Estimates Question: I'd like to see if I could get some quotes on some repairs which are a bit outside my capabilities. * Rotting tread board on first step up from landing to our front deck * Rotting newel, near that rotting tread board. Picture of the problem is here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/berniec/4957908666/ Additionally, we have a carport which has a cinderblock foundation placed on a cracked concrete slab. After parking cars under the carport for a while, the lower section of the slab began to shift, and now the carport is settling. I'm wondering if there is some way to properly shore that up (we're not parking cars underneath the carport anymore). I can be reached either via email, or via phone at 206-412-7620. Expert Response: Hi Bernie! We’re excited to help you with your project. We’ve provided detailed information below, but first we want to tell you how you might be able to save money on this and future repairs. You see, we are world-class repair experts AND we also specialize in helping individuals lower the cost of home ownership through our Safe & Smart Home Preservation Program. Each year home owners unknowingly put their families at risk and spend thousands of unnecessary dollars on costly repairs that all could have been avoided. Our Safe & Smart Home Preservation Program features multiple levels of protection and savings along with a maintenance program this is specialized for your geographic region and specific home. In some cases, we’ll even have time left over to take care of some extra items. Your Project Includes: - Repair stair tread rott - Look at parking area broken concrete I would budget $160 <---> $182 for labor for your stair tread repair project. While we are there, we can look at the carport issue and see what needs to happen there. From your description, fixing it correctly will be major as in tear it down and start over or over-pour the concrete pad with new concrete and build or pour new concrete walls. It is settling because of improper compacting of the ground or a proper footing. Again, sort of a big deal to fix. There may be a way we can secure it to prevent it from falling over for a number of years however. If you would like me to schedule it for you, then I can take care of that or you can use the link provide below. We want you to be completely comfortable with all aspects of your home repair.

The interior seal is broken and there is rotting damage. Expert Response: Mr. Canwell, We can help determine the window manufacture for sure. To save time in the field and just overall repair time, can you take a photo or two of the window and email it to me? We can use that to do some research and determine who the manufacture is and what the closest type of replacement would be. Thanks, RQ Hi RQ - I have a couple of additional questions - we don't currently have a replacement window, because we are not sure who manufactured the one that is in place. There are several other windows of the same type in the house, and we would like the replacement to match if possible. I haven't been able to find any identifying marks on the windows to suggest who it was manufactured by (possibly Lindal or Marvin, but i'm speculating). Is this something that the GC will be able to figure out, and is figuring this out going to add considerably to the estimate? Hello Mr. Canwell ! We’re excited to help you with your project.

Owners have leftover 4x4 foot remnant available for the repair. Expert Response: Hi Misti! We’re excited to help you with your project. We’ve provided detailed information below, but first we want to tell you how you might be able to save money on this and future repairs. You see, we are world-class repair experts AND we also specialize in helping individuals lower the cost of home ownership through our Safe & Smart Home Preservation Program. Each year home owners unknowingly put their families at risk and spend thousands of unnecessary dollars on costly repairs that all could have been avoided. Our Safe & Smart Home Preservation Program features multiple levels of protection and savings along with a maintenance program this is specialized for your geographic region and specific home. In some cases, we’ll even have time left over to take care of some extra items. Your Project Includes: - Repair small spot in vinyl flooring This is a tough one because these floors really can't normally be repaired. In other words, that isn't the way you want to go about it. Some of them only have significant glue on the edges and they are stretched in place when the glue drys. If there are squares in it then that is a different story, we could simply replace one of the squares. So, bottom line is that we can cut and install a patch as you suggest but that isn't the right way of making this repair. If you would like us to do that on a temporary basis then we can likely do that for your $100 budget. We don't generally like making unstandard repairs like this as they could reflect badly on our business but as long as you recognize that we are simply trying to win you over as a customer then we can do this for you.

We can mount the tv bracket to the steel studs with special fasteners without the plywood although it would be most stable with a piece of plywood. The plasma tv's tend to weigh a bit more than the lcd's but if it is new, it should not be anything more than 40-50 pounds. A good quality mount bracket will usually be designed to hold several times that amount by mounting directly to the studs. There are several different sort of fasteners that we can use where a portion of the fastener sits inside the wall to hold it securely. Here is a link to a sample of one that I particularly like: http://www.us.hilti.com/holus/page/module/product/prca_rangedetail.jsf?lang=en&nodeId=-77338 I would budget about $200 to mount and install the tv.

We’re excited to help you with your project. We’ve provided detailed information below, but first we want to tell you how you might be able to save money on this and future repairs. You see, we are world-class repair experts AND we also specialize in helping individuals lower the cost of home ownership through our Safe & Smart Home Preservation Program. Each year home owners unknowingly put their families at risk and spend thousands of unnecessary dollars on costly repairs that all could have been avoided. Our Safe & Smart Home Preservation Program features multiple levels of protection and savings along with a maintenance program this is specialized for your geographic region and specific home. In some cases, we’ll even have time left over to take care of some extra items. I am breaking these into some groups. Outdoor: I would begin with a full day of time for this. I doubt that we can complete the entire list in one day but we can get a lot of it done and get a great idea for how long it will take and what other materials that we will need for this. I would budget $632 - $686. Landscaping: This category is so broad that I am hesitant to provide an estimate without more detail. For example how many rocks need to be replaced with smooth. I am assuming this is a pathway or driveway and you have broken gravel but would rather have smooth stones. How many yards of dirt (topsoil I assume) need to be added to the garden. Is the garden accessible with a truck or will we need to haul in a wheel barrel? How drastic is the leveling of the yard and how much flagstone needs to be removed, etc. Wish I would have known about this last week, I was looking for some flagstone for a small project. Anyway, the landscape scope would be good to cover with photos and I am happy to look at those to help make sense of what is needed to get you close to a budget for this work. I can tell you from experience that landscaping work can be much more than we think it should be. It just takes a lot of time and often heavy equipment to help move the project along. Indoors: I am fairly confident that most of the indoor items can be completed in one day with maybe a bit more time but probably not much. The only exception would be the drywall under the stairs. That will take a couple of trips with materials, drying time, etc. Do you have extra paint that matches the interior on hand that you would like us to use? I would budget $632 - $758 for this and an additional $241 - $413 for the drywall work. Bathrooms: Most showers don't need a full regrout but this can be done. We can usually acid etch the grout and then regrout and seal over the existing grout. I will assume that etching and regrouting is what you want unless you say otherwise. For each regular size shower I would budget $212 - $324. To seal around the toilets, I would recommend pulling them out and replacing the existing wax ring seal, cleaning up the area, check for water damage and re-install the toilet. This can be done quickly and we always want to make sure that when we caulk around the toilets to give them a nice clean installation that we do not caulk around the backside of the toilet as this will prevent us from knowing when the wax ring fails in the future. I would budget $56 - $72 per toilet for this maintenance. This would include tighting the toilet bowl as well. The countertop can be secured quickly (most likely) so we can do that when we install the new faucets. I can't say how much it would take to fix the sticking windows but I would guess about $42 each to adjust and/or repair. Misc patches in drywall where there is an actually hole the size of your hand or larger should normally be budgeted at about $98 each to fully repair. Bath fixtures should be budgeted at about $42 each to replace. Tiling: I would need to see photos and a bit more detail on the type of tile, the pattern, type of grout, etc. in order to even guess on the pricing for this work. If you would like me to schedule it for you, then I can take care of that or you can use the link provide below. That would probably be the best solution to begin with. Get us going on the known items and we can pick away at these other items once we gain some clarity on what is fully needed and how much it will cost to do each of them.

What I have now is a bathroom fan with a CFM of 50 and scones of 3.0. It has a 3 inch duct work. I would like one that has more power and a light. I can provide my own unit . I know that there will likely need to be a larger ceiling opening to accommodate the new fan, and possibly some attic duct work if I choose a unit with a different duct connection. I would plan on using a coupon from halfoffseattle.com. What is your basic time frame and cost for this to be completed? Also- if you are able to provide more complex electrical work, what would be the additional cost to have the light be on a two-way pole so the light only could be on, or the fan only? If I were to choose a way more deluxe model with a bathroom fan/ heater/ light that requires a dedicated 20 amp circuit, is this something you can provide to and what charge?

If it is multi-story, multi-color or requiring a bunch of sanding or prep work then we should come look at the project and get some specifics nailed down. The skirting installation is probably something that can be done with a budget of $260 <---> $382 for labor but again, we really need more detail on the setting, amount of skirting, etc. If you would like me to schedule it for you, then I can take care of that or you can use the link provide below.

We would like to find out how much it would cost and what would be the best method for removing the paint. Our house is brick and it is over 60yrs old. Expert Response: Hi Mary!

Our Safe & Smart Home Preservation Program features multiple levels of protection and savings along with a maintenance program this is specialized for your geographic region and specific home. In some cases, we’ll even have time left over to take care of some extra items. Your Project Includes: - Remove paint from bricks where porch was located I am assuming that the rest of the brick is not coated and you would like this paint removed so it looks like the rest. There are a couple of different approaches. The first and most desireable would be to use some stripper. This can be done but must be done causiously because the stripper can damage other stuff that it drips on or is possibly splattered on. Another method would be to use some sort of abrasion. This can be done in several ways but would be less desirable than the stripper because it would invade the bricks at least slightly and would be more likely to deface the bricks so they look slightly different than the rest. The stripper however may still leave a shadow on the bricks as the brick under the paint would not have faded as much as the brick that has been exposed to the sun and weather. Still, I think this is likely the best approach at least initially. I would budget $360 <---> $382 for labor for your project. In this, I am assuming that amount of paint to be stripped is a few square feet at most but overall a very small area. If this is not the case, maybe you can send me a photo or some better description of how much area we are talking about.

The work involves some wall texture spray above two re-drywalled closets in the master bedroom, along with approximately a half-dozen hole/spot repair locations throughout. The work also involves cutting and installing new door knob locations in the door frames. The new doors have been purchased and installed, and the knob locations do not line up with the original/existing ones. What would be your availability to view & estimate the work, along with when the work could be completed? As an fyi – we will be out of town from Thursday, June 17th – Sunday June 27th, and would like to have the work done within a week or so after that.

The insulation varies because there are a number of different types available. I would budget about $1000 for material and it should take about $350 - $400 for labor to install. The window casing should be able to be done for under $40 in materials and probably $100 for labor. The roofing stuff can be tricky and I am wondering what has been done before. Flashing often requires the removal of some of the material in order to properly install so that may take a bit of time. I think I would budget a couple hundred for the flashing and about as much for the piece meal shingle replacement and that should get us there but this roof may need some overall attention that could be more costly.

It is likely that one isn't even made that would slip right in with these standing shower stalls and even if it did, there would likely be issues with the trim or connection to the pan or something that would make it much more difficult. I am going to give you a big range here that is really wide because the variables in this sort of thing are so wide. I would budget $560 <---> $982 for labor for your project. There is a pre-fab formica version that can be ordered to fit the existing wall size if it is super tough or time consuming to change that. In that case, we may be forced into building a custom pan if anything is wrong with the existing one. Anyway, lots of options here.

Is there a water supply and drain already available? You will likely want some outlets as well so we need to look at where power is going to come from. My guess is it is probably a $1460 <---> $1782 for labor for your project but that is taking a ton of assumptions and does not consider what we may need to do to bring the water or electrical into the area. I would guess you are looking at around $1000 for materials but that depends upon the type of countertop, sink, fixture, etc. that you choose.

Kelly Taylor from our support center will be in contact with you. Regards, RQ Hi RQ Well, that certainly makes sense - I'm not sure the Groupon was presented in the best way, because it really encourages us consumers to try to take as much advantage as we can, and isn't really a great deal for you. That being said, if we like the work (or more exactly, the wife is happy) I know we'd have other things to do. In any case, if you think that method would work, and we can spend our Groupons towards it, I'd like to schedule the work. If it runs over two hours we'd be happy to cover the remaining time at standard rates. Also, we'd like it if your guys could bring the materials needed (we understand, of course, that we pay for them). Is that possible? Ken Hi Ken, I hear you. We prefer not to do a free consultation with the GroupOn's. The thing is that the GroupOn is really just an introduction for us. We get $20 for a two hour visit which is really tough for us if the relationship doesn't turn into additional work. So, we are asking that members not take advantage of a free visit to only use what will be a $20 visit afterwards. The tech's have enough trouble getting their arms around why this is a good idea. Anyway, your approach is sound. I would quickly remove all the stick on pieces and anything that is loose on the wall. Then I would install the new drywall using liquid nails so it would adhere to the previous drywall. Then I would tape the seams and edges and proceed as normal. The only challenge this presents is you loose 1/2" of space in your room and it makes hanging things more difficult in the future because you won't be able to easily find the studs in the wall due to the double layer of drywall. A bonus is that it will provide better sound proof and insulation qualities. Hope this helps. RQ- Okay, thanks. That makes sense. Another question, or consideration: What we're interested in doing is covering existing damaged drywall. Previous owners had installed self-stick mirrored tiles, ad removing them left places where the adhesive is still on the drywall, and others where the adhesive tore off the surface layer. We thought that the simplest way to deal with it would be to cover it with more drywall. Does this make sense to you as a solution? Removing the old damaged drywall seemed like it would be a much bigger and messier job. If this is not a good solution, can you suggest another approach? We have purchased two hours of work through Groupon, and we'd like to find something that would not cost a significant extra amount - but we can certainly expand the budget to get satisfactory results. We had hoped to have someone come by and look at the wall and make recommendations, but we have not been able to get that scheduled. Ken Ken, There are a bunch of variables to projects like this. With the quick estimates, we would be foolish to not push the envelope in terms of what we think the cost would be. We don't work to do one-off projects. We want to build long standing relationships with our members such that we become the go-to source for all of these type of repair and maintenance items. If, in a quick estimate, we shoot low just to get the job and it ends up being more then we don't leave a good taste and the first date may be the end. Installing the drywall should be done in under an hour if all the walls are square and proper backing is in place. If I was doing the work, I would hit it with a coat of hot mud to begin with so that I could quickly install a second coat of finishing compound. I would then put a fan or two on it for a while and come back with a wet sponge at just the right moment and then hit with a final coat of topping compound that would dry quickly. All things being perfect, this could likely be done in maybe 3 hours but it is pretty uncommon that everything goes perfectly. Hopefully this give you the necessary backdrop. Sanding yourself would be a much bigger project if you really don't have a bunch of experience with drywall. It is sort of an art. Regards, RQ- Just so I'm clear - you are estimating somewhere around six hours of labor for this job? That seems very long for a single small wall. How long would it take if we did our own sanding and finishing? Hi Ken! We’re excited to help you with your project.

And, provide a clear path to an outdoor area where we can set up a tile wet saw. These saws are kind of messy and require a water source.

We’ve provided detailed information below, but first we want to tell you how you might be able to save money on this and future repairs. You see, we are world-class repair experts AND we also specialize in helping individuals lower the cost of home ownership through our Safe & Smart Home Preservation Program. Each year home owners unknowingly put their families at risk and spend thousands of unnecessary dollars on costly repairs that all could have been avoided. Our Safe & Smart Home Preservation Program features multiple levels of protection and savings along with a maintenance program this is specialized for your geographic region and specific home. In some cases, we’ll even have time left over to take care of some extra items. Your Project Includes: - install garbage disposal I would budget $160 for labor for your project. I am assuming there is already a disposal in place. If not then this budget is too low as it will take more time to convert what you have over to accepting a disposal. There are also some (uncommon) unstandard disposals that end up taking more time. To save yourself some cost, you can also run to the hardware store and ask for a "disposal drain kit." They will ask how many bowls you have in your sink. Having this kit will usually cure any issues of reassembly of the plumbing.

Your Project Includes: - 3 towel bars mounted - 3 toilet paper rods mounted - cabinet hardware changed out - a small closet unit assembled and installed - a new sink and vanity installed I would budget $360 <---> $582 for labor for your projects. Some of them can likely be done pretty quickly but others will take time. One suggestion that I can make to reduce time for example is the closet system. If you unpack it and place all the hardware in little containters by type, that will take some time off and reduce costs. Same goes for other items such as the bars and rods. If you unpack them and set them near where they will be mounted, it will save time. You can also measure and mark where you want them to be installed to quicken that process.

We have an articulating bracket for our TV which must be secured on to two wall studs. -Repair toilet roll dispenser torn out of wall– may require re-painting of small powder-room. -Repair a pot-light in master shower-stall. -Various caulking/sealing in and out of the house. -Repair of weather-stripping around doors -Clearing of eves, clearing of roof debris (3-story house) -Exterior cleaning of house (3 stories) -Various touch-up painting Expert Response: Hi Nigel, Some of these may be able to be combined to save some costs. My guestimates here are as if we were to attack each of these separately. -Wall-mount a 46” flat TV. We have an articulating bracket for our TV which must be secured on to two wall studs. THIS CAN BE DONE FOR $160 BUT WOULD NOT INCLUDE HOOKING UP AND TESTING THE COMPONENTRY (DVD, VCR, ETC.). WE MAY ALSO NEED A HAND WHEN SETTING THE TV ONTO THE BRACKET AS A 46" IS A BIT BIG FOR ONE MAN TO HANDLE. -Repair toilet roll dispenser torn out of wall– may require re-painting of small powder-room. LIKELY A $55-$70 PROJECT -Repair a pot-light in master shower-stall. LIKELY A $55-$70 PROJECT -Various caulking/sealing in and out of the house. IT WOULD BE EASY TO SEE THIS TAKING $180 -Repair of weather-stripping around doors IT REALLY DEPENDS UPON THE NUMBER OF DOORS AND TYPE OF STRIPPING. SOME IS REALLY QUICK AND EASY TO REPLACE WHILE OTHERS ARE NOT. SOURCING THE RIGHT TYPE CAN ALSO BE TIME CONSUMING. I WOULD BUDGET $55-$70 PER DOOR WITH A MINIMUM OF $200. -Clearing of eves, clearing of roof debris (3-story house) I WOULD BUDGET $230 OR POSSIBLY MORE FOR THIS. TOUGH TO SAY WITHOUT SEEING IT. -Exterior cleaning of house (3 stories) I AM ASSUMING YOU MEAN PRESSURE WASHING. IF SO, I WOULD BUDGET $270 FOR THIS PLUS RENTAL FEE FOR THE EQUIPMENT NEEDED. -Various touch-up painting I DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH OR HOW MANY COLORS BUT IF YOU HAVE SPARE CANS OF PAINT AROUND AND THE FINISH IS FLAT THEN THIS CAN BE DONE QUICKLY. ANY OTHER SHEEN (OTHER THAN FLAT) AND THE TOUCH UP SPOTS WILL SHOW. I WOULD BUDGET $150 - $200 BUT IT REALLY DEPENDS UPON HOW MUCH YOU HAVE TO DO. THESE GUESSES DO NOT INCLUDE MATERIALS OR ANYTHING OTHER THAN LABOR COSTS. I hope this helps. Regards, RQ- Thanks for the quick response. Since this is a longer-term project with a number of tasks, I would like to begin with a quote for each task, prior to having any work done.

The vertical looks like the bottom few inches is rotted as well. There is suppose to be a small gap between the metal at the bottom of the vertical and the vertical cedar. This allows the wood to breath and drain properly. If this was done then the vertical would likely not have rotted. The larger pieces need to be replaced as well. We can do similar or their may be a hardiplank material available that we could use instead. Chances are, if we rebuild it as is then it is going to rott again in a few years. Anyway, to do it all, I would budget $342 ---> $391 for labor. For the materials, it depends if we replace the full length of the veriticals but that is the right thing to do in this situation. We could trim a bit off and piece something in with some caulking but it wouldn't look as good to do that. I would plan for maybe $150 for materials. Thanks for the photos. That really helps. Regards, RQ- Thank you for you quick response! I have attached some photos that we took this afternoon. The flasher that sits on top of the wood seems to still be in good shape, so I wouldn't think it needs to be replaced. Thanks, Kara Hi Kara! We’re excited to help you with your project.

It is also important that the space is clear for the drywall installation and that the proper framing and backing has been done for the drywall work.

It is really tough to replace a patch of stretch carpet and have the patch not obvious. If it is glue down then we would not be able to transport carpet from the closet to the patch area so I am assuming it is stretch carpet. In general, for the price of carpet, I would consider replacing the entire room but if that is not possible then we can attempt to conceal the patch work as much as possible and use your reminant for the closet area.

Your Project Includes: - regrout tub - repair rust around drain The regrouting can be done in 2 hours but commonly takes 3-4 hours depending upon the circumstances. I am not sure about the rust around the drain. If this is some sort of staining then it may not be repairable without exchanging fixtures. If it is a piece that can be replaced then we can certainly take care of that for you! For now, I would schedule 4 hours to get going on the regrout and if we finish it in less time then you only pay for that amount of time.

My Garage door opener is not working. I need an evaluation if it can be repaired, if not I have bought a new opener, and want to get that installed. Please refer me to an expert in these with an estimate. Thanks. Expert Response: Pramod, Any of our guys can take care of this for you. If you want to schedule it, you can use the link below or we can do it for you. It really depends upon where you are located. I see that you are in Sammamish so Tom Flood or Sergio Bravo would be very close to you but any of the guys that show up would be great in terms of the quality of service. These guys are all owners so it is important to them to delivery a quality product. Let me know if you need assistance getting this on the calendar. Be sure that you include your GroupOn code when scheduling. Regards, RQ- Of course, if the first visit a good job is done, I definitely won't hesitate to schedule followups. Is there a specific handyman you would recommend for the tasks below? Pramod, That would be great assuming that you do plan to hire us to finish the work and perform other projects. It would not be fair to just use the 2-hour GroupOn because that is a project that we did with GroupOn to gain introductions to lots of new members who will use our service once and then again as well as recommending it to others. Most of the money that you paid GroupOn is kept by GroupOn so we are basically working for free for these first 2-hours so it is better if these guys get a chance for additional work on top of the GroupOn. Thanks, RQ- Thanks for your reply. Can I also do this: I will book a 2 hr slot and hope to get as much as possible done. I also want to use the 'Groupon' coupon which is for a 2 hr slot. Let me know which handyman is best suited for these and I'll go ahead with it. Hi Pramod! We’re excited to help you with your project.

My Garage door opener is not working. I need an evaluation if it can be repaired, if not I have bought a new opener, and want to get that installed. For item number one, this is most commonly caused by one of two things. Either a bird(s) or a rat(s). When it is below you or in the wall, it is most likely a rat. If it is above you, it is normally a bird. We have removed lots of these and since this is likely a bird, those are usually pretty easy to do. The thing we want to do in addition to removing the birds and transiting them to a safe location with their next (if possible) is to install some bird blocking or meshing to prevent future entry. This can be just one location or it could be many holes that will need to be covered. It could also be bees or wasps as you mention. It is tough to believe that you could actually hear the buzzing through the walls if it was a bee or wasp nest. If it was a big one then maybe but they are fairly well insulated in just their next so it seems like it would be difficult for them to make that much noise. But, it is a possibility. Either way, we can check it out regardless of what it is, we can remove it. If it is the little flying, stinging critters then that will have to be handled a bit more delicately to protect ourselves from getting stung! For item number two, we can take care of that as well. Servicing toilets often takes a couple of hours assuming we don't need to run for additional parts. For item number three, that is fairly easy as well. Lubricating the track is something that is often missed on residential door openers which we can do as well as making any necessary adjustments to the system. If we need to replace it then we can of course do that as well and this usually takes a couple of hours if we have all the parts available. I would begin with scheduling 4 hours (or more - you only pay for what is used) and I would plan to budget $260 <---> $382 overall for labor for your projects. We could possibly get it done in less time but given the items, I doubt it. It is likely that it would take longer. We want you to be completely comfortable with all aspects of your home repair.

We should be able to do it in less time including closing in the old hole but that is a conservative estimate to run with. What group do you work in? We use all MS stuff in our system. Thanks, RQ- Hi Camielle, It is tough to say for sure. The most difficult part would be to repair the old access to match whatever flooring you want there. Cutting a new access should only take 1/2 a day or so. I would estimate that you should budget $237 - $281 for labor to do this. This does not include repairing the old opening top surface. So, we can close it off but matching the existing flooring (depending upon what it is) could take some time. Hope this helps! RQ- Hi Camielle!

Maybe up to 10 hours with the potential of one of these going south in the process and costing a couple more hours. So, the 13-14 hour range would be a high estimate in my view. Hopefully we can help you. We sure want you to be able to experience the benefits and ease of the Yellow Van Handyman service. Regards, RQ- Thanks-- that is too much of a range for price for me. Hi Alexa, It isn't a ton different if you put it all together. Here is what I mean. I excluded the chaneliers so if you add an hour or two for each of those you are up to maybe 13-14 hours. The TV mounting and wire hiding could be time consuming as well. In general, I would say that 18-25 hours is an estimate to make double sure that everything can be done within that time. We train our staff to estimate high so they can deliver within rather than exceeding. With the Quick Estimate process, we tend to try to drill more accurately and we have a record of being within 15% so we do a good job with just a little bit of information. We know that everything doesn't always go as planned. Likely 1 or 2 of the things on your list will end up being a pain in the neck but the rest will flow smoothly. We plan for that. Hopefully this helps pull things together a bit. I don't know who you emailed with but I think they would likely agree their shooting a little high in hopes of delivering something that costs less than you expect. Let me know if I can assist further. Regards, RQ- Hi. As I emailed you, I emailed the local name from your company and they gave me an estimate of 18-25 hours.... I thought you guys might take a while to get back to me and I am eager to start on the project-- but it looks like I created a lot of confusion-- those budgets are extremely different...

Consumer Product Safety Commission; ** - Source: National Fire Protection Association Question: This is a new issue to me: I am hearing a buzzing and scratching sound above the ceiling in my master bedroom. When disturbed (tapping at ceiling) the buzzing increases. I need someone to take care of this, probably happening in the attic. I hope it is not damaging the wood. Can you please give me an estimate and if you can completely take care of it? Thanks! Expert Response: Pramod, I hear you and I thought about the possibility of it being bees or wasps as well. It is tough to believe that you could actually hear the buzzing through the walls if it was a bee or wasp nest. If it was a big one then maybe but they are fairly well insulated in just their next so it seems like it would be difficult for them to make that much noise. But, it is a possibility. Either way, we can check it out regardless of what it is, we can remove it. If it is the little flying, stinging critters then that will have to be handled a bit more delicately to protect ourselves from getting stung! Thanks, RQ- Thanks for the mail... I feel it's not a bird but some kind of bee or wasp since if I tap on the ceiling I hear buzzing sound. Can you take care of this in a 2 hour session? Please let me know who the best handyman is for this job. My zip is 98075. Hi Pramod! We’re excited to help you with your project. We’ve provided detailed information below, but first we want to tell you how you might be able to save money on this and future repairs. You see, we are world-class repair experts AND we also specialize in helping individuals lower the cost of home ownership through our Safe & Smart Home Preservation Program. Each year home owners unknowingly put their families at risk and spend thousands of unnecessary dollars on costly repairs that all could have been avoided. Our Safe & Smart Home Preservation Program features multiple levels of protection and savings along with a maintenance program this is specialized for your geographic region and specific home. In some cases, we’ll even have time left over to take care of some extra items. Your Project Includes: - Buzzing in ceiling This is most commonly caused by one of two things. Either a bird(s) or a rat(s). When it is below you or in the wall, it is most likely a rat. If it is above you, it is normally a bird. We have removed lots of these and since this is likely a bird, those are usually pretty easy to do. The thing we want to do in addition to removing the birds and transiting them to a safe location with their next (if possible) is to install some bird blocking or meshing to prevent future entry. This can be just one location or it could be many holes that will need to be covered. I would begin with scheduling a 3 or 4 our appointment. If we don't use all the time then you only pay for what is used. We want you to be completely comfortable with all aspects of your home repair. As you strive to make the best decision, please let us know if we can help you by providing additional information.

Our Safe & Smart Home Preservation Program features multiple levels of protection and savings along with a maintenance program this is specialized for your geographic region and specific home. In some cases, we’ll even have time left over to take care of some extra items. Your Project Includes: - 3 doors need adjusting - all interior doors need finishing The door adjustments bring into question the stability of the framing of the house or the installer of those doors. It is uncommon that this many of the doors would have rubbing problems. We can look at it and make the necessary repairs even if that means re-installing the frames for the doors. For the finish work, it is tough to give you an estimate for this without being able to see the doors or know how many. What I would do is go ahead and schedule an initial visit which includes 2 hours of professional service. During this visit, we can look at the rubbing doors and make some repairs there and assess what the best method will be for getting some finish on those and the other doors. If you want just the doors painted or stained then that can easily be done by removing each and setting up a little station in the garage or outside to apply that finish and then after some dry time, reinstall them. If you want the door jams finished as well then those need to be done in place. We want you to be completely comfortable with all aspects of your home repair.

We’ve provided detailed information below, but first we want to tell you how you might be able to save money on this and future repairs. You see, we are world-class repair experts AND we also specialize in helping individuals lower the cost of home ownership through our Safe & Smart Home Preservation Program. Each year home owners unknowingly put their families at risk and spend thousands of unnecessary dollars on costly repairs that all could have been avoided. Our Safe & Smart Home Preservation Program features multiple levels of protection and savings along with a maintenance program this is specialized for your geographic region and specific home. In some cases, we’ll even have time left over to take care of some extra items. Your Project Includes: - Install 14 kitchen cabinets I am assuming that this is a typical size kitchen with a combination of uppers and lower cabinets. I am also assuming that the cabinets are assembled and ready for installation. If they are not unpacked then that is something that you can easily do and it saves a lot of time. I would also verify the packing list and the actual cabinets to ensure what you have is what you need to make the installation go smoothly. In generally, once a kitchen is gutted and the repair work in and on the walls is completed, etc. Then it normally takes about 40 hours to put the kitchen back together which includes installing the cabinets and setting all the fixures, trim, etc. The exception is that the countertop is not considered here. There are so many different types now and the most common that we are seeing is some sort of stone which is typically installed by a sub-contractor that we have relationships with. We however, do make (fabricate) the sub-top which is the substrate that the stone countertop would sit on. Anyway, that would cover the entire assembly of the kitchen which is more than you asked for but I wanted to give you a big swath of information to work with. Just the cabinets would likely take about 1 full day or 8-10 hours to install. So, I would budget $560 <---> $682 for labor for your cabinet installation project.

We’re excited to help you with your project. We’ve provided detailed information below, but first we want to tell you how you might be able to save money on this and future repairs. You see, we are world-class repair experts AND we also specialize in helping individuals lower the cost of home ownership through our Safe & Smart Home Preservation Program.

Our Safe & Smart Home Preservation Program features multiple levels of protection and savings along with a maintenance program this is specialized for your geographic region and specific home. In some cases, we’ll even have time left over to take care of some extra items. Your Project Includes: - Paint 97 feet of new cedar fencing I would recommend using a stain or solid stain. Solid stain looks like paint but allows for breathing. Paint will peal off cedar every time even if it is primed because of the high moisture content of the wood. It really needs to be stained. But, again, it can look like paint, we just need to ensure that the correct materials are used. This can also have an impact on the cost as well. Stain can be sprayed on and backrolled pretty easily. Solid stain can also be applied using the same method but takes a bit more time. If you are going to use a clear finish then I would recommend a product called Penofin. It is more expensive than some of the stuff out there but it looks magnificent and lasts for at least a couple of years before needing service or recoating. I would budget $260 <---> $331 for labor for your project. You will probably want to count on $150 or so for materials as well.

Your Project Includes: - Install over the range microwave - Remove existing range hood Taking the range hood down will only take a few minutes so just let us take care of it for you:) Installing the microwave should be able to be done in about 2-3 hours. Sometimes however they can be trickier (not sure that is a word). What I mean is that there are times when the width of the space is not correct or the power is not in the correct location or the thing needs some assembly, etc. One big thing that you could help with if you have the strength is the point when it is time to set it in place. These are typically pretty heavy and although we could bring a second person, that would increase the cost slightly. Also, having the space cleaned up and either moving the range out of the way or making sure there is clear space to move it out of the way. This needs to be done before any work because we don't want to take a chance of dropping something on it. We want you to be completely comfortable with all aspects of your home repair.

Discharge tubes should always terminate by pointing toward the ground to eliminate a scald hazard and should be between 6” and 18” off the ground. Ideally, the discharge tube terminates to an exterior or unfinished location or above a drain, though this is not always possible. The drain should also slope to drain to prevent water pooling inside the discharge tube. Expert Response: Hi Jason! We’re excited to help you with your project.

Your Project Includes: - Hide cables behind flat screen - Install new light fixture - remove old fixture - Install new sink faucet - remove old faucet Hiding the cables behind the flat screen normally requires drilling a hole through the wall into a closet or some other space. Your situation may require some other solution. I like to drill a 4 inch hole and then use some standard black or white plastic grommets to clean up the opening. If we do this on the TV side and on the closet side, then it creates a nice passage to feed the wires through. You can then mount all your components inside the closet and if you use a UHF remote you can control your components without line of sight. If you have a cabinet below your TV that you want to run the wires into then you can do this as well and if you want to hide the wires then we can install a chase inside the wall for that using a similar mechanism. Light fixtures are usually pretty quick to swap out. Sink fixtures are also relatively quick.

There are some wood/metal posts that can be used as well. They cost a bit more but they have metal sticking out of the bottom that gets sunk into the ground/concrete which make the fence more secure. I would budget $40 <---> $60 per post for labor for your project. This is a rough guess so it may be best for us to come and actually see the situation.

The big thing that will impact the cost and time of this is if we need to set any new posts to make this work.

They are also tough for me to estimate without seeing them. In general, they are relatively easy to do but the big kicker is if we can get either above or below the room where you want the work done. If you have an attic or a crawlspace then it will be relatively easy to accomplish what you want within 2-4 hours. In dollars that would likely be $300 - $400 for labor. If you don't have either of those routes that we can use to run the cables then it could be more difficult. Sometimes wires can be hidden behind molding at the base of the floor and there are also some wireless options. I would suggest that you begin with scheduling a regular initial visit so we can scope it out and likely make some progress on the projects.

In some cases, we’ll even have time left over to take care of some extra items. Your Project Includes: - Replace sod or remove and insert fresh topsoil for planting This is a great little project. I want to tell you a little story before you dive in here. I had a neighbor a few years ago that didn't take care of her yard but she wanted it to look nice. So, after years of looking at it, she had a company come and replace the entire front yard, put in some plants, a fence and some other things. It was really beautiful. But, it didn't last long. That same lawn didn't look much better by the second year than it did prior to all that work and expense. There were a couple of things that she could have done to improve her results. One, is to figure out how to get water to the yard. She didn't have a sprinkler system or the discipline to water on her own. Second, she didn't have a plan for caring for the space. All of that to say that I would ask you if you have a plan for watering whatever gets planted in this space and second, do you have a maintenance plan. What I do at my home is hire someone to help about once a month and then, when I have time, I work on it with my kids in between. I also installed a sprinkler system which saves tons of water and keeps things green with the use of an electronic timer system. So, enough with the commentary:) I would budget $260 <---> $382 for labor for your project. This would enable us to remove the sod that is there and either install some new sod or a nice layer of top soil for planting. We would also need to rent a sod cutter which would be about $60. Because of the size of the space, you could do a little sprinkler on a hose with a timer that screws onto the faucet. We could set that up for you as well. As far as the maintenance, if you enjoy it then this would be a great little project to work on yourself. Or you could hire someone to come in and do a little maintenance for you periodically. I hope this is helpful. Know that as a company we want you to be completely comfortable with all aspects of your home repair.

I would estimate that $100 would be excessive for most patch work. If you have a couple dozen small spots that needed to be patched, some minor and some moderate with holes, then I could see needing that much in supplies. The final finish color (paint) is not considered here but you likely have some extra cans in your garage or basement. If not, we can get matched paint mixed for a reasonable price. We also encourage our members to get any and all materials that they desire in advance if any part of the material fees are an issue or you think you can save a few pennies by doing some shopping. We are here to help you get your stuff done in whatever way works best for you! We want you to be completely comfortable with all aspects of your home repair. As you strive to make the best decision, please let us know if we can help you by providing additional information.

Please clarify appt for me. thank you Jen Tate Hi Jen! We’re excited to help you with your project. I forwarded a request to Josh to follow up and get you the information you need regarding your hardwood floor and the french drain. From my experience, the hard wood floors do tend to shink and expand depending upon the climate in your home and of course the weather outside. I too have hardwood floors in my home and there are some gaps in them but they are minor. I am not a flooring expert but I would suspect that anything more than 1/8" would be something we may want to repair. If however the floor is designed to have these sort of gaps then it is a design choice. Anyway, Josh can look at it and give you additional detail as well as information regarding the french drain.

Your Project Includes: - Reframe sliding glass doorway for double door These are relatively simple to do IF the double door is the same size or smaller than the existing sliding door opening. They are both made (normally) to a 60" or 72" standard width. You can purchase a slider door or double inswing/outswing door that are the made for the same size opening. If you desire to have a larger opening then we would need to open the wall and possibly increase the size of the header (wood beam support) over the doorway. I generally budget $460 <---> $582 for labor to swap an exterior door of like size. If your new door is smaller than the finish work will require a couple extra hours. If the new door is larger then you can likely double this budget to reframe for a larger opening. We want you to be completely comfortable with all aspects of your home repair.

The dimensions of the shower floor are 48" x 30". Expert Response: Hi Dave! We’re excited to help you with your project. We’ve provided detailed information below, but first we want to tell you how you might be able to save money on this and future repairs. You see, we are world-class repair experts AND we also specialize in helping individuals lower the cost of home ownership through our Safe & Smart Home Preservation Program. Each year home owners unknowingly put their families at risk and spend thousands of unnecessary dollars on costly repairs that all could have been avoided. Our Safe & Smart Home Preservation Program features multiple levels of protection and savings along with a maintenance program this is specialized for your geographic region and specific home. In some cases, we’ll even have time left over to take care of some extra items. Your Project Includes: - Repair shower floor, sub-floor, etc. - Likely due to water damage These are tough to estimate because the severity of the problem is difficult to assortain prior to digging into it. Water damage is very common but also very damaging to a structure. These can sometimes be done in a a day but more often then not require at least a couple of days or more to complete. Therefore, I would suggest that we start with a full day visit to really dig in and determine the expanse of the problem and then, from that, gain a really accurate understanding of how much more time it will take to complete the repairs if it can't be done in that initial visit. As a rough potential cost window, I would suggest budgeting a minimum of $800 and possibly a few thousand. We want you to be completely comfortable with all aspects of your home repair. As you strive to make the best decision, please let us know if we can help you by providing additional information.

Your Project Includes: - Install ceiling fan boxes (2) - Install ceiling fans (2) I estimate that your projects can be completed for between $372-$557. There are a number of factors which require the broad range of cost. The two major pieces, as you likely already know are getting the boxes mounted properly to hold the weight of the fans and getting the necessary power to the switch and fan.

We’re excited to help you with your project. We’ve provided detailed information below, but first we want to tell you how you might be able to save money on this and future repairs. You see, we are world-class repair experts AND we also specialize in helping individuals lower the cost of home ownership through our Safe & Smart Home Preservation Program. Each year home owners unknowingly put their families at risk and spend thousands of unnecessary dollars on costly repairs that all could have been avoided. Our Safe & Smart Home Preservation Program features multiple levels of protection and savings along with a maintenance program this is specialized for your geographic region and specific home. In some cases, we’ll even have time left over to take care of some extra items. Your Project Includes: - remove ceiling texture - re-tape ceiling as needed - install crown molding It is important that the room be cleared out. We can do that but we would need a place to store everything. We would then install a drop on the floor that is taped up the wall at least a few inches and then install plastic along the walls that overlaps the drop. These are messy jobs but done right, they can go quickly and easily. I would want to know what the damage was caused by. If it was water damage then some of the drywall may need to be replaced. If it was faulting taping to begin with then all of it will need to be replaced. You do not mention retexturing the ceiling so I am assuming that you want a smooth finish textured only with the typical nap roller finish in most homes. I am also assuming that the texture can be fairly easily removed with a bit of moisture and scrapping. I have seen some of these where the texture is nearly impossible to remove and the job turns into a lot more labor than planned. I estimate that the labor for this can be completed for between $832-$1257. Materials need to be considered as well. We want you to be completely comfortable with all aspects of your home repair.

Our Safe & Smart Home Preservation Program features multiple levels of protection and savings along with a maintenance program this is specialized for your geographic region and specific home. In some cases, we’ll even have time left over to take care of some extra items. Your Project Includes: - Install 3 ceiling fans - Install 2 curtain rods We generally begin each project with an initial visit. The cost of this visit is about $160. During that time, we can get to know each other and you will be guaranteed at least two hours of professional service. We tend to be able to get the actual work done much more quickly than the average home owner so you can expect a lot to happen during this initial visit. I would estimate that it is possible to complete your list within the initial visit but it could likely require an additional hour or so as there are basically 5 separate little projects. If we allow 20-30 minutes for each of the fans and then a bit of time for clean up and some time to install the curtain rods then it can easily crest the two hour point. Feel free to add additional items to the list as well. Each time we visit, we can take care of any additional items or things that come up in the moment when we happen to be there working on something else. One note with this is that I am assuming everything is in place to support these fans such as the existing lighting circuits, etc. If work needs to be done within the walls then that will require additional time.
