How do I know if my chimney is dirty?

• <div><p>There are several signs that your chimney is dirty and ready for cleaning. Look for the following:</p><ul><li><p>A buildup of creosote and soot inside the chimney</p></li><li><p>The room fills with smoke when you use the fireplace</p></li><li><p>The damper is black with creosote residue</p></li><li><p>When you light a fire, it quickly goes out</p></li></ul><p>In general, it’s best to schedule a cleaning at least once a year before winter so you can safely use the fireplace. </p></div>

How can you prepare for a pest inspection?

• <div><p>Make it easier for your inspector to do a thorough assessment by preparing your home ahead of time. That includes:</p><ul><li><p>Noting any signs of pests around the home</p></li><li><p>Removing obstacles in the way of the attic, basement, plumbing, garbage, and other key areas that inspectors will need to access</p></li><li><p>Keeping children and pets away from inspection areas</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: Is it worth it to buy a home with a cesspool?

• <div><p>If you&rsquo;re in the market, you might think twice before buying a home with a cesspool on the property. You&rsquo;ll need to factor in the costs of either maintaining the cesspool (such as with aeration, pumping, and cleaning) or dismantling the system and replacing it with a septic tank or sewage line connection. It might still be a good idea to buy that home, but you&rsquo;ll need to decide for yourself if the costs and hassle are worth it.</p></div>

Q: How do you detect a septic field?

• <div><p>Start by finding the septic tank, marked by an access lid near your home. From there, the drain field extends outward in a series of trenches. Look for greener, lusher grass, as drain fields promote plant growth due to moisture and fertilizer. You can also check property records, use a soil probe to detect damp soil, or hire a septic professional with ground-penetrating radar equipment to map the drain field&rsquo;s location. </p></div>

Q: What common issues are identified during a roofing inspection?

• <div><p>Loose shingles, leaks, and structural weaknesses are typical findings.</p></div>

I highly recommend Tyler. He responded quickly, did the chimney repair work quickly, and did a great job. He saved me a lot of money compared to another estimate. He is also pleasant, professional and easy to work with. He explained everything thoroughly. It was an excellent experience.

Bob was prompt and professional. We had him replace the crown on our chimney, replace several bricks, replace some flashing and repair some loose slate on our front step. I would highly recommend him for any masonary job.

"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"
