"Bob is a consummate professional with high work standards, great ideas, and tons of experience with just about any kind of build or repair job. He gets the job done right, and explains each step of the way- along with his reasoning and price options. He’s not the cheapest handyman, but you’ll find you are quite happy to pay slightly higher prices because you understand that he is dedicated to a quality project outcome, no matter the size of the job. We’ve had Bob help us with installing insulated ductwork through our attic to outside from 2 bathroom exhaust fans, install a sliding shower door, and install an attic exhaust vent through a side wall, and repair extensive rot on 3 bedroom window sills and connected rot repair under exterior wood siding. We are hiring him again!"
"Nothing but positive reviews for VC. He was incredibly responsive to us. I called at 5 PM Friday, he called me back at 6 PM, came to look at the job at 7 PM, and was at the house at 8:30 AM on Saturday to do the install. Incredibly responsive! He is an incredibly skilled contractor and made the cuts with precision. My wife and I also appreciated how professional he was putting down drop cloths and cleaning up after the job was done. If we ever need anything else, we'll be calling him."
"Joe DaSilva from Silmac has become my go to person for all house projects! Ive remodeled my bathroom, laundry room, and built a new deck with Silmac. Recently I needed an electrician to install an outdoor outlet and Joe sent out an electrician that did the job in a few hours. Ive also recommended Silmac to a friend whom is currently having her bathroom renovated. Reasonably priced and friendly help. Can't recommend this company enough!"
"Curtice Group to the rescue! This was our second project with the Scott, Eric, and crew after they did our amazing kitchen remodel. We needed our basement bathroom fixed after a previous contractor back-pitched all the piping. I truly can't say enough good things about them: they were transparent with pricing, extremely communicative about what work would happen when, and efficient! We're finally able to use our bathroom for the first time in 3 years. I truly don't think I can hire anybody else but the Curtice Group for any home renovation project."
"Mo built this custom shed door from scratch, stained it and installed it all in one day! He’s a great guy and gave me an awesome price. Looking forward to bringing him back for more projects and recommending him to my neighbors."
"Went very well and I'm happy with the results. Pedro and his crew spend 2 days up on the roof in sub-zero temperature to dig out snow and ice dams. There are areas of the roof where the snow was 5' deep! When they left, I had the cleanest roof on the entire street. They did it efficiently and without damage to the roof. I'll have Pedro come back in the spring to install gutter heaters. Their prices was great - I got 3 quotes. Pedro's was about $2000 less than 2nd lowest quote. Other contractors were jacking up the prices, but Pedro remained reasonable. The crew were also professional roofers - they had all the safety equipment and were fully insured, which gave me a peace of mind. Highly recommended. "
"Jeff and crew renovated my master bath tub/shower. Jeff was professional and a pleasure to work with. His crew and subs were excellent and the project went well and met my expectations. I would use Jeff again without hesitation. I recommend him highly."
"Derek was quick to respond and jump on remodeling our bathroom before officially moving in. As project continued he kept us up to date and pointed out issues with existing structure around floor and window. Within few months the bathroom remodel was complete. Bathroom is beautiful and James did great work on tile/shower area."
You can shield the area with a well cover. Start by selecting a sturdy, tamper-resistant, crystal-clear polycarbonate option. It will allow light into your basement while providing valuable protection. Ensure the cover is firmly anchored to the window well, creating a formidable barrier against unauthorized access. Regular maintenance checks are essential to keep these covers in optimal condition.
To install window security bars, you have to mount the bars securely to opposite sides of the window frame. A home has structural framing directly behind window frames, so the screws you use to mount burglar bars need to be long enough to reach that framing. With bars installed between these secure anchors, you'll have a barrier that deters intruders.
While spring gates close gently but firmly, they’re not a foolproof solution for securing your yard to prevent pets or kids from escaping or unwanted guests from entering. Installing a gate latch that is sturdy and lockable with a self-closing mechanism is more effective, especially when used alongside other methods for keeping your home safe, such as cameras or motion detectors.
Yes, burglar bars are highly effective at securing windows and deterring burglars. Intruders typically seek easy targets they can enter and exit quickly, so the presence of bars often convinces them to move on. If an attempt is made, the bars make the break-in more difficult, time-consuming, and likely to attract attention. Window security bars can withstand considerable force and are a relatively affordable, low-tech security solution that is easy for most homeowners to install. In addition to security, window bars also offer the benefit of protecting children and pets from accidental falls.
Yes, many professional services handle high-security and fire-rated door repairs, ensuring compliance with building codes.
