"The house was already a chaotic mess because we were having the windows replaced at the same time. They showed up on time and had no issue working around the other installers. They were professional and had great personalities, easy to get along with. The flooring gave them some issues so the job took longer than expected, but they still charged the original quoted price. I would definitely use them again!"
"We bought a big deal that paid for the initial visit and a small chunk of the gutters we've been needing. Brad called us back right away and was out to evaluate our house and to give us a cost estimate for all we needed done within a few days. He had his team of installers here within a few more days. Brad was terrific, and his team did a high-quality job--we've had one rainstorm since to attest to the functionality of the gutters. I'd use these folks again in a heartbeat. "
"I have to admit, I was really disappointed with my overall experience. I was told that I could one time do a reimbursement. First off, why would you do that if you have already paid for service?!?! Then it took almost a week to get some one to address my situation. Now, I do realize that it does take time to get things rolling, but a week?? The gentleman that came to do the work was knowledgeable, but he didn't want to work with he Google representative to make sure that my NEST was/wasn't working properly. He was very short with the rep. and after several minutes of debating with him finally gave in and addressed both of our concerns. The other concern I had was, I was told that I would not have to pay anything this time, because of the delay, yet the rep. said I owed $65.00. He showed me the data he had and sure enough it said that I owed $65.00. Why, would a rep. from your own company tell me this and then turn around and not honor it?!?!? I sure hope that it doesn't take that long to get service the next time, that I need to have something done. What ever happened to customer service?? REALLY DISSSAPPOINTED!!!"
"Do make sure you think everything out in the beginning of what you really want to do. Don't change your mind mid way during remodeling, changes can cost more in the long run. Do have a good visual of what you want and make sure you write down and give to Roger in the beginning, keep a copy for yourself. Remember, he is the contractor, not the one living in your house. You need to let him know what you want. Roger has some good suggestions and ideas, but if you don't like his ideas, let him know. He's a nice guy and returns calls back very promptly. Get a completion date and DON'T do remodeling during all the major holidays. We did and it was horrible! We started in mid October and they just finished February 6th. But I love my new dining room, island in kitchen, granite, new hall, utility room and cabinets. I guess i would say it was worth the wait and I would hire Roger Allen again!! "
"My air conditioner was not working so I contacted my home warranty service and they sent a local company representative to checkout the problem. It was a capacitor - the technician installed the part and it has been working ever since."

"We have a 4,000 square foot two story victorian style house in the country that was suffering from neglect. We have attempted to refresh the paint in lower perimeter in the past, however, the upper level was something we could not handle. We called three different companies for estimates and selected API Construction. Raymond Ontiveros with API was the only company that gave us specific details of the work to be completed. Raymond Ontiveros came out to inspect the job and gave us an estimate within 24 hours. API was not the least expensive contractor, however, we felt they were able to complete all the work necessary. We felt confident they would produce a quality paint job and they would be able to complete the necessary repairs. We had a big party planned for October 29th and wanted the house finished before that date.
We signed a contract on Thursday with the work to begin on the following Monday. To our delight Raymond asked if they could get started on Saturday. They worked for at least three days to prep the house (including power wash, oil primer, scraping where needed, sealing, caulking and weatherproofing). The house had several area with water damaged masonite trim above the brick line. Raymond suggested we replace those areas with Hardie Plank siding which would keep the problem from recurring. They completed replacement of the water damaged lap boards; replaced the porch baluster spindles and reinforced loose soffits.
When they removed the lap board siding on the north side of the house under the bay window, they discovered a lot of water and termite damage that extended to a wood panel close to the window. They offered to replace the bad board and offered to seal the area between the brick line and the siding to prevent future damage. Since they have completed the repair, I have noticed they have eliminated the cold air draft from the bay window area.
The carpenter on the job, Carlos, pointed out one area along the south side of the house that needed a drainage problem addressed. The foundation of the house protruded out about five inches from the wall. This was an area where water would accumulate and cause water damage. (We wondered why the breezeway area would have water after a big rain) He suggested the installation of metal flashing that would divert the water away from the house. It works great. During the last rain, we didn't find water in the breezeway.
We really got excited when they started painting. The work went really fast. We could expect to see anywhere from two to ten workers on any given day. The hardest part of the job was all the detail trim. There are forty windows in the house and most have trim. The protected the windows with plastic sheeting and probably used hundreds of yards of masking tape. I don't know how they were able to work in some of the spaces between the house and the hedges. I washed the windows and I can confess some of the areas were really cramped. Raymond and his crew provided an excellent restoration and top quality paint job. Raymond would call every few days to make sure we were happy with the progress.
We are so excited with the finished product! Raymond promised when they finished, the house would look new and he didn't lie. They completed the work before the big party. We had lots of compliments from our guests about how nice our house looks. The house is almost twenty years old, however, it looks brand new!
I would definitely recommend API Construction to anyone looking for excellent workmanship, professional restoration and a quality paint project."

Roaches may not be quite as common on the top floors of a home, but they can easily climb up there if they want to. Second stories are less likely to have food sources and somewhat less likely to have moisture issues, so most roaches are attracted to bottom levels first. However, humid attics and similar spots can help roaches thrive.
A solution of one part bleach to 10 parts water or a disinfecting product that contains phenol (such as Lysol) is known to kill hantavirus and other pathogens found in mouse urine and feces. Simply spray this solution over and around the locations you expect mice to be living and running through, and the homemade disinfectant will do its job to rid your home of any feces and urine particles you could be exposed to.
No single deterrent will work 100 percent of the time, so we suggest combining deterrents to ensure your seed has the best possible chance to grow. Using bird netting over your seed, with physical deterrents like mylar tape coupled with hanging bird feeders at the edges of your growing area—and removing any bird’s nests, if possible—will give your seeds the best possible chance for success.
An outdoor mister can help repel certain bugs like mosquitoes, flies, and other pests. However, not all pesticides can be applied using a misting system. Mosquito treatments are particularly effective when applied this way because the insecticides that are inside of the water droplets dispersed through the area land in the places where mosquitoes (and their larva) are most likely to congregate.
Spraying for mosquitos is better than fogging. A mosquito barrier spray is designed to linger on surfaces and kill mosquitos for up to three weeks, and repeated visits from your pest control pro can keep mosquitos out of your yard all season long. Fogging is a short-term fix that only works for about 72 hours and doesn't kill mosquito larvae or eggs. If you’re concerned about the environment, a natural mosquito repellant may be better than either fogging or spraying.
