Well, as fantastic as a large stressful multi-month home renovation project could be. :) Andrew was incredible with his communication through the majority of the project, frequently texting, emailing, and calling to let us know the status of various parts of the project. He was responsive and thoughtful, and always took any concerns or questions I had seriously, even when I was freaking out about nothing. :) He did work with multiple subs for various parts of the project, but for the most part, they were just as professional, thorough, and respectful as if it had been Andrew's own crew. Scheduling was challenging, because of all the moving parts, but he managed it with finesse and professionalism, always ensuring that people were here when they said they would be here, and that various parts of the project were completed in a timely manner. Just by way of some detail: the entire North side of our building had to be rebuilt after discovering unsound block footers and walls after some demolition. This was rebuilt with precision and quality that we did NOT anticipate - it is like a bunker now! The trusses on the center aisle of the building were entirely replaced with new engineered trusses, and didn't even add that much cost to the project. The entire roof was replaced and standing seam metal roofing was installed. Everything but the center aisle of what was once a stable had to get new poured concrete floors. Two of the rooms were built out with insulation and drywall, and those rooms got a two-zone split heat pump system to maintain temperatures during winter and summer months. (It is super comfortable in there even with our sub-20 degree nights now). The whole building got all new doors and windows, including a custom-built barn door complete with flashing and locks to keep it secure. The whole building had to be re-wired, and was done neatly and thoroughly. (This part of the job was far more expensive than we initially anticipated, mostly because we did not get an updated bid for that part of the project, so if your job is large, make sure ALL aspects are bid in detail before work begins!) Included in this work was the installation of a sub-panel and meter that would support a new solar array (installed by another company: Solar Connexion in Blacksburg, VA, which I highly recommend); several new 220/240 outlets; a dozen or more regular GFI/non-GFI outlets; five ceiling fans; garage door openers; new lighting throughout; and fairly complex motion and daylight sensors hooked up to exterior lighting. In addition to the work on the building, I recruited Andrew to assist me with the installation of a new 2500 gallon concrete water collection and treatment cistern to serve the adjacent vegetable garden. He helped set the huge tank in the ground, paint the inside of it with waterproof membrane, plumb the entire system, and install a fairly complex water treatment series (made by Rainwater Management Systems in Virginia) in ground and inside a shed. Andrew did an amazing job on this, considering I sprung it on him at the last minute (kind of) and considering he had not done one with this kind of potable water setup previously. For reference, the tank was acquired from Hanover Precast in Virginia, and I consulted with a company in Ohio (Jonathan Meier of Rain Brothers LLC in Ohio - http://www.rainbrothers.com/) to ensure the inlets and outlets were done properly by Hanover. Andrew could have done a better job coordinating and communicating with these other companies, but considering he had no prior relationship with these companies, he remained flexible and reached out to them when he was asked to do so. My advice is if you're considering working with companies external to Greensward, speak with Andrew about it well in advance and ask that he form a relationship with the company before work begins. Overall, I think that the work done by Greensward was MUCH better than we could have anticipated, going above and beyond what was expected of them during this project, to ensure it came out the best that it possibly could have come out. We are SO happy to have a garage and workshop again (man cave from heaven-!), and would definitely recommend AND work with Andrew and the Greensward crew again. Great job Greensward!!! Thank you!!!

Many of these items were long outstanding, some were the result of poor workmanship by another electrical contractor years ago. After researching electricians on Angie's List, we called Autumn Electric and spoke with Darryl. He was very clear in outlining their fee schedule and set up an appointment for their technician, Chris, to give on-site estimate and start work. Chris arrived early and worked steadily for hours. Our outside pole light had not worked for years. A lighting contractor had suggested some years earlier that an electrical connection to the house was broken and a new line would have to be dug and laid. Chris identified that the problem was a malfunctioning light sensor on the pole which he replaced. He also replaced the light and the two coach lights by the door (provided by us). Track lighting installed years earlier by a chain electrical contractor had never performed properly. After it was turned on, after 15 or 30 seconds, the lighting went out. A handyman earlier in the year thought it might be a transformer. Chris identified that it was a load issue and if we took off one light, everything performed as we wished. We had purchased the outside security light years ago. Chris installed it with a motion sensor and an inside toggle switch. Chris was able to suggest a replacement for an incredibly noisy bathroom fan and where to purchase it. He installed it after purchase and peace has come to our house. Chris was very conscious about cleaning up debris. He worked for hours to ensure the job was finished to our satisfaction. Some reviewers felt Autumn was expensive.

"Unprofessional visit. Showed up unannounced and we only knew they were there because one person stood 10 feet from our porch staring at us in through our living room window. My wife spent 10 minutes talking to them, they stated they had no business cards, they only had an appointment card but didn't present it. Honestly when you show up at someone's house you need some sort of identifier if your walking door to door in casual clothes. After the uncomfortable dead stare through the windows my wife and i have decided to post a No Solicitors sign. They didn't take no for an answer at first, pushing with more questions to circumvent the no she gave, as well as interrupted our dinner, as they showed up right at 6pm."

FAQs for security door installation projects in Boston, VA
The average cost of a home security system is about $700, ranging from $280 to $1,150. Costs to consider include equipment, surveillance fees, and other additional features. Cost factors that determine your system’s price include the type of security system, materials, labor, activation fees, monthly fees, and permits.
Additional features and upgrades may include:
Video surveillance monitoring: $40–$65 per month
Smart home locks: $150
Smart home lighting: $15–$90
Smart smoke, fire, and carbon monoxide alarms: $35–$100
Smart thermostat: $130–$500
Door installation usually takes three and four hours, including removing the old door and frame, fitting the new door and frame in place, shimming it to make sure it’s perfectly level, and making adjustments to the hinges and locking mechanisms to ensure proper functionality. A door-hanging professional can replace an interior door in between one and two hours. Door installation will take significantly longer if your installer needs to create a wall opening, and it can take less time if the existing door frame remains.
The average cost to install a door is around $1,100, but you could pay anywhere from $150 for a hollow-core interior door installation up to $2,000 or a high-end exterior door installation. There are a few cost factors to consider to get an accurate price, including whether your wall opening exists, the type of door, the quality and security of the door, whether you need to replace the frame, and the door size. You can expect to pay $150 to $700 for a standard 36-by-80-inch door and between $400 and $1,600 for an80-by-48-inch door.
Yes, a home security system can be worth it for your peace of mind alone, but it can also save you up to 20% on your home insurance. The insurance savings will help defray the initial setup costs and subscription costs over time. Locations with higher crime rates also make home security systems a valuable investment, but it ultimately depends on your personal preferences and asset values.
It’s possible to install a door yourself if the wall opening already exists, but the work is rather complicated, and a professional installation is usually well worth the investment. For your door to work and close properly, you’ll need to shim and level the door frame in your wall perfectly, which can be difficult. Additionally, we recommend you always hire a professional door installer to place an exterior door, as mistakes during the installation process can lead to poor security for your home.
