  “The Other Contractor Guaranteed That I Had Dry Rot!”  A lot of things can be said when a dry rot contractor comes out to give a free estimate. The property owner is relying on the experience of the contractor and should expect to get quality answers to the questions that are asked. But how do you know if the answers are correct? Sometimes just having some common sense will lead the owner to question the answers given. Does the response make sense? There is nothing wrong with follow up questions to get a better description or explanation of the problem at hand. You can certainly contact another contractor for his advice too! That's why I got called on this property. There was some pest infestation inside one of the units and a contractor was called out. He insisted that there was dry ...

 Water Leak Will Damage Base Cabinets in Sacramento  Even a small leak in the drain or water supply line can damage the cabinets in your Sacramento kitchen and bathrooms. The materials used in the building of cabinetry will not tolerate water for long. The materials will usually swell and become disfigured, this will soften the product structurally and will likely sag.  Is there a solution?  It can be repaired but it is time consuming and not always “as good as new”. Of course prevention is always best. Regularly checking areas of potential water leaks is always a good habit, catching problems in the early stages will keep damages to a minimum.Need help with water damaged cabinets in Sacramento? Tromler Construction916.765.5366

 Can We Use The Existing Curb As A Foundation For My Shed?  It would be great to use an existing curb for a foundation for a new shed but it is not likely to be suggested. There are many reasons why the existing curb is not a good idea for the foundation.    It is not deep enough? There is no rebar in it. It may not be level. There are no bolts in the curb. The curb may not match your needs in the shed.  Can I use the existing curb for a foundation for my shed? Probably not a good idea.  Tromler Construction - General Contractor916.765.5366 Sacramento County, El Dorado County, Placer County

I Didn't Know The Pipes Were Buried In The Concrete   It wasn't a surprise, I expected to find plumbing, electrical, and communication lines in the original trench. We had a chance to discover these in an earlier project but what we found today was a surprise. The pipes were buried in the concrete, that was not expected.

Looking At Changing Some Cabinets   There are many apartment communities in the Sacramento Region that have been looking to update their units. Installing new kitchen cabinets, counters, and fixtures can all be done in a single day if planned correctly.  Wouldn't you like an updated kitchen in a day?

 Exterior Door Is Warped A lot can be said about the value of hiring an experienced local contractor in Sacramento. Being able to trust that the right thing is being done and the repair or replacement of that exterior door is being done right means a lot to a homeowner. Choosing someone lesser qualified may lead to problems down the road.Looking at this photo from above, we can see several problems with this door repair that was made a few months ago. The door became warped rather quickly and from a normal view the problem was not clear. We can see from this vantage point that an interior door was used outside, it is a hollow core door.Of course, a hollow core door isn't supposed to look like this even when used inside. The door was grossly trimmed to fit the opening, cutting more off t...
