"Ravan Moving did an excellent job managing our move. The crew showed up on time, they were well equipped to handle all of our furniture, garage items, and a small hot tub. They handled our belongings with care and were very efficient at loading and unloading our items. The crew placed and set up our beds and took all of the discarded tape and paper with them when they left. Everyone was polite and respectful to us. The fee they charged was very reasonable for the job. I highly recommend Ravan Moving."
"John was super responsive and quick to get his crew out to take away all of our yard debris. We had quite a bit of stuff. John allowed me to email him a photo for an estimate. His estimate was almost spot on! His crew suggested about $50 higher -which I expected since he only saw a couple of photos. The guys we’re here about an hour and offered to rake everything up as well. I would definitely use John’s services again. He even called afterward to check and see how everything went. He apologized for not being able to do the job himself."
"Sonya did beautiful work! She made the place sparkle. Truly a fantastic job done on short notice. Sonya was a pleasure to work with. It could have been a huge challenge to coordinate all this from afar (Maryland) but Sonya made it all go smoothly."
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.
There are many different types of basketball hoops available to choose from.
Portable hoops are fully moveable and generally do not require assistance with assembly.
Semi-portable in-ground hoops have an anchor cemented in the ground and a removable post.
In-ground hoops are fully built into the ground as one piece and cannot be relocated after placement.
Wall-mounted hoops do not have a post or pole and work well when space is limited.
Costs depend on equipment size, site preparation, and additional features like soft ground covering.
Rubber mulch is widely considered the best material to place under a playset. This material option provides more cushioning than traditional wood mulch for added protection, remains cooler than sand and most other materials in direct sunlight, and it’s low maintenance. Rubber mulch is slightly more expensive than other common options at $120 per cubic yard on average, whereas pine bark mulch is $30 per cubic yard. But when it comes to your children’s safety, the investment is worthwhile. Consult your playground equipment installation company about material recommendations before starting this project.
Whether building a playground or installing a pre-made one is more affordable depends on the materials of each. In most cases, it’s more affordable to build a wooden playground than it is to buy one and have it professionally installed, but it might be less expensive to invest in a pre-made plastic playground, even if you pay a professional to install it. Wooden playgrounds tend to last longer, but as children age, they will become less valuable. Overall, it may be most affordable to have a pro install a pre-made plastic playground.
For artificial turf that’s the most durable, look for heat-resistant products with thicker blades. Keep in mind that there’s a difference between artificial grass versus artificial turf, with turf consisting of a shorter look while artificial grass is longer and more closely resembles real grass.
