"This company is fantastic! 1. Out of the 5 companies I was considering for insulation replacement (yes 5), their quote was the only one that was itemized and understandable. You knew each task you were paying for as well as what the workers were promising to deliver, which is extremely important when dealing with contractors. I found this out having met with 20+ over the last month. 2. They had the most reasonable price, and Rory in particular worked to volunteer his expertise on what our situation needed/did not need with an honesty that is hard to come by because it did not come off as self-serving or trying to take advantage of our lack of expertise. 3. They were reliable, on time, and very communicative every step of the way. They touched base frequently about our complicated situation, they were available for price discussions, and they were direct in communicating arrival and finishing times. I was extremely impressed. 4. The individuals at this company went above and beyond the call of duty. Rory was a pleasure to deal with; he reminds me of the neighbor you want to have because he has great advice, good contacts if you need work outside his company, and reasonable suggestions for what you can do to fix things, and to boot he was extremely available. He even answered our many calls with random questions off-work hours AND he volunteered to come out himself again outside of work hours just to help figure out the steps to fixing our problem. Debbie was affable and an organized presence on the phone. The other staff we worked with- Santiago, Rafael, Luis, and Felix- were all extremely courteous and hardworking during the projects. 5. They worked to coordinate with other contractors without me having to micromanage anyone. I had a roofing company, arborist/tree service, and vent cleaners on site. They were able to navigate their own working space and work in tandem on the roof with the roofers to replace the insulation on the cathedral portion of the house when the underdeck was ripped off, as well as add baffles appropriately. 6. They brainstormed to fix problems we were having at extremely reasonable prices. Example: The attic portion of my home was missing half the ceiling (had to be removed because of extensive mold damage) and they helped me place drywall so we could replace the insulation on the timeline we initially agreed to. It saved my husband and me a lot of money and heartache. What more could you want from a company? The biggest impression I walked away with is that this company actually cares about your situation. My husband and I were purchasing a new home in need of a lot of repairs. We have a toddler and I am third-trimester pregnant. With the move, the unpleasant relationship we had with the previous owners of our home, the strain on our finances, and the overwhelming stress of finding new problems everywhere we looked, I can only say I am extremely grateful we went with Madrona Home Services. Thank you!"

"DO NOT USE: We were quoted $6K for a shower kit install. Upon completion of the work, it was immediately apparent that the installation was defective and did not meet acceptable industry standards. Specifically: No water membrane was installed behind the shower kit, rendering the installation non-compliant with waterproofing best practices. No caulking was applied to seal seams, leaving the installation vulnerable to water intrusion and damage. The walls and surrounding trim were not plumb, which made it impossible to install a functioning shower door. A McLendon's supervisor subsequently inspected the installation onsite and acknowledged the poor workmanship. We were informed that the matter would be addressed, but despite multiple follow-up phone calls, we received no further communication or resolution from McLendon's. Nevertheless, the remaining balance of $3,100 was charged to our account without our authorization or consent and without any resolution."

Tekline is a family run full service roofing company with a commitment to delivering excellent products and exceptional services to our customers at a competetive price. Tekline has over 30 years of roofing expertise you can count on.

Tekline stands behind every project with pride and integrity. We treat our staff, customers, and suppliers with mutual respect and sensitivity recognizing the importance of safety. Our goal is to build lasting relationships, striving for complete customer satisfaction of all projects we undertake.

"I don't usually write reviews, but definitely want to write one for Tekline Roofing. My brother in law recommended Tekline and we are very pleased we had their group do the work. Their customer service was excellent and they responded very quickly with questions. Norm was great at explaining the roofing process, how to get prepared, etc. The cost was very reasonable for the work that was done. Our home is old and has a somewhat complex roof and they definitely didn't cut any corners. We felt confident the work was being done well. The work took longer than expected, partly because they discovered there wasn't plywood on parts of our roof, something they couldn't determine until the old shingles were removed. Tha was excellent and came by our home a few days before the work started to discuss how they would protect our garden-landscaping. They daily placed tarps and plywood to protect damaging things outside and they cleaned up every day after 11-12 hours of hard work. Misael oversaw the daily work and took photos and the team shared updates and photos on a regular basis. At the end of the project, my garden looks great! The roof was just completed this week and they will be back to replace one of the skylights in our attic that was on backorder."

Stop Bugging Me Pest Control is a locally owned and operated service company located in Seattle WA. We offer guaranteed pest control solutions for residential and commercial customers in the greater Puget Sound. At Stop Bugging Me we take an integrated management approach to pest control pulling from years of training and expertise to address your specific issues. Our staff will take your call and work with you to first identify the problem. We will then ask specific questions about your situation and give you a quote based on the information you provide and the square footage of your home. When the technician arrives, he will discuss strategies and follow our exclusive programs to eliminate the problem and leave you with useful recommendations for future control.

"The MOST UNPROFESSIONAL SERVICE CALL, EVER! A twenty-something, long dark-haired guy showed up (no name, as he wouldn’t give it to me). He came in, asked me where the ant problem was. I showed him the trail, collection and path. I told him that I was recovering from pneumonia and didn’t have much voice left, so to “bear with me.” He walked away and told me that he disagrees with me. I questioned, “what do you mean? Why would you be contrary, while I’m telling you our issue-the townhouse neighbor and us, have been passing the ants, back and forth, for 7 years. He told me I was wrong, and they all just hatched. I responded that we had treated our home for ants FOUR times, in the last 6 months. When showing him the area where we saw an ant hill, he was belligerent and condescending, asking me, “is it an ant hill or just a few ants?” I told him I was from the country and knew what an ant hill and ants looked like. This is where it went terribly disrespectful, condescending and offensive. He asked me, “so what kind of ants are these?” I responded, “beg your pardon? They are obviously sugar ants. Why am I being asked that?” He then smirked and said, “how do you know they are sugar ants? How can you tell?” I told him that I didn’t appreciate being called a liar, with regard to our issue and tested, as to my knowledge of ants. He responded, “well, you’re the expert!” I could not believe what I was hearing! Who was this person, to come into my home and disrespect me, in such a manner? I wonder if his behavior would have been the same, if it were my husband, he was dealing with. Every time I attempted to speak and explain our insect issue, he would interrupt me, with a rude and contrary statement. He pulled out our kitchen counter items, spotting a busy ant area. He began to spritz the area. I explained that the connected unit would get ants in their kitchen and within hours, I had them in my kitchen and back and forth we went. He dismissively questioned my honesty in stating that he questioned that happening. Again, I was so offended, I wanted to cry. On top of being sick, I had this guy insulting me, in my home! I told him there were also ants in the living and offered to show him where they were, he said, “nope, don’t need to see it.” What? I said to him, I’m not sure what’s going on here, but I don’t appreciate your continued insulting and interruption, when I am sick and trying to get this problem rectified. He, again, insulted me in saying, “well, I know I was out here a few times, and you wouldn’t let us in your place.” I responded, “I have never met you, nor have I ever requested pest services and denied entry. You are literally making that up and you know it.” He smirked and said argumentatively, “well, I’m sure it was you.” I told him, “I don’t appreciate you making up stories, in order to somehow justify that this ant problem has not been rectified. It’s completely inappropriate and unprofessional.” He again smirked. At this point, I told him, “Please just get this handled. I’m very sick and need to lie down.” The most shocking and unprofessional behavior yet? Here it comes…he picked up his bag, walked to the front door and said, “I’m leaving. Your grouchy and rude and let me know when you’re in a better mood and I may come back. Good God, I felt like I was in the twilight zone. I said to him, “this is ridiculous. You don’t get to tear my kitchen apart and then leave, without doing the job? No one is giving you a hard time. What is the matter with you?” He walked out the door. I asked after him, “can you at least leave the ant traps?” He did not even both to turn around and said, “Nope! I didn’t even bring em’.” Wow! He sat out in his truck, for 25 minutes, before pulling off. I am contacting the BBB, the complex management, where we live, and the company owner. The behavior of this pest control representative, made this 59 year old, sick woman, feel disrespected, insulted, discriminated against and verbally abused. This type of behavior, especially inside someone’s home, where you are a guest, cannot happen. I’m not generally intimidated, but felt very unsafe, with this pest guy. It is now the middle of the night, and, with pneumonia, I had to clean up the ants and disinfect the area, that he left unattended, and still have ants, all over my kitchen. Absolutely unprofessional and unacceptable. I am sure your company does not advocate for this type of black mark on your reputation and look forward to hearing from you regarding this unprofessional experience."

Insulation questions, answered by experts

Three signs that you need crawl space insulation are drafts, high energy bills, and mold. Drafts can start in crawl spaces and cause hot or cold air to spread to the rest of your home through holes in the floors and walls. And even if your entire home is well-insulated, you can still feel an unchecked draft from your crawl space and in your utility bill. Uninsulated crawl spaces can let in air and moisture, and because they’re built directly on the ground and difficult to dry out, they are hotspots for mold and mildew.

Blown-in insulation works, but only for unfinished attics. Also, it isn’t the longest-lasting nor the most effective option. For better options, look into spray foam insulation or natural fiber batts. They typically have a longer lifespan, better heat resistance, and stronger sound-proof abilities. Spray foam insulation costs about $1.25 to $1.50 per square foot, but can go up to more than $4 per square foot. Fiber batt pricing varies depending on the material.

You’ve likely heard the saying “heat rises”—well, it’s true! This is why it is critical to properly insulate your attic and protect yourself from chilly winter nights. During summer, your attic insulation will also protect against excessive heat gain radiating through the ceiling into the rest of your home below.

Asbestos has many beneficial properties, including fire resistance, strength, and chemical resistance. It is also an excellent insulator, which is why it was used in pipe insulation and other building materials for decades. For all its benefits, asbestos is dangerous for human health, which is why it was eventually banned from use in certain products.

The life span of fiberglass insulation can be as long as 80 to 100 years, but because of changing building codes, it’s best to get your insulation checked every 10 to 15 years. Signs of degrading fiberglass insulation include bits of batts on the floor or batts detached from frames. Having optimal, healthy insulation in your home will improve its energy efficiency, lowering your monthly bills.
