"Noel and his team did a speedy and fantastic job installing the fence. Would recommend, and I plan on calling him again when it’s time to re-do my deck."
"We needed to have our 40-year-old bathtub converted into a walk-in shower for my elderly mother and have the bathroom flooring replaced. After an exhaustive search of potential companies, I came across Mako Shower & Bath. Shawn visited us for a consultation and gave us an opportunity to explore the different design options. He was very thorough and provided all of the information we needed about how it would be installed. For accessibility, we decided to have a folding seat and two grab bars installed in the shower. Once all of the parts were delivered to Mako, the install itself took less than a day. The installers, Kevin and Riley, did a fantastic job and we are extremely pleased with the new shower and flooring. It not only looks amazing, it addresses all of the safety and accessibility issues we had with the old bathtub and floor."
"They were excellent! I called while at work and they arrived at my house within five minutes. They explained everything to my mom, who was home, and called me to verify what was needed for the repair. The repair on took only 5 minutes. A few months ago, we had another company fix the toilet. Apparently they did not properly install it and it cause a slow leak. What impressed me is that Cipriano could have really charged a lot and over sold what needed to be done but they did not. They fixed the leak. They were honest, knowledgeable, courteous, quick, and really nice people. I would hire them again and plan to for future projects."
"Bobby performed several projects for us over the course of a couple of months. He repaired exterior house trim, installed an electrical outlet, repaired drywall, painted interior rooms, and installed a new tile floor. He pays attention to every precise detail, and the results are excellent. He is very responsive, organized and neat, and I felt perfectly comfortable giving him a key to access our home while we were not there. Bobby was more than capable of tackling any job we threw at him, and I definitely recommend him for your home projects."
"The project was supposed to be simple, easy, and take three weeks. It ended up taking close to 2 months at which point I was pulling my hair out. Simply put, the GC was never on site and did not manage the project. The painters and flooring guys did an ok job and any issues with them could have been ameliorated if the GC stopped by to check on things. I found it very difficult to schedule even a weekly meeting with him. When I pointed out things such as sloppy paint lines or uneven etching on floors, I was told I was "too picky" and "would never be happy." I blue taped countless items that if any GC took 5 min to walk through project, should have had fixed initially. Particularly at the end, the site was a total mess. When I asked for the floor stain from my back steps to be cleaned up, the GC accused me of it being that way before project. When installing kitchen backsplash, black grout seeped into the new marble counters. Everything seemed difficult and contentious and it did not have to be that way at all."
"JD Michael Construction is great. This is now the third or fourth project they have worked on for us. Consultation was easy and Joe is very responsive and easy to work with. We had some issues with the door being delivered broken and Joe took care of the work to get it replaced. Installation was smooth and took a single day like Joe stated. Installers were friendly and professional. JD Michael Construction is my go to for any home projects larger than i want to handle."
"VKB renovated our 40 year old master bathroom and we absolutely love it! With the professional and talented Designer, Calvin, the excellent workmanship of the installer, and the coordinated direction of the Project Manager, Jason -- the install went smoothly and was completed on time. VKB installed quality products and managed all the small details with ease. Our bathroom is beautiful and has brought our family great joy and happiness! Thank you VKB for your care and dedication you took to improve our quality of living in our home."
"Jim arrived on time and got to work immediately. He was very friendly and professional. He had to drill holes into the tile in both of my bathrooms to install the grab bars. The master bathroom didn’t have studs that he could use, so he had to use anchors. This meant drilling additional holes and it took more time than usual. He left the bathrooms neat and clean. I also had him caulk the bathtub in the guest bathroom. He did a great job overall! I just wish that it wasn’t as expensive as it was. That’s why I gave the price a “B” rating."
Grab Bar Installation questions, answered by experts
While spring gates close gently but firmly, they’re not a foolproof solution for securing your yard to prevent pets or kids from escaping or unwanted guests from entering. Installing a gate latch that is sturdy and lockable with a self-closing mechanism is more effective, especially when used alongside other methods for keeping your home safe, such as cameras or motion detectors.
Using proper equipment, ventilation systems, and adhering to application standards.
To install window security bars, you have to mount the bars securely to opposite sides of the window frame. A home has structural framing directly behind window frames, so the screws you use to mount burglar bars need to be long enough to reach that framing. With bars installed between these secure anchors, you'll have a barrier that deters intruders.
Burglar bars can go either inside or outside a window. However, internally mounted security bars provide the advantage of being inaccessible from outside the property without breaking a window. If a burglar were to break the glass and attempt to attack the inside bar attachment, they would risk setting off a glass break window alarm sensor.
You can shield the area with a well cover. Start by selecting a sturdy, tamper-resistant, crystal-clear polycarbonate option. It will allow light into your basement while providing valuable protection. Ensure the cover is firmly anchored to the window well, creating a formidable barrier against unauthorized access. Regular maintenance checks are essential to keep these covers in optimal condition.
