Each and every person I met was nothing less than exceptional: they were patient, hard-working, communicative, and even let me "watch and learn". They are true professionals with years of experience and/or graduated at the top of their class(s). They were extremely accommodating to my unusual circumstances of bouncing in-between states and time restrictions. Many thanks to Anthony, Kevin Z., Ron, Tim, Eric, John, Bob, Scott D., Dale, Jimmy, Scott and Patty. With that many people involved in just one house with so many projects, you can be assured the same exact experience I had; nothing less than the best.

I met with eight contractors, and then presented my results to the Church Council. We chose to go with Steve Case from Preferred Roofing and Exteriors. We had to have the congregation vote on it though as the council did not have the authority to authorize the submitted price. Steve Case was at the meeting and answered any questions the congregation members had asked. The congregation was very pleased with the work done by Steve?s company, and they know the roof looks beautiful. Steve's company started it on Monday and finished it on Thursday. They did the steeple the next week as the lift was not available the week they did the roof. I found Steve to be very professional with the quote, and also with any questions I had about the roof. He came and looked at the roof when the job was finished, and I was very well pleased with how precise he wanted his employees to be when doing the job. He also had some of his employees work on the eaves trough for the proper slope. Later this year I will be doing the roof on my house, and I will go with Steve Case as he is very forthright and honest...and very professional as well. I have a lot of respect for Steve and the company he runs, and if there is any problems Steve will figure out what to do to fix the problems. I am giving Steve Case an ?A recommendation? here on Angie?s List...!!

This was disappointing. I needed to replace an old 40 gallons, 40,000 btu Bradford White water heater that had started leaking and the pilot light kept going out. I compared dozens of options from several major retailers and really wanted to upgrade to possibly a 50 gallon tank and 60,000 btu...
Excellent service! Quick response. Cory was very knowledgeable, explained everything very well, polite, and professional. Our heat was not working and he saved us! I will be using Koalafied Heating and Air services again in the future. I would highly recommend using them.

Great until they received the 50% down payment at which point customer service went to zero. The brick walkway is beautiful. The company was to remove 2 -3 inches of mulch around my pool and add landscaping rock to fill the beds and add rock to fill the rock bed between my pool and house....

Plumbing Heating Companies questions, answered by experts
While not everyone can detect taste differences in high-calcium water, water that has a slightly metallic taste probably has too much calcium.
While you may hear people using the terms shower valve and cartridge interchangeably, they’re two different things. It can get confusing because the shower cartridge is a component inside the shower valve. The cartridge helps manage the temperature by balancing the mix of hot and cold water.
The signs of a failing valve and cartridge are similar, but if you’re having problems with water temperatures, you’ll likely need to replace the entire valve.
Yes, you can change a bathtub faucet without changing the valve, as long as the new faucet is compatible with your existing valve system. Most manufacturers design their faucet trims (handles and spouts) to work with their standard valve bodies. However, you'll need to match the new faucet to your valve type, whether it's a compression, cartridge, or ball-type valve. Mixing brands can be problematic, but you can bring your old faucet parts to the hardware store and ask about compatibility.
No, a bigger pressure tank has no effect on water pressure. To increase water pressure in your well water, gently adjust the tank’s pressure settings to a higher psi (pounds per square inch). If you’ve already done this, you can swap out your current pump for one with a higher flow rate, measured in gallons per minute (GPM). You can also call a pro to install a water pressure booster pump in your home plumbing system. If you experience fluctuations in water pressure, replace your current tank and pump with a constant pressure system.
Pot fillers are often outfitted with cold water only. When you need water for boiling, always choose cold water because hot water may contain more dissolved minerals from the pipe, offsetting the flavor of the food. In kitchens where the filler is used often, it may make sense to route hot water too, but this is rare, and even professional kitchens seldom have this option installed.
