I had a single door with frosted side lights in both the upstairs and downstairs exterior entries and wanted to open each space with french doors. Prior to our meeting Barry provided me with websites to see what may work for me so when we had our meeting I was able to discuss what I had in mind. He was polite, knowledgable and professional and was able answer my questions and offer suggestions. He let me know that it would be about a month after placing the order that the doors would be installed. After our meeting I was provided a written estimate which I signed and sent back with the 50% deposit required. I heard from Barry about a month after sending the deposit and scheduled a date for installation. He and Sean showed up as expected the morning of installation. They worked from about 9:00am to 7:00pm without a break. They ran into unexpected situations such as wet rot and handled the problem. They had to completely retrofit both the upstairs and downstairs as the original doors were installed in 1972. The installation of the new doors included the doors, hardware, thresholds and trim. I'm very happy with the quality of the product and the installation. They were very neat and cleaned up all debris. They are probably not the cheapest but when it comes to exterior doors it was very important to me that it be done correctly and look / function perfectly when done. Painting and staining is not part of the job but Barry was able to provide the names of multiple painters. After the painting / staining is complete Barry will return to install the retractable screens. I highly recommend this firm if quality is important to you.

The first installation did not pass inspection.Although we could use the system in the meantime,they had to return to redo some of the work in order to pass the county inspection.In Smith's defense,the County Health Inspectors in this county are notorious for not overlooking the slightest detail.Good for the consumer,but a potential cause for delay. Smith's employees were friendly and efficient.The only caveat I might add is that when choosing to sod the mound of the drain field,which I did,be clear as to the type of sod being installed.The sod I agreed to was not what I envisioned when I ordered it.He assured me that was what I had ordered.Maybe some research on my part would have ensured my satisfaction.It wasn't terrible,just not what I thought I would be getting.

FAQs for french drain service projects in Waldo, FL
Landscapers typically charge $25 to $50 per person per hour, which equals around $50 to $100 per hour for a two-person crew. These rates can vary depending on your location, the size of staff needed for the job, and overall job type. For example, a larger crew will be needed for structural additions and hardscaping versus planting flowers.
When it comes to landscapers, licensing laws vary. Landscaping architects are required to be licensed in all 50 states, whereas traditional landscaping contractors are not typically required to hold a certification. You’ll likely be working with a landscaping contractor for most residential projects. If you are redesigning your whole yard or adding in hardscape features, you will work with a landscaping architect at some point during the project. Be sure to check our state licensing tool to review the local landscaper guidelines.
As you browse our pro listings, take note of the “Angi Approved” badge. Angi Approved businesses meet our standards for certification which include:
The owner, principal, or relevant manager passed a criminal background check
Required to have applicable state and local licenses
Maintain an average star rating of 3.0 or better on our network, if they have at least one review
Paying to advertise their services
Meeting any other eligibility criteria required by Angi
Keep in mind licensing is different from certifications. A license is a legal requirement to operate a business, while certifications are voluntary.
The cost to install a drain pipe is $600 on average, but the total can range between $150 and $2,000. Some cost factors that influence your project price include the type of drain, the area’s accessibility, the proximity of existing drain lines, and whether you’re installing a new drain or replacing an old one. Replacing the p-trap or s-trap under a single fixture will usually cost around $150, while replacing a main drain pipe can cost well over $2,000.
Yes, most states require plumbers to be licensed, and for good reason. Hiring an unlicensed plumber could lead to poor quality work, costly future expenses, and potential code violations.

We highly recommend leaving the work of replacing drain pipes to a professional plumber. Drain pipes are a key part of your plumbing system, and making mistakes during the installation or even using the wrong size pipes for your specific fixture can lead to an elevated risk of leaks and clogs. Additionally, drain pipes prevent harmful sewer gas from entering your home, so hiring a professional plumber is essential to keeping the risk of leaks and clogs low and avoid reducing your indoor air quality.
