When we wanted a price on replacing our roof, I went on-line and set up an appointment for my day off. The company called, and accepted the appointment. The day before the appointment, someone from Hanson's called to confirm the appointment. Their first question was would my wife and I both be at home the next day. I told them that my wife would be at work. All of the sudden, the appointment was a problem. The rep I was speaking to insisted that we both be at home for the appointment. I told the rep that having us both home would be a problem, since my wife was working 6 days a week at the time. On top of that, my wife really didn't care why style or color of shingles I put on the roof, only that the roof didn't leak. The rep continued to insist that we both be home, so an appointment was set for the following Sunday afternoon. Another rep called the prior Saturday to confirm the meeting. Five minutes later, this same rep called back to tell me they could not keep the appointment, since one of their estimators had just called in sick. Another appointment was set for the following Sunday. On Friday afternoon prior to this most recently scheduled appointment, a rep called to confirm the Saturday appointment. By this time, I didn't care if they came or not, and agreed to the Saturday appointment, since it would be my wife's first day off in several weeks. At the appointed time, the estimator showed up, and evaluated the existing roof. He estimated my roof at 40 squares, and was sure to cover up the numbers as he jotted down his calculations. I didn't tell him that I was able to read upside down, and he was crazy if he thought I was going to pay what he was writing down. The moment of truth finally arrived. Thank goodness they were having a half-off sale, because their \"suggested manufacturer's retail price was $34,000 to tear off and replace my roof. But, since they were having a half-off sale, they would do the job for only $16,000 !!! I guess I didn't realize that it was my lucky day. I told the rep that I had only planned on spending about 7 or 8 thousand for a roof, so he quickly called his \"manager\" to go to bat for me. Problem was he told the manager I was only prepared to pay about $13,000 for a roof. Now remember, this was my lucky day !! The manager didn't lower the price, but agreed that I could give the rep a check for $50 to \"hold my price.\" I guess I should have mentioned their website stated their estimated price would be valid for 1 year, but I bit my tongue. My wife asked if the $50 would be refundable if we went with another contractor. Of course, the $50 was non-refundable. Hanson's price was double the price that we accepted from another contractor, even after Hanson's half-off sale !! Needless to say, I won't be singing their little jingle, or calling them for any future business."},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/oh/maumee/hansons-window-and-siding-of-toledo-reviews-418680.htm"},"position":5},{"@type":"ListItem","item":{"@type":"LocalBusiness","name":"LEVIN FURNITURE- Mentor","address":{"@type":"PostalAddress","addressRegion":"MI","addressCountry":"US"},"review":{"@type":"Review","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"MARILYN H."},"reviewBody":"THE YOUNG DELIVERY BOYS TRACKED MUD ON OUR NEW CARPETING FROM FOYER, THROUGH LIVING ROOM TO KITCHEN AND LAUGHED IT ABOUT IT.

We responded to the promotion on TV by JacuzziBathRemodels (JBR) and Arnold's was the contractor who responded to our inquiry. Arnold's representative showed up on time but was never enthusiastic about our needs to have a shower installed, just flat affect. But since they had a good rating...
A few days after the antenna was moved, it blew down while we were on vacation. We got home and noticed it and called them right away on Monday. They came out the next day and took care of the problem!

"Service person came out, diagnosed the problem, replace the pre-amplifier and the amplifier on the TV tower. $340 A few months later we could not get any reception, and could see the wire connection from the antenna to the amplifier was not connected. I called them and emailed them pictures. They told me they would come out and take care of it the next time they were in my area. I called several times over three months, same reply, they would stop the next time they have someone in my area. I am 15 minutes from their business. It`s been six months now, still no show."

"It's been an ongoing nightmare. Watch Communication's unreliable service may work great for a couple of weeks if I'm lucky. It's constantly coming and in and out, sometimes so much that I can't even read my Email. I have got years of excuses from bad weather to interference. I even switched towers and it worked for a while and then went back to being unreliable. They've changed radio systems and made promises of better service to come and yet I am paying a premium price for intermittent service, loss of bandwidth and other problems. All I see is them signing up more people without fixing the system for their existing customers. We're just not talking of a few days of bad, but years of problems. Their service people come out and happily tweak my receiver, which isn't the problem, and then nothing gets better for more than a few days. Yet, I have few options and satellite service is prohibitively expensive. Now that I'm stuck at home, I depend on my Internet service more than ever and it just lets me down again and again. I don't think people can imagine how frustrating it is to know that Watch Communications can provide reliable service if they want to (I've seen it work great for a couple of weeks straight). But they just don't care. I am paying $75.00 a month for bad Internet service. My receiver isn't even far from their tower. I can see it on a clear day."

FAQs for tv antenna equipment service projects in Ottawa Lake, MI
If your TV antenna is good quality and was installed by a professional, you can expect it to last between 10 and 20 years without needing repair or replacement. This can vary based on your geographic location, weather conditions, and antenna location.
TV antennas should be replaced if it’s been bent or physically damaged. It is possible that these can still be repaired. However, the repair won’t be as superior as a repair on a non-damaged antenna. Since repairing an antenna is typically less expensive than replacing it by at least $100, it’s worth trying to save your existing one if possible.
Before investing in a TV antenna repair, there are a few steps you can take to help boost your signal quality. Removing obstacles like tree branches can help improve your signal strength. Along the same line, moving an indoor antenna away from obstacles can also help. These should be near a window, as high as possible. If these steps don’t work, speak with a TV antenna technician about a signal amplifier to help boost your signal even further.
The cost to repair your TV antenna is around $200 for the average homeowner. However, charges could be as low as $60 or as high as $450. Factors such as multidirectional or unidirectional, indoor or outdoor, and amplified or non-amplified all play an essential role in determining the cost of your repair. For example, outdoor antennas cost more on average to repair than indoor ones, much like amplified antennas cost more to repair than unamplified ones.
Before your TV antenna stops working, there are a few ways to tell it’s starting to break. Some common signs that your antenna needs repair include:
A repetitive “no signal” issue
A redundant “searching” issue
Increased signal issues during a cloudy or rainy day
A sudden drop in signal strength, regardless of the weather
If you’re experiencing these problems, you’ll want to ensure that your cables are still in good shape and have not deteriorated. In addition, check to make sure that your cables are firmly in place at the wall outlet. Finally, check the position of your antenna to ensure there are no obstructions in its path. If you’ve checked your antenna thoroughly and are still having these problems, a repair is most likely needed by an antenna technician.
