"Terrible experience spent so much money with a guaranteed warranty for accepted job only to find he wasn't so nice and polite once I pointed out issues with incoming water issues remain the same, as if no work had been done. His own worker told me alone in private "I told him more should have been done." Joseph Safie aka Joey Safie works under Licensed Number 2102196780, which is SAS Services, Inc. - Don't let him scream at you when you have a warranty problem or bully you telling you that you have the wrong company, review the license on contract.

"We recently have two houses reroofed, everything was done in a very timely manner, roofing crew was very professional in every way. When Dan Roger’s and his partner, Joe, came to finish the interior trim on the skylights, he was dissatisfied with the initial installation and requested Paramont to allow him to remove them and have them reinstalled correctly. Dan and Joe did an outstanding job with this and we couldn`t be more pleased with the results. We would highly recommend Paramont to anyone."

"Overall, i was very impressed with the professionalism and skilled work performed by the owner Tim and his crew. The moment I called to get a quote, I knew I had made the right decision. Tim was very courteous, professional and accommodating. I was able to schedule a visit for my home the next day. The day of the quote I was very surprised to get a call from Tim saying that he was on the way and he gave me an estimated time of arrival. Right after I greeted him at my door, he put on some shoe covers before he set foot into my house. I was extremely impressed with this action. Tim then proceeded to inspect the inside of my chimney, the basement portion of my chimney, the outside portion of the chimney that was covered within my garage and the portion of the chimney that was above the roof. He told me that the chimney portion that was outside and above the roof was the only part that need to be replaced. He said there were a lot of broken and missing bricks and the chimney did not have a cap. He said the inside of the chimney and the outside of the chimney within the garage and the base of the chimney in the basement looked really good and didn't need any repair. However, he did say that the damper inside the chimney needed to be replaced, especially since it easily fell off in his hand. He suggested installing a damper above the chimney cap with a chain inside the chimney and anchored near the indoor fireplace door for easy access. His quote was extremely reasonable and within my budget. His honesty and professionalism is what set him apart from the 4 other chimney repair quotes I had received. I scheduled to have my chimney repaired a few weeks later. Since I was planning to have my roof replaced, Tim suggested that I get a date for that first then call him to schedule a date for the chimney repair. Once the roof date was set, Tim and his crew came a few days before and repaired my chimney. On the scheduled day for the chimney repair, Tim called me to say he was on the way and gave an estimated time of arrival. Tim and his crew immediately began tearing down the chimney. I had to leave my house right after they arrived so I didn't get to watch the whole procedure. However, a few minutes later, I did get a call from Tim saying that they discovered carpenter ants behind the chimney next to the roof eaves. He said I needed to call a pest control company. Other than that, Tim said everything was going well. The first things I noticed when I came back home was the finished chimney with the new cap and the new bricks that closely matched the color of the remaining bricks that didn't need to be replaced. The chimney looked absolutely perfect! Tim and his crew were still there cleaning up any brick debris when I arrived. Tim told me that he had forgotten to order the damper earlier and that it would arrive in a few days; He was very apologetic for this He said that the charge would be removed from the work that was done today. He said that once he received the damper, he would install the damper and only charge me for the part and not the labor. A few days later, Tim called to schedule a date to install the damper and once again he called to give an estimated time of arrival. Tim and his crew did a fantastic job repairing my chimney. I would definitely call B & G Masonry again for any future repairs or if I needed a new chimney."

"We had a very disappointing experience with Randazzo Heating & Cooling. A technician came out and claimed a part in our AC unit was broken, quoting us over $700 for the replacement. After the part was installed, the AC still didn’t work. He then said the issue was due to low R22 refrigerant, but also told us that they no longer carry R22 because it's outdated. His solution? Replace the entire unit — at a cost of over $7,000. We end up find someone else to fix the AC. Unfortunately, the $700+ we already paid Randazzo was completely wasted. This experience felt like upselling and misdiagnosis, and we would not recommend this company to anyone looking for honest or competent service."

I called several company's in the area on Wednesday and Kam from Goyette arrived and gave me a wonderful quote and explained everything about the new system that I would be getting. During the Covid-19 ordeal Goyette came out Thursday morning to install my new system. The technicians arrived at the time I was given, Job and Kyle were the two gentlemen that arrived at my home . The first thing they did was to come in put down tarps to keep my home clean and inspected the area of the furnace and the area outside where the new condenser would be placed. They completed the job in a very timely manner, cleaned up the area where they were working, inspected the system to make sure it was running correctly and then explained the new components to me in detail. They installed and new thermostat programmed it and explained to me how it works and the programming for it.

Chimney Caps questions, answered by experts

The most common defect in a flat roof is leaking. Flat roofs have minimal slope, so water pools more readily on a flat roof than on a sloped roof, and the risk of the waterproof membrane failing increases with exposure. Tears and punctures from foot traffic and blown debris are other common problems, especially with single-ply roofing membranes like TPO and EPDM roofs.

Copper roofs last an average of around 100 years, making it one of the longest-lasting types of roofs. It’s significantly more expensive than an asphalt shingle roof, but it also lasts three to four times as long, providing great value for the money. You can extend the life of your copper roof by carrying out routine maintenance, like scheduling annual cleaning and roof inspections.

It is not always necessary to put wood stripping (also called furring strips) under a metal roof, but some metal roofs require stripping to work efficiently. For example, you must use furring strips when installing metal over shingles in order to connect the shingles to the metal roofing. These strips are made of metal or wood. They create thermal breaks and provide a solid frame to which you can attach the metal roofing. A lack of wood stripping can cause condensation issues under certain roofs, so use the roofing manufacturer’s specifications as your guide.

Chimney caps have a solid top but perforated sides so smoke can exit safely. If rain or snow falls downward, chimney caps can protect the chimney’s interior. Just note that if rain or snow blows in sideways, there’s a higher likelihood it will enter the chimney—but it's not often a cause for concern as long as you have a cap.

The best roof for added home value depends heavily on your area, including the quality and appeal of nearby homes, your climate, and the local market. A metal roof usually costs more than asphalt shingles, but you’ll also typically see a higher ROI. Consider neighborhood trends and norms, upfront costs, and curb appeal when deciding which roof is best for boosting home value.
