Testimonials
" We first hired Dyck Dewid of Hands-On Contracting in the spring of 2003, to do a fairly significant amount of repair/structural work due to moisture problems from window leakage of several windows in our former house in Raleigh. This first involved careful diagnostic work to pinpoint where the leakage was actually occurring, and then some replacement of siding and structural work to replace a few rotted interior beams. We were very impressed with Dyck's forthright and respectful manner in discussing with us the extent of this job, along with his carefully thought-out estimate. We were also impressed with the capable people he employed to do the job. The quality of the repair work was excellent and done in a timely fashion. Dyck also hired a painting crew to paint the exterior of our Raleigh house once all the repairs were done. He would stop by at times during the painting process to check on the quality of the work. We were very pleased with the result. In March 2003 we decided to move to Chapel Hill, and when we found our new house, Dyck took the time to view the house with us, and was extremely helpful in advising us of potential repairs needed before we even made an offer. Once we bought the house, we hired Dyck's company to make some structural repairs as well as to do some remodeling (moving a wall over, new flooring and carpeting in several rooms, removing old acoustic ceiling tile from many of the rooms, and replacing with drywall ceilings). This was quite a big job, and Dyck and his crew completed the job in a very timely manner. We also used Dyck and his crew to do a few more repairs on the Raleigh house at the time of its sale, and Dyck was very accommodating in making sure all the work was accomplished within the necessary time frame before the scheduled closing. In every case we have been extremely pleased with the quality of work provided by Dyck and Hands-On Contracting. We think the fees that he has charged for each job have been fair and reasonable, and each time the work has been done within the agreed-upon schedule. Dyck's philosophy and practice is to do a good job for his customers, and he encourages us to call him if we ever have a problem with his work. For all these reasons, we highly recommend Dyck and Hands-On Contracting, and we would not hesitate to use his exceptional services as necessary in the future. "
Tips
Hose Bibb Intelligence In cold weather be sure to disconnect your hoses from outdoor spigots to prevent bursting your water line. If it happens, you may not find out until you try to use the spigot. Listen for the added hiss of a leak during use, inside the wall. Much better to prevent it. More to it... is wall of spigot unheated, remote or partially heated? Does weather stay below freezing for more than a day (with no thaw)? Think!... and understand the physics. |
