To be specific, Ward did a great job with the mudding and patching of our wall after removal of a medicine cabinet. He also did a good job re-adhering our above microwave cabinet to the wall and installing a new doorbell. Unfortunately, there's a longer list of items we are not as pleased with: 1) He installed a mailbox door and did not make sure it was level 2) He attempted to do some patchwork on our ceiling and we had to pay the painter to fix it as it was a bigger eye sore than it was to begin with (yet he still charged us for it) 3) He installed a layer of tiling in our shower surround which was not flush with the other tile work (he did come back to remedy this but it is still not completely flush) 4) When hanging our TV & Mount, he scratched the surface of our dresser and attempted to cover it up though it is still visible 5) He completed projects that were not on our list and charged us for them (some landscape step repair). Overall, Ward is a very nice guy and charges at a fair rate. I would recommend him only for projects you are certain he is comfortable with covering. His attention to detail / quality is not at the same level as mine and my husbands and that is precisely why we would not go with him again. If based on character however, Ward is a really nice guy.
In response to Ward's on May 2nd: My review was not meant to be intentionally harsh. Rather, it was meant to use Angies List for the purpose it was intended for. My review was truthful. My husband and I were quite frustrated with the quality of work for all of the reasons stated in my review. I can certainly respond to all of my comments listed above and Ward's outreach to me after the review (with pictures as evidence) but I question the purpose. It is clear that Ward strives to satisfy his customers and I am sorry we were not able to give him a review that is consistent with many of his other reviews.

If I want to go and buy a 100 feet of coaxial cable, I'm not sure where I could go and buy that except for Radio Shack. So that is usually the kind of thing I buy. They had an ad for an antenna and the price was reasonable. I don't have anything bad to say about it. I've bought a lot of stuff from them over the years and most of it has been good. Their price is usually in a reasonable range, but they aren't a discount store. They are pretty much at the market level.

"He called right away and explained clearly our options for addressing the computer problems we had. I made my choice of going with a full maintenance which was very reasonable and he immediately began working on the problem and resolved in an hour remotely. He noted if they found there was a need for different virus software he would let us know.
He provided recommendations on software we had that was not needed and may cause problems and gave some good general tips. He deleted the unnecessary software and noted that the Windows operating software now has these features built in. He did not feel we needed to purchase any different virus software. I appreciated that he was patient, and not pushy or judgmental. He truly helped. Thanks Rahsan. "

FAQs for tv antenna equipment service projects in Lake Elmo, MN
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.
