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.

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.

2. Interior drainage solutions can address water in a basement or crawlspace. While these systems remove water, they do not correct the underlying causes of water entry. It is important to locate the source of the leak and resolve that issue as well.

3. The goal of outdoor drainage solutions is to remove water before it leads to saturated soil, which leads to water entry. Typically, the correction of exterior drainage concerns should resolve interior moisture issues. However, it may take months for the subsurface soil to dry out.

4. Since drainage solutions often involve trenching or changing the grade of the yard, it is important to make sure your utilities are properly located and marked.

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.

Licensing Requirements: Companies are required to hold a Contractor License issued by the Florida Department of Business & Professional Regulation.

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.

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. 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 Florida does not issue or require a trade license for companies in this service category.

Counties and cities in Florida may require local licensing for specialty work.

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, and other problems.

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

3. 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. 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.

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. 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.

Talk to your contractor about options that will fit your budget.

3. Depending on the work being done, your kitchen may be unusable at times. Plan ahead and set up a temporary food station in a different room. A microwave, coffee maker, and mini fridge can make it easier to get by for a few days.

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.

Licensing Requirements: Companies are required to hold a Pest Control Company License issued by the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services.

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 clear debris and piles of lumber from your yard, since these provide refuge for pests.

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, 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.

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: • Water damage restoration • Water extraction • Structural drying • Mold remediation • Smoke damage restoration • Fire damage restoration • Carpet removal and cleaning • Odor removal • Reconstruction services • Contents pack-out

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.

Licensing Requirements: Companies are required to hold a Roofing Contractor License issued by the Florida Department of Business & Professional Regulation.

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.

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

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.

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

Counties and cities in Florida may require local licensing for specialty work.

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.

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.

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.

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

Counties and cities in Florida may require local licensing for specialty work.

Common Services & Products Provided: • Window cleaning • Gutter cleaning • Downspout cleaning • Pressure washing • House washing • Deck cleaning • Driveway cleaning • Patio cleaning • Low-pressure roof cleaning

Top 5 Tips for Consumers: 1. When gutters are clogged, the rainwater runoff can cause soil erosion around the home’s foundation and contribute to potential foundation and waterproofing problems.

2. When selecting a contractor for window cleaning, power washing, or gutter cleaning, ask about cleaning solution options. You may want to request an ecofriendly option since it will end up in and around your plants and landscaping.

3. Ask the contractor about the amount of pressure that will be used for your pressure washing job. Too much pressure can harm your siding, concrete, windows, fascia, or roofing.

4. Conduct a walk-through of your window cleaning job prior to the professional getting started. They may spot easy-to-miss basement windows or top-floor nooks that may have been omitted from the estimate.

5. For traditionally seasonal businesses like window cleaning, gutter cleaning, and pressure washing, consider scheduling your services anytime but the busiest times of year, when the company’s capacity is not maxed out.

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.

How to Pick A Great Home Services Provider

Regular maintenance is a reality of home ownership. And while you might be able to handle some things on your own, other tasks are best left to the pros. But finding reliable help when you need it is easier said than done.

Check out our simple tips for finding the best service professional for any home-related need.

Ask for recommendations.

The easiest way to start is to ask neighbors, family members, and friends for their recommendations. Word-of-mouth recommendations speak volumes about a company’s work and reputation. After all, you’re hearing from people with first-hand experience!

Search social media.

Social media sites shouldn’t be your only source of information when it comes to finding a good contractor, but they can be a valuable resource.

Search for the companies on your list and check their social media feeds for customer testimonials. You might also find photographs of the company’s workmanship.

Research your choices.

Look online for the following about each contractor on your list: • • •

Qualifications Certifications Licenses and bonding

• • •

Insurance Areas of specialization Professionalism

•

Assurance & guarantees

Most of this information is available online, usually on the company’s website. For details you can’t immediately locate, a quick phone call can usually help fill in any gaps.

Use a verified directory and online reviews.

Look for unbiased customer reviews in independent business directories like Five Star Rated.

Online home improvement forums and review websites are helpful, too.

Avoid sites that let companies buy highly rated reviews. This practice is unethical, but it does happen. Watch for several extremely positive reviews posted on the same day following a negative review. Lots of good reviews that sound similar are also a red flag.

Doing all of this takes time, but when you’re planning a home improvement project, it’s well worth it. But if you’re in a time crunch, a trusted company directory like Five Star Rated is priceless.

With a verified company directory, you have all the information you need to make an informed decision at a glance: the company’s contact information, the services they offer, and testimonials from verified customers.

53

Seasonal Maintenance Tips

Spring Turn your outside spigots back on and remove their insulating covers. Check each spigot to make sure it’s secure and doesn’t leak, and give your garden hose a once-over to check for cracks.

Have your gutters cleaned. Make sure downspouts are still attached and directed away from your house and foundation.

Schedule a routine HVAC maintenance appointment. Clear away any debris from around the outside condenser unit. Also test your smoke and carbon monoxide detectors and replace their batteries.

Have your lawn service aerate your yard and spread pre-emergent for weed control. Now is the time to prune trees, shrubs, and bushes.

Inspect the outside of your house for siding cracks or holes, peeling paint, and failing sealant or caulk. Repair and replace as needed.

Summer Water your lawn and landscaping regularly. Aim for early-morning hours to minimize water evaporation in the heat.

Stain and seal your wood fence and deck. Be sure to pressure wash them first so the stain will last longer and look nicer over time.

Set your ceiling fans to turn counterclockwise. This creates a breezy downdraft, which can help you use the air conditioning less.

Never Miss Important Home Maintenance Again!

54

Seasonal Maintenance Tips

Fall Fall is the time to overseed your lawn and plant perennials. Your work now will have a big payoff come springtime.

Get in the habit of raking leaves (or mowing over them with your lawnmower) periodically so they don’t build up and smother the grass.

Have the gutters cleaned in late fall, after the bulk of the leaves have fallen.

Fall is also a good time to have your roof inspected.

Schedule your second annual HVAC system maintenance appointment. Your technician should ensure the heat works and that all components are in safe working order.

If you’ve noticed drafts coming from the windows or doors, seal any gaps with caulk or weatherstripping. This will cut down on heat loss through the winter.

Winter Drain your outdoor water spigots, and then shut off the water to them. Cover the faucets with insulating covers. Drain your garden hose and store it indoors.

Test all your smoke and carbon monoxide detectors and replace their batteries.

Make sure you’re ready for snow and cold temperatures. Test your snow blower and dig out the snow shovel.
