"Erik and Ian did a wonderful job. In one day they each took a bathroom and transformed my old bathroom into a beautiful new one. They were both very kind and efficient. I would recommend Erik and Ian to anyone wanting a beautiful bathroom. Thank you both very much. Joyce Ziegler"
"We had water coming in thru our garage leaking into our basement crawl space. We had Marc and Steven out to help us out. They did a great job of explaining the process and made sure any question we had were answered."
"I hired Neli over a week period for 3 different appliances, my dryer, washing machine, dishwasher, and even kitchen sink! I had a fantastic experience: 1. I fixed my dryer with Thomas' excellent remote guidance, changing the timer and the switch! Fabulous guidance Thomas, with lots of money saved! I learned a lot in the process. 2. I determined that there was no dishwasher leak and in the process learned how to check for leaks and trouble shoot for some common repair issues. It cost $40.00 but as I had some water on the floor, I was ready to get a new dishwasher. Now, I am confident that it wasn't a leak and caused by putting in the dishes in a funny manner and not a repair issue. I am using the dishwasher now again with no problem. 3. I determined with Thomas' help that the washing machine had a major problem and could have spun out of control into my wall....no question, it was time to get a new washing machine! This was a well spent $40.00--I even got Thomas advice on purchasing a new washing machine and what to look for. 4. I checked the drainage on my kitchen sink and learned how to empty out the "trap" and that most likely, I am okay, but what to swap out if I have continuing issues with slow drainage. In the end, I saved lots of money, gaining and learning valuable experience! Absolutely fabulous service!"
"One structure in the form of a arbor with a gate completed our fence. The other structure a small deck outside of the lower sliding glass doors, with a pergola added, gives a quiet shady respite to the yard. We also had Hal design and build a fountain feature added to the garden area itself. Which gives a soft and flowing water sound near the small deck. The work overall is outstanding with a very finished look. It was also accomplished as per estimate of time and cost. They were very considerate to make the work space neat and clean each day at finish time.
We would "highly" recommend these contractors to anyone wanting this type of excellent yard work done. "
"It went very well. Despite the fact that I live in Tennessee and this company is in Boston, they helped me a great deal. I can't remember what I actually paid them, but it seemed reasonable for what I got: unlimited access to the decorator's assistance. I had already chosen some of the elements needed for my bathroom remodel, but got bogged down over colors/curtains/light fixtures at the end. I just needed some help in tying everything together. Their decorator (Amanda Zettel) and I worked mainly through Pinterest; I made a board of my bathroom, using pictures of what I'd chosen already, and she sent me links to items that she thought I would like in categories that I needed. We also talked over the phone several times, and emailed, too. I believe Homemade Design will also help you with vendors and purchasing, though I didn't use that service. Amanda did send me to some new websites, and I chose my bathroom lights from one of them. Amanda helped me choose the finish, the shades, and the placement of the fixtures, which I love. They are unique and charming - thanks, Amanda! She also sent me several names of paint colors to chose from for the bath. Because of the variations in computer screen colors, some people might not be comfortable with this, but I wanted to be the one who actually picked the color. I just felt a little overwhelmed at the huge selection, so Amanda was able to narrow my choices to a range that I could live with. The color has been up on my wall for over a month now, and I'm very happy with it. All in all, this was a very good experience, and I will definitely use Jeff and Amanda's help again!"
"Everything went perfect! The workers were very professional, very nice, and kept everything spotless! I am very happy with the performance of the furnace and central air. I highly recommend Kaduce Heating and Plumbing. Thanks again Kaduce!"

The lifespan of bathroom pipes is between 20 and 100 years. This is a wide range, so to narrow it down, it helps to know which type of material your pipes are made from. Copper and cast iron have the longest lifespan—between 50 and 100 years—while other materials, such as galvanized steel and brass, last for 50 years or less.
Plumbers typically install and run gas lines. While most qualified local plumbers can handle this job, you might consider hiring a natural gas line plumber who specializes in this work. Before starting any project, it's best to check with your local utility company. They can offer recommendations for licensed plumbers who are authorized to pull permits and ensure the installation is done correctly. Regardless of who you hire, always verify that they have the proper licenses and credentials for working with gas lines.
A toilet flapper will remain open when the chain that it is connected to is too short. The chain should lift the flapper just enough to allow it to open the rest of the way on its own. The chain should have just about half an inch of slack.
You can start the process to set up utilities before closing on a new current property, but most companies won’t turn on electricity or gas until after the closing date. You’ll also need proof of ownership to get things going. The best way to do this is to contact the utility company as soon as possible and keep them up to date on the sale status. We recommend making contact one or two weeks before the closing date.
Older faucet fixtures may have some corrosion, leaving them stuck. Try a few techniques to loosen the fixtures.
Wrap the fixture with a towel and tap the base with a hammer.
Use a putty knife to gently remove any caulk that may be holding the handle or fixture in place.
Apply a few drops of penetrating oil around the base of the fixture or around the nuts.
Purchase a faucet pulling tool to pop the fixture loose.
