10 We dropped off the car and spoke with them the next day about what they thought. They explained possible causes of problems and what needed to be done next. That inspection was for $100. They then got it across town to another party who, for another $500 disassembled the transmission to see...
Extremely friendly and great at explaining what he was going to do. We had inadvertantly damaged into our garage door and had no idea what to expect in repair or replacement costs. He could have taken us for a lot of unneeded repairs, but instead recommended we simply have him try to repair...
They found some issues with the chimney and gave us an estimate for the repairs.
Firstly, I am torn as to how to grade Orkin. The exterminator they sent was exceptionally helpful and professional. He couldn't have done a better job! If I could just rate the exterminator, I would give him A's all across the board - seriously. They coudn't have sent a nicer guy! ...
They brought a dumpster to the house and were only there a day and half. They did not request any money up front and they actually allowed my husband to go out and inspect the house before handing over a payment. They used the exact shingles we requested. They even did a little extra work...
Pinecrest Construction LLCWe had a fabulous experience with Steve at W&W Construction! Our house was new when we moved in and so when we gathered bids to finish our basement (roughly 6 months after we moved in), we wanted a contractor who would be willing to use the same subcontractors and materials that had been...
I just paid $115.89 to have a routine check on my furnace, which took less than 20 minutes. Now, if you allow for a 10-minute drive to get to my place and another 10 minutes to get to the next appointment (which is about right in this community), it would be a 40-minute labor cost...

My calls were returned promptly as was inspection for price quote. I conditioned the work on me not being present while the work was being done (due to my out-of-town employment, etc.). Planetary offered...
I'd used these guys for years and always felt confident taking my car to them, but then something happened... I had to leave my car there over night for a repair while a part was being ordered. I picked it up late the following day, and after getting it home, something caught my eye as I went...

"These guys can't change a wax ring on a toilet. Literally. They eventually got mine replaced at 6pm on a Friday and they were ready to give up at 5 but their boss told them to stay until done. After they got it ( it took 5 guys, 2 of them just slumbering around ), they charged me $300 for a wax ring . I've got nothing to gain by leaving this review, mainly I wanted to leave one in order to warn people to stay away from this company."

The National Fire Prevention Agency (NFPA) recommends chimney sweeping once per year as a means of avoiding house fires and massive property damage. Over time, creosote and soot build up in your chimney from burning wood and a lack of ventilation. These compounds are both highly flammable, which means a build-up of them inside your chimney puts you at an increased risk of house fire. Chimney sweeping removes any residue and helps reduce the risk of property damage and personal injury from fire.
