"Bob is very meticulous and does excellent work. He is also a pleasure to work with. He has repaired areas of wood rot on our house, installed a door, and we would highly recommend him."
"Installed two heavy window air conditioners, lugging them up from garage under to first floor. Appt was scheduled for 9:30 am, called them at 10:15 and unfortunately the owner had had a very bad night with his mother in hospice care. Finally came at 11:20. They were willing to wear masks inside our house. Installation went very quickly and smoothly. They knocked $25 off their usual minimum hourly rate because of the delay. Very friendly, would definitely hire them again (and probably will for A/C removal in the Fall). Would have been 5 stars except for the arrival delay."
"HE ARRIVED ON TIME. DID THE WORK, WHICH WAS TO INSTALL TWO SAFETY HANDLE IN TWO BATHROOMS. GREAT WORK HABITS, CLEANED UP THE WORK AREA. VERY SATISFIED WITH THE JOB."
"Very happy with services in transition from previous Framingham-based heating company. Competitive price, prompt response, professional installation and great offers follow up enabling us to get mass heat rebate."
"We were very pleased with the work Carmen and his company did in our home. Everyone was courteous and explained everything to us. We will definitely use them for future projects around our home."
"It was the only one that came with a solution to my problem and was available however ended up with no electricity on one side of the house and he could not come back? Thus, reason for 3 stars, otherwise would have been 5."
"We had a plumber before who charged $300 and did not fix a leak. These men immediately saw the problem and fixed it. They also installed 2 toilets very efficiently."
No, phorid flies do not bite humans or animals. However, they can still be harmful to humans. Since phorid flies feed on decaying organic matter and are found in unsanitary conditions, they can transmit disease organisms onto foods and food preparation surfaces. If you suspect that your home has a phorid fly infestation, protect your health by taking immediate action to eliminate it.

Citrus scents such as lemon or lime are lethal to bed bugs. They’re drawn to the smell, but the chemicals often kill them. There are other ways to kill bed bugs without an exterminator, including using steam, DIY heat treatments, essential oils, diatomaceous earth, and more. However, you should hire a professional bed bug exterminator to eliminate large numbers of bed bugs.
