"LeafFilter doesn't clean gutters, they sell and install their LeafFilter Gutter products and only clean the gutters if you buy their product. I can't even begin to afford their product so I wasn't able to get my gutter cleaned by them."

"Washdirt is amazing. The work was done as advertised and I couldn’t be more happy with the results. My sidewalks and driveway look new again.

"Ordering was a breeze and Frontpoint gave me a call to make sure what I ordered was the best package for me. We actually went through it all and figured out I needed to swap a couple of items for different ones. They did the swap at no extra cost to me and I had the system in my hands a few days later. It took about 15-20 minutes to get everything set up and another 20 minutes or so on the phone to get it activated. It couldn't have been easier. We worked the system in "test mode" for a couple days to get used to all the ins and outs and we brought it up "live" without any issues. We had subscribed to the most basic package and they gave us 30 days of the middle package for free, which includes remote and mobile monitoring, arming/disarming, the ability to label sensors, and their "crash and smash" protection. After a week or so, we called back and subscribed to that package for good ($8/m extra but well worth it). We love the system, plain and simple. It's easy to arm/disarm and we feel safe knowing that it all works. We know it works because I forgot to remotely disarm it for contractors doing work on our home one morning. They called me and told me my alarm was going off and they couldn't even stay in the house because it was so loud. I received a call from Frontpoint 30 seconds later asking me for my code and password and asking me if I was alright. I was able to remotely disarm it in the meantime and they said they saw that. It's great to know everything works like it's supposed to. I love the system because it's easy self-install, it's easy to add or remove sensors (that takes a phone call, but it's easy), it's nice to be able to see everything remotely and control it all while I'm away, they have excellent customer service, and their response time is perfect. If I had to list something negative, I would say the pieces by themselves are a little pricey. Door/window sensors are $33, motion sensors are $65, and if you want to go to outside cameras, they're $400 each. Small price to pay for safety? Maybe. However, I know I was unable to buy anything past the initial package on the first go-around and had to piece the rest together as time went on. I will continue to build my home security system through Frontpoint and I would definitely recommend them to anyone and everyone. No hardwired installation, no relying on phone lines (this works through cellular), and no bringing the company in to "consult" your wallet clean. Absolutely great system and service.
"Installation went quicker than expected. Matt is great at coming up with design ideas for your house but wants input and will be honest with you if he knows that something you suggest will not look good. Recommend visiting local houses that they have done plus pics on websites. This helped us decide on product, style and design. All crew members were incredibly friendly. The window installers were two of the nicest people we've ever met. There were a few hiccups that were addressed and corrected in a timely manner. Matt is very critical on final inspection and ensures his crew is there to address any unresolved issues. Overall product and design exceeded our expectations. We will be calling them in the future to design a deck and brick work. "
Building a deck isn't too hard if you’re handy with carpentry, have the necessary tools, and are willing to put effort into it. However, other factors, such as plans, permits, and design, can be hard if you don’t have experience in those areas.
Note: You’ll need another person to help you build the deck (especially for framing and setting the beams). Building a deck yourself will be very difficult if you don’t have an extra set of hands to help.
When installing deck boards, screws are generally a better option than nails. Screws offer superior holding strength over time, keeping the boards securely in place. In contrast, nails are more likely to pop out, which can create a tripping hazard. While you can use either, we recommend using 3-inch galvanized deck screws. To minimize the risk of cracking the wood, it's a good practice to drill small pilot holes before driving the screws into the deck joists.
Two coats of stain are ideal for the best protection and aesthetic appeal. However, if your decking is made of particularly dense hardwood, you may only need one coat. If you want an intense color, two coats are ideal.
Deck stairs should have at least three stringers rather than two. The recommended minimum width for stairs is 36 inches, and the International Association of Certified Home Inspectors recommends at least three cut stringers to provide sufficient support on wood decking stairs of this width. Generally, stringers should be a maximum of 16 inches apart for wood decking and 12 inches apart for more flexible composite decking.
Many composite decking manufacturers, including the popular Trex brand, offer warranties that protect against warping under specific conditions. These warranties typically last between 20 and 50 years, but they usually exclude claims related to improper installation of the product. Some manufacturer warranties only cover decks built by certified professionals.
