"I had an excellent experience with One Stop Restoration in remediating flood damage to my finished basement and restoring it to its original condition. From start to finish, I felt I was in caring and experienced hands – it was clear that everyone engaged on my project was passionate about fairness, timeliness, quality, and superior customer service. They came to assess the situation the same day that I discovered the issue and called them, and within three days furniture and other contents had been evaluated and moved out and the remediation work was completed (special thanks to Leigh and Brody for making that happen). One Stop’s fast action preserved my belongings and mitigated the water damage to the furthest extent possible. When the time came for the restoration work to begin, I decided to continue with One Stop and am very glad that I did, as the end result is beautiful and exactly as I had desired. The crews and various contractors that One Stop employed were seasoned craftspeople who arrived on time, did efficient and excellent work, and maintained a clean worksite. Omer, the owner, made himself accessible whenever needed – he was incredibly responsive to questions and requests and helpful in explaining the process so I knew what to expect. And Nir, who managed my restoration project, was incredible – I couldn’t have asked for a better partner in navigating that process. A true pleasure to work with, he took care to listen to and understand my needs and concerns and did his utmost to deliver the highest quality service in as timely and cost conscious a manner as possible. Collectively, the team at One Stop made a very difficult situation as stress-free as possible. I have seen them refer to themselves online as “saviors in your time of need,” and I can certainly attest to that in my case. As the result of my experience, I trust and recommend them highly. While I hope that I don’t have a property damage situation like this again, if I do they will be my first call!"

2018 Super Service Award Winner in Roofing, Painting Exterior, Gutters, Drywall, Decks/Porches and Carpentry Unfinished! There are many construction companies out there that will only help you solve half or less of your project needs, meaning you need to use more than one company to get what you want done. One company will install a roof system, but won't do the soffit work, or one will install Hardiplank siding but won't paint it. At Housworth, we are one company with expertise in many areas of construction. We won't leave any project half done. Housworth was established in 1929 by Gladis Housworth. It was known as the Housworth Plumbing Company up until the time it was taken over by Jack Patrick. It then became Housworth Construction. It is now managed by Laila Patrick the current CEO. We have been under Laila Patrick's leadership for the past 12yrs. Locally owned & operated. Additional contact name - 2018 Super Service Award Winner in Roofing, Painting Exterior, Gutters,& Drywall.

"the team is consistently on time and very cordial. they do a thorough job keeping pests away. the reason for the two stars is that we recently had a yellow jacket infestation. while they came out and identified one of the sources, estimated the treatment and followed though, they failed to identify a second source. they provided a 30-day guarantee, but when we called to let them know it’d been a couple of weeks and we were still seeing bees, they came out and identified that second source. instead of honoring their guarantee, they charged us again, even more this time because they needed to use ladders. we were very disappointed they didn’t honor the guarantee, instead charging more than the initial treatment. i will not be using them for these kind of issues in the future, as i feel they were deceptive with their 30-day guarantee. i’m very disappointed in the customer service at arrow."

Earthquake Retrofitting questions, answered by experts

Grounding is a great first step to prevent electrical shock, but you can take it further with GFCI outlets and AFCIs (arc fault circuit interrupters). In particular, AFCIs help protect against the type of electrical arcs that cause fires, like if a mouse chews on a wire or your laptop starts overheating at the wall. These are required in some areas of your home.

Earthquake retrofitting can increase your home value, making it a great return on investment. This feature is especially valuable in areas prone to earthquakes. Besides the increased safety value (not only for your family but for the next family who moves in), earthquake retrofitting also helps lower homeowners insurance rates. In addition, having your home earthquake retrofitted can make it easier to get a home loan since they are considered lower risk.

According to the Earthquake Country Alliance—a public and private alliance in California that works to improve earthquake and tsunami readiness—reports that unreinforced masonry, such as stone, bricks, and hollow clay tiles, is more susceptible to earthquake damage. The mortar between bricks isn’t as stable as other building materials and methods.

An earthquake retrofit is essential for safety in an earthquake-prone area. Without proper retrofitting, your home is at risk of sliding off the foundation, shifting, or collapsing.

You may also require a retrofit if your home was built before 1980 when building codes began requiring reinforcing, bracing, and bolting for new construction. You may not be eligible for insurance to help pay for earthquake-related damages without a retrofit.

Projects will vary based on size and scope, but an average earthquake retrofit takes between two weeks and two months. This includes the initial evaluation and plan, bidding and contract paperwork, permitting and approval process, actual work, and final inspection. Your contractor should give you a more accurate time estimate for your specific project, and they may be able to estimate how long the permitting process will take for your area.
