"ADHW was great to work with! I called two other contractors to get quotes, but it was clear that ADHW is knowledgeable, pays attention to detail, and knows how to do the job properly. I had several items in the contract including installing a new front door, tearing down a carport, insulating the house, gutters, and new Hardie siding with trim. One contractor I got an estimate from (who was supposed to be reputable) actually wanted to leave the old siding up and put the new siding on top of the old and his price was greater than ADHW's whole contract value for JUST the siding?!?!? Being a female, one thing I really liked about ADHW is that Mark (during estimating/contracting) and his construction team (Vadim, Mike, and the whole crew) never talked down to me or pulled any sales man type of tactics, which the other contractor did. The other contractor used lines like "if anyone tells you they can do it for less, they're lying..." and "are you sure you want to..." or "this is how you need to do...", which I find to be demeaning and condescending as an educated female that knows how to do her research, how to build things herself, and knows quality work. ADHW treated me as an equal and also treated me and my home with respect. Having done many home improvement projects on my own, I had many questions during the estimating process and some changes before we solidified the contract. Mark was great at getting back to me within a day or two and answered all of my questions in detail. They accommodated my changes without issue. As with any construction project, during construction there were a couple of snafus that arose. No matter how much you plan, this just always happens. However, the team was able to take care of everything by talking through things with me, answering my questions, and by resolving the task in a timely fashion. The crew worked fast and efficiently but also took the time to do the job right. Not having seen a siding project up close and being used to handling projects on my own, I had several moments where I was nervous because I wasn't sure of the process. If I mentioned something, Vadim would walk me through and tell me the next steps. And, in the end, all the final finishing touches like the caulking and trim painting just polished it all off. My house looks amazing and I get excited every time I come home. If I have to say one thing, which I feel is very minor and wasn't a biggie to me at all, was that there was just a couple of times where I didn't expect the crew/staff and they showed. I think once was just a miscommunication between the construction crew or I misunderstood and that was when the normal lead let me know he wouldn't be there on the Saturday so I didn't expect the crew, but the crew did come on the Saturday. To me, this just showed me that they're hard workers. The other time was when the alternate lead stopped by to rehang stuff without giving me a heads up. I was home, so it didn't bother me a"

"Oscar truly stands out as a contractor who cares deeply about his clients, and that’s exactly how he made me feel. I reached out to five different contractors to assess my bathroom and offer ideas, but my experiences varied significantly. Some were overly sales-driven, others dismissed my ideas entirely, and one didn’t even follow up with an estimate. Oscar, however, was a breath of fresh air. He arrived on time, listened attentively to my ideas, and offered thoughtful suggestions. He was highly collaborative with the other workers on site, making sure everything was well coordinated. Oscar's expertise in the industry is evident, and he’s exceptionally creative when it comes to problem-solving. When he identified additional challenges during the project, he took the time to offer practical solutions, demonstrating his commitment to delivering the best result. Oscar has earned my trust and will be my go-to contractor for any future projects. I highly recommend him to anyone in need of a reliable, skilled, and dedicated professional"

"He was not able to perform the service. He told me he did not have the correct parts. That I needed PGE to come back out. I had another professional come the following day and he was able to diagnose and fix both wall heaters with no issue. I was very diappointed and felt cheated."

"So far so good. Snaking of kitchen sink with very old pipes. Hopefully snake did not poke pipes. Only time will tell. Keeping fingers crossed. They did a good job explaining and triple checked for leaks before they left. Of course they tried to upsell and gave us a metal trap they did not quote us upfront for. We would have chosen it over plastic, but price difference would need to be cleared upfront. That's the only negative. Otherwise, thus far we are very happy with the result. Thank you for coming on such short notice and on time! Super appreciated. 4.5-5 stars."

Medicare doesn’t cover walk-in tubs because the agency doesn’t consider them durable medical equipment. However, if you can prove it is a medical necessity, you may get reimbursement after installation.
You’re likely to have more luck with Medicaid, but benefits vary by state. Check with your insurance carrier for details.
Depending on your home’s water pressure, a walk-in tub takes six to eight minutes to fill. A fast drain with an average-size water volume drains in two to three minutes, but slower drains and larger basins can take up to 15 minutes.
Remember that the individual must remain in the tub while it fills and drains to avoid spillage when the door opens.
The average tub holds roughly 50 gallons of water. Exact capacities vary by product, typically between 40 and 80 gallons. In comparison, a standard bathtub typically holds 25 to 45 gallons.
If the IRS sees the purchase as a qualified medical expense, walk-in tubs may be tax-deductible. Alternatively, caregivers who install a walk-in tub may qualify for the Dependent Care Tax Credit.
