I called him for three weeks or more and he never returned my phone calls. I finally went to the address on the work order and spoke with Dan's father about my floors and the lack of communication from him. His dad called him up right there and Dan agreed to come over that night to look at the floors. He came over and looked at the floors and agreed to redo them. He said he had his daughter for the upcoming weekend so I agreed to let him start the next weekend. I moved all my furniture back out of the rooms and I never heard from him all week and finally had to call his dad and then Dan called and said his equipment was locked up in a house that he is doing and the lady left town for the weekend and he didn't have a key to get it. I told him I needed to get my furniture back in the house because now it is late October and my good furniture was on the front porch and the added stress of having my house in disarray with everything stacked in the sun room and back bedroom where I work from home and can hardly walk to my desk. He had two other employees, Jed and Mark, come that week and say that the floors looked terrible and they were going to re-sand and do the job right. They only worked on my floors for a day and a-half and left and went to another job site without telling me they were not returning that day. I thought they had went to lunch. No one returned for several days and Dan did not keep me informed on what was going on and when someone would be returning. Finally Jed returned on Saturday and was surprised the floors weren't finished. He worked on them and came back the following week to finish the sanding and coat the floor with the polyurethane. They did not vacuum the floor before laying down the polyurethane and there was dust, dirt, grass and hair under the coat of polyurethane. Dan came back after I called him several times to tell him the floors looked terrible and the sanding in front of the refrigerator was very uneven and looked terrible. Dan returned on the weekend with his daughter to re-sand and smooth the floors again. He finally put a new threshold down between the dining room and living room. There was also a puddle of polyurethane in the hallway that had to be fixed and you could see swirl marks from the sanding in the finish. After he put the coat of polyurethane down and it dried, he missed a big area in the hallway. He came back on Sunday to put the last coat of polyurethane down and again, his vacuum did not pick up hardly any of the dust and debris on the floors. I got my shop vac out and went behind his daughter to sweep up as much of the dirt as I could. I am not happy with my floors, the sanding is very uneven and the floor has junk under the finish and it took 11 weeks to get him to finish the job. I just wanted to get my house back in order, my good furniture off of the front porch as it had been cold and raining during the time it was outside. I would not recommend this company to anyone.

The service repair Guy was very helpful, he explained everything in details and also found out for me that I'm still under warranty. I want to thank him from the bottom of my heart.
I was so impressed with how fast Sean answered my search, only a couple of hours after searching on Angie's List. He called and did the repairs all on the same day. I would definitely use his expertise again.

Repairs went beyond my expectations at what could be done and would rehire in an instant. As a matter of fact, I may have something this spring.

Hi, I’m Mrs. Michael, and when you need something repaired, We wanna be your guy. Back when I was raising two babies, my husband and I started a plumbing company, an electrical company, AND a heating and air company. Mr. Michael is a genius with tools, but he did NOT enjoy running 3 big companies, so he asked me to do it. Turns out, I LOVE it!! I believe that if we make your problems disappear quick and easy, then when someone you know needs something repaired you’ll say: “I’ve got a guy! . . . Her name is Mrs. Michael.”
"Had this group update our electric panel and received great service from start to finish. Team took their time going over multiple options and we made the decision that made the most sense for our home. Thanks to everyone involved!"

"My project started back in April. Eric was friendly and sounded like he knew what he was doing. The kitchen was already demolished so we just need him to get it back together with the new material. Now I understand supply chain issues and waiting for supply’s but our four month kitchen did not have to take that long. Fast forward to the end of last week when we fired them. four months into our project not a single part of the kitchen is complete. Drywall isn’t done, cabinet doors are not sitting right, transition from the tile to wood floor not done, panels on cabinets are not done. Caulking on backsplash is not done, dishwasher is not set, filler strips are not in place, covers on electrical are not done floor vent was forgot about and never flipped around, sink was never caulked has been a nightmare. We feel that the 6000 we have paid was money well wasted. There is damages to our new cabinets which his solution was to put tape that matches the cabinet on it. There is grout on our brand new stove that we cannot scrap off without scratching the finish. Our insurance company withheld funds after they seen the work that been started and wanted water valves replaced and the gas valve replace since they are paying for a remodel not a cover up. We were super understanding and patient but we waited long enough for one thing to be finished. We couldn’t do him working on our project one day a week and then a week off and one day the next week and so on hence the four month project. After this disaster I would not recommend."

Home inspections can be very stressful all around. Buyers are worried about whether they are getting a lemon, sellers worried about what will be found and how much it will cost them and the agents wondering if they'll lose the deal over the findings of the inspector. We aim to relieve some of that stress. Thoroughness is our watchword. If we can access it we will inspect it. For our buyers this means that they know they are making the most informed decision they can. When we do find a defect, rather than just making a check mark on our report we explain why it's a defect and suggest realistic remedies. This great for sellers as they aren't getting hit with unwarranted repair demands. For the agents, as a licensed Realtor I know where you're coming from, my goal is to help all parties "save the deal" that everyone's worked so hard for.

FAQs for gas fireplace repair projects in Flint, MI
Fixing a gas leak costs about $45 to $150 per hour for a plumber or gas line specialist. The job’s overall cost will vary depending on the location of the leak. A leaky junction or connection behind the stove or dryer will likely cost about $120 to $170. But for a leak that requires a gas fitter or plumber to excavate a pipe in the yard, the cost could rise to $1,500 to $5,000. Keep in mind that gas leaks are very serious issues, so don’t hesitate to contact a plumber or gas line specialist immediately.
The cost to install a fireplace is $2,440 on average. This cost can range from $150 to $8,000 or more, depending on the type of fireplace, the materials used, and the size.
Electric fireplaces cost around $1,000 to install, and mostly only require wiring installation. Installing a wood fireplace from scratch could cost upwards of $10,000, depending on the foundation needed to support the weight of the fireplace. In addition, gas fireplaces can cost between $2,500 and $10,000.
The cost to remodel your fireplace is $1,200 on average. This cost can range from $400 to $2,000, depending on the extent of work needed.
If you add a hearth to your fireplace, you can expect to pay between $3 and $200per square foot. However, if you're refacing your fireplace, the price tag will depend on your chosen materials. If choosing tile, you can pay between $1 and $50per square foot, depending on the design. Stone is a more expensive material, averaging between $60 and $70 per square foot.
Yes, it can be worth installing a gas fireplace, depending on your home heating needs. The cost to install a gas fireplace can be much lower than the cost to install a comparable wood-burning fireplace. The convenience of starting a fire with the flip of a switch and turning it off just as quickly makes a gas fireplace a big time saver over starting and maintaining a wood-fueled fire. A gas fireplace also does not require ash cleanup or frequent chimney cleaning to remove creosote and other buildup that can lead to chimney fires. Gas fireplaces burn and heat much more cleanly than wood fireplaces.
A gas fireplace insert costs about $3,600 to install, on average. The cost to install a gas log insert ranges from about $700 to $6,500, depending on the size, type of insert, how it works, and heating needs. Gas fireplaces need electrical and gas lines installed properly, so hiring a pro is recommended rather than trying to DIY installation.
