It went fine. Dave came to Peoria to do our job and did a very good job on the doors. I was not the supervisor but was told everything was done according to the condo boards liking and that right there tells me the most because we have some board members who expect high quality work and they got it . Dave the owner is someone who will not accept any work associated with his company AOM or his name be anything but top of the line. As I said before he is very good at what he does . He came here to refinish the entrance way on the front of the our building Chateau Touraine. He sanded off all the old stuff and put new stain and sealer on the doors and spruced up the wood areas around and above the main doors. The whole area is now back to what it use to be. I am not sure when the doors were installed but I know they are back to looking almost new again. I guessed that the doors are about 12-15 years old. Like I said before Dave and his employees are always there to please and have hit a home run with us again. I am sure that I will be hiring AOM again to do more work in my condo and I am sure the condo board will be doing the same. If you need a company that does many different things then give AOM a call and see what you think.
"Nick has remodeled two of our bathrooms, and both remodels went very well. The bathrooms look great! We felt very confident having Nick and his crew in our home, whether we were here or not (and they put up with our nosy cat and big old dog). We will hire Nick again when we remodel our 1/2 bath."
"We had a different person who came out before them who was horrible and then I tried Crawlspace/Basement Waterproofing Solution because they were reasonably priced and they worked with me on scheduling their time so that they would be there when the electrician are there. They worked together with the electricians and were all done. They were wonderful. It was an all-day project but everybody worked together. Everybody showed up, everybody cooperated, and it was all done in one day with a big job. They were very good with the whole thing. The price was really good deal and all they have to do is seal from the outside to the inside. The biggest thing for us is that, they were here when everybody is here to do one thing. They are really good and we only had one problem but it was all filled up. This company gave exactly what we needed, showed up when they are supposed to, and did a great job. It was perfect. I would recommend right away to anybody before anybody else. We were very impressed with them."
"John has been wonderful through every project for me - I am able to trust him, because after his jobs, I have asked neighbors and friends and found out that his prices were very, very reasonable. He always gives me a good gameplan, and allows me to decide what areas I am able to do. Once we figure out the projects I can do, he does them in a professional manner, and in a timely fashion. I would certainly refer John to friends/family and neighbors for all projects."
"Got appointment quickly. Jacob is informative, performed desired tasks promptly and offered suggestions for requested future work. Nice guy and professional. Definitely will use their services again and recommend their work"
"The very best! Courteous professional clean and very affordable with high quality workmanship! I am beyond impressed and very grateful, very talented crew who pay attention to every detail and ensure customer satisfaction. I was impressed with how very knowledgeable and professional they were. I still can't get over how beautiful my new bathroom is! Thank you so much, I can't wait for you to complete my other home remodeling needs! I highly recommend to anyone who is looking for honest, high quality and affordable remodeling needs."
"I have used Dr. J moving in the past to pickup and install a refrigerator in my home they were very responsive and completed the job without any issues. As a Home Inspector I have recommended Dr. J to several of my real estate agents and they have also been very pleased with the results. They were reasonably priced and took care of the details." - Robert C."
Greenhouses and Nurseries questions, answered by experts
Adding burnt charcoal to your garden beds and plant pots can yield several benefits, but there are risks involved, too. Charcoal, particularly biochar, can enhance soil structure, improve water drainage, and increase nutrient retention. When activated, charcoal provides key nutrients like nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. However, burnt charcoal, especially from briquettes, can inadvertently alter soil's pH levels and become hazardous to plants. Overall, there are better and less risky soil amendments available, such as vermiculite, perlite, or wood chips.
The quickest way you can protect plants and trees from frost is to cover them with garden blankets or frost cloths. Also, bringing potted plants or trees indoors is much simpler than trying to cover and protect them outdoors. Remember to anchor blankets with something such as sandbags, fabric pins, or rocks if the forecast calls for strong winds to keep them from blowing away and exposing your trees and plants.
In most cases, wait three to five days to repot or relocate a plant from a greenhouse or nursery. That way, your plant has time to recover from any shock during the move and adapt to the conditions in and around your home. Some hearty plants may not need as long, and delicate plants might need several weeks. You should ask the professional at your nursery for a recommended timeline. Consider asking about an initial watering schedule to help stimulate root growth and promote a healthy plant.
Minor fixes like patching leaks or repainting are DIY-friendly, but structural repairs require professional expertise.
Eco-friendly materials include sustainably-sourced woods, recycled metals, low-VOC paints, and non-toxic sealants, which reduce environmental impact. Using these in repairs promotes sustainability and can improve indoor air quality and overall building health.
