"Needed help installing a dryer vent through a brick wall... Didnt have the right tools to drill a 4 inch hole in bricks efficiently and decided to hire someone. I spent two hours trying to do this with minimal progress... told my wife I'd be laughing if the guy showed up and knocked it out in an hour. Franklin came out and drilled the hole for me in about 45 minutes for a reasonable price. He had all the right tools and made quick work of a task that would have taken me several hours and buying some new tools. Great work franklin!"
"Nashon was professional from start to finish. I had custom railing installed and he was helpful with design ideas. I would recommend and will use him again as we’re getting doors designed and installed next."

"They did a good job. He was great. They did a really spectacular job. We put on a new addition and it's really tricky to get the garage door. They had to custom fit it and they made it work great. I'd give them straight A's. They had very competitive pricing. "
"This job went great! I highly recommend them as they were prompt, courteous and did a fantastic install along with some extra door adjustments that we needed. "
"The company showed up on time and conducted the shingle replacement being careful not to damage the gardens around the house. They brought the roof up to current code, (the roof no longer complied with local codes), and worked with our chimney company to install the flashing properly. The cleanup was performed in an acceptable manner and the work was finished on time. Follow-up inspections by the company and I showed I had a good roof that was going to last another long time. I would definitely recommend this company for roof work."
"It went well. The gutters are very clean. Following an inspection of the roof, they repaired some loose shingles and replaced some missing and damaged shingles and installed two boot collars."
"Outstanding - Mailbox Xpress originally installed a set of five mail boxes for our HOA. Two years later a vehicle backed into the mailboxes, requiring repairs. Jimmy was out within a couple of days, quickly reinstalled the loose mailbox, with no costs or no hassle - just a great/positive personality"
"I contacted Metropolitan chimney when we discovered water dripping inside our fireplace. Oscar was very professional on the phone and arranged to come out to look that afternoon. He arrived promptly and assessed our chimney. After 25 years, the concrete crown needed to be replaced. He also sealed several areas and replaced mortar joints that were cracked/damaged. After all repairs were completed he applied waterproofing to the entire outside chimney. After the next rain, we did still have a minor drip. I called and spoke with Oscar and he was out to our home within 3 hours. He inspected every brick of the chimney again and repaired a few more possible problem areas. He did not charge any additional fee for this return trip. We have had absolutely no problems since the repair and are VERY happy with Metropolitan Chimney and Oscar. I would really recommend them for anyone that needs chimney or masonry services. "
Deers have an extraordinarily strong sense of smell, which means they can react strongly to certain scents. Lavender, garlic, mint, cinnamon, clove, and human hair are some of the most offensive scents for deer. You can try mixing some of these pungent oils or scents with a spray mixture and adding them to your garden.

In some cases, a clean house can have roaches, especially if you have excess moisture somewhere. You may want to check for leaky pipes or look underneath sinks to make sure water isn’t dripping near a hidden area that is inviting the cockroaches in. Roaches can also take up residence in clean homes with not-protected food sources, like open bags of food in a kitchen cupboard.
