Hired them to put up gates on my carport. It took months after sending payment to get the install. It was never completed. The gates do not hang properly and important parts are still missing. I get no response when I request them to finish the job

Professional, knowledgeable, and good work. We hired Mr Owen to install garages doors but have to wait on the supplier for the doors. In the mean time he has installed a new faucet, and is going to replace an old deck while we are waiting on the doors. Very happy with his work.

My experience was not good. I hired this company to install chandeliers. There was a lengthy delay in the company contacting me. On the day of the appointment, I received a text that there was a delay. They did not show. Really disappointed!

Doorbell Installation questions, answered by experts

You do not always need to remove old insulation before adding new. If the existing insulation is in good condition—not wet, physically damaged, moldy, or infested with pests—you can add new insulation directly on top of it for a compounding effect. You can also mix different types, such as adding blown-in insulation around existing fiberglass batts.

However, removal is recommended if the old insulation is compromised by water damage or pests. You should also remove it if you plan to install a different type of insulation, like switching from roll or batt insulation to spray foam. If the existing insulation is very old or damaged, you will likely get more benefit from removing it and starting fresh.

Yes, you can use too much bubble wrap. If you overdo it with the wrapping, it can strain the top of your box and break open the taped seal, risking the chance that the contents of the box could fall out or break. Use enough wrapping to fully cover your item without compromising the security of your box.

The cost to install or upgrade insulation generally ranges from $1.50 to $4.00 per square foot. The final price depends on factors such as the type of insulation chosen, the total area to be covered (home size), and local labor costs.

Yes, usually you will need some kind of vapor barrier on the exterior walls when the framing is attached to concrete and masonry surfaces.

A moisture or vapor barrier helps separate the warm air inside your home from the cold air outside of it. Without it, your walls could collect condensation, mold, or other damage. Check your local building codes to see if including an interior vapor barrier is necessary for your building project or renovation, especially for rooms that are likely to be humid, like bathrooms.
