"Mr. Ferrell first connected his computer to my computer via internet and worked for quite a few hours trying to determine what exactly was wrong. The next day he continued working from his computer for several hours. He determined he would have to have my desktop tower to complete the repair. He and my son met in Huntsville to exchange the tower. He then cleaned up a lot of what was wrong and reloaded Windows 10. He deleted the D: drive which had way too much memory allotted to it. The tower was returned and I plugged it all back together and it is working better than it did when I first purchased it. I would use him again and I recommend him highly to anyone needing computer updating and/or repair. His work is warrantied and he is very personable, knowledgeable, and helpful."
"Install was easy. Up front cost was pretty low with Angie's List coupon. Monthly price is a little high compared to competing companies. Response time with alarms is excellent. I was advised to use glass break alarms within 10 ft of my first floor windows, which we installed correctly. I asked prior to installation if having one in the kitchen would cause false alarms due to dishes clanging, etc. I was told the glass break alarms are configured to a precise frequency that alarms with breaking glass. So, not a "no", but not really an answer. Well, every time we cook dinner, wash dishes or empty the dish washer, the kitchen glass break alarm gives a warning which would sound the alarm if it was set. This has caused us a number of false alarms while we've been away due to shifting bowls or plates in our drying rack. For the first several we've had to pay our police department $120 to check the house, and I was only notified after the first alarm that there was a cheaper option for a security company to drive by to check for a break in."
"We originally met Richard last summer when we were considering buying a house that needed an extreme amount of renovation. I saw his excellent ratings on Angie's List and called him right away (before we put in an offer). He met us early on a Sunday morning, walked through the house and gave us his estimates on what it would take to get the house to a livable level. After that walk-through we decided that this house was going to take too much work, and had a few hazards that were unacceptable to us. We decided to put off the house hunting a few months.
Fast-forward to January, 2012. We find another fixer-upper home, and this time know we are putting in an offer. We need a hard copy estimate for our 203K Renovation Loan. Richard again takes time out of his busy schedule, meets us over his lunch hour to walk through and around the home, checking electricity, furnace, plumbing, bathroom/kitchen renovation needs, roof (which we did not know was leaking), the cost of repairing the water damage from the leaky roof, and also the garage door and garage guttering. He provided us with a written estimate and we then had good, solid information of what sort of loan we needed to request, and were able to put in an offer that made sense based on the data.
Well, that offer was not accepted; we were disappointed, but knew that Richard's work had revealed many problems not visible to us, and costly ones at that. We knew, based on that information, that our offer was a reasonable offer based on those facts. It would have been much worse to have moved ahead only to have had so many problems exposed during the inspection. So, we moved on to look at yet another house. Again, Richard took time on a day of my request to come do a walk around outside of the house to survey what would need to be done on the exterior with the paint, gutters, eaves, and window frames. He gave us an estimate of what needed to be done and told us what could wait, and what needed to be done immediately. Based on Richard's estimate, we were able to put an intelligent offer on this third home, feeling confident about the quality of the home, the amount of money we needed to set aside for our improvements, and the priority of the improvements. Ultimately, we were able to come to terms with these sellers, and we have just signed our purchase agreement!
After looking at this home's exterior, Richard offered to come back to walk around the inside during the inspection so he could get a solid idea of the hardwood floor refinishing we asked him to do, along with some minor kitchen remodeling we want done before we move in.
Richard Froais of NE Renovations is quite a guy, and we really appreciate his reassuring manner and honest, kind, timely and informative responses. I can be a bit of a nervous Nellie, and he has been so patient and caring with his work with us. His customer service is the best I've seen!"
"Tech that arrived was lousy. Came out of truck complaining about a back ache, blamed my AC issues on old windows. Never looked in the attic. Ended up hiring a company out of pocket who did a thorough inspection and made sensible recommendations."
Yes, you can fix windows without replacing them. However, this will depend on the severity of the issue and what your needs are. Minor water damage, broken glass, damaged casing, and worn caulking are usually easy repairs. But if there is excessive damage, the windows are constantly foggy, or the windows are very old, it’s best to consider replacing them. Replacement windows cost between $575 and $1,475 per window, or an average of $850 per window.
Before you replace your windows, check your home warranty. Many home warranties don’t cover windows at all, while some have specific clauses about what they will and will not cover and what might void the warranty. If you have any questions, reach out to your insurance specialist, and never make assumptions.
Arched windows used to be most prevalent in more traditional home styles, like Spanish colonial and Gothic, but they are becoming increasingly popular in modern design. You’ll often find arched windows in new home builds across many styles, including farmhouse and contemporary architecture. This represents a more general trend toward more unique houses with interesting features.
Whether you need a permit to install a bay window depends on the project's scope. Replacing an existing bay window typically does not require a permit. However, if you are adding a new bay window, requirements can vary. Adding a new bay window to the front of your house usually requires a building permit, while adding one to the side or back of your house often does not. It's always best to check with your local municipality to confirm the specific requirements in your area. Additionally, if you live in a historic district, you should consult your neighborhood association to ensure your project complies with their construction guidelines. If you're unsure about the process, a professional can provide guidance.
Yes, energy-efficient windows really can make a difference. As long as energy-efficient windows are properly installed and maintained, they can reduce your energy bill and offer significant savings.
