1.) He called me the same day that I left a message on his number which I found on Angie's List. 2.) He identified himself! (Honestly, that's a first!) 3.) I think I called him on a Wednesday and told him that I wanted a new driveway. He promised to go look at the site by the end of the week and call me back with a quote. Which he did. 4.) He told me he could do the job (which, at this point, was just a driveway) and how he would do it, how much it would cost and said he would send his bid in an email. He told me also that he wouldn't be able to get to the job until after the holidays. I was a little disappointed as the house was vacant and I was expecting tenants at the end of December, so this seemed like the perfect time. But I was swayed by all his good reviews - he's a busy man for good reason and I'm a reasonable person. His materials were of a higher quality than other bids I received, 4" of 4000PSI cement, 2" of base material, 1/2" rebar on 12" centers both ways. His price was just a little higher. But not unreasonably so. So waiting wasn't a deal breaker. His written bid received shortly thereafter. 5.) The week before Christmas, Mr. Barr called to say that he'd had a customer cancel a job which opened up a spot for my job. Would I be interested in proceeding the week after Christmas? Holiday calculations were made hastily - I live 125 miles from SA. Yes! Lets proceed! He had told me that 1/2 the fee would be due on starting and offered to meet me to pick up a check. At that point he did not understand that I did not live in town. Once we cleared up that issue, he was able to take my payment via credit card over the phone. I had a receipt in my in-box within 30 minutes. 6.) Mr. Barr had the prep work underway and completed the week before Christmas. He texted me pics of the progress at the end of every days' work. He met the incoming tenants one day and called me with their request: would I be interested having him install a sidewalk between the driveway to the house?Hmmm. Mr. Barr said,"I can spray paint in the outlines and text you a pic. You could see if you like it." And I did! Great idea. Proceed. He made it with a gentle curve that embraced the front of the house and complimented the original sidewalk from the front door to the street. An elegant and subtle esthetic on the fly so to speak - beyond simply going from point A to point B in a straight line. The additional expense of the sidewalk was worth the new "eye-appeal" of the house. 7.) The day of the pour, Dec. 30, it was bitter cold and drizzling. I pulled up at 10 am, the time Mr. Barr had told me work would begin. The cement truck was already pouring, the crew was slogging and shoveling and directing the cement and Mr. Barr was right in there with them, rubber-booted and working hard. Have I painted a picture here? A man who works hard at all levels of his job, who does what he says he's gonna do, and does it with skill and at reasonable cost and in the time he said it he would do it. And with add-ons! A good humored, kind, articulate and gracious person; Mr. Barr is what used to be known as the salt of the earth. What more could you ask?

It was one day when my cars A/C did not work and the people from Advance Auto Parts referred me to this great mechanic. I went to his house told him the symptoms of the car and he was able to fix it that same day! Next, after he was done he noticed my car had some strange noise coming out. Then he asked me if my car had trouble starting. To which I replied that indeed it did hesitate when i started it because it was so old. We are talking about my Cadillac Deville 1999 here. So he said that it was the ignition wire Set 1. So he then again fixed that on that same day! And he is such a great sport because he was working on my car until like 9:30 pm instead of living to his family. He is a great person. After, I recommended him to my mother and my cousin. They all had their A/C's repaired there and they havent complained so far so I think he also did a great job for them.

I trusted the salesman in that they were going to repair it and level the house. Although, if youread the contract there is no promise of leveling, so buyer beware. I was quoted $5K for the job, then after the first day they came in and told me that it would need additional reinforcement work that would be another $5K. I could see that it did need additional reinforcement so I paid and engaged. The workers were punctual and diligent, and I could see where they were in fact reinforcing the floor. However, at the end of the week when it came time to level, I was told they could not lift on the sunken area because it was too damaged -- that the house would not bear it. Looking at the contract, I didn't see any recourse, so I was out $10K and had a crooked house with the only difference that the floor was now reinforced underneath, but the problem area was not fixed. Fast forward later, and I've engaged another foundation repair team, who did the following:
* Fixed conditions that they found: including beams which were no longer touching the concrete piers. (note: whether this was due to shoddy workmanship or settling over time I cannot confirm).
* Directly addressed the biggest problem area and lifted it in one day.
* Charged a really fair price and actually addressed the problem area.
All in all I was very very disappointed with this company's work, but had accepted that I was just out of luck in trying to level the house. It wasn't until someone else came in and fixed the issue in one day that I realized that I paid so much money and should have had the house leveled the first time.

FAQs for phone repair projects in El Cenizo, TX
The average cost to repair a cellphone is around $180, but prices range from $20 to $250 or more, depending on the type of repair. Some of the less expensive common repairs include charging port or headphone port repair, which averages around $60, and minor water damage, which can total as low as $30 in some cases. Screen repair—the most common cellphone repair needed—averages around $180 and can fall between $100 and $350, depending on the extent of the damage.
It is possible to fix a broken phone screen yourself using a phone repair kit, but we don’t recommend it. Replacing your screen isn’t as simple as taking the old one off and putting the new one on, and DIYers can mess up many steps. Those include opening the phone without damaging internal components, removing internal pieces without breaking them, and calibrating the screen after replacement. Any mistakes could lead to problems with functionality and might lead to your phone failing to work. It’s best to hire a phone repair technician who can fix your phone screen efficiently.
A cellphone repair technician is the person that typically repairs phones, and there are specialties within that position, like a cellphone screen repair technician. In most cases, you can send your phone to your manufacturer for repair, but this option usually takes significantly longer and costs more than hiring a local cellphone repair specialist. If you choose a reputable repair technician, the repair will be more or less identical to what the manufacturer would provide.
Yes, it’s usually more cost-effective to repair a cellphone than replace it entirely. Phone repair services can be costly, depending on the extent and type of damage, but you’ll almost always spend less on repair than on replacement. Plus, replacing the phone might not help if the problem lies with your service provider, such as issues like dropped calls or poor network connection. However, it’s worth repairing your phone for mid-level issues like a cracked screen, damaged headphone jack, or smashed charger port.
In most cases, it is more affordable to repair a cellphone than it is to buy a new one. The average cost to repair a phone is around $180, while the average smartphone costs between $720and$1,000 or more. Repair costs are almost never more than 50% of the total phone cost, with the high end of repairs costing around $350. If you hire a professional phone repair service near you, you’ll usually save significant funds repairing instead of replacing your cellphone.
