"This company is absolutely fantastic! Tony is so professional and a really great guy. He bid me a price for some work that turned out to be much more complicated than originally thought. He did not try and increase his price and did the work for the pre-determined rate. In addition, I had a tv he was supposed to hang that was brand new in the box. When he opened it, he discovered the screen was shattered. I was able to return the tv and he is coming back out on a separate trip to hang it. He has really gone above and beyond. I cannot recommend him more highly."

The modern suburban and small town home of today has become an ideal lightning target. The home owner would do well to recognize lightning for the destructive force that it is and protect against this major life and fire hazard. Donohue's Lightning Rods is based in Missouri, near the factory where most of the residential and commercial lightning rod supplies are manufactured. Jim travels regularly to Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas, Missouri, Kansas, Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, and New York. Call today to find out when Jim will be in your area. For installations outside Missouri, Kansas, or Texas, Jim waits until there are a few customers lined up, thus being able to provide the same quality services at affordable prices. **WE DO NOT DO ELECTRICAL SERVICES.** (ONLY LIGHTNING RODS)

"The job was beautifully and professionally done. I have a zero scape yard and the gentleman was concerned about disturbing the gravel when putting the rod into the ground. WOW!!!!"

We started in 1976, to provide quality and assurance to always satisfy the customer. We guarantee all of our work, and our employees deliver this proud craftsmanship. We also offer 24 hour emergency service. With a live answering service to take your calls, we have owners and electricians that are on standby around the clock.

"I really wanted to have a good experience with Reinhold. We’ve used them in the past and they did good work, we thought… recently our garage’s power stopped working, which is fed by a panel on the pole that they installed in August of 2022. We NEVER had a single electrical issue until after that pole was installed which is starting to make sense. A few months ago we began having electrical issues in our house, so we called Reinhold because we thought they did a good job when installing the pole that fell in 2022. The technicians that were out to see what the cause of the electrical issues in the house were said that the lines under ground were corroded (which may have been true), so we accepted to let them fix it. They hand dug by the electric pole, buried conduit and ran new wire to the house and everything seemed to be fine until we recently started having issues with the electric in our garage. The location where they dug and buried the conduit for the wire going to the house is in a very close location to where the conduit goes for the wires going from the pole to the garage. I called for an estimate and was told $5,000 worse case scenario which may be understandable considering that would include cutting asphalt, trenching, new conduit, new wire and labor so I get that. Upon receiving this news I decided to just take care of it myself. I went to the building department for our county to take the test to do residential electric work, paid for the permit to be pulled, had everything cleared with Missouri 811 incase I needed to dig and bought $700 worth of new wire. I pulled the old wire, saw that there was a break in the wire due to corrosion from water getting in the conduit underground so I started digging right where the conduit meets the pole that Reinhold installed just to see if there was a break in the conduit. Sure enough, there’s a small section of conduit that was crudely placed over where the old conduit underground is and the new conduit where they installed the pole. They had it lightly wrapped in what looks like some kind of landscape fabric (thought it was electrical tape at first). So there was no protection in the conduit against water getting in which was what caused the wire to corrode to the point of no longer working. Mind you, Reinhold is THE ONLY company we’ve had at our house for electrical work since owning the house. When I saw this piece of conduit being very improperly “connected”, I took pictures, and videos and sent them to the estimator who came out to give me a quote for fixing the electrical issue in the garage. He said he would give me a call back after speaking with the technicians that were there more recently to fix the electrical issue with the house as well as the ones who installed the pole in August of 2022. After speaking with them he said that none of them claimed to do that and that their technicians would never do something like that and all these denials of my claim. He then told me that he could come out and fix it for $500-$600 FOR A 3” LONG SECTION OF CONDUIT THAT NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED FROM THEIR PREVIOUS WORK. I am not the type to ask for free stuff from ANYONE, I’m incredibly happy to pay for good service by good people and I thought that’s what we were doing with Reinhold until yesterday. They completely denied the fact that their technicians made a mistake, and didn’t offer to fix the issue or anything. I was told that all of the technicians that have been on our property did not do it and that it would be $500-$600 to fix something they installed incorrectly. I understand if a technician didn’t remember every little detail from a job they did in 2022, but there is no integrity or accountability on their part with this issue. It was either done in 2022 when the new pole was installed or a few months ago when the new wire was put in with new conduit by REINHOLD."

We are the experts in the field of Whole Home Generator Sales and Installation, with over 20 years of experience in the game. We provide turn-key installation by licensed professionals - 24 hour emergency service - Remote Monitoring - Long term maintenance and service by factory trained technicians.

"They initially contacted me via email ready to make a visit for the install. Said that they could do the project no problem. Then when they realized I wouldn’t be buying a generator from them, which I had TOLD them upfront, they canceled on me. That is not an acceptable way to do business. They should simply state that they only install generators that they sell and not waste my time."

There is so much to tell about Auto Art Collision and Restoration Shop, it’s hard to know where to begin. Have you ever heard the old saying, “If you find a job you like, you will never work a day in your life?” That statement is the essence of Auto Art. Well, that and proper training, positive attitudes, giving back to the community, and doing a great job every time! We are a collision and restoration shop filled with people who love what they do. We all come from different walks of life with wildly varying backgrounds. Our common denominator is we all want to be here doing what we do to make Auto Art the dynamic business it has become over the last 30 years. Everyone at Auto Art is dedicated to our industry in a way that’s hard to accept is factual. We have heated debates about Mopar vs. Ford (Chevy, Nissan, BMW, etc). Our shop is always alive with discussions about our industry and repair techniques. We have genuine, heartfelt, regret for our whole industry when we uncover substandard work from another shop. We are men and woman who really care about the work we perform. It is at our core, and we radiate it in our approach from answering the phone to repairing or modifying your vehicle. Auto Art works on all cars, trucks and SUV’s no matter the manufacturer. We have worked with every major insurance company and hundreds you probably haven’t heard of. Fonz Leaning on JukeboxMany auto body shops work on either restorations or collision work. We proudly do both. We have technicians trained to handle anything you can throw at us from a brand new model year vehicle or one of the first vehicles ever manufactured. Auto Art can properly repair just about anything a manufacturer has ever dreamed up. For over 30 years Auto Art has been building it’s reputation backed by a “No questions asked warranty.” When it comes to doing things right, we give you straight forward, honest answers, so you know what to expect. We don’t cut corners, and we can sleep at night knowing every vehicle that has left our shop was repaired properly with no compromises. Bill Anselmo has a phrase to sum up any questions a technician has when repairing a vehicle, “Fix it like its yours!” Put us to the test, stop by the shop anytime and talk cars with us. We bet you’re hard pressed to find a group of people more happily rooted in what they love to do. Simply put, Auto Art has impeccable references and a long standing reputation for quality work backed up by pride in a job well done. Auto Art is very active in the community, not only the historic Hill neighborhood, but also surrounding St. Louis area neighborhoods, lending support to many charities and events all year round.

"Doug provided a free evaluation and estimate, then completed all of the work very quickly once scheduled. Customer services with Summit Electric is top notch! Everyone was personable and friendly. Doug had his work cut out for him on that vent hood (who designs these things? not easy!) but within a short time, he had repaired that perfectly, fixed all of the issues with our can lights (including replacing a switch and trouble-shooting a problematic fixture), and replaced the sump pump outlet as well. He was super friendly, explained everything as he went through the work, and worked very quickly. Far more economical than the bloated estimates from the "big guys" in town and absolutely stellar service. I will definitely hire Summit Electric for all of my future electrical needs."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

Whole-house generators can last 20 to 40 years with normal operation and proper maintenance. If you look up the specifications for your generator, you may be able to find a lifespan rated in hours of operation. Life expectancy will vary depending on how often and for how long you use the generator each year. Choosing a fuel with low impact like natural gas or diesel can help generators last as long as possible.

An undersized whole-house generator has the potential to overheat and shut down when you try to run a central AC system. This scenario can not only damage the whole-house generator, but can also trip your home’s breakers or cause electrical damage. To avoid this situation, hire a local generator installer to correctly size your whole-house generator.

It is safe to run a generator continuously, but you must follow safety protocols to ensure personal and home safety. Read the manufacturer’s instructions for specific recommendations, but the general recommendation is to turn generators off overnight or when you’re away from the house. Overworked generators can pose a fire hazard and if your generator is not in a well-ventilated area, running it continuously could lead to carbon monoxide poisoning.

While the rating will tell you how many watts the refrigerator needs at the peak of its cycle, it requires additional wattage to start. At the bare minimum, you’ll need a 1,500-watt generator to get the fridge up and running after a blackout. A 2,000-watt generator should be sufficient for most home refrigerators.

When maintained properly, a whole-house generator can last up to 20 years. Costs to maintain and repair generators vary by location and type of generator, but you can expect to pay about $150 to $300 per year for annual generator maintenance checks. An experienced generator service technician will inspect your generator’s engine filter, starting mechanism, fuel, lubrication, and coolant levels to keep your generator in good working condition for as long as possible.
