Back in mid-April we submitted a request on Interior Guards website for an estimate and never heard anything. Then we left a message in mid-May. We finally received a call and scheduled an in-home estimate. It took a few weeks to get a response and we schedule the estimate for Monday, Memorial Day holiday. Yes, we know it was a holiday, but they offered to come out on Monday between 10 and 10:30am, but no one showed up. Not even a courtesy/reminder call the day before or that morning. At 11am we left a message asking someone to call us back, no response to date. We had errands to run and there were no missed calls or messages when we got home. The estimate was supposed to take up to 30 minutes and film samples were going to be provided. A full day has since gone by and no response. We have since then researched other window film/tint companies and will start looking elsewhere. We gave an OVERALL rating of a "D" vs. an "F" because we did eventually get a call vs. none at all.

He was able to advise me on all the related issues such as window replacement and deck restoration. Although his bid was not the lowest, I chose to work with him because I trusted him and his company is the #1 Rated James Hardie Siding and Trim contractor in the area. Check out their website, colonialremodeling. The job went without a hitch. At every step of the way, Michael supervised and communicated well with his workers and with me. The workers are so proficient at what they do that the old siding and damaged insulation came down and new went up in less than a week, just before the hurricane that hit Washington this fall. I really appreciated their thoroughness in cleaning up the site and protecting my property. The next steps were carpentry repairs to a sluggish sliding door, fixed by an ingenious carpenter. Then painting of siding and deck. The painter bought small amounts of paint in order to make sure that I was happy with the color choices before proceeding. Once again, every effort was made to do a quality job and to do what I had asked them to do. Many neighbors have complimented me on the job Colonial Remodeling did. My sunroom went from a weathered, cracked cedar exterior to a beautiful, clean exterior painted to blend perfectly with its surroundings. If you are fussy about quality and if you like jobs to go according to plan, Colonial Remodeling is worth every penny.

I grumbled but he had installed a new water heater and I was very happy with the work, timing and price. The shutoffs were inoperative and when he tried to use them, they leaked badly. If he hadn't insisted, this broken faucet would have been a disaster because all plumbers were prioritizing hurricane damage - houses with feet of water in the basement, sewer systems overflowing into houses versus every thing else. The only disconcerting thing is that you usually get an answering machine when you call the main number. But they check frequently and prioritize based on the problem and call and/or email back. I have used him several times. He shows up and does the work when he says he will and cleans up well afterward. His prices are reasonable.

Experience repairing all major brands of blinds and window treatments. This includes out of warranty products such as Hunter Douglas, etc. Consider repairing that broken blind, shade, or shutter, before replacing a whole room full, just to make them match. Repair is a fraction of the cost. 30 years of experience in the window treatment industry.
"Anthony is awesome! He performed the repairs in my home… easily and quickly! His fee was very reasonable (and a HUGE relief!). I will call him EVERY time I need blind repair or even have a question. I trust him to be fair and honest.
[The company that installed my window treatments and promised a LIFETIME WARRANTY on any needed repairs went out of business during the pandemic and I’ve been searching periodically for someone to perform simple repairs (cord replacement) on my blinds for years. I’d search for a while, get frustrated and then give up. Everyone either said they don’t repair products that they didn’t install themselves and I have to buy all new treatments in order to be covered under a warranty again (No way! I already been burned by that promise once…) or they insisted on removing my window treatments, taking at least a month to make the repairs and charging me almost as much as the cost of new treatments for the hassle and inconvenience.)"

Hurricane Film questions, answered by experts
You’ll be in the best position to negotiate a hail damage claim if you thoroughly document the damage the hail caused to your property, file a claim immediately, and seek legal advice. It’s a good idea to keep images of your non-damaged property; that way, you have something to compare the damage to. As with many things, talking with a legal representative is the best way to make sure your interests are protected.
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.
Solar panels that haven’t been properly inspected and maintained pose several risks to homeowners. Firstly, a dirty, obstructed, or malfunctioning solar panel won’t be able to generate as much power, which could lead to power shortages and wasted money. But more importantly, neglected solar panel arrays can become dangerous if left for too long. Corroded wires and exposed circuitry are fire hazards, so it’s strongly recommended to keep up with regular maintenance to protect your home.
Yes, many providers offer 24/7 emergency repair services to prevent inventory loss.
Your insurance premium may increase if you file a roof claim or any other type of claim. Changes to your premium will depend on your insurance company, the size of the claim, and the number of claims you’ve made. Insurers may also increase rates at renewal based on factors outside of your control, such as changing weather patterns.
