Great company. Had a supplemental beam installed and encapsulation done several years ago. Matt and Josh were out today for an annual inspection and to replace the filters in the dehumidifier. Very happy with their work!

From start to finish Dan Dale stayed in constant communication with me during the whole process. On the day of install they where on time and installed the fence in one day. They did an excellent job and left nothing after the end of the project. Would recommend them to my whole family.

Extremely happy with installation of my tankless hot water heater. John and Joshua were very professional and explained the install completely. I would recommend A1 to all that are looking for this type of work as well as the technicians.

Quick response time. I wanted them to just drop the tree, which they did, but they also cut it up in firewood size pieces and stacked it for me. They must have seen my fire pit. They did an excellent job cleaning up. Except for one less tree and the stack of fire wood, you wouldn't even know...

Fire Pit Installation questions, answered by experts

Regular inspections, battery replacements, and testing alarms help maintain reliability.

Fire doors are constructed to have certain resistance levels regarding fire. A traditional door can typically resist fire for less than one minute, whereas fire doors can resist it for 30 to 120 minutes, depending on the fire door rating. Fire doors give you and your family a better chance of safely escaping during a fire than standard doors.

After a house fire, you should not reenter your home unless the fire crew has told you it’s safe to do so. In the longer term, you should not attempt to make repairs to the house on your own. Professional crews are trained to clean up after a fire (including smoke and soot damage), dry out any water damage from the firefighter crews, and make the necessary structural, plumbing, and electrical repairs—and this is all likely covered by insurance.

No, you can’t completely fireproof a house. There is always a chance that a fire can break out inside or outside your home. Even if most of the home is built with fireproof materials, a long-burning fire can still cause damage. Still, fireproofing efforts can buy you additional time to evacuate and give you a better chance of salvaging your home after a fire rather than needing to rebuild entirely.

A fireplace hearth is necessary in most areas per building codes, especially for gas and wood-burning fireplaces. Electric fireplaces may not require a hearth, so check local building codes or ask a pro for guidance if you’re leaning toward electric. A fireplace hearth can decrease the risk of flying embers creating a fire and burning your home down. That’s why fireproof material, like tile, is used for the hearth.
