Terrible. Disappointed in the lack of customer service to fix their problem. I purchased several security doors years ago. On the last door, the paint has started chipping on the inside and outside of the door. I spoke to several sales managers and they wanted pictures of the door. I sent the...

I had used Certa-Pro from another franchise under a sub-contract with a kitchen remodel. That Certa-Pro did a great job, but they said that they couldn’t come back because I was in a different franchise territory. Although the Angie’s List reviews were not top level for this franchise, I thought...

Cleared brush as I had asked, but I was surprised to be hit with a $150 fee to haul away brush. Contractor later said it was up to me to know that county would have taken it for free. Maybe, but I am not a landscaper. Then, he would not take bricks and blocks that he had cleared. Then he...

I loved it at first, but it kept chipping. They came back 3 times to fix the problem and were great about it, but the chips are still happening. Don't know why? <br />

In general they do a good job. The biggest problem is that not the same people come each time to clean. So there is very little consistency. Also, it would be better if they did not leave marks on the wall going down my staircase. I live alone and only use the railing when I go up and down...

They are very professional. For the brushes, they charge only $9 a piece and as far as the hose, it was a little over $100. I keep going back to them because they did a good job when they came and fixed the central vac system. The owner is very nice, very personable and very professional. ...

Brush Chipping FAQs, answered by experts

If you want to remove a bush that’s located on top of utility lines, you’ll need to call your local utility company to determine the best course of action. If you can’t dig out your stump its roots, cutting a bush off at ground level might be the best you can do. Adding a planter over top of the cut branch or planting something else around the stump can cover the area while the stump decomposes.

Trimming a rose bush is similar to cutting back your shrubs or other bushes.

First, you’ll start by removing old, damaged, or diseased branches from the base. Next, thin out the plant's interior by removing thin, weak branches. Finally, you’ll want to cut off buds where the leaves meet the stem.

Trim away using a 45-degree angle, as this will help with water runoff and promote new growth outward.

It may sound icky, but yes, urine encourages microbial activity that breaks down organic matter faster. It’s rich in nitrogen, which helps balance carbon-heavy materials like dry leaves or straw. Use sparingly and apply it to a well-balanced pile, not one already high in nitrogen.

A pre-emergent herbicide is the most effective way to avoid stickers growing in your yard. However, if some manage to make it through, a post-emergent herbicide is the most effective way to kill them. However, environmental concerns exist when using chemicals on a lawn. Try vinegar or baking soda applications to kill sticker plants for a more natural yet still effective method.

Unless it’s rubber or you need to prune suckers and remove weeds, you shouldn’t need to get rid of the old mulch around your tree. Simply push old mulch a few inches away from the trunk of your tree and then top it off with enough fresh mulch to reach 3 to 4 inches in height.
