"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!!!"
"I had excellent experience with Muhammad Talha of QuickFix Pros. He replaced the decking on my existing deck with new premium pressure-treated wood, and I am extremely pleased with the finished result. From the beginning, Muhammad was patient with all of my questions and took the time to explain the materials and installation process. He provided a detailed written scope of work, used 20-foot boards cut to fit so the deck could be installed with continuous boards and no seams, used CAMO hidden fasteners, applied protective joist tape, and addressed damaged wood he found once the old decking was removed. What impressed me especially was his attention to detail and his willingness to work with what I wanted rather than trying to talk me into something different. He and his crew were professional, careful, and left the area clean when the work was completed. The new deck looks beautiful, and the workmanship so far has exceeded my expectations."
"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!"
"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."
"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."
"Solomon assembled a a shed we purchased from Costco. His team did excellent work with excellent follow-up. I will hire them again for future projects if they are available."
Fire Pit Installation questions, answered by experts
Yes, fire extinguishers eventually expire. However, the good news is that a properly stored fire extinguisher can last a decade or longer. They don’t have an expiration date on the canister, but you can check the manufacturing date on the “UL” nameplate near the classification information. Maintenance will also give your fire extinguisher longevity. Check the gauge at the top of the extinguisher every month. You'll want to make sure the gauge needle is in the green section, and if a hose or nozzle has been used or damaged, you need to replace it.
Although no heating appliance can be entirely risk-free, a fireplace insert is considered a safer alternative to a traditional open fireplace, thanks to their enclosed design. With a sealed combustion chamber, a fireplace insert effectively reduces the risk of sparks and embers escaping into the room, minimizing the chance of an accidental fire.
Additionally, an insert comes equipped with various safety features, such as tempered glass doors that create a barrier between the flames and the surrounding space. This enhances both safety and energy efficiency by preventing heat loss. As an added bonus, many inserts are designed to meet strict safety standards that ensure proper ventilation and combustion.
No, a chirping smoke alarm is usually a sign of an issue with the power supply of the unit. This is easily solved by replacing the battery to stop the smoke alarm from beeping. If the chirp continues, review the owner’s manual to determine the cause. These chirps are short and not as loud as the beeping of the alarm itself. If you can’t tell the difference, it’s best to treat it like an activated alarm until you find the cause.
Depending on who’s doing the estimating, about 22,000 to 25,000 chimney fires happen each year in the United States. Given the fact that millions of Americans have fireplaces (and chimneys), that means chimney fires aren’t exactly common—but they’re not rare, either. Since they’re so dangerous, it’s important to take precautions to prevent them.
Smoke detectors come in two different options: hardwired or battery-operated. While hardwired units are attached directly to the home’s electrical system, a battery-operated smoke detector only needs a simple battery for operation and can be placed virtually anywhere in your home. Some homeowners may mistakenly think their battery-operated units are hardwired in because all their units are interconnected, but many battery-operated units can operate within a smoke alarm network in your home.
