"Had three contractors bid the job, chose AIR Roofing above the others. I was very satisfied with the quality of the materials used, the installation crews attention to detail, the price, responsiveness and overall quality of the job."
"Called in claim on 6/18; tech assigned on 6 /19; so far so good. Claim was for failed well pump with NO water to my home with two disabled seniors. Due to heavy workload and no extra pay on weekends the tech came for diagnostics 4 days later. He verified the failed pump and tried to purchase one at Home Depot. None in stock, had to be ordered. Pump came in on 6/30 and tech arrived today, 7/1, and expertly installed the new pump. Choice has a $ 500 limit on well repair, which is 1/3 of a typical bill. That dollar cap is riduculous. On a positive note, C-Force provides expert work for Choice and would be my choice for any future work."
"went good. pretty satisfied, except they missed installation of a gutter water direct thing on the roof which was quoted, but I was too busy to get back with them at the time to fix. "
"Called AHS....who sent service request to AAA Flexible Pipe. Adam came out quickly and installed new pump just before HEAVY rains hit...Fast and efficient service from AHS and AAA FLEXIBLE PIPE CLEANING."
"For the price that we paid, I feel that we received a good value. The work was done well and in a somewhat timely manner. There was a delay when the painter had to leave town due to illness in the family. This was unavoidable and Roger communicated with us throughout. Roger's employees are true artist. They came up with affordable solutions for some issues that we had. There are a few places that the paint work was a little sloppy, but considering that we paid about 20% less than the next lowest estimate, we can't complain. The reason that we won't use this company again? The valve that supplies water to our dishwasher broke off during a day early on in the remodel. This was no fault of the crew, just an old valve. The problem is that no one told us this had happened. We turned our dishwasher on and left and when we came back, everything inside, including the end of one of the washer "blades" had melted. I called Roger and we agreed that we would pay to fix the valve and he would pay to replace the damaged dishwasher "blade". He advised me that he had ordered the part, which I had researched and knew to cost around $90. Three weeks later, he said that the part still had not come in. I advised him that I would like to withhold the $125 balance for the completed job until the part was installed. He agreed that was fair. It is 2 months later and we never heard back from Roger about the replacement part. Not only has he not called us, but he has ignored the 2 times that I attempted to contact him to ask about the part. This is extremely unprofessional. If not for that one thing, I would definitely hire him in the future. It's a shame that he ended our contact this way. "

"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."
Sump Pump Installation questions, answered by experts
If your sump pump isn’t engaging, it might be clogged with dirt and debris. Check to see if the fitting lid is loose and has been letting debris in. Next, check the float and make sure it’s not obstructed by rust or gunk, which results from insufficient maintenance. Tangled wires or damaged switching systems can also stop your sump pump from engaging.
A sump pump should be placed at least three feet deep in a pit. The rim of the sump pump basin should be level with your basement floor. If you find your pit is too deep, you can fill the bottom with gravel until the rim of the sump pump is flush with the floor.
A sewage ejector pump is necessary if you have any plumbing fixtures, such as a bathroom, laundry room, or sink, located below the level of your home's main sewer line. Standard plumbing relies on gravity to move wastewater and solid waste to the municipal sewer or septic tank. However, for fixtures located below grade (e.g., in a basement), gravity is not sufficient.
The purpose of a sewage ejector pump is to actively pump this wastewater and solid waste upward into the main sewer line. Without an ejector pump in this situation, wastewater would have no way to exit and would eventually back up, causing a sewage overflow or flooding in your basement. If all of your home's plumbing is on the main floor or higher, gravity can handle the drainage, and an ejector pump is not needed.
Inspect the pump annually, test the float switch, and clean the discharge line to ensure efficient operation.
Yes, many modern water pumps are designed with energy efficiency in mind. Look for pumps with high efficiency ratings or those with an Energy Star certification. These pumps consume less power and can reduce your utility bills. Additionally, variable-speed pumps are more efficient since they can adjust the flow based on demand, providing significant savings over time.
