"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."

Higher ground is a holistic drainage company for residential and commercial properties. We specialize in renovations and maintenance for every thing affected by rainwater. In short if rainwater touches it we install repair and maintain it. The roof, gutter, flashing and drainage systems on your home are its armor against the elements. A weakness in this armor leaves your home open to damage causing leaks, foundation seepage and landscaping washout. Protect your home by having professionals maintain your gutters regularly. Our technicians are highly trained in spotting damage and wear before it becomes costly. At Higher Ground we do not sell a product, we sell solutions and results wrapped in polished customer service unparalleled in our industry. When it comes to your home maintenance and renovation budget know that everything drop counts.

"In the end, not well. We needed a leaking gutter seam fixed at our vacation house because it was dripping on our deck and ruining our stain. Higher Ground came out and made a repair in June 2022, which supposedly fixed the leak. We then arranged to have our deck restained. Since this is a vacation house, we weren't able to go back to the house until August 2022. At that point we discovered that the seam was still leaking onto our newly restained deck. We contacted Higher Ground via email and phone to try to get them to come out and finish the fix. They were not very responsive and got a little nasty about only allowing 10 days for "quality control issues" on their work, even after I explained that we are not down at the house full time to be able to see that it wasn't really fixed. So they refused to make good on their work. From my perspective, I paid for a leak repair and did not get a leak repair."

Need an electrician in Knoxville? Or an electrical contractor for residential, commercial and industrial electrical installations and repairs? Then call us today. We provide a full range of electrical services for your home and business at an up-front flat-rate price, and offer 24/7 service. Renowned for courtesy and attention to detail, our expert team is also available for new construction contracts. We serve all of the Knoxville, TN area. The Right Way - The Only Way.

"The technician came to check on it and was very nice and polite. He was able to trouble shoot wiring and put in the new dimmer switch but said that the problem was the chandelier and not the wiring so it needed to be repaired. He said at then end of the visit that I should just give them and call after it was repaired and they would come by and hang the chandelier back up as part of the service call. I called today and different technician came by and wanted to charge an additional $290 to hang the fixture. This would have made a total of almost $600 plus the cost to repair the chandelier. I realize that all rates on everything have gone up but this is ridiculous. I have a friend who renovates houses that will hang it for me. I have nothing personally against this company...but the they should complete the job they started without having to charge double. I asked them to have the manager, Jason, call which he did but his answer was basically "sorry...it is what it is". I could either pay for another service call or leave my chandelier on the dining room table. Bottom line: Be sure if you hire this company and they do not complete the job on the visit you will be charged again for the second service call."

Water and Smoke Damage Repair questions, answered by experts

The first thing you should do when cleaning smoke damage is open all your windows to ventilate the affected area and run an air purifier with a HEPA filter. Cover your furniture and belongings to prevent soot accumulation, and vacuum any soot that’s on the floor and other surfaces. Be sure to wear a mask, gloves, and eye protection when cleaning the affected area.

Hazard insurance is the part of your overall homeowner's insurance policy that covers the structure of your home and other structures on your property, as well as any personal property within those structures. When a lender requires you to get hazard insurance for your new home purchase, they’re referring to a standard homeowner’s insurance policy.

Yes, most homeowner’s insurance companies cover smoke damage if it stems from a covered issue, like a house fire or a wildfire. If you’re unsure, you can read through your policy or call your provider immediately after the event to see if the damage is covered. Make sure to document all of the damage, including damage to furniture and other items, when you file an insurance claim so you can be properly compensated.

Smoke damage remediation time will depend on the extent of the damage, but most remediation takes between one day and one week. Homes that require significant material restoration will take longer than homes that only have minor smoke damage to clean. A smoke damage restoration pro can estimate how long it’ll take to get you safely back in your home. 

Homeowners insurance does not cover DIY mistakes, so tread lightly if you plan to tackle your own home repairs or renovations. If you cause damage to your home while attempting repairs or renovations yourself, the cost of fixing the damage is often considered your responsibility. Most policies only cover damage caused by covered perils like fire, theft, or weather—not by homeowner errors.
