If that was mentioned, I wouldn't have responded. The next day, I was texted an invoice for$49, which I will not be paying. They KNOW if they mention $49, people won't use them. They should be reprimanded, i find it scammish."

"Worst experience I have ever had with remodelers. They installed my pergo flooring in my kitchen and it began to come up. It was well within the warranty period. We called and left messages with the owner Sean for 3 months before one of his workers, Gregory. Gregory told me that he was going to give me a deal. I would only have to pay for the flooring but he would pay for the service to redo the floor. I did not understand how this was a good deal since I had already paid to have a job done correctly the first time. Finally Sean, the owner agreed that since they did the job poorly and my floors looked so bad that he would pay. This was after my stepdad got so angry that he told Sean he was going to file a lawsuit. We all thought that was really nice, until they came and screwed up in the linoleum floor I had decided to put in. They were getting ready to leave, after the installation. It was only after we had to stop them and show them all of the bubbles that they left in the flooring.The used a roller to try to get the bubbles out and all it did was leave creases. Reason being, they had not taken the glue off the floor where they had previously glued the tiles. The pattern on the glue was coming though the smooshed up vinyl. That is how they left it. It looks horrible. They had it written down that they would take the glue off but then they did not. I thought new floors would be a selling point. How am I going to advertise new floors when they seriously look 10 years old? Again, called the owner Sean, multiple times. We asked him if he would come over and look, no response. The only time we ever heard from him, after 3 months was when my stepdad was so mad he was ready to file a lawsuit and he told Sean that. I'm sorry but you mess up not once but twice and the second time you don't even have the decency to come out and have a look?"

Water Softeners questions, answered by experts

Yes. Hard water is what causes scale buildup, and a whole-house filter provides numerous benefits beyond water softening. Any water that enters your home will go through the filter, which cleans up all water that you will use for cooking, bathing, and drinking. A whole-house water filter also blocks harmful particles like heavy metals.

Water softener installation costs vary, but on average, homeowners will pay between $200 and $6,000. Due to their location, complexity, type of unit, and water demands, water softeners have a very wide price range. That being said, the average installation cost for most homes is around $1,500.

The most accurate way to determine whether you have hard water is to purchase a water test kit from a hardware store or send a tap water sample to a lab. But there are some signs you can look out for without professional testing. For instance, if you're consistently dealing with mineral stains on your glassware, windows, and shower doors, you're likely to have hard water. Hard water can also make it harder to lather and rinse soap, so if you're struggling to work up a good lather in the shower, hard water might be the culprit.

Most experts agree there’s not much difference health-wise between hard water versus soft water. That said, hard water is more likely to cause skin dryness and issues that go along with it, like an itchy or flaky scalp. Hard water can also decrease the life span of your household appliances and make it more difficult for soap to do its job.

DIY installation is sometimes plausible, improving efficiency and reducing expenses, but adherence to safety practices guarantees optimal performance.
