"They were going to install a ceiling fan I had purchased, but when he came out, he said it would be an additional $250 to install the electrical box. We had already discussed the fact that it didn't have a box prior. so there was just bad communication."
"Removed shutters in prep for new window installation: ***** Smoothed over plastered wall and painted ***** Double bifold closet door reparation * Kitchen drawer repair ***** Bathroom sink caulking ***** Bathtub recaulking first time * / repair ****** (yes 6 out of 5 stars)"
"Who writes reviews before the work is done? I do, because of REO ServicePro owner Gary Golman's responsiveness. I needed all the smoke detectors in my home replaced because they were 15-years old and I just learned they should have been replaced after 10 years. I already bought replacements and just needed them installed because once I got into the job, no amount of YouTube tutorials could help me through. I called Gary, but when I sounded confused discussing the job with him, he offered to stop by to check out the task. Turns out I purchased the wrong detectors. I was still clueless, so Gary offered to go to Home Depot with me (this was at the end of the day mind you) to help me get the right ones. Gary will come by tomorrow afternoon to replace all the units. I'm confident the job will be done right - which wouldn't have happened if I had continued on the path to do them myself. It'll be one less household task to worry about. After tomorrow I'll be able to sleep through the night without my smoke detectors chirping for me to change them out. Thanks Angie's List for recommending REO-ServicePro. "
"Joe was great. He installed an electronic door lock and He realigned a side entry door. He changed a light switch in the kitchen and installed a lighting fixture. Heâ s also a cool guy to chat with. Will definitely hire him again."
"The response time was excellent. Daniel did our estimate and was prompt and efficient. The first crew that was to come out at 2PM was 1 hour late and I called and he told me he was still painting somewhere. He came at 4:30 and took a look at the cabinets to be installed and said it was too much work and would cost more than the estimate and he didn't have the time that day. We called the office and talked with Daniel who was very apologetic and a new crew came out the following morning and installed the replacement cabinets. This required putting the cabinets together also. They did an excellent job. They were courteous, professional and responsive to our concerns and had the job done in about 3 hours (there were 4 cabinets).They cleaned everything up including the mirrors on the cabinets and hauled all the trash away including the old cabinets. Were it not for our experience with the first crew I would give them 5 stars."
"They installed a new patio door handle for me - it wasn’t easy since I didn’t buy the right direction handle haha but they made some adjustments. Fair pricing, flexible scheduling. Would hire again!"
"We were delighted with the outcome of the installation of a new surround on our fireplace. This was a re-do of an initial installation by another contractor that did not work out too well! I was nervous about getting this done right and Kevin put me at ease immediately. He was precise, highly skilled, and very aware that we were not happy with the first installation. It turned out beautifully."
"The installation was seamless. Mark was prompt in responding, on time, and installed the microwave quickly and cleanly. It was problem-free. I plan to hire him again."
"Solomon assembled a a shed we purchased from Costco. His team did excellent work with excellent follow-up. I will hire them again for future projects if they are available."
"Cristian was excellent! He arrived even a bit early and masterfully tackled the assembly and installation of my daughter’s new complicated wooden outdoor playset. He was polite and very professional. We plan on hiring him again for more projects!"
Fire Pit Installation questions, answered by experts
Bioethanol fireplaces are safe when users follow the instructions and maintain the fireplace. Ethanol is flammable, however, and should be kept away from flammable surfaces, children, and pets.
Costs depend on system type, building size, labor, and regulatory compliance requirements.
Yes, fire extinguishers eventually expire. However, the good news is that a properly stored fire extinguisher can last a decade or longer. They don’t have an expiration date on the canister, but you can check the manufacturing date on the “UL” nameplate near the classification information. Maintenance will also give your fire extinguisher longevity. Check the gauge at the top of the extinguisher every month. You'll want to make sure the gauge needle is in the green section, and if a hose or nozzle has been used or damaged, you need to replace it.
If a storm or other natural disaster occurs in your area, you may not have immediate access to help. According to the U.S. Federal Emergency Management Agency, keep a disaster preparedness kit in your home with enough essentials to sustain your family for at least 72 hours. Put this in an easily accessible location to have it handy in case anything unthinkable happens.
Start by checking the top or side edge of the door. Look for a certification label or metal tag stamped with details like the fire rating and information on the manufacturer. Even if it’s painted over, the tag should still be visible. Next, look along the edges for slim intumescent strips. They’re designed to swell up and seal gaps when exposed to heat. Finally, check if the door closes itself. Most fire doors have a self-closing mechanism, like an overhead closer or spring hinges. If none of these are obvious, contact a fire safety professional to help verify your door.
