"These guys did good job with my crawl space. They had to remove a lot of very moldy insulation in space that was crawl only height. They showed up when they said, confirmed and best of all the price was reasonable. Prices were all over for this job and while theirs was most affordable, the work was well done. Professional and trustworthy. They were also competent, efficient and came with the needed respirator, and Tyvek suit to handle this toxic job. Thanks JImmie!"

"John was very professional in his initial presentation regarding the roof coupon we bought on Angie's List.   We subsequently decided to go ahead and use his company for the other services listed above.  Since this review entailed more than the initial Angie's List Coupon, the contractor indicated that he would email me how to break out the Angie's List review into separate jobs, but did not and so it is all combined.
Roof 1.The crew was unfriendly and very sloppy- we had nails and single material left on our driveway and gutters- we paid for a home inspector to inspect the work - the resulting report indicated that the industry standard requires a  space between the garage roof and the house siding and that this was not done properly - when we brought it to the attention of the contractor he readily agreed to fix the situation.  The correction required flashing and a gap increase which was done by shortening the siding and roof shingles in that area.  That work was uneven and required 2 additional trips, one to correct the uneven line and one to paint the exposed edges.
2. Siding replacement -  we had the contractor and his crew back to our house or on the phone at least 4 or more times to  give additional estimates for rotten siding.-we incorrectly assumed that all the major areas of damage would have been noted by the contractor and included on the original bid for the job.  Some areas required up to 10-15 new boards.   These additional areas cost several hundred additional dollars.
3.  House painting, deck pressure washing and stain, siding repair, and wood repair - I gave the wood repair of my front porch and my windows an A 
House preparation for painting - the pressure washing was done without any regard for covering my foundation landscaping and there was damage done by the clorox as evaluated by Davey Tree -  the painters also broke several limbs off an existing 2 store pine tree,  2azaleas, and a mature butterfly bush.  The owner would have agreed for the tree to be cut back off the garage wall but the other damage was just sloppy work.
The house overall looks very nice - A  
 The problems with the painters were over the top with them arguing with us at several points in the project. They painted the actual window panes from a lack of taping and/or skill and they painted into several of the window tracks that caused difficulty getting the windows up and down. The painters also sprayed fresh paint 4-5 feet onto both sides of the garage roofing.  We had to bring all these problems to the contractor's attention rather then him monitoring his crew.  The problems were satisfactorily corrected, but the exterior projects took weeks and weeks to complete.
4.  The deck was not pressured washed before the new stain was applied and the owner brought this to the attention of the contractor as well as the lead painter, before the first stroke of stain was applied.  The contractor agreed it was not done.  They did not want to remove the stain and offered to replace the deck floor, which they did, but it was not in bad shape to begin with.  The owner withheld $500 from the final payment for the completion of the deck power washing and restraining.  
5.  Rehanging the cabinets and doors - A  
Recently discovered problem - the painters used our gas and offered to refill the gas tank which we thought they had done.  This spring when this owner filled the riding mower with that gas, it completely stopped running within a few minutes.  The service call of $149  indicated that the mower had a gas tank full of water.  There would have been no way the water was the fault of the owner as the mower had been stored inside the garage after mowing season, which was before the painters completed their work. I notified the contractor of this situation in addition to the damaged landscaping.  Four weeks ago I gave him two weeks to respond and as of this writing he has not.
The contractor is a very nice person and easy to deal with, but does not oversee his subs. We had the contractor's word, before signing the contract, that he was hands on and would be on site often to monitor his crews.  The only time he came on site was if we called.

"Mr. Ross arrived early for the appointment.  He was very professional and courteous.  It is hard to find where water is coming in, especially if it is not there for you to see.  He examined the basement and I described the situation.  He replaced the downspout and filled the ground with six bags of rocks.  However, there was another rain and I discovered water was still coming in the basement.  He immediately came out and because I left the water on the floor, he could see that it was merely water that was coming in around the sides of the door and then repaired it.  That night there was a heavy rain, but there was no water in the basement.  Job was completed and the cost was very reasonable.  I plan to use him when I locate to my new home.  I have already given referrals to my friends.

Lead Testing and Removal questions, answered by experts

Structural problems with the foundation or roof, water damage, and significant plumbing or electrical issues are all considered major red flags in a home inspection. Of these, a structural problem related to the foundation is often the most severe. Foundation repairs are typically the most expensive and intrusive to carry out, averaging around $5,000 but sometimes reaching up to $16,000. Because these problems can pose safety risks and be costly to fix, you should ask your inspector detailed questions about any identified issues. You will need to carefully consider how major problems affect what you’re willing to pay for the home, or if you want to proceed with the sale at all.

According to the EPA, there is no safe level of lead in the blood, and so the maximum contaminant level goal (MCLG) for lead in water is zero. Even at low levels, lead is harmful to human health. It can also remain in the body and build up over time with repeated exposure.

Professional testing for lead paint costs about $300, ranging from about $250 to $700, depending on the square footage, accessibility, and location. However, testing for lead paint with a DIY home-testing kit costs about $25, but doesn’t guarantee accurate results. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recommends using a lead test kit that complies with the Lead Renovation, Repair, and Painting (RRP) Rule, which has strict criteria for ensuring a more accurate reading.

Common home surfaces to test for lead include:

  • Walls

  • Windows

  • Doors

  • Molding and trim

  • Railings

DIY lead testing kits are available, but they often lack the accuracy and reliability of professional services. Professional testing is recommended for more accurate results, as properly certified testers can provide a thorough analysis, clear recommendations, and the necessary legal documentation if remediation is required.

Professionals use specialized equipment and techniques to detect asbestos, radon, and VOCs.
