Discover our five points of quality Five Star Rated is different from the average home services guide. We do the research for you and focus on the truly important things you need to feel confident in your selection. Each Five Star Rated company is measured against our five points of quality, and only those who meet our qualification standards earn the privilege of being listed in this guidebook.

State Corporation Search We confirm that all selected companies structured as S Corporations, C Corporations, or Limited Liability Companies have a current and active record in compliance with the state. The one exception would be sole proprietorships not required to register with the state.

Business Credit Reports We generate a credit report on every new company considered for participation. We look for basic but critical company information including but not limited to bankruptcy history, liens or judgments history, a credit history score, and charting histories, which may indicate the level of operational stability of the company.

Professional Trade and/or State Licenses We verify that each company listed is licensed per state requirements for the trade they are practicing business in. In some states, a license is not needed unless the contractor is working in two or more fields as defined by the state.

State-Required Insurance All featured companies must carry General Liability and Workers’ Compensation Insurance as required by the state.

Customer Reviews We quality-check every company’s performance with their customers by conducting in-house customer satisfaction surveying or analyzing their prior three years of Google reviews. Companies can use our survey feedback to learn about their performance.

Licensing Requirements: Companies are required to hold an Air Conditioning Contractor License issued by the Texas Department of Licensing & Regulation.

Common Services & Products Provided: • Air conditioning and heating services • Equipment repair and replacement • System troubleshooting • Refrigerant recharging or refilling • HVAC system and equipment installation • Maintenance agreements (typically for two maintenance visits per year, spring and fall) • Thermostats • Furnaces • Humidifiers and dehumidifiers

Top 5 Tips for Consumers: 1. Maintenance is key to ensuring that your system does not fail at a crucial time of year, when temperatures are very hot or cold. Ask if the company offers maintenance plans, and if so, find out what is included. Typically, an HVAC maintenance plan includes two maintenance appointments per year, one in the spring and one in the fall. There are often additional perks and services in the plan as well.

2. Programmable thermostats can help you save money on your energy bill. If no one is home during the day, thermostats can be set to automatically adjust the temperature to use less energy while the house is empty.

3. The right HVAC system size is key to efficiently cooling and heating your home.

4. Inquire about how the company handles billing. Can you pay online, over the phone, or by check?

5. Ask for information regarding the warranties offered by the company on the services they offer, including both repair and installation work. Get all warranty information in writing.

5 Reasons to Hire a Five Star Rated Member: 1. We review dozens of companies in each market with our thorough vetting process.

2. Only the best of the best are allowed to become Five Star Rated, and guidebook inclusion is limited to five members per category.

3. Companies cannot buy their way into the guidebooks; Five Star Rated is invite-only.

4. All Five Star Rated companies must carry general liability insurance as well as workers’ compensation insurance when required by their state.

5. Homeowners can register for the Five Star Guarantee to ensure a great experience.

Licensing Requirements: The state of Texas does not issue or require a trade license for companies in this service category.

Common Services & Products Provided: • Repair and installation of most common household appliances, including refrigerators; freezers; ice makers; gas and electric ranges, stoves, and ovens; induction cooktops; microwave ovens; dishwashers; garbage disposals; trash compactors; and clothes washers and dryers • Factory-certified services • Preventative maintenance

Top 5 Tips for Consumers: 1. The refrigerator temperature should be set between 35 to 37 degrees Fahrenheit and the freezer temperature should be set to 0 degrees Fahrenheit. Change refrigerator water filters per the manufacturer’s recommendations.

2. Hot water is essential for clean and dry dishes.

Low water temperatures can be one reason dishes are not getting all the way clean. When you load the dishwasher, make sure no dishes or cutlery will prevent the spray arm from turning.

3. Turn on cold water and the disposal before putting food into it. Food should be completely ground up and flushed out before the disposal is turned off.

Feeding the disposal a large amount of waste too fast can clog pipes, so feed large amounts slowly or throw it in the trash.

4. Oven breakdowns can occur during the cleaning cycle, so avoid using the self-clean function on an oven immediately prior to a big event.

5. Rubber-backed mats can cause unbalanced washing machine loads, and the rubber backing can break down and separate, clogging hoses, pumps, filters, and valves.

5 Reasons to Hire a Five Star Rated Member: 1. We review dozens of companies in each market with our thorough vetting process.

2. Only the best of the best are allowed to become Five Star Rated, and guidebook inclusion is limited to five members per category.

Common Services & Products Provided: • Bathtub and shower conversion services • One-day bathroom remodeling services • Design services • Shower and tub replacement • Cabinet installation • Tile installation • Countertop installation • Fixture installation

Top 5 Tips for Consumers: 1. When talking to a contractor about your project, explain in detail what work you want done. If you are not sure what you want, ask the contractor for suggestions or ask if you can look at a portfolio of other bathroom remodeling projects they have worked on.

2. Request detailed, written specifications when asking bathtub and shower conversion contractors for estimates. This will help you and the contractor avoid confusion about what is expected and what is included in the cost of the job.

3. If changes to the scope of the project occur as work progresses, get written documentation on changes, cost, and time.

4. While each project’s unique requirements will determine the construction steps needed, common bathroom remodeling steps include demolition, structural carpentry work, roughing out utilities, and installing drywall.

5. When choosing a bathtub and shower conversion contractor, consider the company’s experience, craftsmanship quality, grade of materials offered, warranty options, and scope of work in their proposal.

Common Services & Products Provided: • Concrete installation, repair, and replacement • Driveways and aprons • Sidewalks and walkways • Patios, retaining walls, and pool decks • Garage floors • Stamped and decorative concrete • Paver stone installation • Outdoor living spaces • Hardscaping • Foundation repair

Top 5 Tips for Consumers: 1. Concrete installation is affected by the type of soil in your area. In parts of the country with expansive soil, contractors add crushed gravel to create an even, solid base. In areas with dry soil, contractors need to dampen the soil before pouring concrete. These initial steps ensure a strong surface.

2. Concrete comes in a range of style options, including decorative concrete, colored concrete, or painted concrete. Concrete specialists can create virtually any decorative effect with different artistic applications.

3. Pavers are available in a variety of shapes, colors, and sizes. They can be made to look like cobblestone, brick, or slate. Pavers should be installed on ground that has been thoroughly tamped down. This helps prevent the pavers from shifting and loosening in the future.

4. Retaining walls are a good landscaping solution for hilly yards. They can also be used to create interesting outdoor features like sunken patios.

5. A stained and sealed concrete garage floor looks nicer and is easier to keep clean and maintained than a bare concrete surface.

2. Only the best of the best are allowed to become Five Star Rated, and guidebook inclusion is limited to five members per category.

Licensing Requirements: The state of Texas does not issue or require a trade license for companies in this service category.

Common Services & Products Provided: • Concrete leveling and raising for driveways, sidewalks, walkways, patios, steps, and foundations • Polyurethane foam lifting • Slabjacking • Mudjacking • Foundation repair • Foundation stabilization • Piering • Crawl space encapsulation and waterproofing • Basement waterproofing systems • Foundation drainage systems

Top 5 Tips for Consumers: 1. Signs of sunken concrete issues include sinking concrete steps or sidewalks; cracked, bumpy, and uneven driveways or patios; cracking and sinking sections of slabs; washout of soils under concrete slabs; and repeated cracking of concrete slabs.

2. The processes for raising concrete by mudjacking or polyurethane injection are similar. Holes are drilled into the concrete slab, mud material or polyurethane foam is pumped under the slab, and the voids under the slab are filled, which raises the slab. The drill holes are patched with a concrete mixture to complete the process.

3. With the ability to cure in minutes, polyurethane allows for swift lifting and stabilization.

4. Uneven exterior concrete slabs should be repaired for many reasons, including convenience and safety.

An even concrete slab is very important if you plan to build anything on your slab or lay down any type of outdoor tile.

5. Once the concrete has been repaired, address the underlying causes of the sinking. Drainage issues and improper land grading can lead to recurring problems.

Licensing Requirements: Some services, including microbial remediation, require an Air Conditioning or Mold Remediation Contractor License issued by the Texas Department of Licensing & Regulation. Companies that do not offer these services are not required to hold a trade license.

Common Services & Products Provided: • Duct cleaning • Duct sanitization • Duct sealing • Duct insulation • Duct replacement • Indoor air quality solutions • Dryer vent cleaning and repair • HVAC system component cleaning • Duct leakage testing and repairs • Filtration evaluation and upgrades

Top 5 Tips for Consumers: 1. Duct cleaning frequency depends on your needs and preferences. If your air duct supply and return vents look dirty, the inside of the system is probably dirty too.

2. Home remodeling projects often produce a lot of dust and debris, which can get into the duct system because of the static pressure airflow from return air to supply air duct lines. It’s a good idea to schedule duct cleaning after a home renovation project.

3. Duct cleaning involves cleaning various HVAC system components, including the supply and return air ducts and registers, grills and diffusers, heat exchangers, heating and cooling coils, condensate drain pans (drip pans), fan motor, fan housing, and the air handling unit housing.

4. If your heating and cooling bills rose significantly compared to the same time last year, your air ducts could be clogged or leaking.

5. If mold is found in your ductwork and HVAC system, hire a pro to clean the entire system and ductwork to remove the mold and prevent mold from growing back.

5 Reasons to Hire a Five Star Rated Member: 1. We review dozens of companies in each market with our thorough vetting process.

Top 5 Tips for Consumers: 1. Always call a licensed and insured professional electrician to perform electrical repairs. Electrical work requires specialized knowledge and tools to avoid injury to yourself or damage to your home.

2. If you own an older home, you may want an electrician to examine your system to catch any safety issues.

Your electrical system may not be properly grounded, for instance, or you may need a larger main panel.

3. If your breakers trip frequently, outlets emit a burning odor or strange noises, or lights flicker at random, call an electrician to take a look for underlying issues.

4. The US Fire Administration recommends testing your smoke detectors once a month, replacing the batteries once a year, and replacing smoke detector units every ten years or when they no longer function when tested.

5. Ask your electrical contractor about standby generators if you live in an area that commonly experiences storms or power outages or if someone in your home relies on medical equipment.

Fence Staining Category & Sealing

Texas Best Stain. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 469-459-9817

Licensing Requirements: The state of Texas does not issue or require a trade license for companies in this service category.

Top 5 Tips for Consumers: 1. Staining and sealing your fence protects it from the elements, keeps it looking nice, and lengthens the life of the fence.

2. Before staining and sealing, have your fence cleaned and repaired. Stain and sealant are typically applied at the same time and can be found as a two-in-one product.

Common Services & Products Provided: • Fence staining and sealing • Fence cleaning • Fence repair

3. Sealants cover the pores in the wood, which makes water bead up and run off rather than penetrate. Sun, rain, snow, and wind can all cause noticeable wear on an unprotected fence. Even fences made from pressure-treated wood should be sealed.

4. Solid fence stains completely hide the wood grain and last three to seven years. Semitransparent and semisolid stains add color without masking the wood grain. They last about two years and offer some protection from UV rays and water damage.

5. Clear fence sealants protect the fence from mold and mildew but need to be reapplied every year.

Oil-based sealants last between two and four years and help prevent mold, mildew, and algae. Waterbased sealants are easier to use (and easier on the environment) than oil-based sealants.

5 Reasons to Hire a Five Star Rated Member: 1. We review dozens of companies in each market with our thorough vetting process.

2. Only the best of the best are allowed to become Five Star Rated, and guidebook inclusion is limited to five members per category.

3. Companies cannot buy their way into the guidebooks; Five Star Rated is invite-only.

4. All Five Star Rated companies must carry general liability insurance as well as workers’ compensation insurance when required by their state.

Common Services & Products Provided: • Fence design • Fence installation • Fence repair • Aluminum, chain-link, vinyl, wood, and decorative metal fences • Fence staining and sealing • Gate and access control installation

Top 5 Tips for Consumers: 1. A fence design and installation company should first visit your property and then provide you with a written proposal. Avoid working with a company that gives estimates by phone without seeing your property first, since those types of estimates can be inaccurate.

2. Ask to see a portfolio of the fencing contractor’s work.

Viewing the contractor’s previous fencing projects provides insight into the company’s work quality and is particularly helpful in visualizing how a particular fence type will look once it is installed.

3. Ask the fencing contractor if they will obtain all necessary permits and locate utilities before the fence is constructed or if those items will be your responsibility.

4. Common fence styles include privacy fences, picket fences, post-and-rail fences, and chain-link fences.

If you are not sure what type of fence you would like, ask your contractor for a recommendation.

5. Staining and sealing your fence protects it from the elements, keeps it looking nice, and lengthens its lifespan.

Common Services & Products Provided: • Conventional and engineered hardwood flooring • Tile, stone, luxury vinyl, and laminate flooring • Carpet installation and stretching • Flooring installation and repair • Hardwood sanding and refinishing • Stairway updates • Flooring sales and installation • Area rug sales, repair, and refurbishing

Top 5 Tips for Consumers: 1. View flooring samples in as large a size as possible and under a variety of lighting conditions at home.

This will help you choose the best option for your home decor.

2. A damaged subfloor can compromise the flooring material installed over it. It is important to fix any subfloor issues before installing new flooring to avoid problems in the future and to ensure the flooring lasts a long time.

3. Vinyl flooring is a good option for areas prone to getting wet, such as kitchens, bathrooms, and laundry rooms, because it is low-maintenance and resistant to mold and mildew. Tile, stone, and grout needs to be resealed approximately every four years but is otherwise low maintenance.

4. Flooring can have a big impact on a home’s resale value. Consider your return on investment when choosing a new floor covering, as well as your lifestyle and the level of care required for different flooring types.

5. Reduce wear on hardwood floors with floor mats and rugs. Also use felt protectors or furniture coasters on furniture legs to prevent dents and scratches.

Common Services & Products Provided: • Foundation repair • Pier systems • Wall anchor systems • Crawl space repair and encapsulation • Basement waterproofing • Moisture control service • Foundation drainage systems • Concrete lifting and leveling

Top 5 Tips for Consumers: 1. Signs of foundation damage include vertical and horizontal cracks in foundation walls, drywall cracks near doors and windows, unlevel floors, windows or doors sticking, cracks in exterior brick veneer, settled or uneven basement floors, and cracks in garage slabs.

2. The following conditions can cause foundations to settle, crack, and bow: extremely dry weather, which causes the soil to shrink and contract; and wet weather, which causes the soil to expand and create pressure.

3. A leaking, cracked, or otherwise compromised foundation will devalue your home. If your home shows signs of cracking, settling, or leaking, your best course of action will be to repair the foundation to protect and ensure the value of your home.

4. Foundation inspections should include a digital elevation survey and a discussion of the causes of the foundation problems.

5. Discuss preventative measures such as root barriers, proper drainage and grading, and moisture maintenance with your contractor.

Top 5 Tips for Consumers: 1. Garage door systems include either torsion or extension springs above the garage door. If a spring breaks, the door is no longer properly supported and can be difficult or impossible to lift. Working with garage door springs is very dangerous and should only be done by experts.

2. Garage door components and products can vary greatly. Learn about the performance differences of various options, and look for value rather than the lowest price.

3. If you hear grinding noises when using your garage door, you should stop the garage door opener or stop attempting to open or close it, if operating by hand.

Call a professional garage door repair company to investigate.

4. Regular maintenance is key to a properly and safely operating garage door. On a regular basis, visually inspect the garage door system, including the springs, cables, pulleys, rollers, and hardware for signs of damage or wear.

5. Steel is one of the most popular materials for garage doors, but other options include wood, aluminum, fiberglass, and vinyl.

Licensing Requirements: The state of Texas does not issue or require a trade license for companies in this service category.

Common Services & Products Provided: • Polyaspartic and epoxy coatings for concrete floors in garages, basements, laundry rooms, and more • Concrete floor preparation and crack repair • Decorative and metallic flake add-ins • Clear coat application

Top 5 Tips for Consumers: 1. A properly coated garage floor is not only easier to clean but also helps resist chemicals like oil, salt, and gasoline that would otherwise seep into untreated concrete. This makes maintenance simpler and helps preserve your garage’s appearance over time.

2. The key to a durable floor coating is preparing the surface. A coating applied to concrete that isn’t even, clean, or fully dry will not last long before it starts to bubble and peel from the heat and friction of vehicles tires.

3. Professional installers can add decorative flakes and other elements to the coating to customize the look and feel of your new floor. A textured surface also makes the floor slip resistant.

4. Most high-quality coatings cure within a day or two of application. Some installations may require extra drying time depending on temperature, humidity levels, and products used.

5. While epoxy is one of the most commonly used materials, newer options like polyaspartic coatings offer greater UV stability, faster curing times, and superior resistance to abrasions and hot tire pickup.

Licensing Requirements: The state of Texas does not issue or require a trade license for companies in this service category.

Common Services & Products Provided: • Glass and window pane repair • Cracked and chipped glass repair and replacement • Double- and single-pane window glass repair and replacement • Fogged window glass repair or replacement • Custom window glass replacement • Installation of decorative glass • Frosted window glass • Tinted window glass • Storm window glass

Top 5 Tips for Consumers: 1. Broken glass should be cleaned up and replaced as soon as possible. If a window breaks, carefully clean up the glass and cover the window opening until the glass replacement contractor arrives. Use protective gloves to pick up large pieces of glass, and vacuum up smaller pieces. Packing tape and a double layer of trash bags should be sufficient to temporarily cover the window opening.

2. Cracked window glass can lead to energy inefficiency and higher heating and cooling costs if conditioned air is leaking through the crack. It also poses a hazard to the home’s occupants, since the integrity of the glass is already compromised and it could break more easily.

3. Windows that fog up or collect condensation may be a sign that the seal has been compromised and the window glass needs to be replaced.

4. Window glass can be damaged by severe storms.

Ask your glass repair contractor about storm window glass if you live in an area with high winds or frequent storms.

5. Frosted or decorative glass offers privacy when installed in entryway and bathroom windows.

Common Services & Products Provided: • Gutter installation and replacement • Gutter cover installation • Gutter guard installation • Downspout installation and replacement • Specialty accessories and product options, such as ice reduction systems for gutters, downspout extenders, rain chains, splash blocks, and extended gutter and downspout diameter options

Top 5 Tips for Consumers: 1. Gutters and downspouts direct water away from your home, protecting the soil, foundation, roof, and siding.

Faulty, damaged, or improperly installed gutters can lead to basement water damage, foundation issues, soil erosion, roof leaks, fascia and soffit damage, and other problems.

2. When gutters are clogged, the rainwater runoff over the gutters can cause soil erosion around the foundation of the home and contribute to potential foundation and waterproofing problems.

3. Standard gutters that have no gutter cover system installed can sag or pull away from the roof due to the weight from clogs and debris buildup.

4. Don’t wait until you have overflowing gutters or water intrusion to have your gutters replaced or repaired or to have gutter covers installed. This can lead to expensive repairs, most notably wood rot repair, house foundation issues, and possible termite damage.

5. Gutters come in different shapes and sizes. K-style is the most common gutter shape, and box gutters and half-round gutters are also available. Typically, gutters come in five- and six-inch sizes.

Top 5 Tips for Consumers: 1. Before reaching out to a handyman company, outline the details of your project, including what you want done and when it needs to be completed. Providing this information to the handyman company will help them create a more accurate estimate.

2. Ask handyman companies how their jobs are priced.

Some handyman contractors charge jobs per hour, and some will quote a flat per-project price.

3. Discuss the materials needed to complete the work and make sure you know who is responsible for providing these materials. If the handyman contractor provides them for you, there may be an additional pick-up fee.

4. Are you planning to sell your house soon? Before you put your house on the market, a handyman company can likely take care of small updates recommended by your real estate agent.

Licensing Requirements: The state of Texas does not issue or require a trade license for companies in this service category.

Common Services & Products Provided: • Fiberglass insulation • Batt insulation • Blown-in insulation • Spray foam insulation • Attic insulation • Radiant barriers • Crawl space insulation • Air flow balancing • Duct and air leak sealing • Energy audits

Top 5 Tips for Consumers: 1. High utility bills are one sign that your home may be poorly insulated. If air is escaping through openings, your HVAC system will work harder to heat and cool your home, shortening the system’s lifespan and increasing energy usage. Uneven temperatures inside your home can be another sign of poor insulation.

2. If you notice increased or unusual levels of dust in your home, this may be another sign of inadequate insulation. Poorly insulated homes can let too much air flow in and out, which can lead to more dust inside.

3. Over time, blown-in attic insulation tends to settle. If your home is five to ten years old or older, you may consider adding another six inches or so of R-value to your attic. This may reduce heat gain in the summer and heat loss in the winter, thereby reducing energy bills.

4. Fiberglass is the most widely used home insulator and is also used to reduce noise transfer from room to room.

5. The higher the R-value of an insulating material, the better its insulating properties.

5 Reasons to Hire a Five Star Rated Member: 1. We review dozens of companies in each market with our thorough vetting process.

2. Only the best of the best are allowed to become Five Star Rated, and guidebook inclusion is limited to five members per category.

Top 5 Tips for Consumers: 1. Landscaping projects typically follow this order: The landscaping plan is approved by you and your HOA, if needed; any necessary permits are acquired; and a utility search of the area is performed. Then, existing landscaped areas are removed, hardscaping and trees are installed, drainage and soil work takes place, irrigation is installed, shrubs and small plants are added, and sod and landscape lighting are installed last.

2. Drainage is crucial for any landscaping project.

Drainage solutions include grading, French drains, dry wells, catch basins, swales, rain gardens, downspouts, rain barrels, and more.

3. Your professional landscaper can create a custom landscaping plan for your family, lifestyle, and budget.

How you want to use your yard will determine the features included in the plan.

4. Work with your landscaping company to get to a fully detailed design before construction starts.

Top 5 Tips for Consumers: 1. Plan your outdoor living and entertaining space as part of a single functional plan. Dining, lounging, cooking, and pool areas often coexist. Think of these as outdoor rooms and consider the flow of traffic between them as part of the design.

2. Consider how you want to use your outdoor living space. Will it be an extension of your daily life or an entertainment space for hosting gatherings? Does the space need to be kid- or pet-friendly?

3. Consider the relationship between the indoor and outdoor kitchen. How self-sufficient do you want the outdoor kitchen to be? How could the spaces be used together? What is the traffic pattern between them?

The location of an outdoor kitchen can greatly affect the installation or placement of the gas, water, and electrical supply lines.

4. Extend the outdoor entertaining season and the usability of your outdoor living space with heaters, shade, and rain shelter.

5. Consider the style and color of your home when designing your outdoor living space. An experienced outdoor living contractor can help you choose design elements that coordinate well.

Common Services & Products Provided: • Interior and exterior painting • Color consultations • Carpentry and wood repair • Drywall repair • Cabinet painting • Faux and decorative finishes • Wallpaper installation and removal • Popcorn ceiling removal • Garage floor painting • Fence and deck painting and staining

Top 5 Tips for Consumers: 1. Make sure the job will include the proper prep work.

Good prep work will result in a longer-lasting paint job. Primer and paint should be applied to clean, smooth surfaces.

2. Make sure that the estimates you consider are in writing and include the same scope of work and materials so you can compare apples to apples.

Check the quality of the paint included in the estimate and the number of coats proposed.

3. Choose a paint sheen that fits the space being painted. Shinier paint finishes have more durability and are easy to clean. High gloss is suitable for kitchens, window trim, and doors. Semi-gloss finishes are good for kitchens, trim, and bathrooms.

Eggshell works well in dining and living spaces, and matte finishes are suitable for low-traffic areas such as bedrooms.

4. If you are not sure what color or colors you want to use, ask for a color consultation. Your painting contractor will be able to help you choose a color or color scheme that suits your home decor.

5. Quality is key. Cheaper paints require more coats to get the same result as higher-quality paints.

Common Services & Products Provided: • Pest control services • Pest removal • Pest exclusion services and repairs • Scheduled pest treatments • Termite protection • Mosquito control services • Eco-friendly options • Disinfectant services • Whole-house fumigation services

Top 5 Tips for Consumers: 1. Pest removal can be dangerous, especially if you’re dealing with stinging insects or live animals. Always call a professional to handle the issue. Be sure to find out what pests the company handles.

2. To avoid attracting pests indoors, do not let food, drinks, or pet food to sit out overnight. Also be sure to clear debris and piles of lumber from your yard, since these provide refuge for pests such as cockroaches.

3. Not all pest control strategies involve chemicals; traps, repairs, and natural pesticides are options used by many pest control companies.

4. Ask the pest control company what methods are used to remove or control pest issues and if they use ecofriendly or pet- and child-safe pest control products.

5. Once the pests have been removed, it is important to seal the entry points they used so more pests do not enter the home. Your pest control technician should perform an inspection to determine the pest’s point of entry, identify other potential points of entry, and recommend methods to prevent re-entry of other unwanted pests in the future.

Common Services & Products Provided: • General plumbing installation, replacement, maintenance, and repairs • Plumbing remodeling services • Water heaters • Toilets, faucets, and fixtures • Garbage disposals • Drain cleaning • Water and sewer line repair and replacement • Septic services • Sump pumps

Top 5 Tips for Consumers: 1. Locate your main water shutoff valve to the whole house. This is helpful to know so you can turn off the water supply completely in case of emergency situations such as in-home flooding or a major leak.

2. Use cold water when the garbage disposal is operating. You can clean your disposal by grinding ice cubes. When your disposal needs a little freshening, grind some lemon peels in it.

3. Many types of clogs can be avoided by using common sense. Do not pour grease down the kitchen sink, and do not wash coffee grounds down the sink.

Use chemical cleaners only when necessary. Do not flush larger items such as feminine hygiene products down the toilet.

4. Thousands of people are scalded by tap water every year. The Gas Appliance Manufacturers Association recommends that the highest hot water temperature at the faucet be set between 120 and 125 degrees Fahrenheit.

5. When it’s time to upgrade to new plumbing fixtures, look for ENERGY STAR-certified products that conserve water and energy consumption.

Common Services & Products Provided: • Swimming pool design and construction • Existing pool renovation • Pool deck and coping remodeling and resurfacing • Pool enclosures • Pool equipment installation • Repair services for filters, pumps, motors, heaters, and automation systems • Spa additions • Hot tub installation • Outdoor living space design and construction

Top 5 Tips for Consumers: 1. There are many design options for swimming pools.

Do some research to determine your preferences, and ask to see project portfolios from pool design and build contractors you are considering.

2. Consider how you want to use your new or remodeled pool. A renovation is a great time to add a sun shelf, hot tub, or other feature.

3. Communicate often with your pool builder during your project. If you have any questions or concerns, communicate them. It is better to handle issues while materials, tools, and labor are readily available, and it could give you the end result you desire with less cost involved.

4. Pool construction and remodeling projects take time.

Discuss the timeline with your contractor and plan accordingly. Don’t schedule backyard events until after the project is complete.

5. Remodeling involves draining the pool, chipping out the pool’s surface and priming it, applying tile, plastering and pebbling the surface, and refilling the pool. Once the pool is refilled, the chemical startup can begin.

3. Ask what types of warranties are offered on workmanship and materials, and get warranty information in writing. Specific products used in the project may carry different warranties.

Top 5 Tips for Consumers: 1. Damage from a storm, flood, or burst pipes can be dangerous and cause mold growth or structural damage. Address the problem immediately to avoid further complications. If you delay fixing the problem, insurance companies could consider this owner neglect and deny your claim.

2. It takes about three to five full days for a structure to dry, using the proper equipment. Although the affected area may seem dry, there is often hidden moisture that should be resolved before any restoration work begins.

3. Smoke damage leaves behind soot and odor. Soot must be thoroughly cleaned before a house is suitable for occupation. Odor may not be noticed until homeowners have moved back into the home.

4. Obtain a detailed written work proposal, including estimated time frames, as homeowners often have to make alternative living arrangements until the work is completed.

5. Professional restoration companies can advise homeowners on which damaged items and personal belongings can be safely restored and which items are beyond repair.

5 Reasons to Hire a Five Star Rated Member: 1. We review dozens of companies in each market with our thorough vetting process.

2. Only the best of the best are allowed to become Five Star Rated, and guidebook inclusion is limited to five members per category.

3. Companies cannot buy their way into the guidebooks; Five Star Rated is invite-only.

4. All Five Star Rated companies must carry general liability insurance as well as workers’ compensation insurance when required by their state.

Common Services & Products Provided: • Roof installation and replacement • Roof repair and maintenance • Fascia and soffit repair • Roof inspections • Storm damage assessments • Asphalt shingle roofs • Metal roofs • Tile roofs • Flat roofs

Top 5 Tips for Consumers: 1. Hire a roofing installation and repair company that uses high-quality materials from name-brand manufacturers that provide extended warranties on their products.

2. Weather is a factor when replacing your roof. Ask the contractor to explain their procedure if stormy weather were to approach in the middle of the removal or installation of your roof.

3. Roof ventilation is critical. Without proper roof ventilation, hot air will become trapped in your attic and cause your HVAC system to work overtime.

Roof replacement is the perfect time to improve inadequate ventilation.

4. Most roof leaks are caused by flashing that has failed or been improperly installed around chimneys, vent pipes, and skylights.

5. To protect your roof, try to minimize roof traffic.

Sometimes other contractors may damage roofs while working on them. For example, do not allow a cleaning contractor to use any type of bracing on pitched roofs where they might nail into your roof, therefore compromising your roof with a puncture through the protective roofing barrier.

5 Reasons to Hire a Five Star Rated Member: 1. We review dozens of companies in each market with our thorough vetting process.

2. Only the best of the best are allowed to become Five Star Rated, and guidebook inclusion is limited to five members per category.

3. Companies cannot buy their way into the guidebooks; Five Star Rated is invite-only.

Common Services & Products Provided: • Sewer and drain cleaning • Clog removal • Rodding • Hydro-jetting • Water line repair and replacement • Sewer line repair and replacement • Trenchless sewer line repair • Video camera inspections • Root removal • Repiping

Top 5 Tips for Consumers: 1. Clogs are typically caused by food, hair, foreign objects, and grease. To avoid clogs, consider using strainers over your drains. Do not dispose of grease in drains. Additionally, so-called flushable wipes should not be flushed down the toilet.

2. Hard water can cause buildup that clogs and corrodes your plumbing system. If your area has hard water, install a water softener system.

3. While chemical drain cleaners can effectively remove clogs, they can also damage pipes. Try using a drain snake or other alternative drain cleaning methods first, and if the problem persists, call a professional.

4. If your sinks are draining very slowly or gurgling noises are coming from your toilets, call a drain and sewer cleaning professional. These are potential signs of a sewer system problem.

5. If you own an older home built before the 1960s and 1970s, you may have sewer pipes made of clay tile.

Clay-tile pipes are susceptible to tree root intrusion, and their lifespan is less than 50 years. Sewer pipes in homes constructed more recently are usually made of PVC.

Top 5 Tips for Consumers: 1. Signs that you need to replace your siding include warped planks, rotten areas, holes, bubbling paint, and persistent mold or mildew growth.

2. Before contacting a contractor to discuss your siding job, think about what type of siding product you would like for your home. For inspiration, look at the types and styles of siding traditionally used in your neighborhood or city. You can also visit home centers and look through the siding materials on display.

3. Find out if your homeowners’ association has restrictions on siding materials, styles, and colors. The homeowners’ association may also have guidelines about remodeling projects that you and the contractor will need to follow.

4. Hire a siding company that uses high-quality materials from name-brand manufacturers with extended warranties.

5. Siding installation involves hammering and nailing and can be a little disruptive. Before your siding project begins, take down art and wall hangings from interior walls and move furniture away from the walls.

Licensing Requirements: Companies are required to hold a Master Plumber License issued by the Texas State Board of Plumbing Examiners.

Common Services & Products Provided: • Whole-home water filtration system installation and maintenance • Point-of-entry systems • Point-of-use systems • Water softening and conditioning systems • Well water treatment • Salt-free systems • UV systems • Repiping services

Top 5 Tips for Consumers: 1. Before investing in a whole-house water treatment or filtration system, your water should first be tested.

The quantity and the quality of the sediment in your water supply should be considered when purchasing a whole-home water filter system.

2. The life of the filter is determined by the amount of water that it can filter before being replaced. The longevity of the filter is also affected by the state of water you plan to filter.

3. If water pressure is reduced, you may have waited too long between filter changes. Keep records of filter changes so you can maintain a regular replacement schedule.

4. Depending on the size of your family, the number of water dispensers, and the flow rate of each dispenser, a professional can help you calculate the right flow rate that your filter system should have.

5. A whole-home water filtration system with a flow rate lower than the required rate would mean interrupted water flow and low water pressure, especially during peak use.

Common Services & Products Provided: • Animal control services • Wildlife removal • Wildlife management • Exclusion services and repairs • Removal and control of birds, rats, squirrels, snakes, bats, opossums, raccoons, skunks, coyotes, foxes, gophers, and more • Dead animal removal • Space deodorization • Insulation removal and replacement • General pest control

Top 5 Tips for Consumers: 1. Wildlife removal can be dangerous, so don’t try to take care of the problem by yourself. Always call a professional to handle the issue. They have the knowledge, equipment, and protective gear to do the job safely.

2. Be sure to find out what animals the company handles and ask if they provide emergency animal removal service.

3. Not all wildlife removal and pest control strategies involve chemicals; traps, exclusion repairs, and natural pesticides are more humane options used by many animal control companies.

4. Ask the wildlife control company what methods are used to remove or control animal issues and if they use eco-friendly or pet- and child-safe products.

5. Once the animal has been removed, it is important to seal the entry points they used so more pests do not enter the home. These exclusion repairs are essential to resolving the problem. Your technician should perform an inspection to determine the pest’s point of entry, identify other potential points of entry, and recommend methods to prevent re-entry of other unwanted pests in the future.

5 Reasons to Hire a Five Star Rated Member: 1. We review dozens of companies in each market with our thorough vetting process.

2. Only the best of the best are allowed to become Five Star Rated, and guidebook inclusion is limited to five members per category.

Top 5 Tips for Consumers: 1. If you have a limited budget, consider replacing the windows on your upper floors first.

2. Ask your contractor about the differences between wood, vinyl, or aluminum cladding for your windows and doors.

Common Services & Products Provided: • Door installation and replacement • Window installation and replacement • Energy-efficient windows and doors • Impact or storm windows and doors • Vinyl, fiberglass, steel, aluminum, wood, and engineered wood windows • Sliding glass, patio, and French doors • Entryway and interior doors • Wood, insulated steel, and fiberglass doors

3. Adding weather stripping around windows and doors has a big impact on drafts and energy conservation.

Caulking door thresholds and windows and adding plastic window film can save you money in the winter.

4. Windows and doors are the areas of greatest energy loss in a home. By installing new windows and doors, it may be possible to increase energy efficiency in your home by up to 70 percent. Ask your contractor which manufacturers and/or brands they recommend and why.

5. A small deposit is reasonable for custom-order materials, such as custom-sized windows, as they will only work in each individual home and ensures a commitment to the contractor that you will complete the project and that the contractor will not be left with a warehouse full of custom materials.

5 Reasons to Hire a Five Star Rated Member: 1. We review dozens of companies in each market with our thorough vetting process.

2. Only the best of the best are allowed to become Five Star Rated, and guidebook inclusion is limited to five members per category.

Texas Energy Concepts Company Commentary “Texas Energy Concepts is a company that was formed with the homeowner in mind. I have a lifetime of experience in home improvements and have been installing windows since 2003.

Our philosophy is not to be the biggest, but to be the best! We don’t hide behind private-label products, so the customer always knows the exact make and model of the window they are getting.

This allows the homeowner to feel confident that the windows installed in their home are of the very best quality. This is why 85% of our customers are direct referrals. Being a referral-based company means less advertising costs, which translates to less overhead and bigger savings for our customers. I am not a salesman trying to get a commission today; I am an owner who is trying to become your home improvement company for life. “
