"Bobby has done a number of projects over the years, including installing new faucets and recessed lighting, replacing a new backsplash (tile), light fixtures (indoor and out), painting, replacing door knobs, and the like. He even installed our tetherball for the kids. He is always friendly and responsive. He is our go-to handyman for almost everything!"

"Bought an Angie's List deal with them that was an excellent value. Their service was flawless---punctual, thorough, and high quality. The "soft touch" equipment they use is far superior to traditional pressure washers and protects your siding."

"The kind of service we received from Dave's Hauling (along with Cornelle, DJ & Kyle) is one of the main reasons I will alway stay with Angie's List.  They should teach how to teach customer service to other firms. 
We had old tube tv's, beat-up chairs, unused office furniture, 50 pound bag of cement that had gotten wet, exercise equipment, car battery, etc, etc, on 2 floors that needed to be removed from our house--one of these days.  We suddenly realized the one of these days had to be now.  So I went on a search for someone to haul (through Angie's List of course) .  I called several other companies, but never got the kind of response I got from Dave's.  They all made feel like they were doing me a favor or that my questions were irksome.  Dave responded to my questions clearly and concisely and quoted a very reasonble price.  When we were attempting to set up a date (my fault for changing schedules), they stayed in touch by both phone and email.  On the day, they found that their previous job was running a little long and called in a timely manner to make sure their slightly later arrival was convenient for me--believe me that was a first.
When they arrived they went immediately to work.  In fact, we were barely able to keep up with them--they finished each room so quickly!!  They even shifted some furniture around for us--this chair to that room, that bookcase to another. They even took a few containers down from your garage shelves!!  All of that and they were finished in about 40 minutes!! The entire time they were there, they asked is there anything else you need help with, what else can we do?  They were fantastic!!  I've used other companies for this kind of this in the past and will never use anyone but Dave's.  As matter of fact, because of them, we've decided to do some major downsizing.  Dave, see you in the new year!!

"We had them install all the roofing and other hardware for a full Tesla solar roof. Once that project was going, we also had them do 5 outer window/door projects for us. All went well and we're happy we had them do everything!"

"I definitely recommend Good Time Home Care! We had two old sofas that needed to go to the dump and no way to get them there ourselves and we had new furniture on the way and needed the old stuff gone ASAP. Levi called me back right away—unlike the big-name national chains—and his rate was super reasonable and he is very friendly and fast. I’m going to keep him in mind for his home improvement services, too, based on this excellent experience. Thank you!"

Playground Equipment questions, answered by experts

Whether building a playground or installing a pre-made one is more affordable depends on the materials of each. In most cases, it’s more affordable to build a wooden playground than it is to buy one and have it professionally installed, but it might be less expensive to invest in a pre-made plastic playground, even if you pay a professional to install it. Wooden playgrounds tend to last longer, but as children age, they will become less valuable. Overall, it may be most affordable to have a pro install a pre-made plastic playground.

Children can become interested in playset activities as young as two years old, and many start to lose interest between ages nine and 12. Backyard playsets can grow and adapt as the children age and playtime interests change.

You can start by finding playground installers in your area that have amassed mostly positive reviews online. Next, search for the companies on the Better Business Bureau’s (BBB) website to see if any consumer complaints have been filed. Once you rule out companies with poor reviews and a history of complaints, contact the remaining options and ask the following questions to find the right installer for you:

  • Will you pull permits if required?

  • Do you offer a warranty?

  • How long do you expect the installation to take?

  • Do you have experience working with the specific playground material I want?

Generally speaking, building a swing set is cheaper than buying a prefabricated one, but this assumes you have all the tools and knowledge to complete the project. The average cost to build a swing set is $514, but you should also factor in the time and effort it will require—if you don’t want to give up your weekend, it’s worth considering buying instead of building.

It may be tempting to DIY the construction of a swing set to save money, but we don’t recommend it. Since children will use the swing set, the entire system must be solid and safe, meaning the cost savings aren’t worth potentially endangering them. Plus, most DIYers will have to build their swing sets out of wood, which won’t last as long as metal or vinyl and introduces the risk of splinters. Instead, hire a local playground equipment installer to ensure the swing set is built safely and efficiently, setting up your kids for fun for years to come.
