"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!"

"Wow! Called me 10 minutes after I posted busted water pipe inside the wall. Onsite within 2 hrs. Both Randy & Chris came. Randy talked us through everything needed. Chris didnt talk so much but got right to work and finished quickly. Chris gave us tips for maintenance we could do to prevent a future call for this issue. Will definitely call this company for future needs."
"We needed new gutter guards installed on our shed. Jesse thoroughly cleaned the gutters and professionally installed the new guards. The gutters were approximately 20 feet above ground level, and Jesse completed the work safely and efficiently. He arrived exactly as scheduled and worked diligently until the job was fully completed. We were very pleased with his workmanship, professionalism, and attention to detail."
"our handyman installer was very customer service oriented, friendly and easy to work with. he did the whole project uninstalling and installing the microwave over-the-range appliance in less than an hour (40-45 min). I really appreciated that Mr. Handyman offered the haul-away service of the old appliance that the other home handyman services I was considering did not. overall, it was excellent--a professional and efficient home installation service. the cost was also comparable with what Home Depot was charging. I will definitely keep Mr. Handyman in mind for any upcoming home projects we may need."
"I hired them for multiple projects many different times. Always on time and reliable service. They work clean and always had the job done. Highly recommended."
"Dave Aaronson is a quality pro who knows his stuff. He installed the front door and storm door and the fire door and the back door. He was so friendly and helpful. He was on time and finished in a timely fashion and he cleaned up after himself. I hope to hire him again."
"Gino @ Redline did several repair and upkeep jobs for us, including installing a new kitchen faucet, replacing the ballcock in the toilet tank, installing a new door knob, among other help. He was professional, reliable, courteous, got the jobs done. He even went above and beyond when we had issues with a fridge install (different company): he came back free of charge to help us move our heavy kitchen island to make space for moving the fridge. We offered a tip, but he declined that, too. To top it off, he told us to call him when it's time to move the island back. I highly recommend him."
Fire Pit Installation questions, answered by experts
Grounding is a great first step to prevent electrical shock, but you can take it further with GFCI outlets and AFCIs (arc fault circuit interrupters). In particular, AFCIs help protect against the type of electrical arcs that cause fires, like if a mouse chews on a wire or your laptop starts overheating at the wall. These are required in some areas of your home.
Pellet stoves are safer than wood stoves in many ways. They don’t produce as many creosote deposits as wood stoves do, they create less smoke, and the flames are contained, decreasing the risk of any sparks or embers creating a house fire. Pellet stoves also burn more cleanly and efficiently than wood stoves do.
Regular inspections, using dry wood, and installing chimney caps help maintain efficiency and safety.
Yes, you should seal and cap an unused chimney to protect it from damage. Sealing the structure helps prevent moisture damage, which can lead to issues like cracks, spalling, efflorescence, and damaged mortar joints. Capping the chimney is also crucial to prevent blockages, damage from invasive critters, and downdrafts, while still allowing for proper air ventilation to manage moisture. For the best results, consult a chimney professional to select the right type of chimney or flue cap for your home. It's also wise to continue with annual chimney inspections to maintain the structure's integrity.
A smoke alarm that beeps periodically, often every 30 to 60 seconds, usually indicates a low battery. The first step is to replace the battery. If this doesn't solve the problem, try resetting the alarm. However, beeping can also signal other issues, such as dust buildup in the sensors or the unit reaching the end of its life. Different beep patterns can mean different things; for example, multiple beeps might indicate an issue with a combination carbon monoxide detector, while a continuous, loud alarm means smoke has been detected. If a new battery doesn't stop the beeping, it's best to consult your alarm's manual, call a professional, or replace the unit.
