"It was fine. It took while to get it scheduled because I wasn't ready to have it done. It involved taking my back door off and I didn't want to do that in January and February. The stuff that I needed to have done didn't take 4 hours. What I was having done wasn't difficult. He showed up on time and he seemed to know what he was doing so I can't ask for more than that. There was no worst part. The best part was he was a nice guy. We had something in common to talk about so we were able to chitchat while he was working. I think it was worth a hundred bucks. It took a while to get it scheduled. I would possibly use them in the future if I needed more the same type of stuff done."
"I would hire him again, he knew his stuff and went out of his way to make sure the job was done better than expected. When he noticed something else that needed repair he fixed that too at no additional cost."
"I hired 4x4 Home Improvements on several occasions and I've been very happy with their work and versatile skill set. It's the only company I now call for all my home repairs and improvements.
Tony replaced or repaired all windows in my house, installed hardwood floor in my rental unit and built a beautiful new porch. He is a great carpenter who can handle various jobs such as plumbing, electrical and much more.
Abel is also very capable, installing my outdoor flood lights, and replacing my leaky galvanized pipes in the basement with PVC and copper pipes. When my main sewer line was backed up he used a sewer camera to diagnose the problem. He also replaced my toilets and bathroom hardware fixtures.
And finally Henry painted my living and dining room area.
This company is reliable, competitively priced, doing an excellent job. I would highly recommend them!"
"This was a small job, and Alex did it right. All I needed was my cellar door rehung, as it was uneven. It turned out to be a little more complicated than that, but Alex fixed it, and I am very pleased with how it no longer is uneven."
"I had an urgent request to install shelves b/c the other person I hired never showed up. Belayeth reached out to me right away and came out the same evening. They did a wonderful job installing multiple shelves in my guest room, were clean and efficient, very friendly and experienced. I was so excited to see that they provide so many services. Highly recommend and will definitely use them going forward. They were wonderful."
"David was very good. He preformed the work to my complete satisfaction. We were able to meet in person and I explained what I wanted. Even though I was not at home, he was able to work around my schedule and completed the repairs to my shed and then power washed and painted in a timely manner. I would definitely hire David again for my next handyman project."

Fire Pit Installation questions, answered by experts
Safety concerns with propane boilers include proper venting to prevent carbon monoxide buildup, secure gas line connections, and regular inspection of safety controls. Professional boiler installation and annual maintenance are essential to minimize risks. Having a carbon monoxide detector installed in your home is essential for early detection of any leaks or ventilation issues.
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.
Yes, you need to leave your chimney damper open when burning a creosote log so that smoke and other debris doesn’t waft into your house as it’s burning. You’ll need to make sure your damper is fully open, even when the log continues to smoke, until it’s completely out and cold.
Some Christmas lights are marked as being “UL Safety Certified” or Underwriters Laboratories Safety Certified. This lab is a trusted source for determining the safety standards of electrical products—you should make sure your Christmas lights have this label. Brush up on other electrical safety tips before installing any lighting features.
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.
