"James is a real pro you came to my house with a mask on put on paper shoes so you would not damage my carpet and had my smart nest thermostat installed within 30 minutes up and running. I would never hesitate to hire him again. Very polite"
"Smooth sailing from start to finish. The workman (Andy) came to my home on a Tuesday morning (8am sharp) to clean the gutters and power-wash the deck, and then returned on Thursday morning (8am sharp) to apply the deck stain. He helped me choose which type and color of stain would be most effective and durable, then did a careful job with the work and cleaned up everything afterward. My formerly faded, shabby-looking deck now looks brand new again."
"Joe was fantastic in resolving these repairs at my mother's 100 year old house. Working through a federal program for funding, Joe provided the estimate quickly and within budget. He was able to find era-appropriate flooring for the porch. He also installed much safer handrails on the steps up from the street to the porch and corrected the unsafe side entry by installing a sturdy platform and step. I will hire him for any of the items I need done at mom's or my house. Thanks Joe and crew."

"We had an appointment for 8am Monday. Stephen showed up around 8:20am. He was very polite, and did his best to fix our garage door opener. Unfortunately, after about 30 minutes of trying to get it to work, it was concluded that the motor had gone bad on the unit and was overheating. Stephen told me he would happily install a new opener that we could purchase through a big box store, or he could provide us with a slightly higher quality version, and he quoted us for 3 different units. We selected the cheapest one, which was a higher quality version of what had gone bad, and he immediately called his supplier to see if he could get it right away. Thankfully, one was in stock and he was able to arrange to come back first thing Tuesday morning (8am). At approx. 8:25am on Tuesday morning, he texted to let me know he would be arriving by 9am. He came, installed the new opener, and by 10:30am everything was complete. He was very professional. He did NOT charge me for Monday's visit. The total cost of the project was $400 cash. (He gave me a discount since I could pay cash.) I have a WONDERFUL opener, and in addition to the LiftMaster warranty, EZHawk will warranty the opener. If I have any problems within the next three years, I need only call Stephen, and he will take care of it. Stephen took the old unit with him, and I put the packaging from the new unit into my trash bin after he left. It took all of 30 seconds to grab it from the corner of my garage. Thanks Stephen, for getting our garage door opening and closing again! I appreciate your time, and highly recommend you to anyone needing this service!"
"I purchased a Big Deal for 4 hours for $99.00. The deal expired, but Terry Harder agreed to extend the deal for me. He sent 2 men to install the crown molding. They did an excellent job. Everything was well done. They were a little late in arriving but called me twice to make me aware. I'm totally satisfied and highly recommend them. Terry was also a pleasure to deal with. "
"Todd Morrissey gave me a quote by email after I emailed him with dimensions and photos of the powder room. The work included the removal of the old flooring and toilet and installation of the new flooring that we provided along with the reinstall of the toilet. The quote was reasonable for the work that needed to be done. Todd gave me a date for installation based upon my availability. Todd and his helper Dave showed up on time and finished the job in one day. We are pleased with the results."
Many people have reported success in using dryer sheets to deter mice. This result is likely due to the strong scent that the rodents don’t find favorable. However, using dryer sheets alone may not be a foolproof solution, and it's often better to combine various preventive measures, such as traps, repellent sprays, and proper storage practices, to protect your car from rodent infestations more effectively.
Squirrels tend to forage, traveling along roof and fence lines. To trap a squirrel, placing a baited trap on the roof near the point of entry is the best option. If you can see them going in and out or recognize the damage they might be causing to the exterior of your home, you can also try placing traps near those locations.
Using audio and visual methods to discourage birds might work initially, but birds tend to acclimate to them over time. While chemical deterrents can show some effectiveness, their results can be inconsistent. Some may dissipate too quickly, and there's a risk they might cause unintended damage to your surroundings. Additionally, birds might become immune or resistant to the impact of such treatments.
Yes, in some cases if your damper is left open, animals can come down your chimney. In these instances, it’s more likely that they have fallen in while looking for a safe spot rather than entered your house intentionally. Leaving your damper closed or installing a chimney cap can prevent animals from coming inside.
Wasps tend to be more aggressive and defensive than bees. Both will sting to defend themselves or their colony or nest. But many bees have barbed stingers, which means they can’t pull them out of the skin after stinging, allowing them to sting only once. When provoked, wasps can sting multiple times, making them a more menacing pest.
