"James gave me the lowest quote and installed my floor two weeks from when I signed with him. I wanted the floor done by Easter and he delivered! It turned out beautiful! We couldn’t be happier!"
"John was very professional from start to finish. He was responsive, punctual and did all of the work he quoted me on. The vanity installation proved to be challenging as a result of some plumbing and other issues. John worked with plumber to solve the problem and was able to ultimately install the vanity as expected. John and his crew are neat. The put drop cloths in their work areas and always clean up at the end of each day. I would highly recommend John and his team."

"Had demo of Jacuzzi bathtub and install of walk in shower. Work was done quickly and very happy with the final results.
Also hired to build a feed and tack shed for horses. Love it! Poured concrete floor and added on to current barn. Looks great."
"Kevin was great, he was very responsive on a Saturday and came to hang a new door for me the next day. The installation was more complicated than I originally anticipated. The hinges, deadbolt and door knob did not align with the existing cut outs. Kevin did a great job making the door look like it was pre-hung on the existing frame."
"junior started exactly on time every day & worked late if rain was forecast the following days. He did exactly what we wanted & made suggestions that we agreed to. Work was impeccable. He & his employees were polite & the work they did was worth every dollar we spent. They did several minor things for no charge. He is now our go-to guy when we need things done. There is nothing he and his employees cannot do. Refurbished our 28x18deck. Replaced many sections of our post & rail fence. Opened our pool. Cut down 4 trees. Cut them up. Cut up our 50 year old tree house that fell. Ordered the dumpsters & loaded them. Replaced the deck furniture. Put the cover & curtains on the gazebo. Removed deteriorated cover on port.able 10x20 portable garage & installed new one. Cleared leaves from greenery in front of house & planted 3 new arborvitae. Refurbished our deteriorating bow window.

"Matt was very easy to work with and communicated often on the pace of the project. I would highly recommend him on any project you have and I would not hesitate to hire him to do any work around my home."
"Derek was the best handyman EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He repaired some roof tiles and the wood on the inside of the shed. It had leaked inside and the wood needed to be replaced. He worked until everything was done, even though it was late. He also repaired a piece of the ceiling in my dining room, that I had asked others to repair and they would not do the work. He was polite and easy to talk to as he explained some of the work he was doing. I would recommend him to anyone who needs work done of any kind. Ann Finneral"
Fire Pit Installation questions, answered by experts
You can’t gauge the lifetime of a fire door like you could, say, an engine. Fire doors should be checked at least once every six months to ensure there are no signs of degradation like leaks, holes, water damage, termite damage, or anything else that might compromise the functionality of the door’s fire resistance. Check your smoke detectors while you’re at it.
If a storm or other natural disaster occurs in your area, you may not have immediate access to help. According to the U.S. Federal Emergency Management Agency, keep a disaster preparedness kit in your home with enough essentials to sustain your family for at least 72 hours. Put this in an easily accessible location to have it handy in case anything unthinkable happens.
Yes, you should seal and cap an unused chimney to protect it from damage. Sealing the structure helps prevent moisture damage, which can lead to issues like cracks, spalling, efflorescence, and damaged mortar joints. Capping the chimney is also crucial to prevent blockages, damage from invasive critters, and downdrafts, while still allowing for proper air ventilation to manage moisture. For the best results, consult a chimney professional to select the right type of chimney or flue cap for your home. It's also wise to continue with annual chimney inspections to maintain the structure's integrity.
The primary disadvantage of a ventless fireplace is that it doesn’t have an exterior venting system. This means that the byproducts from combustion are emitted into your home, which raises some safety concerns. In addition, ventless gas fireplaces produce moisture as they burn—and if there’s no ventilation, you could end up with a mold problem.
You should never block both the top and bottom of your chimney. Proper airflow is essential because the temperature inside the chimney will still fluctuate as your house warms and cools. Moisture can build up without ventilation, leading to dampness in your walls over time. Blocking the top prevents debris and animals from entering, but the chimney still needs air circulation to avoid condensation issues. Allowing the chimney to breathe maintains the health of your home and prevents long-term damage.
