"Drive way was compacted and over grown with grass, weeds, and allowing water into the garage. Had a hill on one side of the house lower against the foundation, getting water in basement. Needed a patio to replace the rotted deck and allow my dog run. Did a great job, hired to rejuvenate and gravel driveway which looks awesome, remove hill along side of house place dirt against house and leave a swell between property to not cause an issue for my neighbor, much dryer in the basement, removed what was left of my rotted deck to put in a patio sloped away from the house. Was too hot for me but they showed up and got everything done quicker than I thought it would be. Very happy I was able to hire them"

"Jack is a master of his craft and a perfectionist. My seven year old put it best when she said, "daddy, Jack sure knows a lot". He has replaced pillars on our front porch and completely remodeled two bathrooms in our house. In terms of the bathrooms he did everything from the plumbing to wiring to tiling. He is also comes with a great personality. He is patient when our young daughters want to see what he is up and has been great to have around the house. Very professional. On time. Always tidy. His bids are extremely reasonable and well worth the cost. We are very pleased and will use Jack for all our projects - even if we have to wait. As an aside, our hot water heater happened to fail while I was out of town and he was working on our bathrooms. He fixed it right away, even hauling away the old water heater. I couldn't have been more thankful (as was my wife)!"

"Josh Babcock did excellent work. He communicated well with me, was very easy to work with,and was quite thorough. I had a big shed and he found out it was too bad to repair so we decided to take it and all the huge shrubs around it totally down and he built a new one to my liking . He also did well on several small indoor projects. I would definitely hire him again. And each day- he always cleaned up the construction messes! That’s not something some construction people do."

"I finally found a company that has excellent customer service, communication and outstanding workmanship! I had called for a very fast turnaround in timing for handymanâ s projects around house. They did not disappoint by replaced toilet, finished and fixed unfinished flooring, fixed bathroom exhausted fan and installed new outside lighting. I have to also mention not just handyman work but I appreciated the knowledge on educating me on household safeguards. I am hiring again very soon. Thank you!"

Fire Pit Installation questions, answered by experts

A fireplace hearth is necessary in most areas per building codes, especially for gas and wood-burning fireplaces. Electric fireplaces may not require a hearth, so check local building codes or ask a pro for guidance if you’re leaning toward electric. A fireplace hearth can decrease the risk of flying embers creating a fire and burning your home down. That’s why fireproof material, like tile, is used for the hearth.

A spark arrestor is not the same as a chimney cap. Both sit on the top of the chimney. However, the cap keeps debris from entering the chimney, and the spark arrestor’s primary function is to prevent burning embers from escaping. Some spark arrestors are integrated into the chimney cap, and others are installed separately.

Yes, it is generally safe to have a fire pit on a deck, but you must adhere to building codes and take several safety precautions. For both built-in and freestanding models, you must use a heat-resistant barrier, such as a fire pit pad or heat shield, between the pit and the deck. Additionally, consider the weight of the fire pit and ensure your deck can structurally support it, reinforcing it if necessary. The fire pit must also be positioned a safe distance from your house, particularly from materials like vinyl siding, to prevent heat damage.

No. Removing the cause of concern will only lead to deeper concern. You cannot use any fire-powered appliance like a fireplace or furnace without an escape route for the smoke and fumes. If you remove the flue intending to repair or replace it, you should only use the fireplace, wood stove, or furnace once the flue is in working order. If you cannot replace the flue you have removed, call a chimney repair professional immediately.

A spark arrestor is a simple metal mesh device that prevents flammable particles from escaping from a combustion source and causing a fire. You typically find these attached to gas or diesel engines on things like cars, generators, and garden tools (lawnmowers, chainsaws, etc.). Fireplace or wood-burning stove chimneys also have spark arrestors attached to or sitting under the chimney cap to capture burning embers.
