"Lynn Lapping, one of the sales representatives, came to my house, measured the windows and the next day sent me a quote for blinds (Hunter Douglas Applause Line). During that first visit, she was friendly and provided answers to all of my questions. Two weeks later, I contacted her to come by and measure three kitchen windows, as I am planning to put roman shades in them. Lynn came by, but she seemed off, she was rushed, impatient and a bit rude. I had recently received a quote for drapes from another company and I asked her if she thought the prices were reasonable for the type of drapes. She was annoyed and told me that I should had ask her to measure those windows during her first visit to get a quote for drapes. However, at that time, I had no plans to put drapes there so I could not have planned for it. I ignored her demeanor and attitude, we all have bad days, and so I assumed she was simply having a bad day. I wanted to place a deposit for the blinds on the spot but she locked herself out of their system and she could not process my payment. She told me that someone would call me to get my credit card information, but no one ever did. I called her the next day to ask for the final quote and make sure everything was ready to go, she told me she would get the quote to me later that evening or the next day. She never did. I called the following day and left a voice mail for Lynn. The office manager e-mailed me to let me know that Lynn would be out of the office due to a family emergency and that she would contact me the following week to place the order. I e-mailed her back and ask her if someone else could help me with the order as I did not want to delay the process an additional week (lead time is three to four weeks). She told me that John the company owner would contact me to process the order. All of these e-mails were exchanged on a Wednesday. The weekend came and the owner never e-mailed or called me. On Monday I e-mailed the office manager to ask if someone would be calling me to process the order. I also ask her to let me know if they could not process my order so that I could find another provider. I received the following e-mail: "We apologize for the delay. Due to the scheduling conflicts with our designers, we will not be able to assist you with your order. We apologize for any inconvenience this has caused." While I understand that family emergencies do happen, it does not make sense for a business to stop because one of their employees is unavailable. I am happy that my order did not get process through this company; I can get Hunter Douglas blinds for the same price with other providers. What would have happened if I had trouble either with the delivery, installation or quality of the blinds and Lynn was not available to handle those situations? Again, business continuity is a must for a company to be successful, business can not stop for one employee.
"Within days of purchasing the deal, I received the instructions and paper to draw my table templates. The table has 2 drop leaves plus 2 additional leaves that can be inserted in the table. The templates were pretty easy to draw. The finished pads were delivered in a very short time. They fit the table and each of the 4 leaves perfectly and magnetically lock together to keep them aligned when on the table. A year and a half later, I still love these pads."
"Sta-Built was the only company of the four contacted that followed through with a bid. They have great references. Ryan helped with the design. We did not think to include lighting and it was an excellent suggestion and decision. Hector and his crew showed up as scheduled and finished the job in two days. Hector assisted in making the right paver and color choices. We couldn't be happier with the end result. We will definitely hire again!"
"From the Scheduler, Angie, to the electrician that came out, Sergey, it was a totally great experience. We got an appointment in a reasonable time and Sergey was actually early getting here. He was pleasant, professional and extremely knowledgeable. He explained what he was doing and why, but always asked for consent to do anything extra and always explained the billing. No surprises!We had a new light fixture and two new light switches installed. (Some very important and helpful information about how the light switches needed to be compatible with the type of light bulbs you use… who knew! Well, probably everyone but me…). He even did a safety check of our circuit box. All in all, I would highly recommend Mr. Electric for your electrical needs!"
Table lamps, floor lamps, chandeliers, desk lamps, and antique or decorative light fixtures that hold sentimental or aesthetic value are commonly repaired.
It’s not illegal to fly an American flag at night without a light shining on it, but the U.S. Flag Code notes that it’s respectful to provide illumination. Installing a flagpole light is also common practice and will add more to your home’s curb appeal at night. Choosing a solar-powered or battery-powered light for your flag is an affordable way to provide illumination.
The majority of potential burglars are amateurs looking to make a quick buck after breaking and entering. By installing motion-sensor lights, alarm systems, and security cameras, throughout the home, there’s a good chance you will deter crime on your property.
Local building codes typically require conduit around exterior wiring. Conduit protects the wire from moisture, extreme temperatures, sun exposure, and harsh weather conditions to prolong its lifespan. When a wire is worn out, it can be dangerous as the risk of electric shock or fire increases.
Before investing in motion sensor lights, there are a couple of disadvantages worth noting. For starters, they’re not as reliable as other forms of lighting. Motion sensor lights can be accidentally triggered by pets or wind, which can become a nuisance after a while. The opposite situation can occur, too, where they don’t turn on when you need them to.
