"I can't say enough good things about Brian, who took care of this work for me. He returned my call promptly, listened carefully to what I needed, and was able to go out to my house within a few days to look at the space available for the two needed light fixtures. He then gave me excellent advice on the type of fixtures that would fit, and the exact sizees I needed to order, as well as what locations would work best for connecting them to the existing wiring. Using his advice, I was able to order the fixtures, which he then came out again to install. He obviously has good skills, but he was also prompt, efficient, honest, and very professional. I will not hesitate to contact him again when I need any further work done -- thanks Brian!"
"Easy process from quote to work complete. The crew worked on a few small projects -- fixed a damaged wall, repaired flooring, and installed a new toilet."
"Prompt, courteous, excellent work and fairly priced. Nixon installed an interior barn door that needed to be modified. Excellent quality work and fair pricing. I will use Nixon again and also recommend him to my sister and mother."
"The crew showed up on time and finished in a day, They were very polite and professional. They even blew the leaves out of my garage when they finished. Paul was the head installer and he was very cooperative and worked with my disabled husband so that the safety bars and niches were in the right place for him. The unit looks beautiful and my husband really appreciates how much it makes his life easier. A great job!!!"
"I am very satisfied. He answered the call about a minute after I put in the request. He arrived exactly at the time he promised to provide estimates. He provided material prices and didn't change anything. He showed up right on time, installed and changed the doors, and did an excellent job. He was very professional and cleaned everything up afterward."
"Rafael was great - he fixed our front door knob and lock, replaced another door handle, and our towel bar. He worked us into his busy schedule and came by on a day that was best for me. Rafael picked up parts he needed at Home Depot after assessing what we needed, and efficiently completed all three jobs."
"Elvin is a real craftsman. He installed bookshelves in several rooms and he will do a kitchen tiling project for me later this week. He is very easy to work with and is generally responsive via text. (If he says heâ ll be there at 9:00am, thatâ s when heâ ll show up. ) Iâ ve given him access to my home when Iâ m not there and heâ s entirely trustworthy. His fees are very reasonable, in my opinion. I will definitely be using Elvin for other projects as they come up."
"The demolition of the above the ground pool & remodel of the deck with composite deck material , just came out beautiful with his pro design ideas. Love my new railings with the white posts, black spindles & lighted caps. He has a dedicated hard working crew & does a hands on approach to every aspect of the project. Loved Eric’s work ethics; giving you an updated cost, labor & materials invoice all along the way. I am getting a list together for future upcoming repair jobs, I need done. Another bonus for my pick of him was he & his crew are all friendly, respectable,nice family caring people. Everybody that has seen it wants his name. Thank-You, EJV Solutions (Eric). Barbara"
Grab Bar Installation questions, answered by experts
For many, burglar bars detract from the look of a home. Opt for a custom design made from wrought iron to make windows with burglar bars look attractive and balance security with curb appeal. Add foliage such as climbing ivy or planter boxes with flowers. Add colorful wooden shutters or paint the bars in vibrant colors.
There are ample home security options available today outside of just window bars. Depending on your location, home’s layout, and needs, one or more types of home security systems may be necessary. You could consider doorbell cameras, motion-sensor flood lights, or window and door sensors. And in some cases, you may qualify for homeowners insurance discounts when you install one or more.
To install window security bars, you have to mount the bars securely to opposite sides of the window frame. A home has structural framing directly behind window frames, so the screws you use to mount burglar bars need to be long enough to reach that framing. With bars installed between these secure anchors, you'll have a barrier that deters intruders.
Digital door locks are just one part of a whole-house security system. You can also install indoor and outdoor security cameras, door and window sensors, motion detectors, smart lighting, and smoke, fire, and CO detectors.
Remember, every home layout is different, and landscaping and custom designs can impact which security system parts offer the best protection from crime. Speak with a professional to help you decide which combination works best for your home’s security.
Strike plates and security plates are the same thing, but there are strike plates that offer more security than others. For the highest security, look for plates made of heavy-duty steel, reinforced strike plates thicker than regular ones, and extended strike plates. It’s much harder to break into a door with these strike plates because they hold up better to force from attempted entry.
