"I had the pleasure of working with Jacob for the installation of 2 ring flood lights at my home. From start to finish, the experience was top-notch. He arrived on time, was professional, and communicated effectively throughout the process. The installation was completed with precision and attention to detail, ensuring that the ring devices were properly aligned and securely fastened. The end result was exactly what I wanted - bright, well-placed flood lights that added both functionality and aesthetic appeal to my property. I would highly recommend Jacob for any electrical needs. He truly went above and beyond in delivering exceptional service"

"We bought a house and the basement was our highest priority. We would entertain down there a lot so having an unfinished basement at 6' (even lower where the support beam was) was going to be very bothersome. We knew that we would lose more height once we finished it so I called Brian Flanagan to come out.  His head almost touched the ceiling when he came over! He gave us estimates for 12", 18" and 24" because we were undecided on how low to go. Based on our budget, we chose to lower the ground 18". We had talked about getting a permit so Brian got an engineer to draw up plans and they got it for us.
They demoed the existing ceiling and walls and removed it for us. They installed waterproofing (drain tile, sump pump) so that we wouldn't have any water leaks in the future. He also installed overhead plumbing for us so that we wouldn't have to worry about flooding. We told Brian that we wanted to add a bathroom in the basement later so he even had them leave plumbing in place for that. 
There was 5 columns that held up the support beams and Brian was able to eliminate 2 of them by replacing one of our wooden beams with a new steel beam. He also replaced the remaining wooden columns with steel columns. After the ground was dug out, they poured the cement in just a day! We also hired them to build stairs for us.
Brian is really accommodating and just an awesome guy. We got so many estimates but Brian and his company had the most reviews on Angieslist AND they were the cheapest. GREAT find!"

"Excellent service. Mark had a difficult mounting situation with thick cedar planks on wall on top of dry wall. He was skilled and did a great job dealing with the situation. When I bought the new TV I didn’t know if I would want to use the internal TV’s speakers or get a sound bar. After deciding to get a sound bar, Mark came back to attach the sound bar bracket for me. I was very happy with Mark and have recommended him to others."

"The prices were fair. They were on-time. The quality of work was good. There were a couple of drops of paint on the wall and they came back to touch it up. I thought they were very considerate when working and worked around a couple of days while I wasn't there. I would recommend them."

Playground Equipment FAQs, answered by experts

It’s usually possible to install a playground yourself, but we don’t recommend it. Playground construction can be complicated and involves moving large, heavy, and bulky components into place while you affix them to other pieces. Not only is the work physically demanding, but any mistakes could reduce the lifespan of your playground and potentially put any children who use the equipment at risk of injury. It’s relatively inexpensive to hire a professional playground installer, and it’s usually worth the investment, if only for the peace of mind it provides.

Whether building a playground or installing a pre-made one is more affordable depends on the materials of each. In most cases, it’s more affordable to build a wooden playground than it is to buy one and have it professionally installed, but it might be less expensive to invest in a pre-made plastic playground, even if you pay a professional to install it. Wooden playgrounds tend to last longer, but as children age, they will become less valuable. Overall, it may be most affordable to have a pro install a pre-made plastic playground.

Generally speaking, building a swing set is cheaper than buying a prefabricated one, but this assumes you have all the tools and knowledge to complete the project. The average cost to build a swing set is $514, but you should also factor in the time and effort it will require—if you don’t want to give up your weekend, it’s worth considering buying instead of building.

The average lifespan for a playset is around eight to ten years, but you can probably make it last to 15 years with good weather conditions and proper maintenance. If you’re purchasing a pre-made playset, some brands offer warranties for up to 25 years—long after your kiddos are grown.

Yes! It’s always a good idea to anchor your playset. Even though they’re heavy, it doesn’t take much wind to blow one over. Anchoring everything to the ground makes it a lot safer for your kiddos.
