This was our family's holiday celebration- held early in December to accomodate everyones' schedules. The restaurant is in an old "victorian style" home with original rooms and woodwork. It has dimmable lighting. The rooms were very nicely decorated for the holidays and there was holiday music playing at just the right sound level. We had a semi-private room. It was not like being in a restaurant. It was very much like being in our own home with a hired staff to prepare and serve the meal. The owner, Mark, was very gracious, pleasant, polite and professional. He was ready for us when we arrived and was attentive to our needs throughout the meal. We came with gifts to exchange and a "family history ice-breaker game". We were given a second table to hold the gifts and of course, because of all of this, we were there a long time. Some of the family lives in Rockford, but others came from out of town just for the meal/gathering. We made the most of their hospitality and they did not disappoint us. We enjoyed a very relaxed meal with lots of good conversation and time to catch up with the 3 generations of us. They also have a separate, small (maybe 6 stools?) bar area where guests could go to stretch their legs or to have a quiet conversation away from the table. It seemed to be fairly well stocked from what I saw. The only thing missing was coffee. If this is a must for you, I would call ahead to see if arrangements could be made for that. We all had a great time. We really appreciate Mark and staff for making our family holiday gathering a special event that will be remembered for years to come. And, there is talk among family members that maybe we should do this again next year!"},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/il/rockford/lucerne%27s-fondue-and-spirits-reviews-6411991.htm"},"position":3},{"@type":"ListItem","item":{"@type":"LocalBusiness","name":"Ted's Painting","address":{"@type":"PostalAddress","addressRegion":"WI","addressCountry":"US"},"review":{"@type":"Review","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"SCARLET C."},"reviewBody":"Room was left clean after the job was \"done\" and wall sanding dust was minimized as much as possible. Wall coverage was good. Some paint on woodwork. We provided the paint, but the painter approved the amount and made a slight misjudgement. This became an issue, because the hardware store where we bought the paint had made a slight color error in mixing and a subsequent quart was not a satisfactory match. End result of the overall project: texture and trim work were not satisfactory. Painter's time line and ours didn't work out to address the texture and trim problems before we were expecting company. We ended up repainting the room ourselves. We asked painter for a portion of the project cost in refund. A refund was refused on the basis that we hadn't asked painter prior to fixing the problem ourselves if that would be okay and if a refund would be possible. This seemed a little petty to us, as we had only asked him to refund what he thought would be fair for our trouble and because he didn't have to come back and fix the problems himself (which would have amounted to him repainting our whole room without charging for all the extra time --- seemed like a better deal for him). Finally, communication seemed to be problem between us and this painter --- both direct face-to-face communication and e-mail/phone messaging."},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/wi/madison/ted%27s-painting-reviews-251758.htm"},"position":4}]}

"We had our roof and siding done after a hail storm in 2022. After a few months we decided to have our roof inspected and there were a few problems brought to our attention. Holes that were caulked over and shingles that were lifting. Our siding also was falling off in places and warping. We submitted a claim, got a phone call that someone would reach out. A few weeks went by and nothing. We reached out to our contractor and he came out and looked at the issues and said it would all get taken care of in March. March has came and went, I contacted the contractor at the beginning of April and he claimed everything was ordered and should be in later that week. Here we are May 11th and we haven't heard a thing. Communication has been lacking and the quality of install was poor."

Woodworking questions, answered by experts
Hickory, red oak, white oak, and Brazilian walnut are among the most durable wood flooring options. Teakwood is extremely durable and known as one of the hardest woods. It holds up against weather and sunlight, but it’s costly and can be difficult to source. Keep durability in mind when installing floors for high-traffic areas in your home.
Regular sealing, repainting, and checking for wood rot or pest infestations help maintain longevity.
There are both temporary and permanent ways to enclose a carport. If you’re looking to enclose your carport for the winter, a canvas enclosure could do the trick. It won’t be as protective as a permanent structure, but it can offer some protection from elements like snow, rain, and wind. For a permanent enclosure, you can add extra walls, add a new vertical roof, or a lean-to addition on one side of the structure.
Wooden carports offer aesthetic appeal, durability, and customization options compared to metal alternatives.
Hiring a woodworker can be expensive, depending on the job, but it’s very often well worth the investment. Woodworkers are able to provide custom pieces of furniture and handmade construction to present a finished product that is exactly to your specifications. If you have a specific vision for a one-of-a-kind piece of furniture or home feature, the cost of hiring a professional woodworker is worthwhile. Plus, you’ll often get a higher quality product than what you could buy in stores for a fraction of the price.
