"A crew from Groundworks installed eight floor supports and encapsulated our crawl space last week. Jorge, Isaac, Kenny, Zacch, and Anthony did a great job! They worked very long hours to complete our project in a timely fashion and were great to interact with. They identified several plumbing and air duct problems and brought them to my attention. Jorge, the team leader, was great about communicating with me and keeping me well informed. The after job clean-up was very thorough. Jorge has been available by phone for my questions even after they have moved on to another job. These guys are very deserving of five stars. Also, I want to give a shout out to Anthony who did our inspection/estimate. He was very thorough and patient and made everything understandable. Another five-star guy!"
"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 you’re wondering if your home even needs a sump pump, consider whether you’ve struggled with flooding issues in the past. If your house is in a flood-prone area, your yard has poor drainage, or you’ve dealt with any other water problems, then it’s likely well worth it to replace your old sump pump with a new one.
In most cases, standard homeowners insurance policies do not cover damage from a sump pump failure or overflow. Coverage for water damage is often limited to sudden, unexpected events like a burst pipe that was not caused by negligence. To be covered for sump pump issues, you will likely need to purchase a specific rider, endorsement, or additional water backup insurance. If your insurer offers this type of coverage, they may require proof that your sump pump is regularly maintained.
A sump pump battery backup can typically run for 6 to 24 hours. The factors that affect its runtime include the battery capacity and pump usage.
When purchasing your backup system, take these factors into consideration to determine which system is best for your home. If you live in an area with frequent and long-lasting power outages, consider a longer-lasting backup battery.
No. Sump pumps have different capacities, which refers to the volume of water that they can remove. They also come in various horsepower ratings, which measure the size of the pump’s motor. For many homes, 1/3 horsepower is enough. But if you live in an area that floods often, you might need a more powerful model.
Sewer ejector pumps need to be cleaned at least once a year by a professional. You shouldn’t attempt to clean it yourself because it can release sewer gasses that are toxic to humans and can be fatal. But to keep the system as clean as possible between professional inspection and cleaning services, be sure to only flush human waste and toilet paper. Avoid flushing items that can clog the system, like paper towels, grease, oil, or menstruation products.
