"It went great. Brian's team came the first day and took their time looking at everything I needed done. When the saw I was missing some components for the microwave installation, they took it upon themselves to go out and find the right components for me so I didn't need to worry about it. They came back promptly the next morning, and were able to install my microwave. and it looks GREAT!! They then helped me install a new light fixture while also repairing several other lights around the house. Many contractors can do this stuff. But what set Brian and B.C.G. Building Solutions apart was his wilingness to explain all the tools and techniques to me in ways I could understand. He was patient and peristent when faced with some wiring issues in my old house, and best of all, he and his team have a great sense of humor! I'd definitely recommend B.C.G. Building Solutions to anyone and I am eager to continue working with them in the future."
"I needed a handyman to temporarily install a protective cover on a window so the local electrical company could install a new line next to it. Work was done quickly and on time. Great communication and good price. Will definitely use them again!"
"We were lucky. Our 17 year old air conditioner died on the only cool night in July! Pure Air HVAC, LLC came out the next day to give us a quote and installed a new unit the very next day. The price was so good that we decided to upgrade our furnace also! Both the new furnace and air conditioning unit were less than what we expected to pay for the air conditioner alone. They answered all of our questions and explained how the new system worked. We are very pleased. The new unit is so much more efficient and the house feels cooler. I strongly recommend them if you need service or installation!"
"I hired K & K to install a range hood. There was no electrical there previously so they had to run electric. I also had them install a new light fixture and remove an exhaust fan. K & K did excellent work and even repaired an electrical box that another contractor had installed. I was given a great estimate and was charged the estimate price. Would definitely use again and recommend."
"They were friendly and professional. I was offered several options. When the installation was complete, I was shown the new furnace, the new style of filter, and how to operate my new thermostat."
"The plumber that came out was professional and knowledgeable. Talk me through the process before starting and after installation cleaned up well, then tested everything to make sure there was no leaks in the system."
"John has my business for the rest of my days, very professional and quick. If you have an issue for HVAC look no further because this is the guy you need."
"They came on time and took care of the installation of my oven, removal of the old, and the installation of my microwave. Everything has been working fine, and the price was affordable."

If you are not at high risk of contracting disease and take proper safety precautions, it’s considered generally safe to clean mouse droppings on your own. Before handling any droppings, make sure to put on protective equipment such as plastic gloves and a face mask. Individuals who are immunocompromised, have medical conditions, and children should especially avoid exposure to mouse droppings.
Yes, water misters can temporarily keep mosquitoes and other flying insects away, as these will wet their wings and make them unable to fly. However, as soon as the water stops misting, the insects will return, so it’s not a permanent or long-term solution. It’s also worth noting that it will only deter mosquitos in the direct path of the mist; any humans looking to avoid the insects will have to get wet.
While the term “gnat” is often used as a blanket term for tiny flying insects like fungus gnats and fruit flies, they are different insects. The primary distinctions are in their appearance, diet, and habitat. Fungus gnats are typically darker (gray or black) with long legs and are attracted to damp soil and decaying plant matter, often living in houseplants. In contrast, fruit flies are lighter in color (tan) with shorter legs and are drawn to overripe fruit, high-fructose organic substances, and other sweet materials.
You can find anti-rat sprays in most home department stores that may be worth a try. Spray them along fences and in areas where you don’t want rats to go (like around decks) and they may think twice before approaching. For a natural version, you can try a mint spray, since rats generally dislike mint. But even the most effective sprays are unlikely to stop a hungry rat over time.
When woodpeckers start banging on your walls or roof, they are probably looking for insects to eat, storing nuts for winter, drilling a hole to make a nest, or communicating with other birds to establish territory or find a mate.
The size of the hole can help determine the reason for the pecking. Small irregular holes are a result of insect hunts. Acorn holes are more consistently sized and often fitted with a nut in the middle. Nest holes are large and have rounded edges. If the bird is pecking to mark its territory or attract a mate, it may leave dents rather than holes, and the noise will stop when the mating season starts in spring.
