"We hired Jeff to demo our existing large, walk-in shower (including tile, walls and floor) and replace with all new materials and tile. He was methodical during demo and reconstruction, and kept all areas free of debris. The tile design we chose was intricate, and he approached the job with confidence and precision. Jeff was a great communicator and maintained a set schedule. We couldn't be happier with the result! The design is exactly what we'd envisioned, and we absolutely love our new shower. We highly recommend Jeff and look forward to working with him again someday."
"Chris was an angel. He returned my call very quickly and was able to squeeze in a window A/C installation that he normally doesn’t do amongst two other jobs on a holiday weekend. Chris went to a rough part of town and helped my cousin who is disabled. He was kind, courteous, and went out of his way in a heat wave to help. He makes it easier for myself, my grandma, and my aunt to sleep knowing that my disabled cousin with epilepsy will be in a cooler apartment. It’s the little things and going out of his way to make it happen. 1000% recommend!"

"Josh offered his opinion and expertise in completing our front yard project. Cleaned up all existing landscaping and installed river rock. The project was completed promptly and professionally. We have since used him for several other projects at our home, rental properties and referred him to family."
"I used Handyman Connections to replace exterior shutters, recaulk the bathtub and replace the shower door. Shawn was professional and did a great job on everything. I plan on using them again for some other projects that we need to have done around the house."
"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."
"The team quoted the project in the morning and finished installing my new mailbox after dark! Dedication! Very easy to work and communicate with their two man team. I plan to use them again on a future job."

Signs that your dryer is about to catch fire include a burning smell or the dryer and the clothes getting hotter than usual. If this happens, turn the dryer off immediately and call a repair professional. Another less urgent sign is that your clothes are taking longer to dry than normal. If this is the case, check the lint trap, vent, and duct to make sure they are all clean. If they are, you may need to call a pro to find the source of the issue.
While your forced heating system runs, it can pick up dirt, dust, hair, and other particles from inside your house.

However, staying up-to-date with your HVAC inspections and installing carbon monoxide sensors can help mitigate this risk.
