"Two very nice men came and carefully and thoroughly cleaned the flue. They use a vacuum concurrently with the sweeping so as to minimize the ash and dust, and it works. They were careful not to track in dirt and such from outside and were very pleasant."

"This didn’t turn out as good as I was expecting. Basically when you purchase the contract you have to be your own foreman and superintendent and quality control. They scheduled it around time we weren’t able to be home so we probably didn’t get as much labor as we should have. They were going to charge me $370 for 8 hours additional labor which I didn’t agree with."

"It went pretty well. They actually found a bird in the chimney, so that was helpful. I'd use them again if I needed. They were nice enough and answered all my questions."

"Frank Zeberlein represented Ruxton Renovations and was the first company to respond to our request with a qualified written price quote and tentative schedule. Frank walked us through the process to include pictures from previous jobs he has completed that was similar in scope. Frank also provided suggestions and recommendations on ways to control costs without sacrificing quality. As with all projects we came into this effort with a clean slate and it was good to have someone guide us through the process. Another key feature to Ruxton Renovations was that they did the COMPLETE job. There was no subcontracting to other companies for Plumbing, Drywall, Tile, etc. The people who were assigned to the job were all Ruxton employees. Regarding the quote process - I received three written quotes from companies off Angies List and the quotes ranged from $3,500 to $14,000 for similar activities.
The actual work schedule was loosely tied to receipt of the tile from Chesapeake Tile Company. Once the tile was in-house, the crew arrived and began the demolition task. The demolition was done efficiently with minimal mess. The next phase involved plumbing which was completed with the new cement board for the wall installed the same day. The shower cement pan and shower wall preparations were completed within the next day. Note, in a parallel effort - We selected Granite from the shop floor to minimize cost (another good idea). The Tile was the most complex part of the operation due to the "picture frame" design and the selected glass tile. Personally, we did not discuss the additional installation time with Frank prior to finalizing the quote and he did not raise the final price even though it took two additional days to complete (Much Appreciated !!!).
The Tile was completed and we were given the chance to review the tile work prior to final grouting. This was a good process because it allowed us to make sure we were happy with the tile layout and alignment before everything was grouted in place. In fact, we requested they replace individual tiles because they were not straight. We received no push back from the crew or Frank and the offending tiles were quickly replaced before grouting. Note, we even got fancy on floor tile and added diamond glass tiles for accent - Another labor intensive idea that we were not charged any extra. Upon completion of the tile work - Ruxton installed the new vanity, Granite Top, Toilet, and all fixtures.
One discriminator for Ruxton was the Shower Seat design - I have never seen this design before from any other company. The Seat is a basic half moon Granite Design that matches the shelves and sill. The Seat is compact/sturdy and provides an amazing compliment to the Shower. My wife and kids love the seat !!! In fact, we had Ruxton install a seat in the Master Bath - The job was done flawlessly (they had to cut the Tile) and was sealed properly to prevent leaking as well.
Overall, due to the complexity of the tile and some issues with tile delivery, the schedule pushed out a few extra days but during the job - I never got the sense from the Crew that they were getting rushed into making mistakes based on meeting a schedule. Frank emphasized job quality and customer satisfaction as his number one priorities. I also received a follow up call from Frank a few weeks after the job to make sure we were still satisfied with the job and to make sure we did not have any other questions for him.
Lesson Learned - The actual Tile Product varies dramatically in cost so be aware of that fact when you are shopping for tile. The Product Costs could significantly add to the bottom line price so go into the selecting process with one eye on "like" and one eye on "price per square foot". We got caught in the loop of really really liking tiles without understanding the price impact - For us it was a $2K lesson.
Recommendation - Yes, the price was a "Good Value" and the Professionalism/Quality was top notch. I would gladly recommend Ruxton Renovations to my friends and neighbors for any home remodeling tasks. Thanks Frank !!!

"They did a great job. They solved all the problems I had with the chimney and it’s been working perfectly ever since. They also fixed a problem on the roof around the chimney; they replaced the wood around the chimney with a material that would never rot, so they fixed it even better than it was before. It took them a couple of days to do the work. They took care of all the cleanup as well. We've been real happy with them."
Different pest control methods exist to help mitigate an infestation. Not every technique will work with every pest, which is why speaking with a pest control expert is crucial to taming your problem. Different methods of pest removal include:
Heat treatments
Freezing treatments
Traps
Barriers
Chemical pesticides
Fumigation
Rodenticides
Mechanical devices
Repellants
The cost of pest control is $175 for the average homeowner. However, you could spend as little as $100 or as much as $500 or more, depending on the infestation size, the number of visits you need, and the pest you’re exterminating.
For example, if you need to rid your home of spiders, you’ll likely be spending between $100 and $300. However, if you have a termite problem, you can expect a bill of $230 to $2,500 or more, depending on the infestation size and damage caused.
Animal removal specialists specialize in removing critters and wildlife from in and around your home. These include:
Bats
Birds
Groundhogs
Moles and voles
Opossums
Mice and rats
Raccoons
Skunks
Squirrels
The specialist's method to remove these critters will depend on the animal. For example, groundhogs will be live-trapped and relocated, whereas, for birds, the expert will remove and discard the inactive nest and sanitize the area.
Professional animal removal costs between $200 and $600 for average homeowners. However, depending on the type and number of critters removed, this cost could range from $85 to $1,400.
This cost does not include the cost of home damage caused by the animal, which could be as low as $300 for minor drywall repair or as much as $15,000 for crawl space cleaning and restoration.
Even if you’re not immediately showing signs of pests, it’s a good idea to get into the habit of routine pest control. This should be done yearly, quarterly, bi-monthly, or monthly, depending on your location and if any signs of infestation are already present. For example, if you live by water, you might experience more pests in the spring and summer than someone who lives in a dry climate. Discuss treatment options with your pest professional to determine a suitable schedule for you and your home.
