"Joshua has done a lot of work for us over the last year - from replacing blinds to fixing faucets, toilets and installing light fixtures, smoke alarms, shower fixtures, etc. His work is always excellent! He is very prompt, reliable, and does a thorough job. I was thrilled to find such a great handyman since we had to move and rent out our house. The only problem is that his schedule is very busy because he's so good!!

"I am so, so happy with Mario and his workers. I hired him to correct the mistakes of the first person I hired and ultimately had to fire because after a couple of rooms it was obvious he didn’t know what he was doing. I wish I had found Mario first and the project would have been a lot less cheaper and done much quicker! He offered me a great price- I think he felt bad for me lol. His guys were courteous and prompt and Mario’s communication with me throughout the process was superb. No big project is without hiccups but I have to say if you’re looking for someone to do flooring as well as stairs (which included ripping out the old treads) I can’t recommend anyone more highly than MG’s General Construction!"

"They came on the correct day and did the work. Once they arrived, they called me to say the cost would be an extra $50 because of the square footage. they were previously cleaned by another company for $100.00. They left several patches of wet leaves from the gutters on the lawn.

A trusted handyman working with finish carpentry, home repairs, and junk removal. We are owner operated and are glad to provide you with our home improvement services. We will treat your home with respect and our job isn’t done until we exceed 100 percent of your expectations.
The average cost of playground equipment installation is around $500, and most homeowners pay between $330 and $700, excluding the cost of the playground equipment itself. Your total project cost will depend on site preparation requirements, playset size, design complexity, number of accessories, and the swing set materials. Don’t forget to account for the cost of playground surfacing, which can cost between $15 to $160 per cubic yard or $225 per cubic yard for poured rubber.
It may be tempting to DIY the construction of a swing set to save money, but we don’t recommend it. Since children will use the swing set, the entire system must be solid and safe, meaning the cost savings aren’t worth potentially endangering them. Plus, most DIYers will have to build their swing sets out of wood, which won’t last as long as metal or vinyl and introduces the risk of splinters. Instead, hire a local playground equipment installer to ensure the swing set is built safely and efficiently, setting up your kids for fun for years to come.
Rubber mulch is widely considered the best material to place under a playset. This material option provides more cushioning than traditional wood mulch for added protection, remains cooler than sand and most other materials in direct sunlight, and it’s low maintenance. Rubber mulch is slightly more expensive than other common options at $120 per cubic yard on average, whereas pine bark mulch is $30 per cubic yard. But when it comes to your children’s safety, the investment is worthwhile. Consult your playground equipment installation company about material recommendations before starting this project.
Whether or not you need a permit to install a playground depends on where you live, as some cities require it and others don’t. You can contact your local building department to find the answer or ask your playground equipment installer if you need a permit. Reputable playground equipment companies will know the laws in your area and can help you apply for the permit and coordinate inspections. Building permits cost $250 to $2,000 for outdoor projects.
In most cases, your professional playground installer will put down a playground surface before assembling the fun-filled system. However, you should ask your installer about this service before booking an installment date. Most playground equipment installation companies offer service add-ons like leveling the area, laying down a surface, building a border to keep the surface material contained, and setting up the swing set.
