They actually came first thing in April 2015 to perform the work when the snow melted. Larry the owner was on the job himself during the whole process, the cleanup was great and the roof installation was flawless. We had two minor issues one involving sided and a small tar stain on the sidewalk that his team quickly took care of with no complaint or extra charge. I would definitely recommend his business for your roofing needs as he is very honest and performs quality work.

Let me explain the story... (Albers Insurance Agency - National coverage written and carried under Progressive Insurance) The back story...I convinced my wife to switch our auto insurance to a different carrier, someone I knew personally, and a national company in which I never had any troubles...always came through dealing with claims. However, after a few years with this company and agent...we started to feel neglected and wondered if our money was being taken for granted, if we were getting the best value for our dollar, and more importantly...did we have the proper amount of auto insurance coverage? Moving forward, after several months of our premiums going up, with no accidents or tickets, we reached out to our local agent...this was not our first attempt to ask questions, get information, find out if this agent was working for us or was our money just working for him? If you know what I mean... (my business just landed in his lap, he never recruited me, he never did anything to garner or keep our business, EVER!) So...as anyone would do, we inquired about our premiums, asked questions about our increased rates, and tried to get any information about other companies, quotes, etc...basically we were putting in more work than our agent was...and he never said, "what is wrong?" or "why are you shopping policies?" or "what can I do to to keep your business?" Zip - Nada - Zero - Zilch! Furthermore, this so called friend and professional...actually got defensive and did the absolute bare minimum in getting back to us with anything resembling significant information to help us make a better informed decision to NOT switch our auto insurance business to another company and agent...we have since switched and our policy with him will terminate on 5/10/2015! ====================Highlights============================= ~Agent never proactively reached out to us in over 5 years. ~Agent never did or said anything to appreciate our business. ~Agent never was able to explain rate increases. ~Agent never asked us why we were shopping rates. ~Agent never asked what he could do to keep our business. ~Agent never delivered proper information on requested quotes. ~Agent was defensive and argumentative anytime we asked questions. ~Agent and agency had us on dangerously low coverages. ~Agent and agency cost us $30/month more versus competition. ~Agent and agency cost us roughly $300/a year X 5/yrs=$1500 in excessive premiums. ~Never did STEVE work at keeping our business, not one proactive call to inquire about us or our coverage in 5yrs, NEVER! ========================================================= Total premiums paid over the 5 year span around $7500 "},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/ia/fort-madison/albers-insurance-reviews-5061238.htm"},"position":6},{"@type":"ListItem","item":{"@type":"LocalBusiness","name":"Mike's Plumbing and Pump Service","address":{"@type":"PostalAddress","addressRegion":"IA","addressCountry":"US"},"review":{"@type":"Review","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Laura G."},"reviewBody":"I had gone without water for two weeks, because the plumbers' businesses in my county did not come when they promised, nor would they return calls, nor say why they didn't want the job, nor give any other professional response. But Mike came within hours of my call, from the next county over. He did not ask for a trip charge. He had to replace other pipes as we began trying them out after the leak I reported was repaired. The house had been closed down for years, so I understood why several had broken from freezing. I would have paid just about anything, but he only charged $145. The crawl space he had to go clear through was very unpleasant, but he is just the nicest guy and quite professional. He would not remark on the dirt and cobwebs. He proceeded after testing the water to light the gas water heater without being asked. I just can't say what a pure joy it is in 90-degree weather to have someone nice care that I was going without running water, do a perfect job (replaced pipes are holding up fine), and then not overcharge me.

He stated that they would be here in the morning. At about 10:00 a.m. on Tuesday, Aug. 21, Mike and his crew showed up, set up their equipment, and began trimming. One of the crew was on the roof (smoking a cigarette), another was on the ground, and the owner, Mike climbed up in the tree and began trimming dead limbs out of the tree. We were out in the yard, just watching the work and video taping the work (we always do this to keep for our records), when the worker on the roof began trimming a very large limb that was directly over the power line that brings electricity into our house. My husband asked if there was concern about the limb falling on the power line, and the owner began cussing at him, and climbing down the tree. When he got out of the tree he said they were done, unless we had a check for him, and began packing up his equipment. He and his crew then left, leaving a huge mess in our back yard, on the deck, and roof. We tried to call him 3 times in order to remedy the situation and get him to finish the job and he would not return our calls. We are now having to hire another company to come in and clean up the limbs and debris left in the yard."},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/il/nauvoo/mike%27s-landscaping-and-tree-service-reviews-7499133.htm"},"position":10}]}

They came out as planned and used the camera to show me the root blockage then they cleared it and showed me again. They told me steps to take to avoid in the future. I will definitely use again for this and other plumbing needs.

I decided to make the purchase though I did not need all of the equipment. The TRITON 9000 RS Generator/Compressor/Welder machine was what I really had my eye on. I had never seen a machine with so many functions before. The 10,000 gas generator is the machine I needed the most, but the other...

Larry did a great job as promised. Our home was damaged by hail in 2014, Larry replaced the roof affected by the hailstorm. Unlike other vendors there was no monkey business of working with insurance adjusters and adjusting their charged price to whatever the insurance company was going to...
The water softener doesn't work as well as the softener that we replaced. Service provided to fix the problem is not acceptable. We are going to replace this softener with a different brand from a different company.

FAQs for plumbing and heating service projects in Fort Madison, IA
The average cost to install a new water heater is around $1,300, but you can expect to pay between $875 and $1,750, depending on the kind of water heater, the size of the unit, and the professional chosen to complete the work. Tankless water heaters can push your price higher, as installation is more complicated, with prices as high as $3,500. The location and accessibility of your water heater will play a role in the project cost, as those sitting in tight spaces like a crawl space will drive up your labor costs.
