"Vince was extremely prompt and courteous. He really seemed to understand what I wanted for a finished job, and provided exactly what I envisioned. We had almost all of the existing plants removed, a large tree stump removed, leveled part of the yard, re-worked the side driveway, installed a french drain under the driveway, and planted new trees and plants. They installed a block retaining wall next to the pool and filled it to work as a planter. The job began when he said it would, finished on time, and the crew adjusted to any changes we asked for. "
"We recently moved to NM and the yard at our home was neglected for a few years. The backyard needed to be cleaned up (including removing a few bushes and an old clothesline), a new irrigation system installed, and beds prepared for a variety of plants I want to install. Eric and his crew from Summersweet were excellent! I interviewed several landscapers and only Eric listened to what I wanted, offered his expert advice (his knowledge was gained thru both formal education and practical experience), and delivered what we agreed to have done! The Summersweet crew was hardworking and professional - it helped that I speak some Spanish. Carmela pleasantly and professionally handles all the behind the scenes logistics. Everything was done professionally and on time."
"I have been a builder for 38 years and used many plumbers. Randy’s plumbing service was top-notch. They were timely per our schedule. They passed inspections immediately. The work was done professionally and according to building codes. He got everything done in just a few days for the underground plumbing for prior to slab work and all the yard lines. Thank you Randy, I really appreciate you and your workers! I have hired Randy’s plumbing service to do underground plumbing, top out and finish plumbing for a new custom home, so the complete plumbing job."
"I used this company to replace my kitchen sink faucet that has been leaking for over a year. Last week the drain backed up and due to the leak both sinks kept filling up. They came out right when they stated they would and knocked out both the clog and replaced the leaking faucet."
"They did a great job doing trenches for my plumbing roughing with the grade I need to put my pipe's drains to pass my city inspection. Definitely I will use this company again 👍🏻"
"I will be calling mother road again for all my home repair needs I called because I tried to fix things on my own and made things 10 time worse but not only was he able to fix my screw up he was also able to make it look really nice I really appreciate the amazing work 10 out of 10 would recommend"
"I highly recommend Alliance Landscaping Inc. Out of 5 estimates, I choose Alliance because: they show up on time; Jerome's estimate was clearly written, included everything we discussed, and was the most reasonable; Jerome and Tammy got back to me in a timely manner whenever I had additional questions and concerns; the contract included confirmation that Alliance Landscaping agrees to carry Workers' Compensation and Public Liability Insurance; Pete and Daniel did an exceptional job building a fence out of railroad ties, pulling out a stubborn wisteria bush, and carefully installing the gravel I selected. I am extremely happy with their hard work. Jerome stopped by several times during the install day to check on the progress. Throughout this process everyone at Alliance was respectful and patient. I felt, more than any of the other companies, that they truly cared about giving great customer service. The best compliment I can give is that I will be hiring Alliance again for two other large projects."
"Title: Exceptional, trustworthy plumbing — highly recommended Galactic Mechanical & Plumbing exceeded every expectation. After a frustrating runaround with other companies, Jordan drove up from Albuquerque to Santa Fe, waived the trip charge, and quickly diagnosed that I only needed a faucet fixture (not a full sink). He went to Home Depot, installed the new fixture, fixed a few other small issues, and left everything working — all billed fairly for one hour of labor. Jordan was professional, efficient, and honest; Megan in the office was courteous and helpful. As a longtime local with two homes, I’m already planning to use Galactic as my go-to plumber. Highly recommend them for reliable, respectful, and skilled service. Thank you, Jordan."
Storm Drain Installation questions, answered by experts
Outswing doors are more popular for exterior doors as they offer more room for moving items in and out of a home. And because the hinges are on the outside of the door, they’re more secure against potential break-ins. But, outswing doors are more susceptible to the elements and are more expensive. Comparing inswing vs. outswing doors depends on your budget, needs, and overall preference.
To maintain a storm door's functionality and appearance, you should regularly clean the glass and frames, lubricate the hinges and other moving parts, and inspect the seals for any signs of wear.
It does matter which way a hinge is installed because it’s possible to install a hinge backward. The hinge pin should face the direction in which the door will swing, making the pin visible. Exterior doors that swing outward need a security hinge with an Allen set screw in the center to prevent someone from removing the hinge from the outside and accessing the home or business.
Instead of a security door, you might opt for a heavy-duty screen door made from durable mesh, which allows better sunlight and airflow. Additionally, you could enhance security by installing strong locks on your existing door. A double-cylinder deadbolt provides robust security; however, be aware that some local laws prohibit them due to safety concerns during emergencies.
Storm handles using universal hole spacings are interchangeable regardless of brand and model. However, some older models may require specific hardware. In these cases, we recommend replacing your storm door altogether instead of spending hours looking for a replacement part online. Newer models also tend to be more durable and efficient, so a new storm door could be a worthy investment.
