Carmine Argano and his son Carmine were not only extremely skilled craftsmen but they were also extremely creative and allowed me to be involved just enough to see my vision come to fruition. Carmine himself is a perfectionist, who very rarely gets flustered and will stick with something till he achieves his goal. Not only does he do the job at hand but he is also very mindful to educate the consumer on the proper way to do things whether it be plumbing, heating, tiling, carpentry so that things are done right the first time around. His tile work is impeccable. He and his staff never left a mess. They cleaned up everyday and took precautions to keep the mess under control as best they could. Because of the extreme winter there were times when a lot of work that would normally be done outside had to be done in the house (tile cutting, etc) and by days end my home was always back to normal. Carmine always kept in touch throughout process and was present on the job almost everyday. All of Carmine's associates (plumbers, electrician, tape and spackle guys) were pleasant and easy to work with. Carmine also finished a bathroom remodel at my parents home recently and also did another amazing job. My parents are elderly and my mother is vision impaired and Carmine did a great job making their bathroom an attractive yet functional space with all the proper amenities for a handicapped individual. I personally spent a lot of time with both Carmine and his son and enjoyed having them in my home. They were trustworthy, thoughtful and extremely hard workers. My bathroom is now a contemporary and luxurious retreat and I owe Carmine & co. thanks for that. I look forward to many future projects with Creative Design Ceramic Tile & Bath. ** Please note that the cost does not include glass work or quartz pieces installed by other companies.** "},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/ny/lake-grove/creative-design-ceramic-tile-and-bath-reviews-6223504.htm"},"position":7},{"@type":"ListItem","item":{"@type":"LocalBusiness","name":"TROY SECURITY SYSTEMS","address":{"@type":"PostalAddress","addressRegion":"NY","addressCountry":"US"},"review":{"@type":"Review","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Mary T."},"reviewBody":"We are out $2,500, as the entire faulty system had to be replaced, and we are out almost $10,000 for plumbing repair in the barn office; despite repeated calls and promises to have the second system in that barn before 12/31/2009, they did not do the work and the pipes froze and burst in January (the system includes monitoring heat). We had problems from the beginning. The house system was installed (though not by the professional we expected - the person had a young man do the actual installation) and the check was cashed within the hour after writing it. Then the trouble began. When the alarming didn't work, someone came to check and was surprised to find it was set wrong. They fixed it, but we continued to have trouble and no one returned multiple calls. We also made multiple calls regarding their promise to get the barn office system done before year end (for tax purposes). After the pipes burst in the barn, we gave up calling and got another company to do the barn office work and to try to figure out what was wrong with the house system. What we all saw when they opened the system shocked us -- the system was not installed to code and there were many errors, both major and minor: The errors included: 1) No ground on panel 2) No DSL filter 3) Wrong wire for power 4) Wrong wire for CO detector 5) CO detectors not connected and no EOL relay 6) No alarm sound in basement home office, where we spend much of the day 7) Magnets on some alarmed doors not in alignment 8) Wire runs in basement ceiling not secured 9) Loose terminals on panel 10) Smoke detectors wired into system wrongly 11) Furnace room heat and smoke detector loop wrongly connected (not supervised) 12) Keypads badly mounted - nothing underneath to secure them There were others, but this list should suffice. We tried calling the company to give them an opportunity to bring the system up to code but no one returned our calls. We tried sending the company a certified letter, to which they never responded (though they received it). We couldn't possibly be more disappointed. We had heard only good things about this company, and its Angie's List reports from 4-5 years ago were \"A\" but something has gone wrong. Perhaps it's the new management, but we got NO SATISFACTION AT ALL. Promises were not kept, work was not done as promised or to code, work that was supposedly tested before leaving the premises didn't work (and until a supervisor came to the house and discovered we were right, they acted as if WE were doing it wrong!), NO MONEY was returned to us and due to business and family issues we didn't even take them to Small Claims Court - plus, as they were a well-known community business, we tried to give them the benefit of the doubt. But since they did not even have the courtesy to apologize or return any of our letters or calls, let alone refund our money for a totally useless system that had to be completely replaced, we feel we should at least warn others. Basically, this was a system that would have endangered our lives."},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/ct/newtown/troy-security-systems-reviews-240920.htm"},"position":8},{"@type":"ListItem","item":{"@type":"LocalBusiness","name":"Conlan Plumbing Inc","address":{"@type":"PostalAddress","addressRegion":"NY","addressCountry":"US"},"review":{"@type":"Review","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"David K."},"reviewBody":"Spoke to the owner, who assigned a plumber based on his experience with heating system.

Extremely satisfied with the service. I thought I would have needed a new water heater but the technician was able to find the leak on the heating element and then repaired. I also had them perform their complimentary walk through of the home and they did point out 2 toilets which had been...

"They are supposed to come tomorrow, they agreed on that. They called and told me that the job is too small and they refused to do the job. Meanwhile I described the job to the woman, the dimensions and the specifics and she agreed but still cancelled it."

All Weather provides sales, installation, service and maintenance of residential and commercial heating, air conditioning & water filtration systems.
"They installed a minisplit cooling system, with 3 exchanges June 2021. Since then it is not operating the way it should. In my bedroom with the door closed at night on cool at 70 degrees the humidity goes up to 80%. I wake up uncomfortable, change it from cool to dry mode. The humidity will go down into the 50% range but the temperature drops down to 62 or less! So in cool or dry mode I can't get a good nights sleep! They come and look at it and tell me everything is fine. I'm going to buy a window air conditioner tomorrow which seems insane because i spent $10,000 on this minisplit AC system!"

Plumbing Heating Companies questions, answered by experts
Conventional drain cleaners, like you might buy at the grocery store, use bleach (sodium hydroxide) as the main ingredient. On the contrary, biodegradable drain cleaners use gentler ingredients such as baking soda, vinegar, and boiling water to clear out drains.
Bleach is extremely corrosive and releases harmful gasses—hence the need for wearing safety protections like rubber gloves, eye goggles, face masks, and long sleeves and properly ventilating the room while using bleach. Biodegradable cleaners, however, don’t use bleach. Therefore they are safer to use, especially if you have a house full of children.
In most cases, a dripping faucet will not stop on its own. Dripping usually occurs because of a failed cartridge or broken washers. Normal wear and tear eventually runs these parts down and causes the faucet to drip when you've already shut off your sink. Replacing the cartridge or washer should fix the problem.
In most areas, drain cleaning professionals don’t technically need a license, as they aren’t altering your plumbing system in any way. However, we recommend hiring a drain cleaning professional with a plumbing license and certification. Certified plumbers are more likely to provide professional solutions to drain clogs without damaging your system. They’ll also have the diagnostic tools and experience necessary to remove the clog entirely rather than providing a temporary solution, as a handyperson might. Use Angi’s state licensing tool to check your plumber’s professional licenses before hiring.
You can find out what type of shower valve you have by checking the manufacturer’s name and the valve’s serial number or model number. That information should be located on the back of the shower trim. You can use the name and number to do a quick online search to figure out which type of shower valve you have.
Watch for sinkholes in your yard. Also, if the water pressure in your sinks, showers, and other fixtures is notably lower, this is usually a sign that an underground water line is leaking. This affects sprinkler lines and can make the sprinklers shoot out water with very little water pressure, meaning they won’t water your lawn and garden as effectively as normal.
By submitting this question, I acknowledge and agree that Angi may publicly display my name, city, state, and question on the website for professionals and others to see.
