions, we are ready to help you out!
