"Had a couple of cracks in the foundation that PMI repaired. He communicated great with me, getting back in a reasonable time, and his quote was very fair. He texted me when he was on his way and kept me informed while doing the job--which he did a very thorough, professional job. It was a refreshing experience, considering how it goes sometimes working with contractors. I am very happy. Would definitely use PMI again in the future. "

"Jon was AMAZING, and our backyard has been transformed from a dog-centric wasteland to a place for entertaining and relaxation. Jon is an artist who has great ideas about how to transform your space into something functional AND beautiful. He is a perfectionist with an eye for the small details. He is also extremely patient; our ideas and goals developed over the course of the project. He was flexible and always contributed great ideas and feedback based on his many years of experience. Working with Jon was the highlight of our summer-- not only because we have enjoyed our new outdoor space but also because we truly enjoyed spending time with him.

"If I could give a "0" I would. This place is terrible and I am not even sure where to start. We planned all summer of 2021 to have a new Lopi stove installed before Winter. We paid the $500 deposit followed by close to 4k to have installed. We thought we were getting the best of the best, but it has been nothing but pure garbage. My husband is not new to burning a wood stove and has for 20 years on his own and grew up with a wood stove. He would split wood each year, has a great wood setup, we have a nice new wood moisture tester, a clear chimney, and our old stove really was perfect with draft. We just simply wanted a nice new better looking one with some of the new cool features like clicking a button to start it. Little did we know, this would become a nightmare. We spent from Sept until mid January fighting smoke backup. The Depot has belittled us with insulting "to do" lists that we have tried over and over as if we are new to wood burning. We cleared a few twigs that were pretty far from the chimney, but did it "just in case". We bought two new moisture testers just to be sure we were burning dry wood. again, my husband has been doing this for years so we understand dry wood. Our wood pile is very large and seasoned. We added a new chimney liner, carefully opened the door when loading and the list goes on. It didn't matter where the burn was at, it would always "puff" out a nice bit of smoke when loading. I have sent well over 100 emails now, calls, and escalated to Lopi and Travis industries and no one cares. We have asked them to remove it, to refund us, but nothing even after many many promises they would. We now have a 4k something Lopi sitting in our garage and our $600 old Wonderluxe working like a champ in our home. The Depot fails to send us their refund policy and after this week we will show up with the piece of crap directly to the store to drop it off in person. Not only did we get a lemon of a stove, but this store's customer service is disgusting. They only care about getting their money and moving on. They are not here to retain customs since they handle most of the market in the area. All they need is new customers to screw over."

Chimney Inspection questions, answered by experts

Consulting the architect of your house is not the best way to determine when it was built. Many homes are built by developers or builders, so there may not be a specific architect to track down—especially if you have a very old house. Instead, it’s best to rely on local government records.

You can look at the duct damper’s lever to see if it’s open or closed. If the lever is parallel to the duct, the damper is open. If it’s perpendicular, the damper is closed. Alternatively, you can hold your hand against vents throughout your home. If you feel air coming out, that damper is partially or fully open. No airflow likely means that the damper is closed.

To check the water pressure in your house, you’ll need to use a water pressure gauge, which you can purchase at your local hardware store. Locate your outside water spigot and attach the gauge (following the manufacturer’s instructions). Normal home water pressure is between 40 and 80 PSI.

Fresh baseboards can increase a home’s value because they refresh the look of your walls. This can make a good impression on buyers and potentially boost your home’s resale value. This is particularly helpful if your existing baseboards are in bad shape, which can age the look of your walls. 

Consider also investing in the cost to install shoe molding for an extra-polished look that can further boost resale value.

Make it easier for your inspector to do a thorough assessment by preparing your home ahead of time. That includes:

  • Noting any signs of pests around the home

  • Removing obstacles in the way of the attic, basement, plumbing, garbage, and other key areas that inspectors will need to access

  • Keeping children and pets away from inspection areas
