No sledge hammers so we don't take out the kitchen wall and don't break the floor. Had access to the tub base through the floor from the basement where I used a floor jack and 4x4 to raise the drain end. This gave them enough purchase to stand the tub on end. The two men picked up the 280 pound tub and carried it out through the bedroom, made a sharp right turn through a 28and quot; door into a 36and quot; hallway, another sharp left turn into the front entryway only setting it down once in the hall. They never left a mark on anything! Very easy to work with and very professional. Will hire them to do the shower install since it looks bigger than I want to try. Excellent company that will advise, help plan and do the work. As much or little as you like.

Very poor work. They just wanted the money. You can see drywall seams. Carpet is lumpy and wavy (they did bring in another person to install carpet), the guy knew it was lumpy because he stated the lumps would go away but they haven't. Glue on tile and texture on tub in basement (they supposedly removed this). I also have texture/paint on light fixtures. Basement bathroom door won't close and knob not set in. Door to laundry area not centered and knob not set in. Paint - areas very blotchy on left wall going to basement, another area no paint on entryway to bathroom. I have to repaint all of it because they left no extra paint. Door to basement not washed clean, can see white residue on bottom half (they supposedly washed this).
Doors - they did not get permit for 2 exterior doors, door jamb extension wasn't put in, you can see plaster. Door doesn't latch properly half the time or won't open when closed. 2 storm doors don't close properly. One storm fell on ground and other banged into railing from wind because they didn't finish installing latch and hinge for 3 weeks.
Refinished wood floor - started coming up immediately, they didn't do it properly but are trying to blame it on paper they put on floor when painting walls and ceiling. They should have painted first. I asked them how long before you can put anything on floor and was told 3 days. They gave me the impression they would redo floor this spring.
Paint - ceiling and walls have streaks. No extra paint to fix this so will have to repaint entire walls. They are trying to say it was like that before. I have pictures before they did any work and no streaks are on walls or ceiling.
This couple advertises in the Insider service directory.
I stop payment on last check written to them because they did not come back to finish work as he had stated he would. Instead they went to a lawyer and threatened to file fraud charges against me and demanded their money. I had to send a certified check to the attorney. I am now having to hire other people to fix everything and it will cost me thousands more. They added on to basement bid without my approval. I did agree to addition for a door to laundry area because city inspector said we had to put one in. I had health issue because they did not keep upstairs free of dust while remodeling basement as agreed upon. Twice I had to leave home and stay elsewhere because they didn't ventilate area which they should have warned me about. I came home once to find someone in my basement besides them, which scared me, he calls afterwards stating he dropped a guy off.
I was lead to believe they had years of experience and did the work themselves. I don't know who actually did work in June because I didn't live in home at the time. I was living in home for basement and realized they had many other people involved.
I am posting pictures so you can see for yourself the poor quality work they do.

My garage door would not shut. The came out and got it shut. However, I was charged $127 for that. I was not told on the phone that there is a $79 per hour labor charge. They also told me they could fix my door but it would involve replacing the tracks and would cost similar to just buying a...

"Jayden, T.J., Marty and Kyle were excellent installers for our window. I've waited a long time for this window and it was so worth it. It feels so clean and bright and I don't even want to shut the shutters. Dust Bunny even stopped by to ensure that we were happy. It's a very hot day and I felt bad for them working in the heat, but they were quick and patient and happy that we were happy."

FAQs for security door installation projects in Waterloo, 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.
