Regarding the casement sash, as it turns out, it had been redesigned by the Mfg and the first Hometown install team indicated it would need to either go back or require a custom retrofit. The casement windows are approx 18 yrs old. About a week later I received a call from Hometown that the window would only need a new type of weather strip and that would solve the issue with the design change. I had asked the first team to make sure I could get the sash ahead of time before the install, in order for me to prime and paint the interior portion. Unfortunately, that communication didn't take place and I never was able to pre-finish the sash. As it urns out when the weather stripping finally did arrive for the sash, a different team came out, to install the 2 windows without scaffolding and I raised a concern when I asked this. However, the 2nd team said it wasn't necessary and was able to easily fit the bay window glass in place and indicated the initial team should have done earlier when the bay window was available and I was waiting for the new weather stripping. All in all the work done was good and the 2 windows are now in place. I'm waiting for the first very cold day to confirm the casement is sealing properly. I'm sure if I do have an issue, HomeTown will help find a solution. I think this was just a case of miscommunication by the initial team of installers and their office "},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/wi/beaver-dam/hometown-glass-and-improvements%2C-inc-reviews-7985922.htm"},"position":5},{"@type":"ListItem","item":{"@type":"LocalBusiness","name":"Artisan Construction","address":{"@type":"PostalAddress","addressRegion":"WI","addressCountry":"US"},"review":{"@type":"Review","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Jean W."},"reviewBody":"Talked to Neil on the phone the night before, he said he was looking forward to doing the work...very good sign I had a winner! Neil got there about 5 minutes before he was supposed to be there. He asked me what I wanted to do first, which was the gutters. He got right to work, cleaning and then putting on the gutter caps. He mitered the corners of the gutter caps also, making it a very neat appearance! I was concerned about the downspouts being clear and he made sure downspouts worked. I gave him a list for the rest of the things and right down the line he did them: re-attached mailbox to pole, installed bird feeder pole, hung 2 pictures, replaced furnace filter, replaced water filter in basement, replaced broken toilet seat, fixed pull out drawer in kitchen, took out middle console on front seat of car & replaced with another console. I gingerly asked him if he would/could do them, but he did not refuse anything I asked him to fix, knew how!! Neil was amazing! There wasn't anything he could not do that I asked, he was very courteous, listened to what I needed. I gave him the things to replace, but had supplies I didn't have (i.e. wall anchors, etc). He also was very reasonable, I was happy, and he was worth every penny!! I even gave him an electric scooter that needed a tune up to take home and look at, he will look at it and give me an estimate on repairs.

He said that I seem to think I know it all alreay and obviously dont want his opinion and threatened to leave. At the start of his evaluation he said that the repairs needed were not all that extensive then after talking with a contractor in the basement privately he changed his approach and added a lot more repairs to his report. He then went behind my back and disclosed information to the seller that was supposed to be between him and I since I hired and paid him. He also convinced the seller that he is the only non-biased person in the area capable of performing a drain tile test which is untrue. I found 3 other Home inspection outfits who are not associated with contractors that were qualified and capable to perform the test for half the cost he wanted to charge me. I now walked away from the home my family and I have been looking two years to find and fell in love with. It was a huge mistake hiring Chuck Weber. He is not an engineer as I was lead to believe nor has he ever worked on a basement foundation in his carreer as far as I know. His whole business is presenting plans that he found on the Wisconsin Assocation of Foundation Repair Proffessionals website which anyone can look up and print out themselves for free!

"American Home Shield (AHS) warranty is replacing my broken microwave with a new one. I received the new microwave on 11/11/2020 and notified AHS it was in my possession.

FAQs for kenmore vacuum repair projects in Alma Center, WI
Common repairs for central vacuum cleaners include motor repair, electrical repair, and blocked filters. Central vacuum motor issues typically come with a burning smell and loss of suction. With these issues, you might need simple lubrication to keep it running smoothly, or for more extreme problems, you could need a motor replacement.
Electrical problems or losing suction strength, might be reasons to swap out electrical components for new ones. However, a local central vacuum repair professional can tell you the best plan of action for your system.
The average cost for central vacuum cleaner repair is $310, though prices can range from $120 to $500. Your total cost will depend on the type of repair needed and the type of central vacuum you own.
A minor motor repair, like lubrication, only costs around $50. However, if you need to replace your motor, you’ll be looking at a much higher price tag with a total of $100 to $500. Other fixes, like electrical work, are charged by the hour, which ranges from $15 to $55per hour.
The answer to repairing vs. replacing appliances depends on the type of appliance, the severity of the issue or damage, and the quality of it. If you’ve purchased a top-of-the-line small appliance, it’s almost always more cost-effective to repair it than to replace it. You should also consider the cost to repair it, though. If the repair cost is more than half the cost of a new version, lean toward purchasing a new one. Your small appliance technician could also help you decide by determining the expected remaining lifespan after the repair.
Small appliance repair costs average around $50to $400, with costs ranging significantly based on the type of appliance, the extent of the damage, the issue, the appliance brand, and the availability of replacement parts. Generally speaking, you’ll pay less for repairs on very small appliances, like blenders and toasters, than you will for microwave repairs. We recommend consulting a small appliance repair technician for a quote before starting the project.
Small appliances typically include microwaves, toasters, toaster ovens, food processors, blenders, mixers, slow cookers, air fryers, coffee makers, rice cookers, and any other appliance that can sit on your countertop. Major appliances include refrigerators, dishwashers, ovens, cooktops, washers, and dryers. Some people may include HVAC equipment like condensers and air handlers in this category, too. Small appliances are more of a specialty, so there’s a good chance a typical appliance repair company won’t be able to service and repair small appliances.
