They were professional and on time. They worked very quickly and were able to move us out of our old apartment and into our new apartment in just a few hours--a good thing because Hurricane Sandy was bearing down on us the day we moved. They had us moved in before the wind and rain really picked up. The only downside is that we had several items that were damaged in the move, and none of them were covered by the insurance. So read the fine print carefully, and pre-pack lamps, fans, and other things that would be damaged if something were stacked on top of them. And most likely if you have the typical pressed particle board bookshelves, they'll get dinged too. Otherwise, it was a great move--fast, stress-free (not counting the bad weather), reasonably-priced.

Gary Clark and his crew not only prepared and painted my house professionally and cleaned up after themselves, but Gary also proposed sanding, repairing, and staining my back deck to restore it. His estimated price for this extra work was reasonable, so I agreed to add it to the house...

I hired Dillon TreeService to remove a tree that was damaged by hurricane Mathew. It hung over our house and was close to the shed, fence,electrical service, and propane tank. They did a great job taking it down and cleaning up in under an hour! Very nice workers and the cost was under $300....

Hurricane Shutters questions, answered by experts
In areas prone to hurricanes, not having hurricane shutters can make your home more of a risk to insure, leading to higher premiums. But by installing them, you can save about 8% to 10% on your insurance premium. Having hurricane shutters not only saves you on insurance but can also save you from costly window repairs after a storm.
Yes, by reinforcing hinges and latches to prevent unauthorized entry.
During hurricanes or other major storms, high winds can cause objects and debris to fly through the air, which can break your windows. Depending on how strong the storm is, the winds themselves may be strong enough to break your windows, too. Investing in storm windows or hurricane shutters can help protect you against potential window breakage.
If a window breaks during a hurricane, the first thing to do is get away from it, shut the door to the room, and move to a different part of your home. Ideally, you should wait out the storm in a room that doesn’t have any windows. Afterward, safely throw out the broken glass while wearing gloves and call a window replacement professional to discuss your options.
Professionals enhance safety by addressing structural issues, securing loose components, and using non-toxic materials. They ensure compliance with building codes and conduct thorough inspections to identify potential hazards. Their expertise minimizes risks, making the home safer during and after repairs.
