"Mose Troyer does fantastic work. He built custom rails for my front porch that completely transformed the look of my house. Can’t wait to spend the summer enjoying it."
"Bill completed a variety of jobs around my condo: he removed and replaced a bathroom faucet; repaired a closet door; stained and installed a new baseboard; secured small section of subfloor; installed bathroom towel rails; and removed an entry door to the garage and replaced with a steel door, installed new trim on the inside, and painted the door and new trim. I was pleased with the quality of work and the very reasonable price. Bill was easy to work with and was happy to make extra runs to the store or reschedule when things did not go as planned or extra supplies were needed. Because he worked largely by himself and had a busy schedule, there were times when I found myself having to adjust to his schedule, but this was a minor inconvenience. I would use Bill again. "
"He was great, easy to work with, incorporated with mu plans and gave great suggestions that really worked out. He is a top notch and I'm very happy with him."
"I absolutely recommend Patio Room Factory. I love my awning. The two installers who came to my home to install awning did a fabulous job, they were very polite and cordial. I feel they went over and beyond what was expected. Very pleasant and professional men. Mark, one of the owners, was also very professional and pleasant to work with. Always kind and kept in contact with me throughout the entire project. I would not hesitate to hire them again."
"Mike did a porch remodel, fan install, electrical, some plumbing repairs, hvac, and exterior door installation. He’s a skilled tradesman and easy to work with. Very pleased with the results."
"My wife and I recently purchased a house in Grove City. It needed many changes to make it our home. Thanks to Xclusive Home (Darrin Collier) the biggest changes were accomplished before we moved in. We first met Darrin just 2 weeks before our move-in date. Painting every wall of every room before we moved in was the number 1 thing on our project list, followed closely by dry-locking the entire basement. We were concerned that we had waited too long to get the work contracted to be able to have it completed before we moved in. Darrin had a painting crew in within just a couple of days and they did a great job with the painting. Before the painting began Darrin removed all the shelving in every closet and put it all back when the painting was completed others we had talked to about painting the closets seemed hesitant or unwilling to do this. Darrin had some good suggestions for improving the crawlspace and he did a great job with those. After the house painting and dry-locking were completed we decided we wanted to get the garage painted and the basement and garage floors as well. Next, we wanted to change up the bathroom so Darrin removed a cabinet on the wall that we didnt like, changed out all the hardware on the walls, and replaced all the plumbing fixtures including the toilet. Not only was the whole-house painting completed before our move-in date but all the last-minute extra jobs got done with a few days to spare! And, when the work was done, everything was cleaned up! We appreciate Darrins attention to detail and commitment to quality work and customer satisfaction. We also appreciate the great suggestions he provides. Darrin is personable and easy to work with. He knows what hes doing and explains everything thoroughly. Darrin is also trustworthy. Weve already recommended him to our mom for some ceramic tiling, drywall, and painting work that she needed to have done and he did a good job for her too. We are planning to have Xclusive Home do more projects for our house-to-home makeover in the new future. If youre reading this review and looking to get some home improvement or maintenance projects done you should get in contact with Xclusive Home."
"Very smooth install. Ed was nice, personable, and timely. He installed the solar lights efficiently and correctly. And they function perfectly. Fee was very reasonable as well. He’s agreed to install similar lights next weekend at our daughter’s home located about 10 minutes away. We’re in the market for a new handyman, so would not hesitate to contact Ed again. Thank you."
"Kenneth and Marciano did excellent work. The price was very reasonable. Challenges arose and they dealt with them beautifully. Their clean up was excellent and their work guaranteed for 5 years. Outstanding duo; would hire again unconditionally. Carol Ross"
"Concrete was poured for the porch as well as some repair and widening of the driveway. Then the roof was constructed, with a rubber roof due to the relatively flatness. Then the posts were wrapped and railings were assembled."
All garage doors, particularly newly installed models, add value to your home. Higher-quality and higher-priced doors increase the ROI, so a well-insulated custom garage door increases the value of your home more than a poorly-insulated stock model. Updating a garage door boasts the second-highest home improvement ROI, at nearly 95%.
Garage cabinets are different from interior cabinets because they typically hold heavier tools and face more extreme temperature changes since they’re outside your heating and cooling system. For that reason, many homeowners opt for heavy-duty cabinet materials, like metal or steel. However, wood cabinets also work well in a garage for storing lighter items like garden supplies, protective gear, and small tools.
Wood, steel, fiberglass, and aluminum are among the top building materials for a garage. Wood is highly customizable, naturally insulative, and durable in mild climates but can be expensive. Steel is lightweight, low-maintenance, and cost-effective, but it’s susceptible to rust. Fiberglass is low-maintenance and doesn’t shrink or expand in changing temperatures, but it can become brittle and crack from prolonged high winds and sun exposure.
Unlike steel, aluminum isn’t susceptible to rust and is low-maintenance, but its ultra-light weight makes it less durable than some materials, and it’s susceptible to saltwater damage, making it a poor choice for coastal homes.
There are three ways to open the garage door when the power is out. One is to invest in a solar panel and battery system or generator backup power. Another method is to use the quick-release key to disconnect the garage door from the garage door opener. You can also use the key to your house to wait out the power outage and reset the garage door opener once the power returns.
If your garage door key is inside your home and you don’t have a spare key on hand to access your entry points, then call a locksmith.
Single and double garage doors have pros and cons, but it's all based on personal preference regarding which one is better for you. Two single garage doors give you more control over airflow entering your garage but double the system, which means double the upkeep cost.
On the other hand, two-car double garage doors are more convenient but can stop you from leaving if a piece of hardware malfunctions.
