How much is a dollar worth?- Tip from Express Handyman!

Out shopping and don’t have a tape measure? A dollar bill is 6.14” wide by 2.61” tall (but just think of it as 6” by 2.5”). This way you always have a reference in your wallet for a rough measurement. We wouldn’t recommend framing with this technique!

Testimonials

We had railings installed for our outside steps. We told them what we wanted and it was all provided for us. They even did the work while we were on vacation. We’ve relied on this company for years and knew we’d be pleased with the outcome. They didn’t disappoint. Kathy Brammeier- Johnston, IA

Remodeling Contractors was great to work with for our home office remodel. They scheduled and coordinated the work, ordered materials, and were on time and on budget. They worked with us on things we could do such as basic painting and staining woodwork before it was installed that helped save some money.
