"I ordered a Murphy bed from Wayfair that was far more difficult for me to assemble than I thought. Jehu Solis provided a reasonable bid, arrived on time, worked diligently, and, most importantly, did a fantastic job. I would rehire him again."

"The team from Mormat were quick to setup and get started on the job.  It was a cold day to be replacing the door so I was happy to see that they took the time to get as much of the prep work ready as they could before they began to take the existing door down.  Once they got started they let us know what they would be doing, and they began the tear down.  There was a lot of rotting wood around the old frame, and the walls were a mixture of the dry wall and weather worn cinder blocks.  Everything was a mess, but kept the debris to a minimum which was great since we had to pass by the area several times while they worked to do chores while they worked.  Overall the finished install was amazing for the door and I'm pretty sure it's the sturdiest structure in the house.
The electrical panel in my home was outdated and needed to be replaced as well which they assisted with.  When we moved in we found that not only did the panel need to be replaced but we weren't quite sure what breaker went where.  The team from Mormat took the time to not only replace the panel, but also to make sure I knew where everything went.  I now have a clearly labeled panel, which makes things so much easier whenever I need to do work that I feel comfortable doing, safely.
I have had the experience to use their services for the company I work for, and it was great to see that the professionalism and detail they bring to an office space they also offer to their residential jobs.  Given the broad range of skills I have seen their team employ, there will be no doubt that I will continue to use their services for any of my major projects in my new home."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

If you’re deciding between a solar battery versus a generator for the best backup power solution, you can take a few factors into consideration. Solar batteries are quiet while generators can be quite loud. Generators have a lower up-front cost, but they require fuel and ongoing maintenance while solar batteries are more expensive but don’t have many ongoing costs.

Setting up utilities on a vacant property usually takes at least a few months, or between 6 weeks to 16 weeks. This process requires working with the local planning and zoning department, hiring a building contractor or engineer to design the utility layout, securing permits, laying the lines, and connecting the utilities.

Generators are safe to use as long as they are installed and operated correctly according to the manufacturer's recommendations. The most critical safety tips are to never use a portable or fuel-powered generator inside an enclosed space due to the risk of lethal carbon monoxide poisoning; always operate it outdoors where fumes can dissipate away from your home. Additionally, never attempt to connect a generator to your home’s electrical panel yourself—hire a professional to ensure the setup meets safety standards. Finally, avoid overloading the generator by not connecting more appliances than it is rated for, as this can damage your equipment or cause a fire.

Whole-house generators can run continuously for extended periods, even for weeks at a time (around 400 to 500 hours), as long as they have a sufficient fuel supply. However, this type of extensive use will increase wear and tear and can shorten the generator's overall lifespan. During long periods of operation, it's important to check and refill the engine oil as needed, potentially as frequently as daily depending on the model. If your generator uses a fuel tank, ensure it is kept full to prevent unexpected shutdowns.

Generators run on a variety of fuel types, ranging from natural gas to solar power. Keep in mind that fuel costs varying by type:

  • Natural gas: $2,000–$21,000 per year 

  • Liquid propane: $2,000–$21,000 per year

  • Diesel: $3,000–$20,000 per year

  • Gasoline: $500–$3,000 per year

  • Solar generator: $2,000–$25,000 per unit

  • Battery backup: $10,000–$25,000 per unit
