  Mike came out and measured for new gutters and downspouts as well as some new windows on my second level. He was professional and very friendly. I received my quote shortly after he came out to my house. The bid was right on with what I expected. He explained that my house may have had lead paint and that there is an EPA sanctioned installation process that helps to keep my children and pregnant wife free from lead exposure. He did a quick test and found that lead was present. I really appreciated the fact that he tested to make sure. The windows were installed perfectly. When the gutters were installed, it turned out that the fascia board under the old gutters was not painted. The installer stopped and pointed out to me that the board should be painted. Instead of continuing the job, he asked me if I knew someone who could paint them and also offered a name of someone who could take care of painting. Once the paint was applied and dried, the installer came back out and finished the job. It seems to me that it is rare for contractors to complement other contractors work. I had other projects going on at the same time and several of the workers commented on what a nice job Midwest had done. I will be having them come back to do more windows in the futureshow more

  It was a great experience. We contacted many contractors for estimates. Ace It impressed us from the beginning because they were very responsive to our initial contact. Dave (the owner) came out within a few days to make measurements and give an estimate. He was very willing to talk about the project in detail and answer any questions I had. When his quote was one of the lowest we got, it was an easy choice. Once the work started, a few weeks later, we were not disappointed. Dave handled everything permit-related with no problems. His crew showed up on time and worked a full day. They were very pleasant and courteous. At the end of every work day, they cleaned up before heading out. Once the job was finished, Dave came by again a few days later to look it over. We had noticed a few minor items that needed to be fixed (e.g., a ripped screen), so I gave him my items, and he added several more to the list that he wanted his crew to come back and improve. We have looked around the house for any stray lead paint on the ground, since that was the reason for getting the work done in the first place, and have found little to none. Everything about the job was handled very professionally, and we would definitely hire Ace It againshow more

  Would highly recommend for lead testing. They tested all painted surfaces inside and out of the house for lead and also performed dust wipe testing, provided a very extensive report of the results, and were very responsive to questions afterwards.

  Job went very well. Lead abatement preparation and removal of baseboard and wallpaper took one day; preparation of rooms for painting, and priming of same, took several days. Work in both phases was done thoroughly, meticulously, and cheerfully. The painter Robert hired was absolutely first rate, highly skilled and knowledgeable. We (homeowners) learned a good deal from explanations given and answers to questions about procedures, materials, and issues to be dealt with in both phases of this project, which will enable us to proceed better with other projects on our list. We greatly appreciate the comprehensive knowledge and experience of Heights Enterprise owner Robert Pullan, especially his expertise with houses of our vintage in Shaker Heights, as well as his knowledge and experience with Shaker Heights' approvals process. We have already discussed additional projects with him and are moving forward with them. We strongly recommend Heights Enterprises to anyone concerned to have quality work done in a timely fashion at a fair priceshow more

  It was surprisingly difficult to find a referral for a lead inspector for this purpose. I was shocked that our realtor had never had a buyer request a lead based paint inspection as a contingency given that the majority of houses in this area were built well before 1978 (Shaker Heights). I'm a pediatrician and take lead based paint exposure very seriously and have 2 young children. I found CTG by searching the internet and after calling other companies that couldn't provide the full services I wanted, which included the XRF technology. Dave Meyer was extremely helpful when I first spoke to him on the phone to help me figure out the kind of inspection I wanted. We had a visual inspection, the XRF to detect presence of lead based paint on every surface, and dust/soil samples to look for lead hazards. The XRF was $500 and the samples were $100, which was less expensive than the only other person I had called that had access to an XRF (he had quoted 700-800 over the phone). Dave Brenner was our inspector and he was amazing! He took the job very seriously as he knew it was for child safety and was extremely thorough. I would definitely recommend them to someone purchasing a house--especially if you are considering doing renovations--that was built prior to 1978 (and I did already recommend them to a friend). Lead exposure is no joke and it doesn't seem like most people in this area take it seriously enough. Where I lived before in St. Louis you could have a free inspection done by the city if you were pregnant or had a child under the age of 6 but here you can only get that if there is a child with an elevated lead level, at which point the damage has already been donshow more

  Outside: Quality of the final craftsmanship, in particular vinyl siding very good. Appearance of outside gets an A from me. Workmen acted professional and polite, no cursing or loud music. Inside took them two tries. Take 1: Grade D. Take 2: Grade A-. First time the inside molding was both painted the wrong color (bright white vs cream) and sheen (glossy vs. semigloss) was wrong. It clashed badly with untouched molding and was sloppy. The entire inside work had to be repainted with the correct color and sheen. To his credit, Chris brought in his A team to do the repaint, clean things up, and it was done within a week and looked good. However, it was an inconvenience. We had left town for the initial work, and having the contractors underfoot in our house the following week was an unexpected and unpleasant surprise. All I've talked about until now is appearance of the work. More seriously, we hired this company because they were on a list of companies licensed for lead paint control. The reason for the work was because my baby had an elevated lead blood level, the house was covered with lead paint inside and out, and we had a county order (and wanted) to fix the problem. On some research, I found out the amount of lead needed to poison a child could fit on the tip of a pin and barely be visible there. The paint on the outside of my house was 50% lead and on the inside 5%. The contractors who perform the work are all supposed to be trained in lead abatement and follow extremely stringent rules when performing the work. We paid a premium for this. It was apparent to me that several of the contractors performing the work either had not had the training or ignored it. Perhaps equally problematic, many of them did not seem to have a contextual understanding of the lead paint issue, that there is good reason the regulations are strict and they are supposed to keep all the lead paint contained. Some specific problems that occurred. For the exterior, when removing 50% lead painted wood from the front of my house, that wood was then thrown into my yard, no plastic underneath, where large paint chips fell into the grass. Removal of 50% lead painted garage window, the window was thrown in my back yard with no plastic underneath. Removal of 50% lead painted front porch, paint chips littered the area afterwards. One of the contractors went around with a vacuum in my yard afterwards, but only got some of the chips. When all the work was "done" I found large chunks in the front, back and side; and spent days vacuuming up paint chips and pressure washing. I still find lead paint chips near bushes along the side of the house. Inside, the child's room had chemically stripped lead paint pushed into door jambs & easily could be plucked out by child's fingers; flaking paint under window ignored. Inadequate chemical stripping of china cabinet. At the end of the job I wondered if Mike had communicated to his brother Chris the whole point of the renovations, lead controshow more

  A lesson in life. Requested this company provide an estimate for a lead abatement project. Met me at home only to say they would not provide the estimate unless I paid them $800.00 up front. Already having a rough time finding companies for this project, I agreed out of desperation even though I knew this $800.00 estimate cost was a giant red flag. John LaRussa, I believe is the owner of this company, provided the estimate for windows and siding and some other small repairs. Approximately $34,000 for everything. Sounded like a fair price but when we went to go look at the windows prior to purchase, we were looking for a better product. We decided to get the windows from another company and asked that his company just do the siding. We went back and forth with ironing out the details but he started coming up with excuses on why he had to do the windows and the siding for it to be legal with the Ohio Department of Health. I contacted ODH and they said that was not true. It became a game of back and forth from that point on. I decided to get another estimate from another lead abatement contractor (TNT construction) who came out to my house provided a lead abatement estimate (FREE OF CHARGE) and it was cheaper than what Solid Ground Construction quoted me. I called John LaRussa, to tell him we were going a different direction and asked if there was any way we could get refunded ANY of the estimate cost. He simply said "No". I felt swindled after this entire experience. I would highly recommend you look elsewhere if you are looking for a company to provide any construction related serviceshow more
