And while I was scared to tackle this job right before Xmas they did the job in less than the quoted time and my home is truly ready for the holidays.

I am very surprised that the owner let those cupcakes out the door, especially since they were burnt. It was not evident that they were burnt until they were cut into. We also wanted to create a blue and purple swirl down the cupcake tower but the decorator airbrushed blue coloring on chocolate icing making the icing look black. I would have expected a phone call from the decorator offering a different idea to create that effect. Although I didn't ask, I am surprised the owner did not offer to refund part of our money, especially since the cakes were so overcooked.

The room has 4 windows that measure 10 ft high by 3 ft wide; with 18 ft ceiling. Needless to say, the sun (and heat) pour into to this room. I soon realized that to pay my mortgage and electric bill, I was going to have to try something else besides the blinds already in place. I called Horizon Auto Glass and Tint, made an appointment for an estimate, and the Owner, Rod Williams came out to provide the estimate. Due to some "unexpected" holiday expenses, I put the job off until April. Since the estimate was more than 90 days old, I was pleased to find out that Mr. Williams would honor his original estimate. The install date was selected and the installers, John Howser and Adam Williams, arrived bright and early April 16, 2013. The job took several hours and they did an impecable job! I could not have been more pleased with their attention to detail, their professionalisim, their concern for my furniture, how they cleaned up and their wonderful attitude. Truely a remarkable team! Im so happy with the experience I've had with these folks, that I'm having them do more windows on the southeast side of the house. I highly recommend this company and their products.

After this initial service, we began having some issues over the holiday weekend with excessive water noise in our piping system. The overflow valve started leaking as well. We contact our regular plumber, however his voicemail notified us that he was out on vacation through the end of the year. We then contacted Cartwrights, mainly for the overflow valve issue, and due to the time of year and day (Sunday) were charged an emergency service call of an additional $50. The technician who promptly came to the house was friendly and accommodating . He told us the problem was in the hyrdo thermostat causing steam in our pipes, and the part would neeed to be replaced. He came back the following morining and replaced it, with a total charge of $800. After he left we still had noise in the pipes, though not as severe. We contacted our regular plumbing service after the holiday who came out to look, telling us that the noise was actually being caused by the system needing to be purged, which he performed. It also required the lines being bled, to remove excess air in the system. Though he was reluctant to say, it is doubtfull that the hydro thermostat needed to be replaced, rather the system needed to be adjusted with temperature and a purge- a cost of a service call ($100 max.). However, since we didn;t keep the part we cannot be sure if this is accurate. Lesson learned? It is difficult to determine the right route to take when you are in an emergency situation- we were afraid that the system might 'blow' given the noise in the pipes (it was loud) and the leak in the overflow valve. It was a Sunday, and there was little else to do but wait until after the holiday to contact our regular service. As you can read, Cartwright's responded quickly, however we were at their mercy to believe their prognosis and pay their fees. Next time? We'd keep the part and have it examined to determine if it really needed to be replaced. However, we still would most likely be obliged to pay their high fees, regardless.
We greatly regret not trusting our “gut” feeling when we entered Coronado Paint & Decorating. We received minimal assistance and felt rushed to pick out flooring samples because the store wanted to close. We were assigned a primary point of contact (POC) who never showed up at our home during...

Service technician was punctual and competent. He efficiently determined the unit was in good condition and was operating properly -- except that it had no filter. He installed a filter at my request. The unit was working perfectly when he left, but later that night it stopped altogether. The...
It went well. Holidays are a bad time for things to go wrong and the fellow that came out was an hour early and got it done right away. Christmas saved.
The work was done professionally and expertly. The shelves in the garage are remarkable secure and fulfilled our needs perfectly. The decorative shelves match existing woodwork and look wonderful.

Holiday Decorating questions, answered by experts
The easiest way to hang Christmas lights on your roof is to attach them to your gutters, but there are plenty of user-friendly methods to try. You can use light clips to easily hook Christmas lights to your shingles, eaves, gutters, or soffit. However, using a telescoping pole is a surefire way to ensure your safety while hanging Christmas lights because it doesn’t require using a ladder or climbing onto the roof.
Outdoor Christmas lights cost between $80 to $300 on average without installation. This comes out to about $4 to $50 per strand. You can get a box of outdoor Christmas lights for as little as $20, if you just want to decorate a small area, like a doorway. If you want to go all out and cover your entire home, you'll need between 10 to 20 strands of 100 to 200 bulbs each.
If you hire a pro, the cost to hang Christmas lights is typically somewhere between $1.25 and $3 per square foot, excluding the cost of the lights. Homeowners spend an average of $420 per job, but some jobs can cost more than $1,000 if they’re extensive.
Good news, Christmas lovers: you cankeep your lights up all year, provided you choose the type. It's critical that you choose holiday lights made for outdoor use, as these can withstand winter weather conditions. In addition, it's best to use LED lights instead of incandescent ones. LED bulbs can withstand temperature shifts and are energy efficient.
If you are considering leaving your holiday lights up year-round, ask your lighting installer about permanent installation. This project costs around $3,500 but gives you about six to 10 years of LED lights and adds a pleasing aesthetic to your home.
Nails are a popular choice for hanging string lights, but they are not the only option. Use outdoor hooks, zip ties, or even awning hangers to string up lights outdoors. For indoor lights, use simple tacks, zip ties, damage-free adhesive hooks, or drawing pins. When all else fails, just wrap the lights around some furniture or outdoor fixtures.
