"They showed up on time and did a great job. My yard looks great now. I appreciate them working with me so quickly to get it all done. Would definitely recommend them."
"I could not have asked for a better introduction to home remodeling and construction. Ive never had anything done to my house before and Felipe and his team were great. They moved a door for us, retiled our entire bathroom, changed all the hardware in the shower, created a new closet in our bedroom, re-did the plumbing under our bathroom vanity, and built a new wood fence in our front yard. Along the way, I made some additions and changes to some aspects of the job and Felipe rolled with the punches so gracefully. After each portion of work was completed, if I wanted something tweaked, he did it no questions asked. And at every beat of this job Felipe explained everything to me thoroughly, he foresaw issues with some of what I was asking for, created solutions for it, and just stayed in communication with every single development. He was flexible and respectful and open to my ideas. He provided me with critical information when a problem would arise, he always solved it, and the work was great. The fence he built in my front yard is absolutely beautiful and I love ,y new bathroom and closet. His team was respectful and friendly and this is so important when you have a crew of people in your home for a month. He managed every aspect of the job from waste management when our bathroom was out of commission, the painting, the electrical, the tiling and drywall. he even put our toilet back every day so we could use it at night while they were tiling the floor. They cleaned up every day. I mean I just could not have asked for a better experience. We will have him back to add more fencing within the next month and when we are ready to do our kitchen I will be using him them also. I highly recommend this team."
"He is very reasonable. He is hardworking. He is easily available when we need him. We used him for emergency service and he came in the same day. We started using him once a week."
"I called Juan on a Friday in a panic because I was having a luncheon on Saturday and I didnâ t realize how bad my yards looked as they hadnâ t been attended to since my husband died over a year ago . Juan and his crew hooked me up , and got it all done the next day . I had so many compliments on my yard . I will be using him again."
"We decided to remodel our outdated bathroom, and McCormick Home Builders was a fantastic choice. Khaled and the team delivered high-quality work within the timeline and our budget. Every detail, from the tile work to the lighting, was beautifully done. They communicated well throughout, keeping us informed at every step, and the end result was truly a spa-like bathroom we can enjoy daily. We’d love to work with them again!"
"Elijah is great: professional, good listener, and resourceful. He fixed a poor security camera solar panel mount installation done by a second rate handyman."
"Nick and his partner demolished a entire room of tile, helped me finish demolishing a bathroom and installed a new toilet. Also hauled all debris away. Completed all this work in one day for a fair price. Would absolutely work with them again in the future. He even climbed in a very small window to help me unlock my unit!"
Trees that provide a habitat to bats and an abundance of bugs—their main food source—will attract bats to your yard. Because the North American landscape has changed so much in recent years, bats have a harder time finding trees with cavities to shelter in. If your yard has a dead or dying tree with a lot of sun exposure, bats will likely be drawn to it because trees with those features are less common.
Armadillos are attracted to water, so a leaky irrigation system or an overwatered lawn can encourage them to move in. They especially like wet areas where they can burrow and loose soil where they can dig for grubs. They are also attracted to dense ground cover, where they can often find food sources.
Several tools exist that can help remove unwanted grass. The one you choose depends greatly on how much you need to remove and how hard you'd like to work. A sod or turf cutter is the fastest method while using a shovel is labor-intensive and much slower. You may also need a garden rake, tiller, and wheelbarrow.
Dawn dish soap is typically too abrasive to use on plants, even when diluted with water. The soap contains detergents that can strip away a plant's natural waxes and oils, which are there to protect the leaves.
Should you decide to make your own soap spray insecticide, it's important to choose a gentle soap that doesn't contain detergents or surfactants. Castile soap, such as Dr. Bronner’s, is a good pick.
No, definitely not. Pulling weeds by hand is the single most effective way to remove them because you're eliminating the entire plant—roots and all—so it won’t have a chance to grow or spread. Setting time aside a few times per week to pull weeds can keep them at bay. If the number of weeds gets overwhelming, then you can resort to other methods.
