"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. I can't imagine there is anyone else in town that can match his quality of work and his eye for design. I would not hesitate to hire him again...and will be doing so next year when we tackle the front yard."

"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

To determine if you’re being overcharged, request an itemized price breakdown of the project. Check for hidden fees or project expenses, from parts to labor, that are clearly overpriced. However, the easiest way to know if a contractor is overcharging you is by getting an estimate for the same project from another professional. Negotiating with a contractor if you have another bid for a lower price is possible.

There are a few things that can set off your carbon monoxide detector that aren’t an emergency. Low batteries or a malfunctioning system are usually the biggest culprits, but dust and dirt can build up on the sensor and cause issues, too. If you have a single unit that serves as both a carbon monoxide and smoke detector, extreme humidity (like the kind coming from a shower) can accidentally set it off. 

When you notice any of these signs in your mobile home, it’s time to call a professional to relevel your home:

  • Doors and windows are difficult to open and close

  • Creaking sounds in the house

  • Water is running off tables onto the floor

  • Unusual cracks

  • The skirting or siding of your house looks like it’s buckled under pressure

  • The exterior of the home looks tilted

A mold inspection, especially in homes with a history of water damage or high humidity, is critical for maintaining a healthy living space. Mold can cause respiratory issues, allergic reactions, and other health problems, particularly for individuals with asthma or weakened immune systems. Unchecked mold growth can lead to structural damage, resulting in costly repairs. A thorough inspection identifies visible mold and uncovers hidden sources to allow for timely remediation, preventing further damage and health risks.

Checking for mold yourself is crucial, as catching mold in the early stages is ideal. Mold can appear green, brown, black, blue, or yellow. It can smell musty and can feel like velvet, leather, or cotton. 

Most often, mold grows near water damage. It’s best to inspect these places for signs of mold growth:

  • Basement: Look in corners, windows, carpet, closets, and around appliances. 

  • Bathrooms: Check around sinks, ceilings, and around toilets. 

  • Kitchen: Inspect around the sink, behind the refrigerator, and behind trash can.

  • Attic: Look near the insulation and near intake and exhaust vents.
