"I called this Co to schedule an appointment, for my frig that wasnt making ice or refilling the water pitcher, and they could come out the next morning for a service call of 99.00 so I hired them. The technician was very knowledgeable no diagnosis was done, he found the issue, which was such a simple fix, never asked me if i wanted to go ahead with a repair, as there was no diagnostic done, to offer me the repair, he just went ahead and cleaned out the sensor for the Water pitcher, and it worked. Then he told me i owed him 295.00, i was a bit confused, he said there is a minimum labor charge of 295.00, i was never told that nor was I offered a repair for that amount of money, bait and switch... be aware of this Company, they don't tell you on the phone about the minimum labor fee!!!! They said i was offered a repair after the diagnosis, and I was never offered anything, If i had known that this minor leak would have cost 295.00 i never would have hired them. All the was done, nothing"

"Juan did a complete remodel of one of our baths. It was a half bath and now we added a shower. He was professional, on time, and kept us up to date on the progress. He communicated clearly and if there were any changes along the way he made sure we were aware of what needed to be done and why. He did an excellent job and turned a dull old bath into a sleek/modern luxury bath. The space was small so he helped me realize my vision of what I wanted the bathroom to be. It is now my favorite bathroom in the house. I highly recommend Juan! I will definitely be working with him in future home projects. Thank you!"

Fireplaces questions, answered by experts

For fireplaces that need ventilation, a pipe system can do the trick and send dangerous byproducts out of your house. The actual pipe installation will depend on the type of fireplace because pipe systems are unique to specific fireplace types. For example, the twin wall pipe for a balanced flue fireplace can only be used for that type of fireplace.

The simplest way to tell whether your chimney damper is open or closed is to put your hand near the fireplace opening. If you feel a breeze, the damper is open. But if no draft comes from the chimney, the damper is closed.

Ventless and vented gas fireplaces each have their pros and cons. However, if you want to install a fireplace in a room without a chimney, then a vented model might be better (as long as they’re legal in your area, of course). On the other hand, if you have allergies, asthma, or other respiratory sensitivities, then a vented fireplace might be better for your health.

The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) says that chimneys and their associated elements like fireplaces, vents, or stoves should be cleaned at least once a year before the start of seasonal use. According to the Chimney Safety Institute of America, a chimney should be cleaned when there is 1/8 inch of soot buildup. If there’s more than that, creosote—a flammable byproduct of burning wood—can form and increase the risk of a chimney fire.

Fireplaces can last between 10 and 30 years on average. This life span heavily depends on the quality of the construction, the type of fireplace (wood-burning versus gas versus electric), the materials used, and how well you’ve maintained it. Most homeowners get around 20 years out of their fireplace before major issues start popping up.
