"Amazing. I spoke to John (the owner) early this morning and he had a crew out the same day. The work was completed exactly as I requested. Would definitely use the service again. Thank you Junk and Trash Removal."
"Really nicely! The gutters in the rear of my home had gotten quite clogged up, and a good amount of weeds had started to root and grow. Mr. Soft Wash cleaned it up really quickly and professionally. Nice guy!"
Jerry removed about a 4' by 3' area of a prior stucco repair that was very, very obvious. He found some cracks in the block under the patch and taped them (he took the initiative to do this - I had no idea that they were there). He then re-stuccoed and retextured to match the existing stucco on the rest of the wall.
To me, stucco is a difficult medium - it's essentially a concrete patch on a vertical surface. It requires more than a contractor. It requires a contractor with an understanding of how to match and blend existing surfaces into the new patch. There's an element of artistry involved, and Jerry proved more than up to the task. While the patch had been quite evident before his work, you'd have to know it was there now to 'find' it. Which is exactly what I was looking for.
Bottom line: Jerry isn't the least expensive. But if spending a bit extra to get the job done right is something you're okay with, he's your guy. I'm very pleased with his work.
Playground Equipment questions, answered by experts
Material markup costs and labor expenses are the additional primary costs of hiring a playground installer over building your own set. Labor costs are typically less costly than some more specialized home improvement projects. DIY swing set construction is less expensive than professional installation but will take considerably more time and effort to perform.
Costs depend on equipment size, site preparation, and additional features like soft ground covering.
You can start by finding playground installers in your area that have amassed mostly positive reviews online. Next, search for the companies on the Better Business Bureau’s (BBB) website to see if any consumer complaints have been filed. Once you rule out companies with poor reviews and a history of complaints, contact the remaining options and ask the following questions to find the right installer for you:
Will you pull permits if required?
Do you offer a warranty?
How long do you expect the installation to take?
Do you have experience working with the specific playground material I want?
The average lifespan for a playset is around eight to ten years, but you can probably make it last to 15 years with good weather conditions and proper maintenance. If you’re purchasing a pre-made playset, some brands offer warranties for up to 25 years—long after your kiddos are grown.
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.
