Of the companies that submitted proposals, the Davis salesman was the most thorough, completing a heat loss analysis for the house before sizing the system, something which none of the other companies did. I appreciated his attention to detail. While the Davis price was not the lowest, we were able to negotiate a little based on some competitive bids, and they also offered a good financing deal through Lennox. The furnace and heat pump demo and installation was completed in a day, save the installation of the gas line since there was a delay while Roanoke Gas ran a line from the street to a new meter on the house. Davis came back once Roanoke Gas completed the installation of the line to make the final connections. We had a couple minor hiccups with the city inspection. Davis had to come back to replace the circuit breaker (previously a 30A) with a 25A to match the rating of the heat pump, and I had to caulk around the vent pipes on the brick exterior of the house for the inspectors since they had not been sealed. We had two issues with the system after it was installed and running. There was a leak at a glue joint in the condensation drain line, and the system was cycling too often. The Davis tech was able to adjust the cycles of the system so it would not run as often, but it took several additional trips back to get the condensation drain line fixed because a part had to be ordered from Lennox. Overall, the new system is much quieter and keeps the house more comfortable than the old one, and I was pleased with Davis' responsiveness to making sure the system was operating correctly. They were always prompt in returning calls and answering questions when problems arose. Despite having several minor issues, I would recommend them to others.

When my family moved here one year ago, I was referred to Justin Kibler at Dynamic Automotive. Since then, he has 1) inspected the vehicle per state requirements; 2) by request, inspected my brakes and postponed service for three months; 3) three months later, provided full brake service for $102, far less than I expected; and 4) diagnosed battery drain problem, found used electronics control panel, worked around shipment delays and my schedule, and installed the panel for far less money than I expected (I think in part b/c either he was disappointed with the shipment delays, or he was able to negotiate a lower price on the part b/c of the shipment delays). Thus, a year of consideration and Justin has won my business. He and his partner, Mike, are two young mechanics trying to grow their business. They rent space in a Liberty gas station that's small, cluttered and dirty, which is partially how they keep their prices down (i.e., low overhead). But professionalism is not what's most important to me, rather integrity, quality and value are. They're also punctual when they say the car will be ready. BTW, the Holiday Inn Express lobby next door provides a wonderful waiting area with wi-fi; ask for Mr. Chico, the manager, for permission, and tell him how much you appreciate the hospitality.

I called Window world based on their $189 window advertisements. A sales rep came to the house. He measured the windows and we talked. He told me that since I have a brick house, there was an extra $75 per window charge for \"bucking\" to case the new windows. It eventually went up to $100 per window. I didn't understand why the new window wouldn't fit where the old one was but I am not a professional and took his word for it. He worked me up an estimate for 7 windows and a picture window. In the estimate were charges for hurricane rating, half screens, double locks and foam insulation on jambs. There was also a $75 trip set up and disposal fee. He told me repeatedly that the windows would easily be installed in a day. He also told me many times that if a window is mismeasured and they have to reorder, the window is free. I could sense the sales rep was uncomfortable about something and now believe he wasn't happy with what he was required to do to sell windows. I wasn't happy with the amount over the $189 per window they advertise but I gave them man a check for half and told him to order the windows. Six weeks passed and I got a call setting a date to install. The installer arrived. Yes a single installer. I suddenly doubted the one day guarantee. The installer was a super good guy, he was an independent contractor working for Window World. The installer did a great job and worked hard but it still took two full days and I missed another day of work for it. The installer charged me an additional $200 because he said two of my window frames needed additional work at the bottom. I'm not sure if I should have been charged for this or not but I didn't have much choice with my windows torn out at the time. When all was said and done the cost per window was $354.25 and there was no additional framing done as the sales rep stated was needed. He installed the windows and exterior trim which was included in the base price of the window. There was an issue with my front window. It was ordered to the right dimension but the width and height were mixed up so that the drain holes on the window were on the side not the bottom. He told me he could caulk the holes shut or have Window world order me a new window. He said he didn't think it would hurt a thing the way it was but it was up to me. I didn't like the situation but I also didn't like the thought of having plastic covering a big hole in my house for another 6 weeks into September. I told him to leave it and I would talk to the company. I recieved a questionnaire days later and I filled it out voicing my problems. I got a call from a supervisor a short while later and he did not care about my isses, just the misordered window. He told me he could order me another window but of course not for free as the sales rep had stated so many times. This outfit is no different than a Macco paint job. After it's all said and done they charge you the same money a top contractor would charge for premium windows but all you get is a run around and a cheap window. I admit I should have been smarter and kicked them to the curb but do yourself a favor and pass them by. There are great independant contractors out there who will install you a window for $189.

FAQs for french drain service projects in Fairfield, VA
Landscapers typically charge $25 to $50 per person per hour, which equals around $50 to $100 per hour for a two-person crew. These rates can vary depending on your location, the size of staff needed for the job, and overall job type. For example, a larger crew will be needed for structural additions and hardscaping versus planting flowers.
When it comes to landscapers, licensing laws vary. Landscaping architects are required to be licensed in all 50 states, whereas traditional landscaping contractors are not typically required to hold a certification. You’ll likely be working with a landscaping contractor for most residential projects. If you are redesigning your whole yard or adding in hardscape features, you will work with a landscaping architect at some point during the project. Be sure to check our state licensing tool to review the local landscaper guidelines.
As you browse our pro listings, take note of the “Angi Approved” badge. Angi Approved businesses meet our standards for certification which include:
The owner, principal, or relevant manager passed a criminal background check
Required to have applicable state and local licenses
Maintain an average star rating of 3.0 or better on our network, if they have at least one review
Paying to advertise their services
Meeting any other eligibility criteria required by Angi
Keep in mind licensing is different from certifications. A license is a legal requirement to operate a business, while certifications are voluntary.
The cost to install a drain pipe is $600 on average, but the total can range between $150 and $2,000. Some cost factors that influence your project price include the type of drain, the area’s accessibility, the proximity of existing drain lines, and whether you’re installing a new drain or replacing an old one. Replacing the p-trap or s-trap under a single fixture will usually cost around $150, while replacing a main drain pipe can cost well over $2,000.
Yes, most states require plumbers to be licensed, and for good reason. Hiring an unlicensed plumber could lead to poor quality work, costly future expenses, and potential code violations.

We highly recommend leaving the work of replacing drain pipes to a professional plumber. Drain pipes are a key part of your plumbing system, and making mistakes during the installation or even using the wrong size pipes for your specific fixture can lead to an elevated risk of leaks and clogs. Additionally, drain pipes prevent harmful sewer gas from entering your home, so hiring a professional plumber is essential to keeping the risk of leaks and clogs low and avoid reducing your indoor air quality.
