"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

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.

Some cities or states may require you to have an earthquake gas shut-off valve. Your insurance provider may also have requirements for installing this valve. Even if you don’t have to have one by law, it’s wise to have a natural gas plumber install one anyway. These devices can be lifesaving and prevent fires or explosions in the event of a gas leak.

Generally, the retrofitting process can take two to four weeks. Your contractor will let you know if staying in your home for the entire project is feasible. However, most people are able to remain at home. If your home is undergoing earthquake rehab, it's more likely that you'll need to leave until work is complete. Your earthquake insurance may cover boarding costs if your home is deemed unsafe.

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.

Depending on where you live, your insurance company may require you to have a seismic shut-off valve. It depends on local regulations along with the specific provider. If it’s not a requirement, many providers will offer a discount if you install an earthquake valve, which can save you 5% or more. Contact your provider to learn about potential savings for your plan.
