Meanwhile, my husband and I are furiously working in the basement to remove the wet carpeting and padding. I am a severe asthmatic and the possibility of mold growing in the basement, as a result of the backed-up sump pump, could be life-threatening for me. So it was critical that the soaked carpeting and padding be removed as soon as possible. Within 60 minutes a ServPro agent from Cedar Rapids returned my call and did his best to try to talk me out of him coming out to the house on a Sunday. He kept saying how it was going to be so expensive and could we possible wait until Monday to avoid extra charges. I declined this service. I was not interested in someone who was not interested in helping me TODAY when I needed it. I called the 1-800 number again and told them what had happened. The man said he would try and find someone else to help us today. Meanwhile, my husband and I were working to remove the soaked carpet and padding from the basement. We were successful in removing all the carpet and padding before another call came from ServPro. Later that afternoon a call came from another ServPro agent that said he and his team was ready to come out within the hour. At this point, we already had all the carpet and padding out of the basement and had windows open and fans blowing everywhere AND the sump pump had been repaired, so we opted to wait until Monday for ServPro to come out. When the ServPro truck arrived we thought our problems were over. Little did we know that our problems were just beginning. The guy who was the leader of the group got out of his truck and asked my husband two questions: 1. did we have insurance and 2. what were the limits on this insurance. We now know that we should have told ServPro to leave our house. They took this information and then systematically worked to ensure a mitigation bill of close to 1/2 of our insurance coverage! Over the course of the next week, we were berated and verbally abused by the 'team lead' of this group. Behind his back, other workers would tell us negative things about him and would tell us to call the office manager and talk to her about how poorly we were being treated. We did this on several occasions...the woman NEVER returned one call. She was either always in a meeting or was not at work at that time. Industrial sized fans and dehumidifiers were turned on in an effort to dry out the basement. We would told that the basement was 'as wet as it could get.' Yet, we were also told that on Tuesday, July 2, the moisture numbers were beginning to drop. On Thursday, July 4, when a different technician came out, he informed us that the moisture levels were still very close to the original levels when all the drying equipment was first brought in. He said that we would need to have the dry-wall cut out up to 2 1/2 feet from the floor. During the week, we found several instances when all the equipment was not even turned on or plugged in...yet we were being charged for the rental and use of this equipment. We kept meticulous notes and tried to complain, but the office manager would never returned our call. There was another guy who was the 'Project Manager'. We spoke to him many times on the phone. He never once did what he said he would do. He would repeatedly tell us that he was going to get us an estimate of the charges the next day; the estimate would not come and he would tell us (in phone calls) that he was almost finished and would get the estimate to us that day or the next. When we talked to him on Thursday, July 4th and confronted the Project Manager with the news that the drywall was not, in fact, drying out, he said he was not going to charge us for all of the days of drying and he was also going to take another deduction from the final bill because of the poor customer service from the lead technician. The Project Manager told our insurance adjuster the same thing. Our insurance adjuster said that the industry standard is if the numbers aren't falling dramatically by the second day, you pull the fans and cut out the wet drywall. This action would have reduced our final bill by thousands of dollars. We did not receive the estimate until over 10 days AFTER all the equipment was removed. And then the final bill came within 48 hours of receiving the estimate. We wrote and disputed the charges, explaining what we thought we owed. We received NO response from the company other than another phone call from the Project Manager, who did nothing but lie repeatedly to us, and a notice to sue if we didn't pay the bill within a specified amount of time. We have perfect credit and did not want this to affect our credit, so we paid the bill. We are now investigating other options with the Iowa Attorney General Office for fraud and the Better Business Bureau for poor business practices. This company's slogan is "Like It Never Happened". I wish this were true. When they left my house, I had 2 1/2 feel of wall missing from two rooms in the basement, baseboards and wall trim and doors strewn all over the basement. It was a total mess. This was an incredibly stressful time for us. We were dismayed by the continuing unprofessional behavior of the ServPro employees. They left surveys for us to fill out and when we did and they didn't like the answers we gave, the surveys were given back to us with instructions that we hadn't filled them out correctly and to do it again! The Lead Technician had a flare for acting superior to everyone and making condescending negative comments about his workers and our home. Tempers often flared when he was around and for this I am sorry, but the guy was just so annoying. He was not the least bit helpful. He would say that he had called to give us an update, when he, in fact, had not. Our only phones are cell phones and we have accurate logs of incoming/outgoing and missed calls. In short, the entire experience was stressful and dissatisfying. The work they performed was substandard. The employees, with the exception of the guy who came out on the holiday, July 4th, were difficult to work with, didn't follow through on what they said they would do, and worked to increase their bill, rather than mitigate our water damage. My advice to anyone wanting to use a Water Damage Mitigation Service is to run as fast as you can from these guys. You will regret the day you called them! We certainly do!

The company came in a few days and provided an estimate. The initial estimate included replacing a front door as well for around $9000. That was above my budget, so I removed the front door from the project. While the pricewas $1800 higher than another estimate for the same work, I chose Done-Done. The workers arrived with a truck and trailer full of wood/supplies. This was following a day it rained. They turned around in my wet, landscaped yard leaving four 9 inch x 9 inch x 15 ft ruts. The estimate included 50 hours which I was told would take a week. Seemed reasonable. When the job was completed in about 30 hrs, we were happy. I pointed out to the owner (Pat) that they had finished ahead of schedule/underbudget, hIs attitude changed. He stated gruffly, \"a quote is a quote.\". I told him I know this and planned on paying. I just wanted him to know i knew this. The reason i wanted him to know this is because when the workers were removed the old deck, they made a comment to me that they were told by Pat to bring the wood to him for possible use on another project. The quote included dump fees. Ths was a concern. I also pointed this out to Pat and he again stated \" a quote is a quote and I can do what i want with the wood.\". This was upsetting. I then pointed out that I felt charging someone for things that would not be done, was inappropriate. This really upset him. I then pointed out the discount he obtained for the supplies that he charged me for as well. He stated he paid \"exactly\" the same as i would have paid. This was not true per Menards. Pat later stated he marks these supplies up by 20%. He then stated the quote was for $50/hr/worker and not $50/hr. The workers did a great job, but did not clean the porch and 4 posts were crooked.

A repair that I had been quoted would only take three days became a six week nightmare. The interior work started well until the roofers began their work:
The roofers began by breaking into my garage through the roof. They didn't call and tell me they were coming to my house, I found them when I got home from work. The group had just started after working another job the better half of the day. My garage is pretty full so they moved items around wherever they could find space. I still have items in the rafters of my garage that I cannot get down because they are too heavy for me. I also still have the beer cans they left behind and the spilled bag of cat litter that they left their cigarette butts in on the floor of my garage. The workers were also using my ladders, my tools, my electrical cords like they had brought nothing of their own for the job. When they hung the gutter back on the garage it is now swaybacked and bent so water pours out both ends and doesn't drain the way it should. The roof of the garage does look good.
Next, they began work on the house roof. I have a tin roof on my breezeway between the garage and the house. The workers proceeded to walk across it between the garage and house even after I said they should not because the tin was not strong enough for that. I was assured everything would be okay. Now, the tin roof has holes all across it, it is bent and a quote from Arctic Insulation says it will take $2,000 to either replace the tin or seal it by hand in all the little holes where the nails holding it on to the rafters have come loose from being walked on. At this point I stopped having regular workers and a couple of guys started coming at night and on the weekends for a few hours. I was told that one of the guys was a family friend and Jarvis was trying to get him in good to be a continuos contractor for the company. These guys would come and rip stuff off the roof, throwing it to the ground. I had tar paper hanging off the edges of my roof as well as siding for days on end. I am still finding nails and old shingles all around my yard and clogging my gutters. In my old roof I had multiple pop up vents. They decided, without asking me, that they would remove the popup vents, shingle over the areas and put in a vent at the top of the roof. Of course, before they did all this shingling they left my roof wide open to the air due to tarps that were too small and kept blowing off. The tarps worked for the first few rainfalls when it was a light rain. Except for some similar leaking that had caused the original water damage. I woke up one morning to the sound of drip, drip, drip. I went to my dining room and found that it had started a torrential rain and the roof was leaking through the dining room ceiling onto the carpet. I went up to my full-size walk-in attic to discover it leaking all across the unprotected areas. When I called the job coordinator he told me that he sent someone out the night before to make sure the tarps were secured because he had looked at the forecast. I think he flat out lied. I was home all day the day before and the evening as well and no one came to the house. And it did not matter anyway because my roof was leaking in a major way. Tarps or not. I had boxes of Christmas items destroyed. A toybox that my dad built for me was turned into mush from the water damage. Halloween decorations, Easter decorations, stuffed animals, kids' toys. All were ruined due to mold. Floor rugs that I had brought up to the attic to help catch the rain, since I didn't have enough buckets, were left rolled up and turned moldy and they are still up there because they are too heavy for me to drag them out. They brought a fan to my attic to help dry out the area. Left it on for a week until they finally came back. All this leakage caused more repair work on the interior that they had been already working on. At this point I told them they better get it done. I was made to feel horrible because I was told that if they had to pull this friend of the family off the job then he would never work for Jarvis again. I told them so what. I was tired of being treated like a second job. They finally came back with a large of group of guys and were able to finish the roof in two days. A side effect of removing my pop-up vents has been that I have gone from never getting icicles to I get the icicles from h*** now all along the edge of my roof. The first time of the season that year that I walked out my screen door onto my deck, the door broke an icicle and the top half fell, broken edge first, onto my head was the first time i had ever had any really large icicles. A few small leak-drip icicles by the garage was all I ever had before the roofing incident. Now the icicles are awful!
The third time working on the interior: After the water damage from the light rains they didn't want to continue working on the interior just in case some leakage happened again. So I was left for weeks with all of my furniture clustered in different places around the room depending on what the interior workiers had been able to accomplish that day. I understand not wanting to put everything back everyday. But I would come home and not be able to get into my living room, my family would not be able to use the sofa or watch the TV until I had moved the heavy furniture around by myself. One time I came home at 7:00 at night and the stove wouldn't work so I could not cook supper for my 6 year old and 1 year old because the workers had taken the converter off the end to use it with one of their tools. In addition, I could not get any of the supervisors on the phone for assistance in the matter. Luckily I was able to find another converter in my basement after a couple hours of searching. Also, you have to remember, I live out of town in Central city. There are not places to eat and stores open during evening hours to just run and get something.
Jarvis assured me they would put a mold treatment in the attic and fix the areas where the insulation got soaked. I do not believe they did because my attic still smells like a basement even now. The leak area in the dining room from having the open roof was also not addressed. I asked them to repair the large crack in the ceiling caused by the water leakage and was told they would but the yellowed crack shows through the paint and is obviously not repaired. Also, they left paint on my dining room antique table that has damaged the surface. My carpet was left with brown stains all over even though I asked them to have the carpet cleaned. Nothing was re-hung on my walls, and they took all the nails out so now the nailholes are useless. The painting was done in a 'let's get it done' manner. There are patches of the under paint showing through. Instead of removing the living room light fixture as I had asked thry tried to paint around it with it still attached. You can see the paintbrush marks because they couldn't get all they to the base of the light. You can tell they did not tape because around the windows and doors the paint doesn't come to the edge so you can see the white stripe of the underpaint around everything.
When they "cleaned up", they took my tools, my electrical cords and my ladders. I had to call them to get my items back. Even then I was treated like I was a liar and they would only pay me $25 for all the items they said they "could not find".

"I regret ever choosing SafeStreets. The whole process was frustrating from the start. The technician who came to install the system was late, didn’t answer my questions properly, and left my house a mess. When I reached out to customer service, I was put on hold for over an hour, only to get a half-baked answer. Save yourself the trouble and look elsewhere."

FAQs for security door installation projects in Atkins, IA
The average cost of a home security system is about $700, ranging from $280 to $1,150. Costs to consider include equipment, surveillance fees, and other additional features. Cost factors that determine your system’s price include the type of security system, materials, labor, activation fees, monthly fees, and permits.
Additional features and upgrades may include:
Video surveillance monitoring: $40–$65 per month
Smart home locks: $150
Smart home lighting: $15–$90
Smart smoke, fire, and carbon monoxide alarms: $35–$100
Smart thermostat: $130–$500
Door installation usually takes three and four hours, including removing the old door and frame, fitting the new door and frame in place, shimming it to make sure it’s perfectly level, and making adjustments to the hinges and locking mechanisms to ensure proper functionality. A door-hanging professional can replace an interior door in between one and two hours. Door installation will take significantly longer if your installer needs to create a wall opening, and it can take less time if the existing door frame remains.
The average cost to install a door is around $1,100, but you could pay anywhere from $150 for a hollow-core interior door installation up to $2,000 or a high-end exterior door installation. There are a few cost factors to consider to get an accurate price, including whether your wall opening exists, the type of door, the quality and security of the door, whether you need to replace the frame, and the door size. You can expect to pay $150 to $700 for a standard 36-by-80-inch door and between $400 and $1,600 for an80-by-48-inch door.
Yes, a home security system can be worth it for your peace of mind alone, but it can also save you up to 20% on your home insurance. The insurance savings will help defray the initial setup costs and subscription costs over time. Locations with higher crime rates also make home security systems a valuable investment, but it ultimately depends on your personal preferences and asset values.
It’s possible to install a door yourself if the wall opening already exists, but the work is rather complicated, and a professional installation is usually well worth the investment. For your door to work and close properly, you’ll need to shim and level the door frame in your wall perfectly, which can be difficult. Additionally, we recommend you always hire a professional door installer to place an exterior door, as mistakes during the installation process can lead to poor security for your home.
