This young man did a phenomenal job on my bathroom sink, it had a thumb sized chip and he left it brand new. He came on time, communication is on point. Definitely would recommend touchup-refinishing.

Great guys. However, they had to redo the floor prior to sealing with poly (after the first coat of varnish) because of round brush marks and not finishing the base board floor area where nail holes were not plugged. I thought they were sanding it by hand to fix but they came back with the...

It was good. They had a small wood chipper that they walked into our backyard. We are going to need to put down new topsoil and plant new grass. They didn't remove the chips but apparently that's standard.

It did not screw out so he had to cut a small hole inside the house to replace the pipe and reattach it. There was a reasonable extra charge for that. I would have preferred he had white caulk to cover the chipped paint on the siding after faucet removal. He only had clear caulk. <br />

Brush Chipping questions, answered by experts

You’ll need to kill the earwigs using traps or insecticides, and then prevent them from entering your home. Make sure you fix leaks and seal up all cracks and crevices. You can use a dehumidifier to cut the moisture and drive earwigs out.

To remove old grass effectively, you typically need to dig to one to two inches. This depth typically allows you to reach the root system of the grass, ensuring thorough removal. However, if the grass is a particularly dense or deep-rooted variety (such as Bermuda grass), or if you're planning to replace it with a different landscaping feature, you may need to dig deeper to loosen the soil and remove any underlying roots.

An herbicide with glyphosate, imazapyr, or triclopyr kills ivy the fastest. Herbicides inhibit photosynthesis and cell division. They kill the roots and prevent ivy from regrowing. You should apply herbicide to the cut stems and roots of ivy. You can also spray herbicide on the leaves of ivy, but be sure not to spray nearby trees and plants as it can cause them harm.

While you don’t need to put anything down before mulch, you can apply a pre-emergent herbicide to prevent weed growth. As long as you remove weeds before you spread mulch, you should be in the clear. But a herbicide is something that you can put down before mulch as an extra layer of protection.

Trimming or removing trees promotes safety, prevents interference with structures or utilities, and enhances the aesthetic and health of the property landscape.
