"Tech was able to tell me what the error code meant but did not want me to order part until testing with volt meter. Diag appointment with volt meter did not cost extra. Tech gave me part numbers and it fixed the problem."
"We called justin at Hometown Restoration when my washing machine malfunctioned and leaked water through an entire cycle into the first floor of my home. Justin came out immediately and helped us identify what we needed to do to properly respond to the damage. I am so glad I called him. He was very thorough about making sure we had no risk of mold by cutting out the wet drywall and pulling up our flooring. He managed the insurance issues to make sure they paid properly and was very easy to work with. I definitely recommend his company."
"We received the phone number of this company from a friend that hired them and he was able to reduce his utilities bills by doing an efficiency audit that includes covering all the openings at the house (windows, HVAC, Doors etc.?.) and then with a machine, running the test and to see from where the house is losing most of the energy and to perform a repair that will prevent that in the future. Ezra and his team of workers came to perform the test and to see what need to be repaired or improved. The audit took close to 5 hours and then the machine that they used worked for additional 2 plus hours. After that was completed, we saw clearly that the problem was the windows and the HVAC. Ezra recommended us to perform a repair to both of them and then to run the test again. After the workers of them finished the repair, Ezra came once again and did the test. He was pleased with the results and so as we. During all the work, we saw how it was before and how it was after. We do recommend this company for that type of work! They are professional and honest people to hire and they carry all the relevant licenses as well."
"When you purchase this service you are asked to send pictures of the room, and a layout drawing with the dimensions in inches. I sent pictures from every angle in the room. My layout drawing was rough, but I made sure that the dimensions were correct. It is important to show doors, and width from door to wall, windows and spaces between window and wall, etc.
Explain how you invision the room and what you would like to keep in the room. You should let her know what you like and dislike as far as fabrics, colors, and style of furniture. I hate paisley, but failed to include this in the information that I sent to the designer. So there was some paisley in my concept board. I told her what I liked, but failed to tell her what I disliked and would not want to see in the room.
Once I sent pictures, dimensions, and room layout I received 2 suggested layouts for the room from Jill. I selected the layout that I preferred. You they receive a concept board for the room with her suggested furnishings and fabrics. To my surprise she also gives alternatives to what she suggests. Her suggestions are in various price ranges so that you can choose within your budget.
"We had a big kitchen remodel with layout changes, so we were a bit nervous at first. Ron made the process a lot easier than expected. He coordinated everything and made sure each step was done properly before moving on. The workmanship is solid, and the finishes look high-end. We?re really happy we chose Ocean Seven Builders!"
Mold, VOCs, radon, carbon monoxide, and particulate matter are typically measured.
No, not all popcorn ceilings have asbestos, but a vast majority do. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) banned its use in 1973, although it still may have been used up through the early ‘90s. But, in general, homes built or remodeled before the early ‘80s likely utilized materials with asbestos. That being said, a professional test is the only way to determine for sure.
Since the EPA partially banned asbestos in 1989, it is no longer used to manufacture new siding in the United States; production had largely ceased by the early 1980s. Many other countries, such as Canada, Iceland, and Denmark, also have bans on asbestos. However, asbestos siding is still present in many homes built before the late 1980s. The only definitive way to know if your siding contains asbestos is to have it professionally lab-tested.
It is not recommended to drill into asbestos siding because doing so can release hazardous asbestos fibers into the air. The safest way to handle asbestos-containing materials is to have a professional remove or encapsulate them.
No, you do not have to worry about new popcorn ceilings having asbestos. All residential building materials used since the mid-1980s stopped including asbestos, so new popcorn ceilings have no risk of asbestos. You can still create a textured drywall ceiling with a popcorn texture if you like, but new techniques have no risk of adding asbestos.
