This was not a complex job - just removing wet insulation and ceiling tiles, but Steve did a good job, and was very friendly and punctual.

He is young, but he pointed out that he has been immersed in the paving and construction business since he was about 9 years old. He said they could start the work the next week. On the first day that they were supposed to come, he called and said they had some equipment problems and rescheduled for later in the week. They came out on a Thursday morning and did most of the digging and patching. The next morning they finished the patching and left. He called a little later and said they would come back that afternoon to do the sealcoating. He completed the sealcoat in about an hour. He recommends not driving on it for 48 hours, so we had to work around that for the rest of the weekend, but now it is much better. It isn't perfect, it would have been better if we could have afforded to repave the whole thing, but I am satisfied with the results. The only complaints that I have would be: 1. They did damage some large areas of the yard with the bobcat, but that is probably hard to avoid. 2. They also spilled diesel fuel (they use it to clean their tools) in a couple of spots in the yard. 3. He got a little bit of black \"overspray\" from the sealer on some of our decorative items that were next to the driveway. If I had some warning, I would have spent more time moving things back from the driveway to prevent this. Overall, though, considering the cost, the quick service and the end result I would recommend Morgan for your asphalt driveways."},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/tn/chattanooga/whitener-paving-and-construction-reviews-5320686.htm"},"position":10}]}

Steve and his wife were so easy to work with! They fit us in as quickly as possible before the holidays and we are so appreciative! To say Steve was thorough with his inspection is an understatement. He went above and beyond what other inspectors would not have done or put detail into. He...
Very professional. There was a problem with the hardware and Tom took care of it right away (at some personal expense to himself). He came back and finished the installation the next day - which was Christmas Eve - because he know we wanted the system for the holidays. Superb service.

Holiday Decorating questions, answered by experts
Technically, you can use duct tape to hang Christmas lights, but it’s not the best bet. Duct tape or other types of tape retain moisture, which isn’t ideal when near an electrical wire. Plus, it can peel off due to the elements. Duct tape is also a very unattractive option, visually speaking. Instead, opt for roof clips for Christmas lights, which are affordable and easy to use.
Several Christmas light software options, like Vixen, LOR, xLights, Animated Lights, and Light-O-Rama, allow you to sync music to your Christmas light show right at home. All you need is a computer, the software, and a controller that connects to your laptop. Depending on your technical skills, you should choose more beginner-friendly software like Animated Lights or Vixen.
Inspect for burnt-out bulbs, secure connections, and protect from water exposure to maintain functionality.
Ensure you have a safe environment for them to work on, and there aren’t items such as logs, build-up of yard materials, missing or damaged shingles, and weak areas on the roof. Communicate any known electrical issues with contractors at the beginning of the project, and consider hiring an electrician to fix those. Finally, if you are attempting the project yourself, do so when there isn’t any rain, and you can safely get your footing on the roof using proper equipment, such as an extension ladder. Don’t attempt this alone, and have a helper nearby to assist.
There are several ways to hang Christmas lights safely. Here are some key Christmas light safety tips to keep in mind:
Always use Christmas lights and extension cords that are rated for outdoor use.
Don’t overload outlets by plugging in too many lights.
Opt for LED lights for a safer display that saves on energy costs.
Do not use old or broken Christmas lights.
