"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."
"Went out of their way to insure faucet installation after initial install proved defective. Associate went extra mile and drove approximately 25 miles away to get another faucet and made successful installation."
"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."
"Carmen and his staff have performed every electrical job in my home: Everything from upgrading my service to converting to a 2-family. Heâ s installed lighting, upgraded outlets and fixed numerous issues in my old home. Professional. Punctual. Affordable. Highly recommend for any electrical needs."
"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."
"Fantastic service that I would absolutely recommend. The hot water heater I needed was installed the same day and for less than half of what I was quoted from a different company. Every step of the process was clearly explained and Steve could not have been more polite and helpful."

Foggers work best on insects out in the open, such as ants. Insects that tend to hide, including bed bugs, are less susceptible to the bombs and will likely need to be dealt with in another manner.
Fleas are master hiders, so they’re always looking for safe spots. In addition to living directly on your pets, they’re likely to hide in bedding materials, not unlike the infamous bed bugs. They also like carpet and thick grass, for similar reasons. They’re more likely to hang around dirt and debris in general, which is why it’s important to keep the home clean.
Depending on the size of your home and accessibility, expect professional pest inspections to take between 30 and 60 minutes. If you have a large property or limited accessibility, pest inspections may take longer.
