"Mr. Ferrell first connected his computer to my computer via internet and worked for quite a few hours trying to determine what exactly was wrong. The next day he continued working from his computer for several hours. He determined he would have to have my desktop tower to complete the repair. He and my son met in Huntsville to exchange the tower. He then cleaned up a lot of what was wrong and reloaded Windows 10. He deleted the D: drive which had way too much memory allotted to it. The tower was returned and I plugged it all back together and it is working better than it did when I first purchased it. I would use him again and I recommend him highly to anyone needing computer updating and/or repair. His work is warrantied and he is very personable, knowledgeable, and helpful."
"Install was easy. Up front cost was pretty low with Angie's List coupon. Monthly price is a little high compared to competing companies. Response time with alarms is excellent. I was advised to use glass break alarms within 10 ft of my first floor windows, which we installed correctly. I asked prior to installation if having one in the kitchen would cause false alarms due to dishes clanging, etc. I was told the glass break alarms are configured to a precise frequency that alarms with breaking glass. So, not a "no", but not really an answer. Well, every time we cook dinner, wash dishes or empty the dish washer, the kitchen glass break alarm gives a warning which would sound the alarm if it was set. This has caused us a number of false alarms while we've been away due to shifting bowls or plates in our drying rack. For the first several we've had to pay our police department $120 to check the house, and I was only notified after the first alarm that there was a cheaper option for a security company to drive by to check for a break in."
"After three years of living in our remodeled home, my sister and I began experiencing water seepage in three different locations in our finished basement. Rather than let the problem get out of hand, we decided to repair it. We contacted three different companies for repair estimates.
Following one outrageous estimate from a big name company and one reasonable estimate from another company, Brian Flanagan of Basement Waterproofing Solutions was the third person to visit our home. We were immediately impressed with his knowledge. He provided us with an honest assessment of what he believed was causing our seepage problem - foundation cracks around our basement windows. To solve our seepage issues, Brian suggested cutting through the drywall in our basement and sealing the cracks in two of the three locations where we had water seepage. He told us that we would be responsible for having the drywall repaired after the work was completed. In the third location, rather than cut through the drywall, Brian believed the crack could be sealed from the exterior of our home. He explained that this solution would be less destructive because the drywall wouldn?t need to be cut open, which would also save us money. My sister and I appreciated Brian?s willingness to suggest the most cost-effective solutions for our home. Unlike the big name company that came to our house, he didn?t try to scare us into paying for expensive solutions that were well beyond the scope of our needs.
Brian quoted us a price of $700 to repair three foundation cracks as well as any additional cracks found during the repair process. He even stated that he would have his crew seal the exterior of our home in several places to prevent water penetration. We were impressed with the fact that he put this all in writing. His price was the lowest estimate we received and even included an Angie?s List coupon that Brian gave us himself. After considering the cost, Brian?s expertise, professionalism, and the hassle-free solution he offered, we decided to give him the job.
Brian?s crew was scheduled to come out the following Saturday, but he called the night before to say that the crew could not come due to one worker having a family emergency. I informed Brian that I was displeased with the last-minute notice. In an effort to apologize for the inconvenience, he stated that he would have his crew come out the following week. He also said that he would have them repair the drywall at no additional cost to us. We thought this was a wonderful deal and demonstrative of Brian?s willingness to go beyond the call of duty to satisfy his customers.
One week later, two workers promptly arrived as scheduled. They went over the work to be done and asked us if we had any questions. We answered no, and they began working. The workers were courteous and professional as well. Before they finished, Brian showed up to inspect the work and make sure we were pleased with everything. We expressed our satisfaction, and the men finished up. They cleaned up after themselves as well. As promised, the workers returned a few days later to repair the drywall. They replaced and sanded it at no cost to us.
We really appreciated the care Brian and his workers took in addressing our seepage issues and making sure that we were pleased with their work. We waited to write a review until we had some rain. We haven?t had any more problems thus far. Only time and heavier rainstorms will let us know if we are in the clear. However, Brian told us to call if we have any more problems. He stands by his work and we have no doubt that he will work hard to resolve any future issues should they arise. We appreciate Brian Flanagan?s honesty, expertise and professionalism. We would highly recommend Basement Waterproofing Solutions to anyone who needs quality work done at a reasonable price.
"David painted 3 bedrooms with high ceilings and painted the window, closet, and door trims white (originally dark brown oak). He was pleasant to work with and he kept open communication throughout the entire project. He works diligently and is persistent in getting the job done well. I had to address some minor details, but David was excellent in getting those details taken care of in a very timely manner. At the end of the project, he assured me that the quality was up to his standard of approval and I would agree that it was excellent work. "
There are many signs to look out for that tell you it’s time to replace a double-hung window.

Typically, a bay window is, at minimum, 42 inches wide. That said, you can always design a custom bay window that is smaller—box bay windows are usually less than three feet in width and are ideal for smaller spaces.
The differences between a bay window versus a bow window involve the number of individual windows and the angle at which both windows extend from the home. A bow window has four to six individual windows that form a curve outside the exterior wall. A bay window usually has two small windows on the edges that angle outward from the exterior wall and a large window in the middle that’s parallel to the home’s exterior wall.
Bay windows are not easy to install because they are heavy and require specific tools and woodworking experience. You’ll also need to install a roof cab, flashing, and shingles. Ensuring the window is level and sealed can be tricky but it is important because it prevents air leakage and water from entering your home. Most often, an experienced window pro should install bay windows.
Storm windows are placed outside of already-installed windows. Regular windows are installed into a frame, offering a barrier to the elements but no special protection. Storm windows add extra protection to regular windows, reduce noise, and improve insulation. Replacing a regular window involves a different process than installing a storm window.
