"Yellow Dot Heating and Air Conditioning has provided more than a half a dozen service calls in six weeks on a Trane heat pump they installed as subcontractor for Lowe's Companies.   System is still under warranty.  On 29 May 2015 Yellow Dot installed a new TXV Valve under the warranty, but charged owner for labor ($743.91) or approximately $300 per hour for the 2.5 hours spent on the repair.  Technician told owner he was told to charge owner $743.91 and recommended owner call service manager, Keith Green if owner had any questions.  Service manager, Keith Green did not answer his phone and failed to return calls of inquiry regarding the labor fee charged.  On 31 May, heat pump system failed again (seventh time in less than 6 weeks).  During attempted repairs it was revealed that multiple improper installation procedures were followed (no water catchment pan safety switch installed, drain pipe installed backwards, broken parts, etc.).  Yellow Dot has yet to determine proper diagnosis of system failures and is attempting to charge owner for diagnosis of problems they failed to properly install or fix when the system failed.

Updated 6/25/15:  It has been three weeks now without an air conditioner breakdown.  The most since Yellow Dot installed a safety cutoff switch in September 2014 to prevent the air conditioner from continuing to run if water in the catchment pan rose to overflowing. 
As I promised Yellow Dot I am updating this review to reflect their fixing the problem.  Thank you to Trane technicians and Lowe's (prime contractor whole sold me the Trane unit).  Lowe's and Trane were able to discuss the problem with Yellow Dot to discover several errors in their installation parts and procedures.  After discussing the problem with Trane and Lowe's, Yellow Dot promptly returned to the scene of the problem and replaced several parts as they were instructed by the Trane technicians.  The system has worked flawlessly ever since.  The system is still under warranty, so there was no charge. 

Bottom line: I have raised my evaluation of Yellow Dot from "F" overall to "C".  I will do business again with both Trane and Lowe's.  Unless forced to I will not call Yellow Dot again."

"After my initial phone call, he was able to visit the job site the next day and provided me with a printed estimate detailing each job and how much labor and materials would cost within two business days. Very knowledgeable, I had several random projects covering all kinds of exterior and interior work and he was able to complete them all. Very friendly and easy to get along with, was pleased with his quality of work. We will be using him again for future projects."

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

One of the most common house framing basics for decades has been using wood for the framing work. However, some framing contractors now suggest using steel frames. Steel is lightweight, resistant to fire, and resistant to moisture, all of which are areas where wood framing could cause problems. However, steel framing is more expensive than wood and limits your ability to insulate the home.

It’s best to use two screws to secure deck boards into every joist. Securing the boards to every joist makes the deck more structurally sound, while using two screws on the outer sides of the boards can help prevent warping and cupping.

In framing, studs are placed at 16-inch intervals to coincide with the typical spacing of wall materials such as drywall or plywood. This spacing is called "on-center" and is necessary for maintaining structural stability and efficient use of materials. The 16-inch spacing also helps to distribute the weight evenly across the building's structure. For those looking to cut material costs and improve energy efficiency, 24-inch stud spacing can be employed through a method called "advanced framing". This requires careful planning and adherence to local building codes to ensure structural integrity.

When hanging a door frame, it’s recommended that you use screws, not nails. Screws are more secure, easier to tighten, and easier to remove if you need to adjust the frame. On average, the cost to replace a door frame is about $400, but you can save on labor costs if you’re confident in your ability to DIY the project. 

Most of the time, you’ll want to use screws on your subfloor rather than nails. Nails can actually weaken plywood, whereas screws can easily penetrate without damage. They also form a more secure connection because of their shape, preventing squeaky floors and tightly holding the subfloor in place. That said, some contractors do prefer nails depending on the type of floor covering because they allow for more flexibility.
