Angi Approved businesses meet our standards for certification which include: <ul><li>The owner, principal, or relevant manager passed a criminal background check</li><li>Required to have applicable state and local licenses</li><li>Maintain an average star rating of 3.0 or better on our network, if they have at least one review</li><li>Paying to advertise their services</li><li>Meeting any other eligibility criteria required by Angi</li></ul> Keep in mind licensing is different from certifications.

The service in 2009 went well when they fixed the errors from the previous work done in 2008. We had a condensate pump installed and the work for them coming back cost us $150.00 which was for parts only. I am rating Carls Service for 2009 and not the subcontractor we had in 2008.

Started out all right. Seemed eager and competent at start of projects, but subcontractors for plumbing, carpentry, etc. came and went as they didn't work out for the general contractor. Projects ended up taking many months and numerous projects had to be corrected or redone. Toward end...
