Professionals typically have over 10 years of experience, are background checked, bonded and insured. They arrive in clearly marked company vehicles, in uniform, and guarantee their workmanship. Credentials can be verified with google reviews and official websites. Rates for professionals often run between $120-$160 per hour. Many reputable companies will now offer fixed rate pricing based on the task or scope of work, no matter how long it takes to complete the work.</p></div>

Great to deal with, easy to get ahold of. Always had answers and suggestions of the correct way he would do it if it were for himself. Always answered phone calls or texts immediately if I had questions about the work he was doing to my home. 10/10 would recommend Weiss home solutions to anyone.

Awesome work for a reasonable price. Mason and Tony were communicative and prompt with all services rendered. A larger company quoted me 5 days to complete the remodel in my house but Calypso got it done in half that time and followed up with me after. Can't recommend enough. Thanks guys!
