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.

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!

FAQs for boiler repair projects in Spencer, WI
The average cost to install a new water heater is around $1,300, but you can expect to pay between $875 and $1,750, depending on the kind of water heater, the size of the unit, and the professional chosen to complete the work. Tankless water heaters can push your price higher, as installation is more complicated, with prices as high as $3,500. The location and accessibility of your water heater will play a role in the project cost, as those sitting in tight spaces like a crawl space will drive up your labor costs.

It is very difficult and dangerous to install your own water heater, so we strongly recommend against tackling this as a DIY project. Not only will you need to wire your water heater, but you’ll also need to connect plumbing to the intake and outlet. Sweating copper pipes and connecting wiring properly are skills most DIYers don’t have, and even if you do feel confident you can do it, working with water and electricity always leaves the potential for electrocution. Hiring a local water heater installer is well worth the investment.
The average cost to hire a plumber is around $100 an hour but can vary between $45 and $200 an hour depending on the plumber’s experience and the repair that you need. It’s also important to note that these prices can go up on holidays, and emergency plumber rates average $150 per hour, in addition to a flat-rate trip fee of $100 to $350.
