"In February, we contacted Ace Handyman Services South Pittsburgh (formerly Handyman Matters South Pittsburgh) to install crown molding in our master bedroom. Normally, my husband likes to complete our home repair projects himself, but he had never installed crown molding before. We did some research and found Ace Handyman Services South Pittsburgh, and we're so happy we did! Rich was our handyman, he arrived on time and did a beautiful job installing the crown molding! We have cathedral ceilings in our bedroom, which made this a more difficult task. Rich was very knowledgeable on how to tackle this project, and it turned out even better than we were expecting! The whole process, from booking the job to completing the work, exceeded our expectations. We highly recommend using Ace Handyman Services South Pittsburgh!"
"This is my second time using TedWen and couldnâ t be more pleased to have a professional that I can trust. I had an exterior door installed and made fit into what would have been for a custom fit door. TedWen improvised and problem solved on the spot to safe me a significant amount of money not having to buy a custom size door. This was a tricky install that was done perfectly. I couldnâ t be happier with with the finished product."
"Jesse drywalled a bathroom and utility area, repaired the ceiling and painted. When he was done it looked new again. Great work, on time and he stuck to his original bid. It was a much bigger job than I even thought once all the damaged drywall was removed."
"Installed new roof tiles on shed. Job was done well and finished in one day. Jeremiah was a pleasure to work with. Have more projects planned with him."
"Perfect! We had a wonderful experience with Champion Kitchen. From the beginning meeting with Steve with a beautiful design, to our installers who were so polite, clean, respectful, and professional. They worked so hard all day. The pricing was very fair and within 3 weeks I had a beautiful kitchen. I would not choose anyone else but Champion Kitchens. Thank you Steve for making by dream kitchen come true."

"I have a 1957 built ranch-style home that needed some major upgrades over the past 3 years. Those projects were all done by Dion at Three Rivers Remodeling. I met Dion back in 08/2011 through my neighbor (his in-laws) and the first project was my upstairs bathroom. I was impressed with Dion's professionalism, attention to detail/cleanliness, and punctuality. I was really impressed when Dion asked if it would OK for him to work on the bathroom on Labor Day. Since then, in 2011 Dion installed glass block windows in my garage and replaced the doors/base boards in the hallway. In 2012, Dion replaced a paneled wall in the living room with drywall, painted the living room, refinished the hardwood floors, and built stairs leading from the basement to the living area. In 02/2014, I hired Dion for a complete kitchen remodel. Finally, in 11/2014, Dion remodeled my downstairs bathroom. On that job, after he gutted the room we found several problems that we were not expecting. Dion worked most days until 9:00 (after asking me if that would be OK) in order to get the job done by the promised completion date while not sacrificing the quality of the finished project. When I show people the finished project, they are always very impressed by Dion's work. Dion does all the work himself and he is a bit of a perfectionist. I know that he prefers to do the job right as opposed to doing the job cheaply. I cannot say the same thing about the prior owners of my house. When we discovered the issues with the downstairs basement, Dion explained my options. What we could/could not get away with. What is the right way/workaround to correct the problem. Inevitably, with my experience with Dion, I trust his judgement and always authorize him to do it the right way. When it comes to pricing, I do my research and go into the project with a range on what I think it will cost. Dion always comes in within that range. Never overpriced and never a low-ball estimate. He discusses what needs to be done with me in layman's terms and his contract clearly discloses all the work to be done for the price. Any unanticipated costs (like on the downstairs bathroom) are clearly discussed, priced, documented, and presented to me for approval before Dion proceeds with any work. Oh, and Dion likes my dogs (and they love him) even letting them out for bathroom breaks while he's on the job. May seem trivial, but, just another example of the extra steps Dion takes to make the whole process a positive experience. "
Grab Bar Installation questions, answered by experts
Yes, burglar bars are highly effective at securing windows and deterring burglars. Intruders typically seek easy targets they can enter and exit quickly, so the presence of bars often convinces them to move on. If an attempt is made, the bars make the break-in more difficult, time-consuming, and likely to attract attention. Window security bars can withstand considerable force and are a relatively affordable, low-tech security solution that is easy for most homeowners to install. In addition to security, window bars also offer the benefit of protecting children and pets from accidental falls.
In addition to window well covers or bars, you can take a few more steps to boost basement window security. Try motion-activated lighting; it scares off potential intruders by lighting up when someone gets too close. Strengthening your window glass with impact-resistant security film can also deter forced entry. A dependable home security system with window sensors and cameras offers real-time monitoring and alerts for added protection. Lastly, fostering good relationships with neighbors can establish a supportive community watch network, enhancing your home's safety.
Strike plates and security plates are the same thing, but there are strike plates that offer more security than others. For the highest security, look for plates made of heavy-duty steel, reinforced strike plates thicker than regular ones, and extended strike plates. It’s much harder to break into a door with these strike plates because they hold up better to force from attempted entry.
Using proper equipment, ventilation systems, and adhering to application standards.
Yes, driveway gates can help secure your home by deterring burglars from accessing your property. Climbing a gate slows down burglars while also attracting attention to your gate. If you live further down your property and want to increase security, you can also install a gate security camera that connects to your gate and monitors the area for suspicious activity.
