"Who writes reviews before the work is done? I do, because of REO ServicePro owner Gary Golman's responsiveness. I needed all the smoke detectors in my home replaced because they were 15-years old and I just learned they should have been replaced after 10 years. I already bought replacements and just needed them installed because once I got into the job, no amount of YouTube tutorials could help me through. I called Gary, but when I sounded confused discussing the job with him, he offered to stop by to check out the task. Turns out I purchased the wrong detectors. I was still clueless, so Gary offered to go to Home Depot with me (this was at the end of the day mind you) to help me get the right ones. Gary will come by tomorrow afternoon to replace all the units. I'm confident the job will be done right - which wouldn't have happened if I had continued on the path to do them myself. It'll be one less household task to worry about. After tomorrow I'll be able to sleep through the night without my smoke detectors chirping for me to change them out. Thanks Angie's List for recommending REO-ServicePro. "
"The response time was excellent. Daniel did our estimate and was prompt and efficient. The first crew that was to come out at 2PM was 1 hour late and I called and he told me he was still painting somewhere. He came at 4:30 and took a look at the cabinets to be installed and said it was too much work and would cost more than the estimate and he didn't have the time that day. We called the office and talked with Daniel who was very apologetic and a new crew came out the following morning and installed the replacement cabinets. This required putting the cabinets together also. They did an excellent job. They were courteous, professional and responsive to our concerns and had the job done in about 3 hours (there were 4 cabinets).They cleaned everything up including the mirrors on the cabinets and hauled all the trash away including the old cabinets. Were it not for our experience with the first crew I would give them 5 stars."
"We were delighted with the outcome of the installation of a new surround on our fireplace. This was a re-do of an initial installation by another contractor that did not work out too well! I was nervous about getting this done right and Kevin put me at ease immediately. He was precise, highly skilled, and very aware that we were not happy with the first installation. It turned out beautifully."
"Mr. Green and his team did an excellent job with a total remodeling of our bathroom, he had some wonderful ideas about installing recessed lighting and niches in the new shower, we couldn't be happier. He finished on time and within the quoted price. Great job!!!"
"Hired them to repair our vinyl fence, install a security lock and reinforce an outdoor gate. They arrived on time and were courteous, attentive to our needs and reasonably priced."
"Beautiful! Mike has redone my bathrooms, kitchen, painted nearly every room in my house, painted my siding and doors, installed new shutters, laid carpet, installed hardwood doors, power washed the house, worked on my roof, changed toilets...you name it, he’s done it! Mike does great work!"
"The installation was seamless. Mark was prompt in responding, on time, and installed the microwave quickly and cleanly. It was problem-free. I plan to hire him again."
"I couldn’t be happier with their work! I had a great experience with this home installation company from start to finish. The quality of their work was excellent, the team was professional and knowledgeable, and the customer service was outstanding. They took the time to answer my questions and made sure everything was done right. On top of that, their pricing was very fair and transparent. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable and high quality home installation services."
"Cristian was excellent! He arrived even a bit early and masterfully tackled the assembly and installation of my daughter’s new complicated wooden outdoor playset. He was polite and very professional. We plan on hiring him again for more projects!"
Fire Pit Installation questions, answered by experts
Testing a fire extinguisher by discharging even a small amount will void the warranty on the product. Pushing down the pressure pin on top and waiting to see if it pops up is the best way to ensure it’s still pressurized. If you’re concerned about your extinguisher, hire an expert for a professional inspection.
You should only use water to put out a fire in your fireplace in an emergency situation. Even then, it is better to use a fire extinguisher to put out a fire quickly. Make sure every room in your house that has a fireplace also has a fire extinguisher—and that everyone in your household knows how to use one.
Poorly designed and incorrectly installed outlets can create an electrical fire hazard, as do some phone chargers and adapters that plug into these outlets. However, most outlets are perfectly safe as long as they remain in working condition. Keep an eye on what you are plugging into the outlet and stay alert for signs of outlet malfunction, like sparks, burning smell, or frequent circuit tripping.
As with any smoking appliance, a smoking oven is a concerning fire risk. It also negatively impacts your indoor air quality, which can put vulnerable people at risk of breathing problems. A dirty oven can catch fire if you don’t stay on top of regular maintenance, so remember to check your oven for signs that it’s time for a cleaning and remove buildup every three months to stay on the safe side.
Yes, it is generally safe to have a fire pit on a deck, but you must adhere to building codes and take several safety precautions. For both built-in and freestanding models, you must use a heat-resistant barrier, such as a fire pit pad or heat shield, between the pit and the deck. Additionally, consider the weight of the fire pit and ensure your deck can structurally support it, reinforcing it if necessary. The fire pit must also be positioned a safe distance from your house, particularly from materials like vinyl siding, to prevent heat damage.
