We had 6 wooden dining room chairs which were my grandmother's (so at least 60 years old, as she died at 90ish); wooden backs, seats worn through and what appeared to be kapok stuffing falling out here and there. Not particularly good quality chairs I don't think, but of sentimental value to me. We also had another, nonmatching wooden chair which I wanted reupholstered in a matching fabric. All had dings and scratches and occasional loose joints, and we had put sticky felt on the bottoms of the legs to avoid scratching our dining room floor. I telephoned to ask if he could do the job, phone was answered promptly and pleasantly by Mr. Hayden himself, appt made for us to bring chairs to him the following day (a Saturday in early June 2013). I did not have upholstery cloth picked out, he said fine to get it elsewhere (he could tell us how much needed after seeing chairs) or he had some we could look at. Address he wanted chairs brought to was different from that listed as Havenhouse Upholstery on Google (it appears on Google as Havenhouse all one word); appeared to be his home when we got there. He had a furniture-filled workshop in his back garage which is where we dropped off the chairs; he had about a dozen different rolls of upholstery cloth of different patterns/fabrics in the back of his minivan and we chose one we liked from that selection (I am perfectly happy with what we chose, but do not consider myself a picky shopper in matters of style -- durability and stain resistance more important as we have kids, and he recommended some of what he brought as more durable than other fabrics, we chose from those). Estimate was $575 for reseating/upholstery/stain guarding and $200 for repairs to chairs (he said refinishing was not recommended for chairs like these, and that was not our focus anyway), paid by check $250 deposit. He said it would take several weeks. Late June I called to check and let him know we would be unreachable for a week, he said he was almost done. As arranged he called me after we returned to arrange pickup, appt made for next day. He stated repairs had been more extensive than estimated and would be an extra $75 (I made no quibbles). Place to pick up was another different address. I had to call to confirm address twice (trouble entering into GPS) but each time Mr. Hayden answered right away himself and was immediately helpful. and quot;Haven House Upholsteryand quot; or similar not seen on signage of building at that address when I arrived so I phoned; he drove to where I was (took 1 minute) and led me back to a storage unit containing a workspace and lots of furniture including our chairs. He helped me load up and I paid remainder by check to him personally, receiving receipt with both Haven House Upholstery and his name at the top which lays out work done nicely but does not include tax line (I have to assume sales tax was included in the price). Quality of the work: seats look great, very comfortable to sit on with good firm/soft balance for both me (short and fat) and husband (tall and thin), fabric fits tightly and is beautifully folded over corners and evenly trimmed underneath, a lot better than the original seats even before they wore through. The fabric we chose had a herringbone pattern which would show minor faults in alignment easily and this was perfectly aligned on each chair. Wood had greatly diminished ding/scratch appearance, still present (as expected) but have to look a lot harder to find them. Joints very stable now, no leaked glue visible (if he used glue; I didn't ask how he made repairs). Unasked, he had replaced the sticky felt pads under each chairleg with the same color and thickness we had used. Overall, I am very pleased with the work quality. Timing and what would and could not be done was all accurately explained in words I could understand. Cost was a bit more than original estimate but I believe the chairs deserved this as he hadn't tested the joints a lot before making his estimate, and this is not a visible problem. I had expected more of a storefront experience given the name and quot;Havenhouse Upholsteryand quot; but reaching and dealing with Mr. Hayden was easy at all times. My only concern is the lack of evidence of having paid sales tax on the receipt, which I did not notice until I got home. I would use him again if needed; he seems to be a real craftsman who cares about quality and that is well worth putting up with a slightly less-than-slick business demeanor.

They refused to work with a third party of my choice to change the liner and would not give me a refund. They offered to compensate my time with free pool chemicals and a refund of water usage but did not do that either.

They competition was going to charge me $2000. The price was right at HOME DEPOT, so we went with them. It was a two man crew. They appeared to know what they were doing as far as putting the flooring down. The tiles are 1 foot by 3 foot sections. There is a glue strip on all four edges and they to overlap one another. I wasn't 100% happy because the guys have to come back to fix a seam that is coming apart. I think part of the problem was that the helper he had was a little new and there was a hump in the floor and the guy put a doorway trim right near that hump and it is lifting up one of the tiles. The man promised me he would be here tomorrow to repair it. It is the owner or group leader will come back to fix it. I will be 100% after tomorrow, when it is fixed. I had to pay to have a couple of appliances removed and they did what they were supposed to. I can't say they went over and above the call of duty. I would recommend them. It was almost a $700 savings doing the floor with this material. They came when they said they were going to come. They got it done in 4 to 5 hours. He did exactly what he was supposed to. They charge you $35 to measure your floor but when you order the flooring you get it back. They moved the appliance with care and there was no problem. We like the quality of the material. The guy said he had been doing this type of flooring for 20 years and it was obvious watching him.

Contract was written and signed on 5/4 for $4200.00 and an ASAP repair (3-5 weeks) because of the extensive damage. Recieved a post card in mail mid-june stating they were going to be working in the area and were offering 10 percent off. We called and it didn't apply to previous contracts and they still weren't available to do our roof. Called again begining of july and still not available. We got a call friday july 8,in the p.m. that they would start monday morn and needed a start up check. Good thing we have online banking because we needed to transfer from savings to checking. Monday morning, our nephew gave the owners son the check and work began. Later that morning my husband receives a call from owners son and says all the sheeting on the back of the house is rotted and seperated, needs to be replaced. My husbands at work 20 miles away, I'm at work, he gives the OK and then calls the insurance company to let them know there's more damage then thought. My husband calls the company back to let them know to put the rotted sheets aside because the insurance company needs to look at them. We get home and there's only about 4 sheets aside, out of 15, and the rest are in the dumpster. My husband starts pulling sheets of the OSB board out of the dumpster only to discover it was all good. The insurance company would only pay for 5 sheets. We also had the sheets looked at by 2 other contrators who verified that there was nothing wrong with them. My husband called the company and said we weren't paying for the work that wasn't needed, an extra $1564.00. When we got our bill it went from 15 sheets to 17 sheets and the price was $92 a sheet instead of the contract price of $88. After a couple of days the owner called us and we agreed to pay half of the originally stated 15 sheets at contract price which was $660.00 They did the work but also did unnecessary work and expected us to pay."},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/ny/gasport/collingwood-construction-reviews-5106145.htm"},"position":9},{"@type":"ListItem","item":{"@type":"LocalBusiness","name":"D.W.

The exchange was painful -- so unhelpful I felt like I was interacting with a bad chatbot. 3) I ended up eating shipping costs (expected) and got hit for a 50% restocking fee (unexpected) because I refused the package instead of paying to ship it back.

FAQs for kenmore vacuum repair projects in Middleport, NY
Common repairs for central vacuum cleaners include motor repair, electrical repair, and blocked filters. Central vacuum motor issues typically come with a burning smell and loss of suction. With these issues, you might need simple lubrication to keep it running smoothly, or for more extreme problems, you could need a motor replacement.
Electrical problems or losing suction strength, might be reasons to swap out electrical components for new ones. However, a local central vacuum repair professional can tell you the best plan of action for your system.
The average cost for central vacuum cleaner repair is $310, though prices can range from $120 to $500. Your total cost will depend on the type of repair needed and the type of central vacuum you own.
A minor motor repair, like lubrication, only costs around $50. However, if you need to replace your motor, you’ll be looking at a much higher price tag with a total of $100 to $500. Other fixes, like electrical work, are charged by the hour, which ranges from $15 to $55per hour.
The answer to repairing vs. replacing appliances depends on the type of appliance, the severity of the issue or damage, and the quality of it. If you’ve purchased a top-of-the-line small appliance, it’s almost always more cost-effective to repair it than to replace it. You should also consider the cost to repair it, though. If the repair cost is more than half the cost of a new version, lean toward purchasing a new one. Your small appliance technician could also help you decide by determining the expected remaining lifespan after the repair.
Small appliance repair costs average around $50to $400, with costs ranging significantly based on the type of appliance, the extent of the damage, the issue, the appliance brand, and the availability of replacement parts. Generally speaking, you’ll pay less for repairs on very small appliances, like blenders and toasters, than you will for microwave repairs. We recommend consulting a small appliance repair technician for a quote before starting the project.
Small appliances typically include microwaves, toasters, toaster ovens, food processors, blenders, mixers, slow cookers, air fryers, coffee makers, rice cookers, and any other appliance that can sit on your countertop. Major appliances include refrigerators, dishwashers, ovens, cooktops, washers, and dryers. Some people may include HVAC equipment like condensers and air handlers in this category, too. Small appliances are more of a specialty, so there’s a good chance a typical appliance repair company won’t be able to service and repair small appliances.
