How do I know if my chimney is safe to use?

• <div><p>One of the best ways to know your chimney is good to go on any given night is to simply look up into your flue with a flashlight. If you see a thick buildup of creosote—a shiny, dark substance that looks like tar—it’s best to have your fireplace professionally cleaned before you go ahead with the burn. Additionally, having your fireplace professionally inspected once per year can also help increase your peace of mind and keep your family and your home safe.</p></div>

Q: Does the tenant have to be present for the inspection?

• <div><p>Generally, no. The letter you receive from your landlord may say that they&rsquo;ll do the apartment inspection whether or not you are home. If you want more time or you want to reschedule to a time that you will be home, you can ask your landlord, but they may not be required to honor your request.</p></div>

Q: How often should electrical systems be inspected for safety?

• <div><p>Systems should be checked every 2-3 years or whenever signs of age appear, maintaining network integrity and safety at all times.</p></div>

Q: Are home mold tests worth it?

• <div><p>While home mold tests can provide a simple identification of mold presence, they lack accuracy and reliability. These kits may detect mold spores but can't pinpoint the source or identify the type. Professional testing, combined with an inspection, is more comprehensive and leads to actionable next steps. </p></div>

Q: Do I need to hire someone for home maintenance?

• <div><p>While you can perform many routine home maintenance jobs yourself, it&rsquo;s often a good idea to bring pros in for certain tasks. HVAC maintenance, fireplace and chimney inspections, foundation repairs, and roof inspections and repairs should be handled by professionals who know what to look for and can safely perform repairs. You may also find it helpful to hire a <a href="https://www.angi.com/nearme/house-cleaning/">local house cleaning service</a> to help with deep cleaning.</p></div>

Your Home Improvement Company replaced windows in my house and I love them. Windows got installed in a day did it in the middle of winter. Thought they were crazy but actually didnâ t affect my house at all. Would 100% recommend them to anyone.

Lori was great to work with. She was very professional, but still a lot of fun throughout the whole process of us buying our first home. She was more than happy to help out with anything we needed and answer any question we could come up with.

He was a subcontractor to the home builder. I have no dislikes whatsoever. He had good quality workmanship on the installation job and they are quality doors. The key pads and garage door openers worked as they should the first trip out.
