"I recently asked for some estimates for painting our entire home exterior, having our three sets of stairs rebuilt, fixing several of our windows, and repairing several door jams. After reviewing the estimates in detail, I decided to go with Shane Franich of GreenFrog LLC. He was always prompt and courteous, and answered all my calls and messages on a timely basis. His estimate was very reasonable for the work being provided, and along with Marco of Prime Construction, did an excellent job on the painting and repair of our home. I would definitely use them again for any future projects!"

"Lesson learned. Always get an estimate. BEFORE the work is done. At least a digital copy. Arrangements for the project were made, with some one named Lynn, for the company to send someone to complete the work. We were quoted over the phone 4500-5000 which included a mold test. A sub contractor with an entirely different company (National Mold Company) was sent. When the contractor arrived, he stated that the job would be much more simpler than first thought. This led us to believe that the job would cost less, no. All said and done, they charged $5500. All said and done, it's almost like no work was done. The stains and the smell are still there. Only one actual board was taken upon the attic room. The ceiling in the bedroom was primed and painted but are still visible and have a funky smell. At this point I'm going to. Do what we should have done; Do the job ourselves. Just now with $5500 less dollars in our pockets. A detailed receipt was not given even though it was requested."

Full service home inspection - 3 Home Inspection Packages to choose from

"Michael was our inspector. He arrived a little before the scheduled appointment and got right to work. Very professional and knowledgeable. He took time to explain what he was seeing as he worked his way through the house. The inspection report was detailed with a list of concerns as well as maintenance recommendations for prevention of future issues. I like how Pillar to Post gives you 3 tiers of pricing depending on how involved (or not) you want the inspection to be. I purchased the premium tier which allows for follow-up and consultation after the fact which I find very helpful. Would definitely use Pillar to Post again for any future home purchases."

Radon Detection and Reduction questions, answered by experts

Radon enters your home when warm air begins to rise and exits through the roof, creating a vacuum that pulls cooler air from under the foundation. Part of that air is radon, which is an invisible, odorless gas that develops naturally when radioactive particles are deep within the ground. Those particles usually come from decaying matter in soil and rocks.

Properties should ideally be tested for radon every 2 to 5 years or sooner when changes to the property structure or ventilation occur that might impact airflow.

The only way to determine if you have a radon problem in your home is to have professional testing done. You can buy DIY radon test kits, but these are sometimes inaccurate in certain temperatures and humidity levels, and they don’t paint the entire picture in terms of your radon exposure. Scheduling testing once every two to five years is best. You can also look out for the following symptoms, which, according to the American Cancer Society, are symptoms of radon exposure:

  • Shortness of breath

  • Cough

  • Tightness in the chest

  • Difficulty swallowing

  • Hoarseness

Installing a mitigation system reduces radon levels, which can cause lung cancer, providing peace of mind and long-term health benefits. It can also increase your home’s value, as many buyers prefer properties with radon safety measures in place. The investment is relatively low compared to the potential health risks associated with prolonged radon exposure.

A radon test has no effect on humans—only the radon in the air does. The test does not redistribute the radon that is already present so yes, it’s safe to be around the testing kit even if it isn’t safe to be in the room itself. The test absorbs and measures the radon, but doesn't absorb enough of it to make the room any safer.
