Mr. Graham came right away for the check as he lives not far from me. He promised to have a crew come over as soon as they had a non-snow day. Those promises continued despite repeated calls to his office. 13 months later, with a big blue tarp over our foyer and 4 pans collecting dripping water, my AAA Insurance rep advised me to just file a claim and let the insurance company go after R Graham Construction through subrogation. Of course, now the problem is much bigger. There are large stains on the drywall and the wall must be opened up to inspect the insulation. Wet drywall and wet insulation can lead to black mold which can be a very serious health threat. I have submitted many positive reviews to Angie's List and in all my years as a member, this if the first negative review I have submitted. Mr. Graham clearly dropped the ball here and does not deserve your trust or business.

"Hunter does phenomenal work.

Kenmore Vacuum Repair questions, answered by experts
The average cost for central vacuum cleaner repair is $310, though prices can range from $120 to $500. Your total cost will depend on the type of repair needed and the type of central vacuum you own.
A minor motor repair, like lubrication, only costs around $50. However, if you need to replace your motor, you’ll be looking at a much higher price tag with a total of $100 to $500. Other fixes, like electrical work, are charged by the hour, which ranges from $15 to $55per hour.
No. Only the hose or the attachments are portable in a central vacuum system. A portable vacuum is a standalone model like a stick, canister, or upright. A central vacuum system is defined by a central power unit, which is installed in one place like an AC unit, and the connected network of piping to funnel the suction.
They’ll use more electricity than the average upright vacuum, but not remarkably more. Most power units plug into a standard 120-volt outlet and don’t have significant power demands. You shouldn’t notice an increase in electricity bills. If you have any specific questions about energy costs, ask your installer as you examine purchase decisions. Larger power units will need more electricity for their suction levels.
Most home warranties cover either home appliances or home systems, and some cover both. Appliance packages will usually include protection for all kitchen appliances, like refrigerators, ovens, stoves, built-in microwaves, and dishwashers, with some covering washing machines and dryers. Systems-only plans normally cover the plumbing, electrical, and HVAC systems, as well as most of the components. Combination plans cover the major appliances in addition to home systems.
While caulking is handy for quite a bit of jobs, it’s still limited. Any crack or gap larger than 1/4 inch is best left for a more intensive repair job. When you hire house painters, they should run a thorough check to see what they need to repair before they start the job.
Large repairs that caulking typically won’t do well with include cracks or holes larger than a 1/4 inch, rotted wood, or metal surfaces, such as garage doors.
