Having been in the industry for years, Mark and his team connected us with other professionals as issues arose. For example, we had roofing issues that led to unforeseen dry rot with some siding. No problem. We had two or three names and phone numbers the same day. We were able to get estimates and schedules and find the right professional. Given our housing market and the boom that we are enjoying, it is difficult to find quality contractors that are available. We were lucky to have Mark and DeVries contractors available. We were so pleased to with their work, that we hired them to do some inside painting and consultation. That is another entry for another day.

The representative was seemingly very professional, including a complete package consisting of insurance documents, company history and assorted examples. He answered all our questions. We agreed to what work was to be done. I specifically pointed out an area that had been damaged by water back-up from an ice dam. I was assured they had "Master" carpenters who would make it look as "good as new". We were told the work would take 6 days. The crew arrived on the first day August 27th, and the crew foreman told us they would be using a "double crew" and the job would be done in 3 days! That was good news. He also again told me their "master" carpenter would do an excellent job on the ice dam damaged area. The first day there seemed to be an army of workers. The work day was about 8 hours. The job site was cleaned up entirely at day's end. The next day, the crew was considerably smaller. and the work day considerably shorter (6 hours?). The next day was the Friday before the holiday week-end, and the crew was small, and the day was over by 2. They understandably took the Monday holiday off, but the next day the crew consisted of 2 guys who stayed for about 3 hours. There was no longer any effort to clean things up at the end of the day. We had supplies, garbage, cigarette butts and tools left laying all over. One day an electrical cord was left hanging from the roof. The next "work" day started around noon, and was done by 2! On the following day around 10 AM, having seen no one on the job, I called the Company's office and inquired just how much longer this job would take, as there were still large parts of the roof unfinished, the gutters hadn't been started, and no crew in sight. After a few phone calls with the owner, the "Crew Chief" showed up with assurances things would be addressed promptly. The job ended up taking 8 days, and that was after I complained. I have little doubt it would have taken much longer if I hadn't complained. When I met with the "crew chief", he told me he'd made special arrangements to have the gutter people come out early to get the job done. This struck me odd that a job that he had told me would take 3 days, required "special arrangements" to get the "gutter guy" out to my house on the 8th day. The "master" carpenter was in fact a wood butcher who did an absolutely miserable job. It is an eyesore, at best. When the owner came to do a final inspection, he agreed it was a poor job. there was no offer to repair it, but he did discount the job $800. The owner admitted he had no "master" carpenters on staff, and yet on at least two occasions, his people assured me they did. The total experience has me wondering just how good a job they did on my roof. If I base the quality of their work on their carpentry work, I have serious concerns. I had researched roofing companies and found Above Roofing with an excellent track record. I can only wonder if their success has brought rapid growth they are not prepared to deal with. There was a serious lack of oversight by management. I was left with the feeling that regardless of having spent $20,000, our job became an afterthought, where they would send a couple stray workers over to put in a few hours work to keep us pacified.

Holiday Decorating reviews from real Angi homeowners in Hastings, MI
Avoid like the Plague! Deposit placed 8/2019 for siding, windows, gutters, and sliding door. Didn’t start on windows till December with no notice (“Hey I have a crew headed to your house right now!”). Many windows were the wrong size or broken. Installed half screens when full were requested...
Initially we hired DeVries decorators to do the outside of our home. Mark came out took measurements and we had a quote in a couple of days. It included a schedule, cost of materials, and provided information about needs for a cherry-lift (multi-story home on a sloping landscape). The...

It’s unnecessary to tip holiday decorators, and most professionals won’t expect it, but it’s a nice gesture to show your appreciation for their work. If the expert goes above and beyond to keep your delicate decorations safe, or they’re hanging your exterior lights and putting out lawn decorations in freezing temperatures or inclement weather, a tip between 10% and 20% of your total will be appreciated. Large jobs that include interior and exterior work are also good opportunities to tip, especially if your expert is performing a rush job close to the holidays.
If you need to visually inspect your Christmas lights to determine which are good and which need replacement, there are a few things to look for. First, look for discoloration, such as a dark spot or two on the inside of the glass. The spot is an indication of a burnt filament. Also, look for missing filaments, cracked bulb glass, and broken sockets.
Christmas lights typically do not need to be grounded like electrical circuits in your home do. However, it's crucial to use outdoor outlets equipped with ground fault circuit interrupters (GFCIs) for added safety. GFCIs can help protect against electrical shocks and are recommended for outdoor electrical connections when using Christmas lights.
The easiest way to hang Christmas lights on your roof is to attach them to your gutters, but there are plenty of user-friendly methods to try. You can use light clips to easily hook Christmas lights to your shingles, eaves, gutters, or soffit. However, using a telescoping pole is a surefire way to ensure your safety while hanging Christmas lights because it doesn’t require using a ladder or climbing onto the roof.
For many people, hiring a holiday decorator is well worth the investment. It’s an especially popular service for homeowners who don’t have the time or capability to decorate their property for the holidays. If you want an upscale holiday—especially if you’re hosting family or friends—then a high-end holiday design and decoration service can be worthwhile to make sure your home stands out and wows your guests.
