"Mr. Barrett was sensational. My home is 35 years old, and the faucet handle was so badly corroded that it was difficult even to turn off the water. In spite of the corrosion and difficulty in removing the old fixture and installing the new one, Mr. Barrett never lost his patience and continued to work on the fixture at a time when most plumbers probably would have given up and tried to sell me lots of expensive new piping. I used Handyman Barrett for the first time just one week ago for an entirely different project, and I will certainly call him again for any home projects."

We are a locally owned and operated business with over 37 years of experience in the construction industry. We are a company based on Quality & Integrity. We believe honesty is the best policy.
"This company was referred by a friend who had used them for flips in the past and had positive experiences. Perhaps it was due to Randy not being available during our job to run things, but we had an absolutely terrible experience. Long story short, I'd give the final work product a C, and that may be generous. Orlando regularly cut corners or ignored issues, which led to multiple redos. Project was way over schedule and extremely stressful. We were also treated terribly by Jackie, who accused of us lying and being too picky. Long version... We had a pretty straightforward kitchen update, new granite, backsplash, repoly on cabinets and a new wet bar/cabinet to replace a desk. Demo went well and took about a week, then we waited 3 weeks (with no working kitchen) for granite. We had to contact the granite sub directly to get any updates and schedule installation. The initial backsplash install (subway tile) was absolutely terrible and amateurish. No miter cuts on shluter and raw edges on all outside corners. On first redo, Orlando tried to cut corners to reduce tile replacement, so it still looked terrible. Third attempt, not great, but acceptable. Throughout entirety of backsplash installs, no supervisor came to our house to direct the work, so it was left to us to work with Orlando and try to problem solve to correct the problems. After waiting 8 weeks beyond the originally promised date for the cabinet, they installed it in the wrong place and it was not centered under the existing hanging cabinet. We did not notice this until the backsplash was installed and it became obvious. When talking to Orlando about it, he said he noticed it before installing the backsplash. So I guess he was just hoping we wouldn't notice? Another corner cut. To reduce rework, we agreed to moving the upper cabinet and redoing the top row of backsplash. Not ideal, but acceptable. Then came the repoly of the cabinets. After initial application, we noticed several drips and brush marks. Showed them to Orlando and he attempted to fix. Result was so much worse! Next day, I get a final invoice. No walk through as indicated in the contract. When I explained the new issues with the poly, Jackie accused of us making up the issues and just trying to skirt the last payment. No supervisor had been to our house to inspect the work and she's accusing us of lying! In the back and forth, she starts by stating neither me or my wife were there to inspect the work. When I point out that I was working from home all day, she says she was misinformed and then the story changes to I was standing over Orlando watching him work. Also not true as I was working in my basement office and Orlando left without telling me. So who is lying at this point? Then she simply demands final payment, completely ignoring our complaints. I demand that a supervisor finally come to our house to actually review the work, so Dustin finally does. Guess what, he confirms our complaints were valid and indicates the method Orlando was using to apply poly to the cabinets was wrong. So Orlando reworks them again. We're still not happy with the final product, but decided to pay the invoice and cut our losses, because it was obviously not going to get any better. One other note...every time payment came due, we'd get an invoice emailed to us late in the week with demand for immediate payment so they could make payroll. This company has been in business for 30+ years and they can't make payroll unless they get my $3k payment on Friday? This is either a lie or an indicator of a poorly managed and struggling company. Either answer is a big red flag! Now bring on the response to this review that will undoubtedly blame us and include a bunch of excuses. We got plenty of those throughout the nearly 4 months our project took to complete."

ABC employs its own staff of certified general contractors, an interior designer and a team of carpenters. We self perform 95% of our work, we subcontract specialized trades. ABC is Christian owned and fully insured.
"So thankful to find this company. We had a lot of struggles with various contractors in finishing our large basement remodeling project. We found this company and I am so thankful. They came in and finished the project in a timely manner with great skill. We plan to use them on our bathroom remodeling projects. We met 3 of the men that work for this company, all the kind of people that you can feel comfortable having around your children and in your home (I am picky about that!). Furthermore, they bring a ton of experience so they are capable of bidding a project and finishing on time and on budget without surprises! I appreciated how I could truly hand off the project and not have to watch over their shoulders. Truly a top notch company."

If your window air conditioner is relatively new or of high quality, repairing it can restore optimal performance and protect your investment. However, for older units or those with ongoing issues, it might be more cost-effective to replace the unit to ensure long-term efficiency and reliability. Consider the unit's age, the severity of the problem, repair costs versus replacement, and energy efficiency ratings when making your decision. If repairs cost more than half the price of a new unit, replacement is typically the better option.
Window air conditioners last eight to ten years on average. After this time, you may notice decreased efficiency and component wear. Replacing an older unit can improve energy savings and provide updated features like remote controls and better overall performance. With proper maintenance including regular filter cleaning, coil checks, and professional servicing, you can maximize your unit's lifespan.
If your portable AC isn't cooling, it might have a refrigerant leak or a circuit malfunction that's preventing it from working properly. It's best to contact a local air conditioner contractor to inspect and repair the unit. If your AC is older and repairs don't fix the issue, replacing it might be the most effective solution.
Removing a wall-mounted AC costs $55 to $75. Completing the removal yourself at the end of each summer season, being sure to do so according to proper guidelines, keeps you within this cost range. Should you require professional assistance for removal and disposal, if you can't move the unit yourself, expect an added fee of $25 to $50 to the overall cost.
