"Great. We have been using Chris for quite a while. For our outdoor lightning needs and also internet wiring. Would definitely recommend his company. They have been great to work with."
"Terrible (but good!). The terrible part was making multiple phone calls over a two month period but never getting a call back to get an estimate and scheduling an appointment. Finally, called and got the owner, David. He was very negative and admitted that to me when he called back to apologize. Of course there not everything has a 100% guarantee in life, but all I want was a similar antenna installed like the first one 10 years ago pointing in the same directions to cover sets in my kitchen/DR. The original one has worked well (95% of the time) picking up not only line-of-site PBS stations in Washington (Weta and WHUT), but also the outstanding MPT channels from Annapolis. The "Good" outcome was that I tried an extra indoor antenna that I had in storage and hung up on a pendant lamp hanging 10-12 feet' in my kitchen, and then pointing it in the same direction as the one on the chimney using a compass on a CP app and fine tuning with MPT. The Annapolis station comes in clearly, plus dozens of the usual broadcast channels. Problem solved in less than 2 hrs with a little ingenuity and using my outdoor extension ladder indoors, some white cable, white duct tape and white cable hangers. It is sad the the nation's capital does not have any competition in this business."
"Made a good suggestion re the bathroom fixture to not screw the bulbs in too tightly. This seems to have solved the problem. As for the other 2 items, provider made a couple of suggestions as to how I could fix them myself. That's not what I was looking for. I contacted the provider to fix them. I'm not sure if this was a communication problem. I was hoping to get these issues resolved, not have a consultation on what I could do to remedy the situation myself. "
"Mega Remodel company did an amazing job with our kitchen remodel! Our designer was Ibrahim , made some great improvements with the layout of the kitchen. ibrahim really listened to what we wanted and came up with a beautiful kitchen we love! Edwin was our project manager and did a wonderful job organizing the project. He managed every detail and made sure everything stayed on schedule. Overall, we are extremely happy with our new kitchen and would definitely recommend Mega Kitchen and Bath for anyone considering remodeling their home."
"George and his crew did a great job upgrading my basement bath with a new sliding glass tub door and tub/shower fixtures. They also did electrical work in my kitchen, adding a new outlet. They were on time, hard-working, honest, polite, and did exactly what I needed. I feel they went above and beyond & will definitely call them again for future work!"
"Excellent workmanship, professionally done!!! They installed a knee wall and screened in our back porch. It looks like it came with the house!!! The attention to detail and craftsmanship were outstanding. Likewise, the finished room they completed looks like it came with the house. The crews were punctual, kept their work areas clean and were a pleasure to work with. Raul is outstanding. Really enjoyed the experience with them. Would definitely recommended and hire again!"
"The work was done quickly and professionally. They remodeled two bathrooms in approximately two weeks. We couldn't be happier about the finished product or the value we received for our money."
"It went well, mostly. The contractor made suggestions based on unforeseen issues, and it came together. My only complaint is with the location of the fixtures. In one bathroom I replaced one large single fixture with two fixtures and asked for them to be centered over the sinks. Rather than centering each fixture over each sink, he centered them within the span of the sinks. Yikes! I chalked it up to my instructions not being explicit enough. "
Chandelier Installation questions, answered by experts
The cost of a chandelier often ranges from $100 to $4,500. Your total cost will be determined by the design of the chandelier and the materials used. The more intricate the design, the more you’ll end up paying.
In place of track lighting, you can consider recessed lighting for a sleek, unobtrusive look or pendant lights to add a decorative touch. Chandeliers can create a focal point, while wall sconces offer ambient or task lighting without taking up ceiling space. Each alternative offers unique advantages, catering to different styles and functional needs.
It’s possible to remove a new construction recessed light without getting into your attic, though it’s a bigger job. You’ll need to identify the joist locations using a stud finder, then cut a square hole in the drywall of your ceiling to remove the fasteners holding the fixture. After removing the light, you’ll have to patch and paint the ceiling again.
When it comes to installing recessed lights in your kitchen, place them over areas where you perform specific tasks. This includes over the countertops, sink, and dishwasher to provide illumination when you’re working in these areas. Make sure to space them 12 inches apart from each other and up to 18 inches away from the cabinets.
The distance from the dining table to the bottom of the chandelier's droptop is essential when hanging your light fixture. For example, the fixture should hang 30 to 36 inches above the table for an 8-foot ceiling. If your ceiling is higher than the standard eight feet, add three inches of chandelier height for every foot of ceiling height.
