Dennis helped us procure the kitchen sink and faucet when it was obvious that I wasn't aware of local code requirements. He was present for all inspections required by city code.
I've always loved anything to do with cooking, so I have spent decades reading cookbooks, and magazines and books about kitchen design, and have cooked in kitchens that lacked counter space, or storage, or were generations old. I've never even hoped to have a kitchen as beautiful or as well designed as my new kitchen is. Never thought I would have quartz counters (marble stains, needs to be resealed regularly), soft close drawers and cabinet doors, corner turntables in the lower cabinets that move each shelf independently of the other. I am in love with my kitchen!
The same counter and cabinets were installed in the laundry/powder room with the same easy glide shelves. Dennis enlarged the \"closet\" for the washer and dryer as those appliances are larger than they were 24 years ago. He put good quality bifold doors up for me. The man who refinished our parquet flooring, the electrician, the man who cut and installed our Quartz counters and backsplashes, all were excellent workmen. The crew Dennis uses daily is comprised of men he has employed for years, and whom he trusts. Dennis was here every day, either doing work or making sure his crew knew what to do, and later that they had complied with his instructions. It wasn't unusual for the men to discuss things by phone with him.
Now our en suite bathrooms desperately need to be remodeled. We will hire Dennis again.
If you have lived in your home for decades and have every kitchen tool and appliance known to man, make sure you discuss how many cubic feet of storage you have and how much you really need. Plan on achieving the amount and placement of light you need, what local codes require with respect to counter height, space between the counter and upper cabinets, how much counter space you need. I've downsized my cookbooks, discovered that living in a home for decades actually requires that you use all canned goods even if they are tucked way back in a corner because emptying your old cupboards may result in some unpleasant surprises. My new kitchen storage is far more accessible than those old cupboards were. It took awhile to adjust to where things are in my new kitchen because kitchen design has come a long way. I asked for LED lights, easy glide shelves, and maintenance-free counters. I have my own \"clean, well lighted place.\" (Thank you Ernest Hemingway!)

I was impressed with the eco-friendly serving trays too! The dessert bars were pricy, so we cut each one into 4 pieces and served them on various Tea Trays...this way we knew a child would not grab a $2.00 lemon bar, take one bite and toss it out. Everything was fabulous and I did not need to stand in the kitchen preparing food or serving guests. I picked up the trays at their Livermore location and received excellent service. Very impressed!

I just spoke to a Sears employee on the phone who informed me that the most you are going to offer me for your mistake is $60 instead of the $226.60 that I spent on a part that was completely unnecessary to fix the problem with my dishwasher! On November 18. 2011 one of your technicians from Sears came to my home to fix an LG dishwasher that is 4 years old and was failing to heat the washing water and to dry the dishes. He said that he wasn't familiar with the LG product and would have a support person on the phone while he did his repairs to walk him through. I was listening in the other room when he told the person on the phone that it looked like the wires had melted because there was a black tar like substance over the wires. The person on the other end said that was something that they put over the wires to protect them. The support person on the other end of the phone said that the problem was what the technician called the "heat pump" (it is called the sump assembly on my receipt). The technician said that the part would have to be ordered it would cost $226.60 and when it came to the house they would send someone to install it. It came a week or so later and the next technician, Jeff, came on November 30, 2011 to install it. When he was installing it he mentioned that there had been a slight leak under the last pump and that he cleaned up a little bit of water and made sure to seal the new pump well. I said we hadn't had any problem with leaking under the dishwasher but thanked him for his diligence. He said that he ran the dishwasher and it was working fine so I took his word for it but the next time I ran the dishwasher nothing had changed - the water still wasn't getting hot and the dishes still were not drying. I call again and explained that the problem had not been fixed by replacing the "heat pump" and I needed another technician to come back to find out what was really wrong with the dishwasher. On December 7, 2011 the third technician came to the house, took the cover of the dishwasher door and went right to the problem - the wires had melted through and were not connected under that tar like substance that the first technician had mentioned!!! It took him only a few minutes to repair the wires and put the cover back on the door and everything worked as good as new! On December 8, 2011 I called Sears and said I would like to be reimbursed for the part that I purchased that was totally unnecessary. I have spoken to four representatives since lodging this complaint. The first person told me he would open a billing dispute and gave me a case number and said someone would contact within 48 hours. A week and a half later when I hadn't heard anything I called again and a very nice woman named Christen apologized and said that she couldn't find any record of that billing dispute number! I explained the situation again to her. She assured me she would open another billing dispute and said that she would email me the details. I never got an email. Two weeks later I called and was told by a woman named Linda that the dispute had gone to the service department on 12/21/11 and was still being discuses. On January 3, 2012 I got a message on my home phone saying that the dispute had been resolved and to call Dana back to let them know if I would like a check or the amount (no specific amount mentioned) put on my credit card. I called back the number that Dana left the next day and was told that I couldn't speak to Dana but the representative that answered the phone would be happy to help me. She said that she would need a minute to read though the notes and when she came back on the phone started to tell me something that was completely incorrect so for the fourth time I relayed the story of what happened with my dishwasher repair after which she said that she could send me a check for $60!!! Needless to say I am not happy with Sears service department nor with the billing dispute process! The latest development is that today January 4th I got a call back from Claudia, apparently a manager at Sears Home Services. For the 5th time I explained exactly what happened word for word as I explained above. When I was done she said to me "but our records show that we did install the pump". argggg!!! I said "didn't you hear anything I just said?! The pump was not the problem - I paid $226.60 for a pump that I did not need, that did not fix the problem on the advice of a person on the other end of the phone talking to the Sears technician - I would like my money back please!!! She said the claim was denied and she would send it back to the "processing team" and someone would contact me in the next 24-48 hours (that's what I was told the first time back on December 8th - I won't be holding my breath!). The Processing Team doesn'thave a phone number I can call nor can I have a persons name to contact. At this point I am extremely frustrated!!!"},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/ca/hayward/sears-outlet-stores--hayward-reviews-2556110.htm"},"position":9},{"@type":"ListItem","item":{"@type":"LocalBusiness","name":"Larry Wick","address":{"@type":"PostalAddress","addressRegion":"CA","addressCountry":"US"},"review":{"@type":"Review","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Pamela W."},"reviewBody":"I called Larry on a Friday, got a call back on Sat am and he came by Saturday late afternoon to review the varied tasks I had and myriad small repairs needed.

He came right on time, has an amazing truck with everything you could possibly need him to have and immediately set about doing all the furniture assembly (media console, two wooden chaise lounges) and repairs (door lock alignment, gate mechanism fix). These were accomplished swiftly and well. Plus he consulted with me on: new hardware for my front doors (he is acquiring for me through wholesaler); two replacement doors I am considering for downstairs; toilet mechanisms; a potential water heater fix that I can accomplish myself at no cost; and review of a deck that may be rotting in some places, including taking measurements and based on a sample materials on hand, gave me a rough estimate of the materials cost (not labor) it would run to replace the entire deck.

Grill Assembly questions, answered by experts
While it’s possible to repair minor grill issues like replacing a burner, more serious issues are clear indicators that you need to replace the entire unit. A few signs that your gas grill may be at the end of its life span and it’s time to consider replacing it include:
Rusty or cracked firebox
Weak, yellow, or uneven flames
Flaking, cracking grates
Leaking or cracked propane hoses
Failing igniter
Heavy buildup of grease
On average, a gas grill can last from five to 15 years. Most grill manufacturers offer an extended warranty, varying in coverage and terms. You can help extend the life of your grill by cleaning it inside and out to remove food, grease, and carbon deposits. Protect your gas grill from the elements with a grill cover to prevent it from rusting, lessening the frequency of repairs.
No. Placing a built-in grill against the house is discouraged due to safety concerns. Building codes and regulations often require a minimum distance (typically 10 feet or more) between a gas grill and any combustible structure, including a house. Placing a grill too close poses a fire hazard and risks damage to the siding or structure, potentially leading to carbon monoxide buildup. It's essential to consult local building codes, follow manufacturer guidelines, and prioritize safety by positioning the grill at a safe distance, ideally in a well-ventilated outdoor kitchen or designated grill area.
Gas grill installation costs around $540 on average, not including the price of the actual grill, and most homeowners pay between $120 and $1,400. This total will go toward laying down a new gas line, connecting it to your existing gas system, pressure testing the line, and connecting it to your grill. Your total project price will depend on the length of the gas line, whether or not the line needs to be installed underground, and the cost of the permits in your area.
Depending on the appliance and labor requirements, costs range from $150 to $500.
