We are a family owned and operated Public Adjusting Firm that has been open since 1987. For over 30 years we have assisted homeowners through the property claims process and have bolstered our business based on our efforts to not only get the greatest settlement possible for our clients, but also by conducting ourselves as courteous professionals who treat our customers with a great deal of respect and consideration. Unfortunately the time when we usually meet for the first time is after some sort of tragic or catastrophic event in the life of a homeowner, i.e. a collapsed roof or burst stack pipe. However, given our attention to detail, knowledge of construction and vast amount of experience we are fully capable of walking you through these no doubt difficult to deal with situations and we can help you come out of it with a great sigh of relief and often a notion of surprise at how great and quick a settlement can come from the claims adjusting process. Give us a call for a free home walk-through and policy evaluation!

The team went above and beyond in every aspect?from assigning a dedicated representative to handle my claim, to guiding me through the entire process from start to finish. Every staff member I interacted with was friendly, professional, and extremely helpful whenever I had questions. I have used this company on three separate occasions, and each time they exceeded my expectations: When a neighbor?s tree fell on the back portion of my home. When I experienced a theft at my rental property, resulting in damages and losses. Most recently, after heavy rains caused significant roof damage to my home, including my top-floor"

He not only re-cleaned our flue that had just been done but installed a new flue into our badly constructed chimney. Even after having to cut into our chimney 2x to get the flue to fit he stuck to his original quote.

"I am a construction attorney who worked for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for 32 years before I retired. I also maintained a par-time practice throughout that time. and represented many home buyers. I found Mr. Muehlbronner from AHI, Inc., to be by far one of the most, if not the most competent and rigorous inspectors that I have had the pleasure of working with in my career. He uncovered numerous problems in the 1st house that was under contract . We had to walk away from the first house. This was the second house that he inspected for us within a month. Mr, Muehlbronner was well worth every penny spent on his consultation and inspection services. I would wholeheartedly recommend him without reservation."

We are a family owned and locally operated basement waterproofing company here in Central PA. We specialize in basement waterproofing and foundation structural repair, as well as water management systems. We use standard billing, which is 1/3 deposit, 1/3 third at start of job and 1/3 upon completion (this varies on job length). We have a variety of special promotional discounts and benefits through the internet, print advertising, and social networking sites. We have certain types of in-house financing available under special circumstances and can be utilized upon companies discretion. We really do care about our customers and want to make sure that every potential client is fully educated about their particular situation so that they can make a smart decision because they have all the facts. We don't want to "sell" anyone. We just want to help you get the right job done for the right price. Give us a shot. We will not let you down.

"Horrible - I had Mike out October of 2019 he impressed my wife and I with his knowledge and what seemed like a caring, stand behind his work man. I saved for 2 years to have Access basement system’s come out and do the job right. On day one the team gutted all exterior walls I was impressed. Day 2 woke up to water all over the basement because they did not reconnect a drain and water from the shower was dumped in the basement. On day 2 only 2 of his crew showed up and that was all we had for the next 2 weeks. The guys that did the work were good guys. No issue there only saw Mike to get money. Water is still coming through the walls worse then before and causing mold. 5 calls And NO response from the family business that cares. I have filed a complaint with the BBB and hope that we can get this resolved. Mike if you see this I hope that we can work this out and you hold up to “we will take care of you like family. “"

Colonial Remodeling is a Full Service Remodeling General Contractor in business since 1996 that is well known for its keen attention to detail, value-based pricing, and on-time project completion. Additionally, we specialize in projects using low maintenance exterior products without compromising on aesthetics and Design/Build home addition and remodeling projects. "Staying true to the character of the home and its neighborhood, that is the key to performing a great remodeling project," says Colonial Remodeling's owner Jon Hickox. "In many cases, it is just a matter of updating a home that needs a little TLC; however, this can also be a great opportunity to implement some additional changes and enhancements which can make a tremendous difference in the home's overall usability and curb appeal. Each home is a different case and it takes years of experience in order to make the proper recommendations as to what design updates make for a good fit for the home and the neighborhood. This is where our design team and craftsmen and all of their experience make the real difference." Whether it's designing and building a new porch, portico, or addition, or even choosing and installing the proper roofing, exterior siding and trim detail that restores the luster to your home that it's lost over the years, the designers and craftsmen at Colonial Remodeling will provide the professionalism, service, and high quality results that you expect. **Satellite office located at 600 Eagleview Blvd. Suite 300, Exton, PA 19341. We install James Hardie Siding.

"2nd review. 3 years ago I left a glowing review about Colonial. Chas Kubrick is AMAZING!! They were professional, the construction team did a fabulous job and I think I only found 3 nails. I purchased the upgraded roof and upgrade for beautiful Hardie siding. Fast forward to today and I'm leaving a 1 Star review. Why? Because last week I called about some problems and learned that they only warranty their work product for 2 years~ small but important fact that must have been in the contract and I missed. It certainly wasn't spoken. I recall the wonderful Hardie as well as the CertainTeed Roof warranties but nothing about a 2 year repair warranty from Colonial. Given that information would I have chosen a different company? Of course! I have 2 major problems, a leak inside of my sunroom as well as a problem with the siding which has destroyed a window and French door. A technician came out for the door and explained the when the siding was installed on the deck, they failed to do the flashing. And well, you can see in results in the pictures. When contractors come to provide estimates without missing a beat, each says I shouldn't be having these problems after 3 years and that Colonial should repair. I explain the 2 year clause they laugh and proceed to share their warranties and that Colonials isn't the standard. Two years? That's the honeymoon stage problems seldom arise. So, here we are, either file a claim with the roof and siding manufacturers, pay out of pocket OR file a claim with my insurance company. Each option sucks because I went with a company which doesn't provide an actual warranty for their work product. Don't be me, be better."

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

Yes, floor joists are essential structural components. They support the weight of floors and everything on them, transferring loads to the foundation and walls. Properly installed joists are necessary for maintaining strength, stability, and structural integrity.

Proper licensing and experience in residential and commercial structural projects.

Foundation cracks that are 1/8 inch wide or less, aren’t uneven across the gap, and don’t continue widening over time are usually just normal settling cracks and don’t suggest structural issues. Horizontal cracks and stair-step cracks on foundation walls, any cracks that continue widening, are wider than 1/8 inch, or where one side juts out beyond the other, are often indicative of structural damage.

Many horizontal cracks in home foundations result from water and soil pressure from outside of the building or from a footing that is shifting. Under those circumstances, horizontal cracks are a structural problem that requires repair before they become worse and more difficult to fix. However, in very specific cases, thin horizontal cracks may simply be a cosmetic blemish due to concrete shrinkage.

Building codes for spiral staircases will vary by your location. Most local codes will specify minimum tread width, riser height, handrail requirements, and headroom. These standards help ensure safety and accessibility for all users. Always check local codes before you begin the installation to ensure compliance and avoid costly modifications or fines.
