"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."
"Very pleased. First, Joseph gave good advice regarding the repairs - an approach I hadn't thought of. Work was done to my satisfaction. He was on time, cleaned up as he went and was very professional and pleasant to work with. Have hired for another job."
"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!"
"I can't say enough about Harry! He completely renovated my (total gut job) rental. He stripped the house down to the framing, including replacement of loadbearing walls! The entire house is brand new and beautiful! He is trustworthy, reasonably priced and takes much pride in his work! Harry has also completed many projects in my residence! I promise, you will not be disappointed!"
"Excellent customer service. HVAC installers were great, showed up on time. Dave and Allen answered my many questions during the install. I Interviewed several local HVAC companies before deciding on Beltway. Highly recommend"
"Mark was able to provide a quote and the service in the same week. He was extremely professional and efficient. He completed two ceiling fan installs."
"He was very nice and polite. He was prepared and had thought through our problems with the pictures sent. I think our gate problems have been resolved. I have asked to come back to fix a receptacle and replace place batteries in one of my cameras."
"Pohlman responded quickly when my water heater leaked and quickly replaced it at a competitive rate. I asked for multiple quotes and they were one of the first to respond. I appreciate the work, although I would have preferred to know which water heater was being installed before they put it in."
The fastest way to get rid of termites is to apply a liquid insecticide exterior barrier around your home. If you have a severe infestation, this is your best option, and we recommend having a professional exterminator tackle this project.
Many people have reported success in using dryer sheets to deter mice. This result is likely due to the strong scent that the rodents don’t find favorable. However, using dryer sheets alone may not be a foolproof solution, and it's often better to combine various preventive measures, such as traps, repellent sprays, and proper storage practices, to protect your car from rodent infestations more effectively.
Groundhogs have a strong aversion to powerful scents, including garlic, ammonia, vinegar, hot peppers like cayenne, and predator urine. Various herbs such as rosemary, lavender, basil, mint, sage, thyme, and oregano can also act as deterrents. You can strategically use these odors around your property by planting these crops near your garden and by the entrances to groundhog burrows. Commercially available repellents offer another option, and for best results, scent-based deterrents should be used alongside other preventive measures.
Nope, not typically, especially if a continuous food source is available. Rats will leave their nesting spots briefly to forage for food and water and then quickly return. The inherent danger of exposure keeps their departures short-lived. It's why resolving a minor infestation takes about three weeks, while a severe one can stretch to three months. Swift action is crucial to prevent rat populations from establishing a lasting presence.
When it comes to keeping birds from doing their business on your porch rails, you have several DIY options and home remedies you can try:
Tie a fishing line from one end of the deck post to the other. Birds won’t be able to see the line across the railing, so they can’t land on it.
Hang wind chimes close by, which may scare birds away.
Apply a bird gel repellent to the railings, which contains smells that birds generally don’t like. Or, similarly, you can apply citronella or lemon oil around the railings, since birds don’t like strong smells.
