"Very satisfied with quality and efficiency. Besides cleaning the chimney they repaired the damaged inside hearth wall and outside deck at the top of the chimney. I gave them a 4.0 rating for value because this is the first time I have to make such repairs, but it seemed reasonable. They clearly explained what needs to be done and why."

"It was okay, it just took a lot of effort for them to come because they are very resistant. The job was done under warranty. Last year they come to fix the leak and it was good but recently there are leaks again but they keep on telling me they will come but they did not show up."

"I engaged Brian initially just to replace loose tile in the main part of our master bathroom. We knew there was probably a little subfloor damage that would result in a little more cost. But, as things turned out there was significant damage that meant replacing some structural elements and replacing the adjacent walk-in shower. This really went from a little repair work to a fairly major unplanned remodel job. Brian helped me find other trade people to do structural and plumbing work, shower door installation, and drywall work. And, his work tile work was excellent. A true professional in every way."

"Long story short, we finally got the courage to trust a company to remodel our master bathroom. Let's just say by having someone by our side, from helping us pick out tile flooring to new light fixtures. Aviv really made this a fun process and I will most definitely be hiring Goodfellas construction on future projects."

"Manuel did a great job. He's a very nice guy and a very hard worker. He's just a one-man operation, but he was able to do a job that another company wanted to charge me two men for. I would definitely consider hiring him again for any odd jobs I might have around the house that I'm just not handy enough for. (And believe me, there's a lot of those.)"

"Greg was a pleasure to work with. Our back splash went all the way up to the ceiling and around bay windows. It was a big job. He also helped me come up with a solution to frame my kitchen windows since the sill had already been cut from the slab and installed by a previous contractor. My cousin who is a retired contractor came over and said Greg’s work was impeccable. Highly recommend!"

"The project turned out beautifully. As it was a big project there were a couple of bumps along the way but the owner was incredibly responsive and treated us very fairly and professionally and anything about which we had a question or concern was promptly fixed to our satisfaction. We couldn't be happier and highly recommend Mr Pavers for any paver project.

Chimney Repair questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can fill rotten wood with expanding foam. You may prefer using an expanding foam treatment instead of wood filler since the latter can take a long time to dry. It may also provide an easier solution when you’re dealing with smaller gaps. If you use expanding foam, allow it to cure for about 24 hours before you sand and prime it.

You should consider the time needed to clean and prepare your bedroom set for transit. A few days before moving, vacuum, dust, and clean your furniture with a mild cleaning solution. Depending on the movers and the services you pick, you might need to pre-pack the mattress and box spring in boxes designed for beds and disassemble some furniture by removing doors and hardware. Finally, don’t forget to take plenty of pictures documenting the pre-move condition in case you need to file a claim.

The weight capacity depends on the construction method and the quality of the hardware.  Basic side-mount slides often support 50 pounds, but less expensive versions may be rated lower. Properly built drawers with dado joints and heavy-duty, full-extension slides can typically support between 75 and 100 lbs. Be sure to check the manufacturer’s weight rating for your specific drawer slides.

Regularly check and tighten bolts, avoid overloading, and inspect for wear.

Some movers will disassemble bed frames and include this in their price. Others will charge extra for this service, so always check before booking. Disassembling the furniture yourself is one way to lower the cost of moving a bed frame if you have the tools, the time, and the extra bodies to help you complete the task safely.
