"He removed and installed my siding and trim, did and excellent job found some areas of insulation that needed fixed. Went above and beyond helping out my neighbor with a fence gate and did not charge labor! Will absolutely recommend"
"John did an amazing job removing an old aluminum frame shower door and installing a new beautiful frameless glass door. Several contractors had said the job was almost impossible and that it would involve tearing out the shower walls. Well, i took a chance on John, who came to look at it and spent a lot of time determining what was needed. He removed the old frame and door with no damage at all to existing shower walls. We chose a door and John ordered it, picked it up and brought it to my condo to install. It was a difficult job but John figured everything out and the new door fits perfectly and adds a modern look to my bathroom. He had to find new screws to work with the shower walls and spent a lot of time making sure everything was perfect. I will be hiring John again to now add tiles inside the shower because I trust him to treat me right pricewise and do a fantastic professional job. I would hire John for any type work. I will be showing off my new door to my neighbors and recommending John for any work. John truly cares about the quality of his work and always wants to make sure the customer is happy. I am a very happy and satisfied customer."
"Andrew was great! On time and organized. I hired him to do a few things around the house( hang a tv, change out some electrical outlets for new ones, change a kitchen faucet). We like him so much that we kept giving him more and more. He ended up working everyday for 3 weeks in and around our home. He was able to successfully complete every task. One more highlight was when we asked him about a water leak in our yard, he informed us that he was not able to fix the problem but he spent that evening finding another professional that would be able to do it! We never asked him to do that- he spent his own time and was able to bring a plumber that fixed the cracked pipe- all under Andrews supervision. How thoughtful. We found our handyman for years to come!"
"Showed up on time, and worked through a few minor issues finding the right size wood to replace a rotted piece under door threshold. I had no complaints."

According to the National Fire Prevention Association (NFPA), the leading cause of house fires is cooking accidents, followed by fires started by heating equipment. Electrical issues are the third most common cause of house fires. The best way to keep your home protected is to use caution when cooking and never leave a stove or oven unattended while in use. You can also keep up with chimney cleaning and avoid using space heaters to reduce the risk.
Yes, spider webs are flammable, taking them from minor household nuisance to something more dangerous. Silk boasts no built-in resistance to fire, though it takes an abundance of spider webs to actually catch fire and spread. A cobweb here and there poses no major fire safety risk, so it’s not a cause for concern.
While a hot fire can help heat up and loosen tar within your chimney, making it a recommended step before using a creosote log, it will not burn off significant existing buildup on its own. Attempting to remove built-up creosote with a hot fire is dangerous and can cause a chimney fire. For safe and effective removal of caked-on creosote, the best approach is to hire a professional chimney sweep.
Call 911 immediately. If you have a fire extinguisher or fire blanket near the laundry room, you can attempt to extinguish the fire, but don’t open or touch the dryer. If you can’t put the fire out, evacuate yourself, your family, and your pets from the house, closing the laundry room door behind you. Turn off the electricity to your home via the outside fuse box, then wait for the fire department. After a dryer fire, have your home’s electrical system inspected to make sure there isn’t any damage.
