"Hired All-In-One to put on a roof a roof on the back side of my hour in October, 2015. The roof had been replaced in 2010, but it has started leaking on the back side of the house. The company who had put the roof on in 2010, had went out of business. The work done by All-In-One in October, 2015 was great. Problem solved. The project manager was fantastic and very responsive. Fast forward to March 2022 and a little background on my house. I have a log cabin. It is all wood, including the roof and support beam that runs the whole crest of the roof can be seen from the inside of the house. It has cathedral ceilings and does not have an attic. The first part of March, a leak started over my stairs leading up to the second level of the house. I set a date for the AIO project manager to come out and take a look at the problem. The date came and went with the manager apologizing for not being available. Set a second date. The next date the manager showed up and looked at the problem. I asked if the previous project manager still worked for the company. I was told no. An inspection continued and the new project manager told me this company had worked on log cabins in the past without any trouble. The estimate was provided and I agreed to the work to be done, but wanted a list of materials. I was told I would be given it when the crew arrived to begin work. A couple days before the work was to begin, a delivery of the materials came. It included a ridge vent. This type of hour CANNOT have a ridge vent because cutting into the peak of the roof would be cutting into the support beam. I called to protest the vent being installed. Also, it seemed to me like an awful lot of shingles and nails for this project. The work began with another layer of particle board to provide additional protection on the roof and no vent. The roof was installed. I anticipated no problems and was told everything looked great. I had to have 2 hip replacements this year, so climbing on top of the house at that time was almost impossible and I had to take their word for the great work. To make a long story short, the work was terrible. There was never a problem with leaking around my chimney and sky lights, but after this roof was installed, I had rivers of water in an ALL WOOD HOUSE. Water and wood do not go together. I called MANY times about the leaking problems and was told the problem had to be with the chimney. A friend of mine who is 88 years old and had put on roofs for many years came over to evaluate the problem. He crawled on top of my very steep roof and saw the problem immediately. He said when the new particle board was put on, it made little room for flashing. So, AIO tried to use aluminum in hopes of diverting any water without putting the flashing flush against the cement of the chimney. They put the aluminum one the decorative stone. Also, we wrapped the chimney with a tarp to PROVE water was not coming in through the chimney. After MANY calls and LOTS of caulk, it still leaked. I knew it would never be fixed by this company, so this year I found a company that had 40 years of experience and came out to evaluated the problem and told me the same thing my friend told me. They should have cut some of the decorative stone to get a flush bond to the cement. I have had multiple hard rains after the fix and not ONE leak. I had a five year warranty with this company, which if you read the fine print of the contract, means nothing. Also, the extra material for this job, including the ridge vent, were loaded up and taken away. I have to wonder if the vent and extra material were taken to another job and the residents were charged. I WILL NEVER HIRE THIS COMPANY AGAIN."

"Ron Mitchell and team did such a great job on our landscape in March 2019 that we asked them back to do additional projects! Not only that but they are keeping a close eye on our hard fescue planted in 2019 to ensure it is everything we all hoped for! Honestly could not ask for a better family and team of workers!"

Snow Removal questions, answered by experts

While most people associate defrosting icy roads with salt, you can also use sugar for a similar result. Sugar lowers the freezing point of water, melting ice in a pinch.

However, sugar doesn’t melt ice as well as salt because it doesn’t separate the water molecules as efficiently. So, if you need to quickly melt a stubborn patch of ice on your driveway or walkway, it’s best to use salt over sugar for faster results.

If you’re struggling to find anything else suitable in your cupboards, a vinegar and water ice melt makes for a passable quick fix. Just don’t expect it to clear your concrete the way commercial products or rock salt will. Mix equal parts vinegar and warm water and squeegee away the watery slush to prevent more slippery surfaces from forming.

Most roofs can take quite a bit of weight from snow, but their ability to handle heavy snow is not unlimited. Most roofs can handle about 20 pounds per cubic foot of fresh snow. Ice, ice dams, and other factors can contribute to dangerous roof weight. Newer roofs, sloped roofs, and those that have more support can hold more snow than older roofs, flat roofs, and roofs with widely spaced beams. To figure out how much snow your roof can hold, you will need to contact a professional roofing contractor to calculate the maximum snow load for your specific roof.

The fastest way to remove snow is by using a high-powered snow blower to clear your driveway in a few minutes, depending on its size and length. Other snow removal methods that get fast results are a wheelbarrow plow and a snow thrower. If you need immediate help with removing snow, consider hiring a snow removal service to take care of it for you.

Yes, but it works best with lightweight snowblowers, the single-stage models or electric versions. Also, you need to have a rubberized intake edge on the ground and preferably rubberized auger paddles, not a metal version. Otherwise you may chip or damage the surface as you work. When it doubt, let the snow lie.

You can also use a snow blower on leveled gravel, but only if you carefully adjust the intake height so it doesn’t kick up the gravel and turn it into flying missiles.
