My name is Josh, owner of Joshua's Painting Service. I have been painting for the majority of my life, with my dad as a kid until now. I'm blessed to be able to say I truly love what I do. I enjoy being a painting contractor. Whether you are an excited homeowner wanting to make their home new again, a realtor looking to make a client happier or a property manager sprucing up an old building. No matter the job, big or small, I am there every step of the way with my employees throughout the process. Whether I am giving free estimates, suggestions on colors, doing the drywall and stucco repairs or replacing dry rotted boards I AM there. Every day, every step of the way. I take great pride in all that I do but especially in my prep work. Without good prep work the finished product won't hold up. But of course my favorite part has to be the finished product, seeing a home or business transform into somebody's dream is always the best! My promise to you, my prospective customer, is to always be there to answer my phone, be on time, and do exactly what I said I would do for the price I said I would do it for. I know if I do these few things I will always be in business, always be busy and always have satisfied customers.

"It was a great experience all around. Josh is that rare combination of a light-hearted fun personality and a seriously no-nonsense "get'er done" attitude that carried over into his whole crew. They arrived on time with a mission-oriented attitude and just dug into their work right away with the precision and competence of a group who have become a well-oiled machine over what seemed to be years. Everything they did was beyond my level of satisfaction. I would recommend them in a heartbeat to anyone who wanted a superlative painting result with good people/good humor and a commitment to excellence. I would recommend them without hesitation to anyone who wanted a great result at a very reasonable price."

A-1 Chimney Inc. was established in Sacramento in 1998 as a family owned & operated business performing Fireplace and Chimney Repairs, Cleaning & Inspections. We quickly grew our services for our clients to include installing Fireplace Inserts/Stoves, Fireplace Glass Door replacement, Dryer Vent Cleaning, Window Screen Replacement/Repair and Gutter Guards. Since our expansion, we have operated as A-1 Professional Home Services by A-1 Chimney Inc. which is our parent company. We are California Licensed Contractors Bonded & Insured under our parent company A-1 Chimney Inc.

"Had this company come out just to clean the fireplace and our dryer vent. The technician that worked on it clearly didn’t know what he was doing and the tech that was supervising him was outside in the car waiting. When he cleaned my dryer vent he made a mess and scratched up my brand new washer and dryer. He also stepped on the plug breaking it and almost causing a fire with my newborn baby and wife in the house because he said nothing. I came into the laundry room after he packed up and was about to pull away. I ran outside to tell him it was a mess and my dryer is dented and scratched as well as my washer. They are brand new just bought them and if they were delivered with a scratch would have been replaced by Home Depot. I had to call over and over in order to get someone to acknowledge the fact that this happened, continually being questioned are you sure the washer and dryer aren’t ten years old? I literally bought them a few months back and told them I had receipts to prove it. Then they tried to tell me their tech didn’t step on my plug ripping it out of the wall. I told them we had zero issues before they came out. My wife smelt the burning from the front of the house and stopped it or we would have had a fire confirmed by the electrician. The electrician told me it was definitely because of their tech and then I let the owner Martin know. He still tried to deny it and said he called them and they said it was our plugs fault it wears overtime. I then gave him the number of the electrician that came out and told him he was wrong again. Just very upsetting that someone puts your family in danger and continues to try and say it’s your issue. The electrician said because the tech stepped on it and didn’t say anything ripping it out of the wall chords came disconnected and we’re touching causing it to burn. Still trying to get someone out to fix the dents. He has paid me $300 for scratches on washer and got the electrician out after over a week of me bugging them but still waiting on someone to try to pull dents out of my washer. They said they will let me know when they have someone available. Very unprofessional and I’ve been communicating with owner the whole time. If you want to have someone put your family at risk and damage your proper Definitely go with these guys."

"Richard at Renaissance Stoneworks came recommended from another mason who vouched for his work. It was such a nice experience working with Richard. Heâ s quiet and confident, thorough and careful. He truly cares about the work heâ s doing. I got the feeling it mattered as much to him as it did to me. He repaired the floor of my 16-year-old wood pizza oven . The original floor had gotten cracked from so many years of heating and contracting, Richard Made the repairs and gave good advice to ensure the longevity of the new floor. I would recommend renaissance stonework for any fireplace masonry."

Chimney Inspection questions, answered by experts

There are a few different types of flues out there, including throat dampers and top-mounted dampers. A throat damper will look like a piece of metal inside the chimney that is either opened or closed, while a top-mounted damper will simply make it so that you can see the daylight streaming in through your chimney from inside if it’s open.

If you want to buy a home that has knob and tube wiring, you should get an inspection first. An electrical inspector can take a thorough look at the wiring and make sure that it's completely safe for your home and has no potential to cause fires or disrupt the overall wiring in your home. Never buy a house with knob and tube wiring without first getting an inspection by a certified and vetted electrician.

Several government-backed lending programs can help first-time home buyers purchase a home with little money down. FHA, USDA, and VA loans are options for qualifying borrowers, though many conventional mortgage lenders will lower down payment rates to as low as 3 percent.

Insurance companies will often take pictures of your house to confirm property details before issuing a policy or after receiving a claim. The insurance company may keep these photos on hand to compare to later pictures if you make a claim. It’s common for an insurance company to send someone to photograph the exterior of your home and your property without notifying you in advance. However, they’ll need to let you know ahead of time if they need to take interior pictures.

Yes, most services include safety inspections as part of the repair process. Confirm with your contractor.
