Removed a window Air Conditioner that was installed with no intention of being removed!  All went well, except they did not put down any protective covering on the rug in the area.  About 2 pints of old dirty water spilled out onto the rug, but they worked diligently to clean it up.  If you didn't know it had happened you would not notice it on the rug.

He tightened up some outdoor flood lights that had become loose. He checked the other set, just to make sure.  Also, he repaired a downspout that had detached.  A very clever repair that has worked perfectly since he did it.

Overall the work was completed satisfactorily.

"I called Richard at Twisted Metal around 11:30 to see if he would come look at the gate. He said he could come at 1:30 that same day, so I was thrilled. Not only did he look at it, but he also repaired the hinges during the same visit. This is a gate we have loved for years and now we will have it to enjoy for years to come, thanks to Richard. It is a challenge today to find someone who is willing to take on a small job, especially in such a timely manner. I would highly recommend his services with any iron works project."

"I started the remodel myself and made a mess of a few things but Cougar Development Corp was able to repair my mistakes and give us a finished product that we can be happy to have our guests use. The vanity and shelving look amazing and the trim work done throughout is fantastic. At the end of the project I even requested caulking throughout to prepare for the paint due to my lack of equipment and they did it quickly and perfectly.

"I'm in the process of having some long overdue renovations done to my home which called for more than services by a handyman. QAD arrived on time and gave me fair prices compared to other general contractors. Work done was impressive and clean with a keen attention to detail. Overall, I'm very happy with the results. I still have a couple of projects that need to be done and I will definitely will be calling them back!

"It went exactly as planned. We had our downstairs painted, walls & all doors & trim work. They came as scheduled & began working preparing the walls by filling all holes. The transformation was almost immediate! The cut in is very neat & clean. No tape needed. I appreciate the good quality of their work! Planning to use DMC for the 2nd floor remodel very soon! Thank you DMC!"

"It went great, and I agreed to call the company back when I can afford to have some more work done by them. I had an Angie's List deal of $99 for 2 hours of service. I did not check on their regular price. They do all kinds of remodeling, windows, etc., -- everything but electrical and plumbing -- besides their new handyman services."

Driveway Gates questions, answered by experts

Your wooden gate post hole should be a third to a half of the height of the post. Also, note that the diameter of the post hole should be three times the diameter of the post. You should set the post in concrete to ensure a long-lasting and durable post that will withstand the test of time.

It does matter which way a hinge is installed because it’s possible to install a hinge backward. The hinge pin should face the direction in which the door will swing, making the pin visible. Exterior doors that swing outward need a security hinge with an Allen set screw in the center to prevent someone from removing the hinge from the outside and accessing the home or business.

In most cases, you will need a permit to install a new driveway or property gate. An exception might be if you are simply replacing an existing gate. Before issuing a permit, your local municipality may require a site plan or survey to verify property lines and prevent encroachment on a neighbor's property. Permits for a gate typically cost under $100. Be aware that corner properties may have additional restrictions on gate height or style. It's wise to confirm permit requirements with your local building department or your gate installation company, which can usually handle the entire permitting process for you.

Hiring a reliable gate company starts by finding an installer with at least five years of experience in your area. This method will ensure they understand local laws and regulations and are familiar with the permitting process. You can also ask the following questions to ensure a smooth installation:

  • Have you worked with my gate material in the past?

  • Do you have customer references I can call?

  • Are you fully insured?

  • Will you pull the necessary permits for the installation?

  • Do you provide any kind of warranty for the gate’s functionality?

Instead of a security door, you might opt for a heavy-duty screen door made from durable mesh, which allows better sunlight and airflow. Additionally, you could enhance security by installing strong locks on your existing door. A double-cylinder deadbolt provides robust security; however, be aware that some local laws prohibit them due to safety concerns during emergencies.
