We have 10 employees adn have been in business since 2005. We do sub-contract a few services. We often have promotions and they can be seen on Facebook or on our website. We offer six months SAC financing all the time.

"We purchased a new Wood Stove from Creekside to replace the Coal Stove that was in our new house. The crew showed up on time, removed the old stove and installed the new one in an amazingly quick manner. Everything works perfectly. They even cleaned the chimney. Since the Coal Stove was relatively new ( we just don’t like Coal), Creekside put the Stove in their inventory and sold it on consignment for us. What a great group of people! Would definitely recommend them and will definitely use them in the future."

""Unfortunately, our experience has been extremely disappointing. Communication throughout the process has been poor, with long stretches of silence and repeated failure to respond to emails or calls. There was no clear follow-up on progress, and we constantly had to chase for updates. When we receive responses, they were often filled with vague explanations or shifting excuses for delays due to the weather. Timelines are consistently missed, and at no point have we felt the situation is being handled proactively or professionally. What could have been resolved with timely, honest communication and accountability continuously turns into a frustrating and drawn-out ordeal.""

"Dishonest, Unprofessional, Shoddy Work* I’ve read people’s horrible experiences with contractors in the past and always cringed and felt sorry for them but thought, “wow, glad that wasn’t me.” Well, my time came with JR’s Quality Tile & Hardwood. From the start, the owner, Fred, made the experience difficult and it only got worse from there. And yes, I should have listened to my gut at first hint of problem but after reading so many positive reviews online I pressed on. I hired the company to remodel my bathroom after a water leak. I selected all the materials, got the quote and then out of the blue, Fred started asking me to consider other materials but could never provide a clear reason. Living in an old house where there are no even floors, I worried that his questions were steering me to a product better suited for the unevenness in my bathroom but when I repeatedly asked why he only said ‘comfort’ and ‘warmer under foot’. Most of the remodel was done by Tommy, with whom I have no complaints. He did great work installing the tile. The problems I had were solely with Fred and his son. The wainscotting I selected was to be painted, however, once the tile was done the plumber reinstalled the sink and toilet on Fred’s direction meaning that proper painting could not be done behind those items. I asked Fred how the painting would be done and he replied in email, “we’ll do our best to paint around it.” For a $10k+ job I don’t expect half-assed work and I said so. At this time, Fred also told me that they were 25% over budget and wanted to ‘give me a heads up’ so I knew before I got the bill. Never mentioned any of this earlier in the project when the overruns started! He argued with me that the wainscotting really didn’t need painting though I had a line item in quote for painting, and I sent photos of the blemishes, pencil marks and writing (someone wrote ‘TOP’) on the waincotting; then he felt that he shouldn’t have to pay for the plumber’s time; then he finally agreed to the plumber and told me that this son would be doing the painting. After his son was onsite for a few hours and got one coat done on the baseboards, trim and wainscotting he was supposed to return the next day to finish, but oops he forgot that he had orientation for a new job he was starting and wouldn't be back as Fred told me the morning of so Fred came to finish the work. He was onsite for a few hours, painted a bit and reinstalled the toilet and sink. After a few days, I was able to fully see the shoddy work the son and Fred did. In addition to not fixing the over-sanded trim, the baseboards and wainscotting were never caulked before painting so there were large cracks in every seam, many of pencil marks on the wainscotting were still visible, Fred grouted around the pipes in the floor connecting the radiator which my heating company told me should never have been done as it constricted the expansion / contraction needs of the pipes and could have caused huge issues. I spent more than $1,000 to fix the problems Fred and his son created and to properly finish the work they should have done. I deducted this from the amount I agreed to pay, documenting all of the issues he left with photos. When he replied to my email he had the gall to mention that he never even tried to fix the over-sanded trim. Without a doubt THE worst ‘professional’ I’ve ever worked with."

Heavenly Heat Infrared Saunas are made for the chemically sensitive. That means that our infrared saunas create an ideal, safe, and effective detoxification environment for anyone seeking to eliminate toxic substances from their body.

"Terrible! Wish I had gone with another company. Here is the issue with Heavenly Heat. If your sauna arrives damaged or and issue arrives -- they have zero technical support. Your repairs will be done by any "joe" that heavenly heat finds to do the repair in your area. They will have no experience with Sauna's and are given no instructions regarding the chemical free aspect of these sauna's. The worst part is the buyer, me, was treated as if I was the problem for wanting my sauna repaired correctly. I would have refused the delivery had I realized I was receiving a damaged sauna and would have to spend hours and days trying to get this resolved. The owner, Bob Morgan, is extremely responsive before he has your money but after, is a different story. When inquiring about the sauna he would respond generally within 10 minutes. After you purchase, and particularly if you have a problem with it, you are treated as if you're a nuisance. My sister bought a competitors sauna around the same time and the service she received from knowledgable representatives was a world of difference from my experience. My other issue was that there were shipping delays and Bob would never communicate them. I would have to pursue him to get information. I think they make a decent sauna but I would not recommend for reasons stated above."

Pool and Spa Servicing questions, answered by experts

Using bubble bath, bath oils, bath salts, or moisturizing products that contain butters or oils can damage your jetted tub. Because of the water pump and jet mechanism, you need to be more selective with products for a jetted tub than you would for a traditional bathtub in order to keep it functioning properly and avoid expensive repairs. These products also leave residue that can feed mildew and mold, so it’s best to avoid them.

If water is left inside the hot tub pump over a cold winter, it could freeze and severely damage the pump, water lines, and jets. That can cause leaks, which require very expensive repairs. Freezing or leftover water can stain and damage the hot tub shell, which leads to replacement. Even in mild climates, leaving sitting water in the tub or pipes for a long period of unuse is a bad idea, since disinfecting chemicals fade and the water can develop bacteria, algae, and other big headaches when it’s time to use the tub again.

Hot tub repair costs are less expensive than purchasing a new one, especially if your warranty is still intact. You can shop for a secondhand unit or find a deal for a trade-in. If the price to repair your hot tub is higher than the cost of a new one, consider replacing your unit.

For a fully-foamed hot tub, freezing typically occurs when the temperature drops below 28 degrees Fahrenheit and remains at or below this level continuously for a minimum of 36 hours. If your hot tub and pumps are still operational, however, the water circulates, and this continuous movement helps prevent freezing, even in very cold conditions. This circulation, along with the insulation provided by the foam, helps maintain the water temperature and prevent it from freezing during extended cold periods. Still, if you’re not planning to run it regularly, be sure to winterize the hot tub properly to prevent damage from freezing.

Most outdoor hot tubs last between five and 20 years, excluding inflatable tubs, which last five to seven years. High-quality, maintained tubs can last decades, while low-quality, poorly maintained tubs may not hit five years. A good warranty, professional installation, quality materials, and proper maintenance will help a tub last longer.
