I come from a long bloodline of masonry workers, after 15 years in the business I decided to open my own company and have a highly skilled team of 26 employees. I'm competitive and value my work.
Hi, my name is tiara I have a passion for cleaning and helping others I would love to clean for you! \n\nInsta: @cleanedby.tiata\nFacebook: cleanedby tiara
"When they got here, it went great, but getting them here was a pain. They got in, they got out. In 40 minutes, they were done. They did a great job. They cleaned up after themselves. They set up everything well. They were very professional. That part was great. Getting them out here, that was a mess because their office situation is a complete total mess. I called them up one week prior. Basically, the under-mount sink was coming up off of the granite and in order to put back, get the granite company out to use a special epoxy to put it on. I didn't know that so I called the plumber first and they were like, "No you need to get the granite company". So, I called it on to the granite company. I asked them, "Can you confirm on Monday when you can be out there and I'll be out at my house". And they said okay. They didn't call and confirm on a Monday. Then, we tried to reschedule. So, I took a morning off from work. I'm at the house and probably like 9:45 almost 10:00, I called them up and said, "Hey, where are you guys? Are you guys showing up? Are you lost or something?" And they're like, "Oh, we didn't realize it was today. " We got rid of that girl who was taking down notes but she wasn't really taking down notes. But, what about next Tuesday? So, I took another day off from work, another morning off from work. They showed up about that time. It was really a disaster for them to come out here."
"I telephoned and left a message asking him to call me about chimney sweeping. I took about one day before Mr. Austin contacted me but he immediately set an appointment for the day he called. He arrived on time, assessed requirements and quoted a price that seemed reasonable. He explained what he needed to do and then set right to work after moving a few items out of the way. It took him about one hour to complete the job and remove a large pile of cresote that he had swept from the chimney. He cleaned up thoroughly after completing his work and left everything in good order. I can recommend him without reservation for chimney cleaning services. "
"It was fine, but nothing special. I live alone in a 3 bedroom house, and I pointed out which bedroom and bath I use. Those rooms were the last to be cleaned. There was absolutely nothing wrong with the job she did and she was a lovely person, but the house didn't sparkle and I wouldn't use the service again."
"Lucio and his crew are amazing. I hired him for roofing, siding, window installation, rock footing/underpinning, new concrete driveway and sidewalks, among other home remodeling. His crews were some of the hardest workers. Always professional, excellent workmanship, and worked with urgency to help me complete my house project timely. Pricing was fair and Lucio was always available for getting to add on services! I will definitely use him as needed in future!"
"Comment: Autograph Construction was amazing to work with! We were having an unknown issue with our windows and Jess and his team were able to identify the roof cause. They are a team that we could trust to help us identify the issue and also trust to have the issue taken care of properly. The team was extremely knowledgeable and very friendly and communicative. I would hire them again in a second."
Running a gas fireplace is potentially cheaper than using central heating if you are heating a single room and don’t need to heat the entire house. That's because gas fireplaces are a better source of direct heat, making them more efficient for warming small spaces. Central heating, while more efficient for whole-home warmth, uses more energy overall. Strategically using a gas fireplace, therefore, can help lower heating bills.
You don’t need electricity for a wood-burning stove unless it has a blower fan. Some wood-burning stoves include blower fans to help with heat distribution, but blower fans have a motor and use electricity to power the fan. You can still operate a wood stove without using the blower fan, so it’s a good source of heat if you have a power outage or are looking to lower your electric bill during winter.
If you would rather use vinegar to clean the stone fireplace instead of dish soap, this mixture should work fine. Vinegar is slightly acidic, however, so it may etch some kinds of stone without quite a bit of diluting. For a stone fireplace, dilute it to about one cup of vinegar for every gallon of hot water. It’s a smart idea to test the diluted mixture in an inconspicuous area of the fireplace and watch for etching. You can use vinegar to clean quite a few different items around your home, and it’s especially good at removing stains.
Knowing who to hire to install your fireplace is important when it comes to having a safe place to burn a fire in your home. The best person to contact for installing fireplaces is a mason or general contractor who has a National Fireplace Institute (NFI) specialist certification. If you’re installing wood paneling, then it’s a good idea to also find a pro who is Wood Energy Technology Transfer (WETT)-certified.
Both of these certifications show that your pro is well-equipped to install fireplaces and inspect your home for the utmost safety.
You shouldn’t remove a fireplace yourself. Before beginning this job, you’d need to know whether or not you have a load-bearing fireplace. To do that, you’d need help from a structural engineer. Plus, fireplace removals require permits and often involve working with gas lines or electricity, which can be dangerous. For all of these reasons, it’s best to hire a pro for this project.
