One of the Blackstone Exteriors representatives dropped a business card at my home a few weeks ago, and I eventually made contact with him. We discussed roofing arrangements, Blackstone agreed to do the roof for the amount of insurance settlement. It took about another 10 days, but I received a couple days notice of when the crew was to arrive. The crew of 7 workers arrived at their appointed time, immediately set out to work, stripped off the old damaged shingles, prepared the underlayment for the new shingles and a few short hours later, my roof was done. The crew cleaned up the area of scraps and hauled away the trailer full of the old damaged shingles. The only small complaint I had was that the roofing crew failed to run a magnet around my house to pick up stray nails. I had to borrow a co-worker's to get the job done. I brought this up to the company representative who then took off an amount we mutually agreed upon on the day we settled up. Overall, so far I'm very satisfied with the job. I would recommend Blackstone Exteriors to anyone interested.

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.

We had moved into an assisted living facility and that is why we bought the mattress, we know of several others that have purchased from them and are unhappy. We tried to get them to come out and measure the mattress as they provide replacement if the depth is less than 1.5 inches. During that time, we were moved to another room and the mattress was turned end for end. They did come out to measure and said it was more than 1.5 inches deep. On the 221st day, we returned the mattress to them. I later received a letter from the company claiming that I had lied about having permission to bring it to them. Our credit card payment to them is currently in dispute as they did not follow their service guarantee and we were dissatisfied.
When they exchanged the mattress the first time, we were told that they would be happy to help us with any future problems. We told them at that time if this second mattress does not work out we won't want another one but would want a refund. During the 221 days we had tried to get them to come out and measure again, but they never did. I had made dozens and dozens of calls to them and was told that I needed to speak to Jennifer, the owner, but we were only able to speak with her once. She told us that a refund was not an option. They said that they did not need to measure because they were going to give us another mattress, but we said we do not want another mattress just our money back. They are unwilling to provide any refunds.
The help was very nice. "},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/ia/atlantic/brymons-home-furnishings-reviews-5126376.htm"},"position":10}]}

Plumbing Heating Companies questions, answered by experts
A plumbing pipe is simply a container for water, sewage, or even air in some cases. Like any other type of container, it has an internal empty space, or capacity. That space is the amount of room a plumbing component has to hold liquid. That amount of room is the volume.
If the drain is frozen, the pipes connecting to the washing machine are likely frozen. If the hot water trick doesn’t also unfreeze the washing machine pipes, you can gently apply heat with a hair dryer on the lowest setting. Start at the end of the pipe closest to the faucet to prevent pressure from building in the pipes, and make sure the faucet is open to drain the water as it melts.
Adding plumbing to a detached garage or shed can increase the value of your house, especially if the garage is properly insulated, conditioned, and finished so that it can serve as additional living space—as a rental property, for guests, or as an in-law suite. However, it’s unlikely that the cost to add plumbing to a detached garage will increase the property value enough to recoup your investment (and don’t forget: you’ll likely see increased property taxes after the renovation).
Repairing an underground water leak is not easy, and it’s likely not a job for DIYers. To prevent further damage, underground water leaks require the skills of a trained plumber. Underground pipe repairs usually involve digging a trench, repairing or replacing the pipe, and then filling the trench back up. However, some contractors use trenchless repair methods to protect your lawn from looking like a battlefield.
You can tell if a pipe is leaking behind your wall if you see bubbling, warping, water stains, mildew, or mold on the ceiling, flooring, or walls. Musty smells can also indicate a leaky pipe. Finding a leaky pipe in a wall can be challenging, so work with a pro to pinpoint the leak’s exact location.
