"Did terrible work and then threatened to put a lien on our home to collect the rest of the money without fixing the problems with the work. But the work looked so bad, the offer we got on the home specifically requested the flooring be fixed--and it was brand new!!! Broke a window. Trashed the home. Painted the ceilings with the wall color and the wall color with the ceiling. Installed the doors the wrong way. Put in the wrong trim and baseboards. Didn't properly texture the wall repairs. Put crappy sticker laminate down that was popping up in several places and wouldn't fix it even though there were bumps all over the place. Was a waste of $20K+ and a headache to deal with. Do not recommend. Have photos to demonstrate their work quality. Very shoddy. RUN."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

Yes, natural gas generators can work without electricity. Natural gas generators are a common type of backup or whole-house generator that operates when the electrical grid isn’t working. The trick is using a transfer switch (which usually needs to be installed with the generator) that safely switches the home electrical system from the power grid to generator power when needed.

These advanced generators use a key fob or a smartphone app to remotely start, which is ideal for getting power back on immediately without venturing outside. This feature is more common on whole home generators, but you may be able to find it on large portable generators, too.

It’s usually better to repair your generator if it isn’t working properly, as it will typically be much more affordable and should yield similar results. Generator repairs cost around $300 on average, while installing a new whole-house generator costs around $5,000 on average. The only exception is if you know your generator is reaching the end of its useful life, usually between 30 and 40 years. If you have an older generator, you could face multiple repairs in the coming years, which might mean that a full replacement will be more cost-effective over time.

While standby generators provide essential backup power, they can fail when you need them most due to lack of maintenance, fuel supply issues, dead batteries, electrical problems, or improper installation. To avoid costly failures, professional installation and regular maintenance are crucial. Licensed technicians ensure safety, uphold warranty requirements, comply with regulations, and provide expert servicing.

Whole-house generators need to be installed on level ground several feet away from walls and other objects. Because they tap into the electrical system directly, they usually need to be close to your home electrical panel for a transfer switch installation. It also helps with installation if they are near to a gas line or propane tank installation.
