"I called for a free estimate, Justin came promtly and inspected the chimey. He showed me pictures of the problems and spelled out all the options. I explained to him that my cellar has floode due the problems and was anxious to get the repairs done. Justin quoted a price that was fair and much lower then any other estimates. To my surprise he said that he could do the job that day. He kept sending me pictures as the work progressed so I knew exactlywhat he was doing. He was professional and honest about what needed to be done. I was more then pleased with him and the company. I highly recommend .Chimneys are us."

Family owned & operated. Blindsgalore is the DIY-ers choice for the best selection and value in custom window coverings. Blindsgalore's goal is to make home improvement and decorating more affordable by providing easy access to the most comprehensive collection of custom made to order window treatments/window coverings and knowledgeable, friendly customer service professionals.

All our products are first quality, custom made to your specifications, and shipped direct to you from the factory. Cost is determined by the job.

"Horrible customer service and the product is only getting worse over time. I have ordered 16 shutters from them over 5 separate orders during the last two years. A recent order late last year came with parts missing and getting replacement parts was a hassle because I had to provide pictures. How do you provide pictures of missing parts? My most recent order arrived without the mounting strips and blocking strips being pre-drilled. I received the screws and screw covers but no holes for them. After multiple back and forth with "Angie" from customer service I was forwarded a poorly spelled response from their supplier stating "usually" they don't pre-drill holes. Usually? All of my other shutters over the last two years were pre-drilled. I was then told it was my fault because this order was a single panel shutter vs all my previous orders being dual shutters and I would have to pay to get replacement strips with pre-drilled holes in them. What does a single vs a dual shutter have to do with whether or not holes are drilled in hanging and blocking strips?"

"I am sure that all positive reviews for this company are fake. Nothing that was promised to me was delivered. My siding project is still ongoing for over 1 month. Was told that it would be done in week. Had one rain day. They have system like this: 1) sales person who never installed anything he will promise you things that obviously are not true, 2) crew that is subcontracted but not Gunner, mine was driving for over 2 hours away, 3) person who oversees the project but has little control over anything, no supply, doesn't know the crew, crew does not listen to him, main office does not listen to him, 4) main office does not reply to you. They just tell me to talk to project manager who has no control. So you understand that if there are any issue you are on your own. Quality or work is not good. Many times I had to point to the crew what's wrong, planks are broken yet they were still installing it, caulking is done they way that I can do it better, they cut wires to awning etc"

Family owned & operated. I-81 corridor from Watertown to Binghamton, including Ithaca, Cortland, Syracuse area.East from Albany going west to Batavia area. Also, covering Hudson Valley Region.

"One word to describe Holbrook Heating, INCOMPETENT!!! **STAY AWAY, UNLESS YOU WANT TO WASTE YOUR TIME, MONEY AND HAVE UNNECESSARY AGGRAVATION IN YOUR LIFE** I purchased an extended warranty with the company I bought my HVAC unit, and Holbrook Heating was their designated contractor to install and maintain. HVAC unit was installed on 12.4.19, the compressor had to be replaced 3 times in 3 years, which is UNHEARD of, and it still did not work!!! After the 2nd compressor went at end of June 2022, I was told from Holbrook, they no longer service my area, so I would have to contact the new service company. I had to pay $149 for service call. New service company said I needed a new compressor and freon as there is a big leak. I told them that is impossible as compressor was just replaced a year ago and freon replaced, that means this would be the 3rd compressor! When they heard that, they told me they did not want to get get involved in this mess as they've never heard of 2 compressors breaking down in 2 years in all the years they've been in business. They said it's clear there is something gravely wrong and Holbrook had to deal with it. That's when Holbrook said they would do me a favor, (wink wink) and replace for me. Because of their incompetence, I went without A/C basically this whole summer! They installed 3rd compressor and added more freon on 8.16.22, I specifically asked them if they fixed the leak, as I cannot go through this anymore, the tech said there was no leak, valves needed to be tightened (I had to pay for freon thats not covered under warranty). 3 months later not working again! Rather than come back to address issue in mid November, when I still had warranty, (heat was only blowing out warm, then turned to cold air) they placated me stating all was fine with unit as its more energy efficient now. In beginning of December compressor started making really loud noises again. When I called them on 12.12.22, I was told my extended warranty expired on 12.4.22!!! And now I would have to pay $250 for service call and $250 an hr after that, as again, THEY NO LONGER SERVICE MY AREA. I then asked to speak to Scott Rossen, the owner, as how could he charge me this amount when clearly there's something wrong!! I'm still waiting for a call back, I won't hold my breath! Since I was no longer under warranty, I called another HVAC person, the first thing he told me is I had a huge leak and my freon is pouring out again!!! This is the reason why the compressor kept on breaking down. The compressor would need to be replaced again if I didn't call the new HVAC company. Also the thermostat Holbrook replaced, was not compatible with my system, so that's why heat never came out hot, only warm, then turned to cold air. New HVAC person fixed leak and installed proper thermostat within 4 hrs that Holbrook couldn’t fix in 3 years!!!! I had to pay $2200 in total for this visit (freon, new thermostat and their time). In total I paid almost an additional $3,000 because of Holbrook's incompetence. I'm more annoyed over the unnecessary aggravation and the time I wasted on them. I purchased a new HVAC system so I wouldn't have issues, all I had were issues because of them ughhhh"

Your one-stop shop for auto body repair. Family owned and operated since 2003. We also offer complete mechanical and general auto repair.

"Work was performed well and on time. They were the low bid of two bids, and they attempted to facilitate a rental for me which I appreciated. My one quibble is that the rental process was not as transparent as it could have been. For instance, I was able to return the rental car to their shop - which saved me time - but they had no process for checking the rental car to confirm that there was no damage. They simply held the car on their lot and notified the rental agency that it was there. So, I was not able to document that the car was undamaged when returned. This turned out to be a moot point in this case, but seems to me that if the car had been damaged on their lot after I turned it in, I could have been held liable for the damage. However, that quibble aside, I would definitely recommend this company."

Deck Cleaning questions, answered by experts

Limewash and whitewash do not harm surfaces if you apply them correctly. Use on non-suitable surfaces can cause issues. For instance, applying limewash or whitewash to surfaces with existing sealants or incompatible materials may lead to poor adhesion or flaking. Also, harsh cleaning agents on limewashed or whitewashed surfaces can damage the finish. Proper preparation, application, and maintenance ensure that limewash and whitewash do not harm surfaces.

No, you don't need to stain Ipe decking, although you can if you want to change the color. You will, however, need to apply a UV coating if you don't want the natural color to fade. Speak to a deck staining specialist near you to discuss the best options if you want to stain your decking. And remember that you’ll need to seal your Ipe wood deck annually to protect it from scratches and Mother Nature.

Avoid using cleaning products that are abrasive or contain bleach or acidic components on composite decking to avoid discoloration. Early-generation Trex decking isn’t designed to handle pressure washer cleaning—and if you use them on second-generation boards, always use a low setting to avoid the risk of damage that can risk voiding your warranty.

You can paint over old paint on a concrete porch. For the best results, you should first clean the surface and remove as much paint as you can. A power washer is helpful here, but you’ll also want to scrape as much of the old paint away as possible. Then you should prime the porch before repainting it.

Many decking oils can help slow down algae growth, but they don't completely stop it. These oils work by sealing the wood, which reduces moisture and, therefore, algae growth. Some decking oils also help protect against UV damage, but they need to be reapplied according to the manufacturer’s instructions to ensure the decking stays protected.
