"I ordered a Murphy bed from Wayfair that was far more difficult for me to assemble than I thought. Jehu Solis provided a reasonable bid, arrived on time, worked diligently, and, most importantly, did a fantastic job. I would rehire him again."

"The team from Mormat were quick to setup and get started on the job.  It was a cold day to be replacing the door so I was happy to see that they took the time to get as much of the prep work ready as they could before they began to take the existing door down.  Once they got started they let us know what they would be doing, and they began the tear down.  There was a lot of rotting wood around the old frame, and the walls were a mixture of the dry wall and weather worn cinder blocks.  Everything was a mess, but kept the debris to a minimum which was great since we had to pass by the area several times while they worked to do chores while they worked.  Overall the finished install was amazing for the door and I'm pretty sure it's the sturdiest structure in the house.
The electrical panel in my home was outdated and needed to be replaced as well which they assisted with.  When we moved in we found that not only did the panel need to be replaced but we weren't quite sure what breaker went where.  The team from Mormat took the time to not only replace the panel, but also to make sure I knew where everything went.  I now have a clearly labeled panel, which makes things so much easier whenever I need to do work that I feel comfortable doing, safely.
I have had the experience to use their services for the company I work for, and it was great to see that the professionalism and detail they bring to an office space they also offer to their residential jobs.  Given the broad range of skills I have seen their team employ, there will be no doubt that I will continue to use their services for any of my major projects in my new home."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

It’s usually better to repair your generator if it isn’t working properly, as it will typically be much more affordable and should yield similar results. Generator repairs cost around $300 on average, while installing a new whole-house generator costs around $5,000 on average. The only exception is if you know your generator is reaching the end of its useful life, usually between 30 and 40 years. If you have an older generator, you could face multiple repairs in the coming years, which might mean that a full replacement will be more cost-effective over time.

In many cases, yes. There are models called dual-fuel generators and fuel switches, but only between certain types of fuel. For example, with the right setup you can convert a generator from natural gas to propane. Some allow switching between diesel and gasoline. There are even tri-fuel generators available in some cases, which adds a large layer of security if you are worried about fuel availability in times of crisis. Always check your generator capabilities and manual instructions before trying to switch fuels. Some generators can use another fuel but may need a fuel conversion kit to prep them first.

If you have a transfer switch properly installed, the generator and main electrical power cannot feed the system at the same time. However, you should still shut off the power at your main circuit breaker panel before activating the generator. If you do that, you’ll simply need to shut off the generator and reset your circuit breaker once the local power comes back on.

Natural gas and electricity rates vary significantly based on location, and pricing can change over time, too. It’s possible that in locations where natural gas is particularly inexpensive, it will cost less than grid-based electricity will. However, you should also factor in the generator’s initial costs and maintenance needs, as well as its noise level and if it can comfortably power all your home appliances.

Whole-house generators can run continuously for extended periods, even for weeks at a time (around 400 to 500 hours), as long as they have a sufficient fuel supply. However, this type of extensive use will increase wear and tear and can shorten the generator's overall lifespan. During long periods of operation, it's important to check and refill the engine oil as needed, potentially as frequently as daily depending on the model. If your generator uses a fuel tank, ensure it is kept full to prevent unexpected shutdowns.
