"They installed an interior door in our finished basement. They started on time. They finished on time and the door looks like it was always there. They cleaned up nicely after their work was done. We could not be happier with the quality of their work!"
"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."
"Bobby has done a number of projects over the years, including installing new faucets and recessed lighting, replacing a new backsplash (tile), light fixtures (indoor and out), painting, replacing door knobs, and the like. He even installed our tetherball for the kids. He is always friendly and responsive. He is our go-to handyman for almost everything!"
"Beyond my expectations! The old door was condensing inside and out, we knew there would be extensive damage to the wood framing and floor area beneath. It was worse than I expected. Mike installed the new door, created a way for our pet door to fit while still being able to LOCK the slider! Over three days - the tear out, purchasing of many materials, repairing the frame, installing the new door, repainting/restoring the interior and exterior to BETTER than they previously appeared, and rigging that new and improved pet door - he worked diligently. I have never had a workman that was so neat! Cleaning up debris, bagging trash, maintaining the work area organized and safe. I have already recommended him to friends, and they have all said how great he was! I have many other projects planned, and will not hesitate to call Home Remedies again."
"September 2019, my water heater broke and TC HVAC Services replaced it with a new water heater. And they also fixed my AC and fridge. Recently, in October 2019, TC HVAC Services installed a new humidifier in my home. Mr. Thea Chea, the specialist was professional, honest, and he answered all of my questions. The repairs and installation were completed in a timely manner. And costs were reasonable and fair. I would definitely use TC HVAC Services again and I have recommended TC HVAC Services to my family and friends. Thank you, Mr. Chea and TC HVAC Services LLC."
"He was able to understand the design with no formal plans and only charged us $500 to build and hang the fixture. It looks AMAzing! Jose has also done a lot of work in our home to include a complete basement remodel, floor removal in two large rooms, rewired all of our plugs and fixtures, complete entry way renovation, ceramic/slate tile in 3 rooms, painted rooms, master bathroom renovation to include a complete gut of our old bathroom and installation of all replacements, and master bedroom renovation. He charged a fair price, met his commitments for timelines/completion, and his team left our home clean every day. We are currently having plans drawn for our backyard landscaping and plan to use DC Handyman for the build and landscaping projects as well. We highly recommend services with Jose in his team. "
Preventing rats and mice from getting into the attic can be challenging, but it’s not impossible. Here are a few steps you can take to keep them looking elsewhere for a new place to call home:
Block or cover any potential access holes
Keep piles or stacks of firewood or other materials away from the house
Seal food and garbage in containers to prevent rodents from chewing through or getting in
Roof rats can carry a variety of pathogens and parasites, including salmonellosis (food contamination), leptospirosis, trichinosis, rat-bite fever, murine typhus, plague, and toxoplasmosis. Diseases can be spread via urine, droppings, or saliva. To prevent transmission, it’s essential to promptly address a roof rat infestation and avoid direct contact with the animals where possible.
Through monitoring, preventative treatments, and advising on moisture control.
Signs include discolored wood, crumbling surfaces, and visible pests. Address these issues promptly to prevent further damage.
Yes, bears can smell through walls if they are close enough. Estimates vary, but experts say bears can smell up to a maximum distance between one and 20 miles. Food inside a house does not attract bears to the degree that food left outside does, though.
