The Trusted Standard For Hiring Home Services Companies Getting referrals from neighbors is helpful, but a limited number of referrals doesn’t tell the whole story. Online reviews can be skewed by vocal minorities or purchased ratings. That’s why we go further. We analyze three years of customer surveys and online reviews in addition to verifying each company’s financial standing, state-required licensing, and insurance. Companies can’t buy their way into our guide; the only way they earn the Certified Best Pick® designation is through consistently satisfied customers and stellar reputations. When you call a Best Pick company, you’re calling someone we’ve thoroughly researched and stand behind.

Educational Content COMMON HVAC SERVICES • Air conditioning and heating services • Equipment repair and replacement • System troubleshooting • Maintenance agreements • Refrigerant recharging or refilling • HVAC system and equipment installation • Thermostat installation, replacement, and troubleshooting • Humidifier and dehumidifier installation TOP CONSUMER TIPS • Make regular preventive maintenance easy by asking your HVAC company if they offer maintenance programs. These plans usually include two maintenance appointments per year plus perks like reduced or waived dispatch fees. • The right HVAC system size is key to efficiency. A too-small system won’t do a good job controlling

the temperature of the house. A system that is too large will cycle on and off frequently. Your contractor should use the Manual J formula to make sure your HVAC system is the right size. • Programmable or Wi-Fi-enabled thermostats can help you save money on your energy bill by automatically adjusting the temperature to use less energy while the house is empty. • New HVAC equipment will likely carry a manufacturers’ warranty. Ask if your service provider honors these warranties or whether you will need to contact the manufacturer directly in the event of a problem. • If your HVAC system is running well but you’d like to increase your home’s efficiency, look into duct sealing. Sealing the ducts can lower energy costs and boost air circulation.

TRADE LICENSE INFORMATION Companies providing forced-air HVAC services are required to hold a Master HVACR contractor license issued by the State Board of Examiners of Heating, Ventilating, Air Conditioning, and Refrigeration Contractors. Companies providing water-based heating services are required to hold a Master Plumber License issued by the State Board of Examiners of Master Plumbers.

Appliance Repair Best Pick Reports recommends: ■ UltraFix Appliance Repair

856-636-4421

2nd year as a Best Pick

Educational Content COMMON APPLIANCE REPAIR SERVICES • 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 CONSUMER TIPS • Make sure your food stays at a safe temperature. Keep your refrigerator temperature set between 35 to 37 degrees Fahrenheit. The freezer temperature should be set to 0 degrees Fahrenheit. Try to keep your freezer stocked to increase its efficiency. If you have an ice maker or in-unit water, stay on top of regular water filter changes. Most refrigerators have a reminder light to help you remember. • Hot water is essential for clean and dry dishes. Low water temperatures can be one reason dishes are not getting completely clean. Check that your water heater is set to the right temperature. The ideal temperature is between 120 and 140 degrees Fahrenheit. For safety reasons, don’t set the temperature to below 120 or above 140. When you load the dishwasher, make sure nothing blocks the spray arm.

• If you use your garbage disposal, turn on cold water 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, better yet, throw it in the trash or compost. • The high heat from an oven’s self-cleaning cycle is dangerous and can cause important oven parts to burn out, so try to avoid using that feature. Though it is a far more manual process, cleaning your oven by hand is much safer. • Rubber-backed mats can cause unbalanced washing machine loads. The rubber backing can also break down and separate, clogging hoses, pumps, filters, and valves. If possible, wash these types of items by hand in a tub or laundry sink. • Avoid running loose change, pocket knives, and other metal items through the wash. They can damage the washing machine’s internal components and pump system. Washing machine hoses can deteriorate over time. Avoid a surprise leak by replacing your washer hose approximately every five years. If you leave town for an extended period of time, shut off the water to your washing machine so you don’t have to worry about leaks.

Basement Remodeling Best Pick Reports recommends: ■ Quality 1st Basement Systems

856-226-0840

1st year as a Best Pick

Educational Content COMMON BASEMENT REMODELING SERVICES • Basement remodeling and renovation • Design/build services • General contractor services TOP CONSUMER TIPS • The basement must be dry before remodeling begins. Your contractor might use a moisture meter to make absolutely sure that the space is dry and ready for construction. Even small amounts of water can damage carpets and furniture or cause mold or mildew growth. If you have had moisture problems in the basement in the past, have those issues addressed before the remodeling work starts. • Remodeling work can last from several days to several months, depending on the complexity of the project. Your contractor may move some larger items for you. You will be responsible for packing up any small things that could get in the way or be damaged. If your project involves removing existing cabinetry or built-in storage, empty those spaces before any work begins. • The wrong lighting makes a basement feel small and dark. Canister or recessed lighting is popular for basements because it does not take up headroom. Downlighting points the eye away from the ceiling, making the room seem taller.

Track lighting illuminates a basement without a low-hanging light. • Your existing HVAC system might be able to meet the requirements of the new space, but if it isn’t large enough, you will need a dedicated HVAC unit for the basement. Depending on the size of your basement, a mini-split or heat pump system might be good options. • I-beams and other support structures might not look great in your new space, but they usually can’t be removed (or moved at all). Instead, talk to your contractor about creative ways to hide them. I-beams and other supports can often be disguised with architectural elements or hidden in walls. • Electrical panels, ducts, pipes, and wires still need to be accessible once the space is finished. A drop ceiling is a functional way to do this, but not everyone loves that look. If you opt for a drywalled ceiling, work with your contractor to design access points for important utilities. • Your contractor and the crews working in your house will do their best to keep the area safe. Keep a close eye on your kids and pets. Don’t let them wander down to the basement to explore. These precautions help keep everyone safe.

Carpet, Upholstery & Rug Cleaning Best Pick Reports recommends: ■ Fiber Clean

856-393-1820

6th year as a Best Pick

Educational Content COMMON CARPET, UPHOLSTERY & RUG CLEANING SERVICES • Carpet cleaning • Upholstery cleaning • Rug cleaning • Carpet repair • Stain removal • Odor removal and control • Fabric and fiber protection • Drapery cleaning and freshening • Hard-surface floor cleaning, buffing, and sealing TOP CONSUMER TIPS • Carpet cleaning frequency depends on several factors, including whether you have pets and how much foot traffic your carpet gets. In most cases, a professional carpet cleaning at least every nine to twelve months is a good idea. • To keep your carpets clean between professional cleanings, use a vacuum cleaner with a HEPA filter, place mats at your home’s entrances, and regularly change your HVAC filter so less dust circulates and settles in carpets. Also encourage family members and visitors to remove their shoes indoors. • Pet accidents are most effectively cleaned by a professional carpet and upholstery cleaning company. As a short-term fix, you can use a

mixture of one part white vinegar to two parts water. Lightly spray the stain with the mixture and use a white colorfast towel to blot the area, being careful not to rub, as this can push the stain deeper into the fibers. Continue the process until the smell and stain are reduced. This works best on fresh stains. Once a stain dries or soaks into the carpet padding and subfloor, it is much more difficult to remove. • Make sure to mention all problem spots and stains you want cleaned so the contractor can both prepare appropriately and provide you with an accurate estimate. Some stains, especially old stains, require pretreatment to fully remove them. Doing a thorough walkthrough at the start of the job also helps avoid surprises regarding the cost at the end of the service. • Prices that seem too good to be true usually are. Always read the fine print. Other deals will stretch the definition of carpet cleaning. A technician who rushes through the job may leave behind embedded dirt, stains, or excess moisture, which can lead to mold or faster re-soiling. • In addition to routine carpet cleaning, consider optional treatments like stain protectors or deodorizing agents, which can help your carpets stay fresh for longer.

Educational Content COMMON CONCRETE LEVELING & RAISING SERVICES • Concrete leveling and raising for driveways, sidewalks, walkways, patios, steps, and foundations • Polyurethane foam lifting • Slabjacking • Mudjacking • Foundation stabilization and repair • Piering • Waterproofing and drainage systems TOP CONSUMER TIPS • Signs of sunken concrete issues include uneven concrete steps or sidewalks; cracked, bumpy, and uneven driveways or patios; cracking and sinking sections of slabs; soil erosion under concrete slabs; and repeated cracking of concrete slabs. • The process for raising concrete is fairly straightforward. First, the crew drills holes into the concrete slab. Then, they pump a mortarbased material or polyurethane foam into the voids underneath the slab. As the voids are filled, the concrete slab rises until it’s level with the surrounding surface. The crew uses a concrete mixture to patch the drill holes and complete the process. Polyurethane foam materials typically

cure faster and require smaller injection holes than mortar-based materials. • Once the repair work is done, stay on top of maintenance so the problem doesn’t happen again. Have your gutters cleaned at least twice per year. Make sure that your home has an adequate number of downspouts. The downspouts also need to be long enough to carry water away from your house, patio, or walkway. If you have recurring erosion issues around concrete slabs, your yard might need to be regraded. Having a drainage system installed can also help. Contact a drainage specialist for advice. • If you have more concrete work done in the future, ask the contractor how they plan to prep the ground. The ground beneath concrete is made up of different layers of soil. Each of these layers has its own properties, like density and moisture content. When these layers settle over the years, the concrete slabs above them can settle and crack. Before a concrete slab is poured, the supporting soil must be compacted to prevent washout and erosion. This should be done with a mechanical tamping machine for best results.

Educational Content COMMON CRAWL SPACE ENCAPSULATION & REPAIR SERVICES • Crawl space moisture and humidity management • Crawl space insulation • Crawl space encapsulation • Structural repair for crawl spaces and basements • Basement waterproofing services • Basement moisture and humidity management TOP CONSUMER TIPS • Crawl spaces are vulnerable to many of the same problems as house foundations. Because crawl spaces are under the house, pest infestations are common, as is mold and mildew growth. • Crawl spaces are usually connected to a home’s foundation. This location is part of what makes crawl space moisture problems so concerning. Wood is more prone to rotting in damp spaces, so a damp crawl space can cause the floor joists of the house to rot. Common signs of deteriorating floor joists are sagging, creaking, or bouncy spots on the floor over the crawl space. • Concrete columns or jacks work well to raise and stabilize sagging floors. Jacks can be adjusted as needed, to ensure ongoing support. If the floor joists are no longer structurally sound, they

might need to be strengthened by adding a beam to an existing joist in a process called “sistering.” Removing a compromised joist altogether can create other structural problems. Sistering in another beam instead creates the structural support the compromised joist needs without putting the entire structure at risk. • Once any moisture and structural issues are resolved, the crawl space can be encapsulated. This involves covering the floor and walls with a heavy plastic vapor barrier. The crew will seal off all vents and other areas where outside air could get in. Finally, the crew will install either a dehumidifier or crawl space vent fan. Even though the space is sealed, the air can still get quite humid. A dehumidifier pulls moisture out of the air in the crawl space. A vent fan brings conditioned air from your home’s HVAC system into the crawl space to combat humidity. • Depending on the size and layout of your crawl space, you might be able to use it for storage once the encapsulation process is finished. It’s a good idea to check on the crawl space periodically to ensure the moisture management system is still working as designed.

Dryer Vent Cleaning Best Pick Reports recommends: ■ Ned's Dryer Vent Cleaning, a division of Ned's Home 1st year as a Best Pick

856-388-2527

Educational Content COMMON DRYER VENT CLEANING SERVICES • Dryer vent cleaning • Dryer vent inspection and repair • Duct cleaning, sanitization, and sealing • Duct leakage testing and repair TOP CONSUMER TIPS • The National Fire Protection Association reports that dryers caused almost 14,000 house fires per year between 2014 and 2018. About onethird of the fires were caused by lint buildup in the dryer vent. The duct that runs from the dryer to the outside of your house is out of sight, which makes it difficult to know if it needs to be cleaned. • Be mindful of signs that your dryer vent is clogged. Are clothes taking longer than normal to dry? Is the dryer extremely hot at the end of a cycle? Do your clothes smell singed or burned? Do you notice a burning odor in your laundry room? These are all signs that something is restricting airflow in the dryer vent. • A dryer that gets too hot or gives off a burning odor over the course of a cycle is overheating. This is dangerous, so don’t use the dryer until it has been cleaned and inspected by a professional. Lint is very flammable, and the heat from an overheated dryer can ignite it.

• It’s a good idea to have your dryer vent professionally cleaned once or twice per year. In the meantime, always clean the dryer’s lint filter before and after every load of laundry. Make sure the dryer has plenty of space around it for airflow. Check the dryer vent exhaust on the outside of your house for signs of a blockage. You might see lint particles on the ground, for instance. Bird feathers, droppings, and nesting materials around the vent or on the ground beneath it are signs that birds might have taken up residence in the vent. • During a typical service visit, the technician will inspect and clean the dryer vent. They will also clean the lint trap and booster fan, if needed. Some dryer vent cleaning companies also offer mechanical inspections of the vent system. Some provide repair and installation services. • Any blockage in a dryer vent poses an increased fire hazard. This is because lint particles are flammable when they accumulate. Dryer vents are often made from flexible foil or plastic material that can kink or sag. These bends and creases in the duct line collect flammable lint, which adds to the airflow problem. A sagging duct can also collect condensation and leak or foster a mold problem. If you have a flexible dryer vent, replace it with a rigid version.

Educational Content COMMON DUCT CLEANING SERVICES • Duct cleaning • Duct sanitization • Duct leakage testing and repairs • Duct sealing, insulation, and replacement • Indoor air quality solutions • Dryer vent cleaning and repair • HVAC system component cleaning • Filtration evaluation and upgrades TOP CONSUMER TIPS • 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. Check your ductwork periodically for particulate buildup, especially if anyone in the home has asthma or allergies. • Home remodeling projects can produce a lot of dust and debris, so schedule duct cleaning after a home renovation project. Everyday activities bring dust into the house, too, whether you’re opening the front door or turning on the air conditioning. Other factors, like pet hair, cigarette smoke, and water damage, can all cause more rapid buildup of dust and dirt in the ductwork. • Duct cleaning involves cleaning your home’s ductwork as well as your entire HVAC system. This includes the supply and return ducts and

registers, grills and diffusers, heat exchangers, heating and cooling coils, condensate drain pans, fan motor and housing, and the air handler unit housing. • If your heating and cooling bills rose significantly compared to the same time last year, your air ducts could be leaking. Duct sealing can fix this problem. Having the ductwork sealed can also improve air circulation in your house. • 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 ensure it doesn’t return. Some duct cleaning contractors are licensed in mold removal and can take care of any mold they find. If yours isn’t or if the mold problem is extensive, you may need to hire a professional mold removal and remediation contractor. • Beware of duct cleaners who only use ordinary household tools. Household vacuum cleaners and residential-use air compressor guns won’t get good results. In fact, these types of tools will likely just scatter dust and debris from the ducts all over your house. Check that the company’s methods meet industry standards. The National Air Duct Cleaners Association (NADCA) is a great resource for current industry information.

Educational Content COMMON ELECTRICAL SERVICES • Electrical equipment installation, replacement, and repair • Troubleshooting • Maintenance • Whole-house surge protection • Outlet, switch, and fan installation • Lighting installation • Electrical panel replacements and upgrades • Safety inspections TOP CONSUMER TIPS • Electrical work requires specialized knowledge and tools to avoid injury to yourself or damage to your home. Professional electricians will ensure that their work is done safely and to code. • If your home is older and hasn’t been recently updated, have an electrician do a safety inspection. The electrical system may not be properly grounded, for instance, or you may need a larger main panel to avoid overloaded circuits. While these issues might not impact your daily life, they do present safety hazards that need to be addressed. • If breakers trip frequently, outlets around the house emit a burning odor or make strange

noises, or light fixtures flicker at random, call an electrician to take a look for underlying issues. • The US Fire Administration recommends testing your smoke detectors once a month, replacing the batteries at least once a year, and replacing smoke detector units every ten years or when they no longer function when tested. For the best protection, have an electrician install hardwired smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors with battery backups. • A surge protector can help prevent damage to electronics from power surges. Surge protectors control the amount of power to an electrical device by diverting excess electricity through a grounding wire. If you opt for a whole-house surge protector, an electrician can install one at your panel or power meter. Whole-house units only protect against incoming surges, so use them with plug-in units for the best protection. • Standby power is another name for the small amounts of electricity used by items that are plugged in but not in use. Minimize standby power with smart power strips that shut off power to devices after a period of inactivity.

Layers of soil can also settle over the years and cause foundation cracks.

• A leaking, cracked, or otherwise compromised foundation will devalue your home and make selling virtually impossible. Have structural issues fixed to protect the value of your house. • When you call a foundation repair contractor, be prepared to answer a few questions, like the age of your house and any relevant history. If you’re dealing with a foundation or wall crack, tell the company approximately when you noticed the crack and whether it has gotten larger. The inspector should always come to your home to complete the estimate. • Foundation inspections should include a digital elevation survey and a discussion of potential causes of the problem. Some foundation repair companies have structural engineers on staff to consult on projects. Other companies consider that relationship to be a conflict of interest. • Discuss preventative measures such as root barriers, grading, and moisture maintenance with your contractor. Without ongoing maintenance, foundation issues can return.

The opener is usually plugged into a normal electrical outlet. Try plugging something else into the outlet to see if it’s working. If the outlet doesn’t have power, check the circuit breakers in the main service panel. If a breaker is flipped, try resetting it before calling a professional for help. • A garage door spring can cause serious injury and damage when it breaks. If your garage door has a torsion spring system, the springs are housed inside a shaft or tube. This cover should prevent the springs from causing any harm if they break. Extension springs are attached to safety cables. As long as they’re properly installed, the safety cables will control

the springs if they fail. If your garage door has extension springs but not safety cables, have a professional install them right away. • If your garage door falls or closes by itself or doesn’t stay closed, the door is most likely out of balance. Unbalanced garage doors often look uneven or slanted to one side. • Garage door openers tend to be a little noisy. If you hear grinding noises or anything out of the ordinary, however, call a garage door pro. Stop the garage door opener or, if you open the garage door by hand, stop attempting to open or close it. • 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. • Steel is one of the most popular materials for garage doors. Steel garage doors are strong and low maintenance. Other common materials include wood, aluminum, fiberglass, and vinyl. Vinyl garage doors are gaining popularity because of their durability and resistance to fading from sunlight.

Educational Content COMMON GUTTER & GUTTER GUARD INSTALLATION SERVICES • Gutter installation and replacement • 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 CONSUMER TIPS • Gutters and downspouts help protect your home’s foundation, roof, and siding. Faulty gutters can cause water damage, foundation issues, and a host of other problems. • To carry water away efficiently, gutters need to be installed with a slope toward the downspouts.

The fasteners should be close together, and the back of the gutter should be installed behind the existing roof flashing to prevent leaks and water damage. • Gutters are usually sold in five-inch or sixinch sizes. Six-inch gutter troughs are best for minimizing overflow on steep roofs. • Downspouts are usually two inches by three inches or three inches by four inches in size. Larger downspouts drain well and resist clogs. • Gutter guard systems are typically made of a fine metal mesh or a piece of curved, painted metal installed on top of the gutter trough. These covers keep out leaves and other debris.

Gutter Cleaning Best Pick Reports recommends: ■ Ned Stevens Gutter Cleaning, a division of Ned's Home 5th year as a Best Pick

856-432-1293

Educational Content COMMON GUTTER CLEANING SERVICES • Gutter cleaning • Downspout cleaning • Gutter repairs • Gutter installation • Roof cleaning • Pressure washing TOP CONSUMER TIPS • Gutters and downspouts carry water away from your house, protecting the soil, foundation, roof, and siding. Spillover from clogged gutters can erode the soil around the foundation and cause foundation and waterproofing problems. • Don’t wait until your gutters overflow to have them cleaned. Gutters that overflow consistently for an extended period of time can cause issues like wood rot, basement water intrusion, insect infestations, and termite damage. • Gutter cleaning should be done a minimum of twice a year. The general rule of thumb is to have the gutters cleaned in the late spring and late fall, after trees have budded out or lost all their leaves. If you have lots of trees around your house, you may need to have your gutters cleaned on a quarterly basis. It’s a good idea to check your gutters regularly all year to ensure water is flowing properly.

• Gutter covers can reduce the amount of debris that collects in your gutters. A gutter cover is a smooth piece of curved, painted metal that fits over the top of the gutter. When it rains, water flows around and underneath the cover and into the gutter. Leaves and other debris fall to the ground. Gutter covers are sometimes less effective at very steep sections of the roof. The volume of water that comes down the roof at these spots can still overshoot the gutters. Diverters can help with this. Adding a gutter cover system to your home doesn’t mean that your gutters are now completely maintenancefree. They should still be inspected periodically to make sure they aren’t leaking or deteriorating. • For traditionally seasonal businesses like gutter cleaning, try to schedule your services during the slower times of year. You will likely have an easier time scheduling your preferred date and time. • The heights involved make gutter cleaning dangerous. Professionals have special safety training as well as the right equipment, like ladders with levelers. Any company working at your home should be fully insured. This is especially true for gutter cleaners, since damage to property is always a possibility. Ask for proof of both workers’ compensation insurance and liability insurance.

Insulation Best Pick Reports recommends: ■ Power Home Remodeling

856-375-8215

6th year as a Best Pick

Educational Content COMMON INSULATION SERVICES • 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 CONSUMER TIPS • High utility bills are a sign that your home lacks sufficient insulation. If air escapes through openings, your HVAC system will work harder to heat and cool your home. Over time, this shortens the system’s lifespan and increases your energy costs. Also watch for other signs of poor insulation, like uneven indoor temperatures and increased levels of dust around the house. • Over time, blown-in attic insulation tends to settle. If your home is five to ten years old or older and has blown-in insulation, consider adding another six inches or so of insulation to your attic. This boost in R-value can help reduce heat gain in the summer and heat loss in the winter, which conserves energy and reduces your utility bills.

• Fiberglass is the most widely used home insulator and noise reducer. Fiberglass insulation comes in precut batts, rolls, or blankets. Batts are strips specifically sized to fit between wall studs. Fiberglass rolls can be rolled out on attic floors. Blankets are common for insulating basement or crawl space ceilings. • Foam insulation has the highest R-value of all insulation types. Foam insulation comes in both expanding and nonexpanding varieties. Nontoxic and soy versions are also available. Foam insulation is usually classified as either closed-cell or open-cell. Closed-cell foam is rigid and has a higher R-value than open-cell foam. Closed-cell foam stops moisture vapors and is highly mold resistant. Open-cell foam doesn’t stop moisture the way closed-cell foam does, but it is a less expensive option. • Spray foam is common in new construction because it can be sprayed into open cavities during the building process. Pourable foam insulation can be used in existing structures. If too much is used, however, pourable foam can crack drywall as it dries and expands. Injection foam is a popular retrofit alternative. It is injected into wall cavities via small holes and doesn’t expand during installation, which reduces the chance of drywall damage.

Kitchen & Bathroom Remodeling Best Pick Reports recommends: ■ Kitchen Tune-Up Mainline PA

856-485-3279

4th year as a Best Pick

Educational Content COMMON KITCHEN & BATHROOM REMODELING SERVICES • Kitchen remodeling and renovation • Bathroom remodeling and renovation • Cabinet replacement and refacing • Countertop and flooring replacement • Fixture installation • Tile installation • Design services TOP CONSUMER TIPS • Request written estimates from several remodeling firms. When you meet with a contractor about your project, explain in detail the work you want done. This will help you and the contractor avoid confusion about expectations and project scope. • Remodeling your kitchen or bathroom is a great opportunity to make the space more functional. Improve the layout of your kitchen, for example, or modernize the look of your bathroom and save on your water bill at the same time with new plumbing fixtures. Think about your needs and wants for the new space, and be as realistic as possible. If you do a lot of cooking and entertaining, for example, a high-maintenance countertop material might not be the best choice. Talk to your contractor about options that will best fit your lifestyle and budget.

• Certain phases of home renovation work can be inconvenient, but the results are worth it. A kitchen remodel, for instance, might make that space unusable at times. Stay flexible as much as you can, and try to plan ahead when possible. A temporary food station with a microwave, coffee maker, and mini fridge in another room can make the remodeling process less disruptive. • While each project’s unique requirements differ somewhat, common bathroom remodeling steps include demolition, structural carpentry work, roughing out utilities, and installing drywall. Painting is usually one of the last steps in the remodeling process for both bathrooms and kitchens because the walls are likely to be marked up during demolition and construction. • Ask your contractor about warranties and guarantees on materials and workmanship. The specifics may vary for different products, so get the details in writing. • Keep the lines of communication open during the project. Don’t hesitate to ask questions or voice concerns. Changes are easier to make during the project than afterward. If the project’s scope changes as work progresses, get written documentation of the changes, cost differences, and time frame updates.

Lawn Treatment Best Pick Reports recommends: ■ Ned's Lawn Treatment, an expert division of Ned's Home 2nd year as a Best Pick

856-341-7981

Educational Content COMMON LAWN TREATMENT SERVICES • Lawn maintenance and treatments • Fertilization, including custom blends • Weed control • Pre- and post-emergent treatments • Insect, mite, and disease control and treatments • Aeration and seeding TOP CONSUMER TIPS • Discolored grass during the growing season is generally a sign of trouble. Common causes include underwatering, nutrient deficiency, or disease. The grass could also be injured or stressed. Your best bet is to have a lawn care professional assess your yard, diagnose the issue, and recommend the right treatment. • Two common lawn diseases are Dollar Spot and Brown Patch. Dollar Spot appears as small, silver dollar-sized patches of brown grass, while Brown Patch creates larger circular areas of discolored turf. Both can spread quickly if left untreated. A lawn care specialist can apply the proper fertilizer or fungicide to restore your lawn’s health. • Weeds fall into two main categories: grassy weeds and broadleaf weeds. Grassy weeds include crabgrass, goosegrass, and Dallis grass, which thrive in warmer months. Broadleaf weeds, such as dandelion, thistle, and chickweed, tend to

appear in cooler seasons. Year-round treatment plans help prevent both types from taking hold. • A thick, healthy lawn prevents weeds by blocking their access to sunlight and nutrients. Lawn treatment professionals can apply pre-emergent products to stop weeds before they sprout and post-emergent solutions to eliminate existing growth. Post-emergents should be applied carefully to avoid stressing the grass in hot weather. • Insects and mites can damage your lawn and landscape by feeding on grass blades and roots. Regular inspections and professional treatments help control pests before they cause visible damage or spread disease to nearby plants. • Proper mowing and maintenance are key to a resilient lawn. Each grass type has an ideal mowing height, and keeping blades sharp helps ensure a clean cut that reduces stress and promotes healthy growth. • Trees and shrubs need regular care, too. Pruning removes dead or overgrown branches, allowing more light and air to reach healthy growth. Proper trimming also helps prevent disease, supports plant structure, and enhances your property’s overall appearance.

Painters Best Pick Reports recommends: ■ Heiler Painting

856-502-1674

5th year as a Best Pick

Educational Content COMMON PAINTING SERVICES • 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 CONSUMER TIPS • Preparation is the key to a successful paint job. Make sure the painter you hire includes proper prep work in the estimate for your job. Preparing an area to paint involves patching holes, sanding any patched areas and uneven spots, and ensuring that the entire surface is clean and dry. Exterior work includes repairing any wood rot and fixing damaged siding. Primer and paint adhere best to clean, smooth surfaces, so good prep work is worth the cost. The new paint will last longer (and look better) with the right prep work. • The estimates you consider should include the same scope of work and materials so you can make a fair comparison. Also check the quality of the paint in the estimate and the number of coats proposed.

• Choose a paint finish that fits the space being painted. Shinier finishes are durable and 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 best for low-traffic areas such as bedrooms. • If you are not sure of which paint color to use, ask for a color consultation. Your painting contractor might be able to help you choose a color scheme that suits your home decor. Another option is to buy small samples of colors you like and paint swatches on the walls. This method lets you see what each color looks like in different lighting. • Before you settle on an exterior paint color, check with your HOA, if you have one. There may be specific colors and paint brands you have to use. Also take the architectural style of your home into account. Some paint manufacturers offer palettes to make the color selection process easier. • Quality matters. Cheaper paints are formulated differently from more expensive options, so they often require more coats to get the same result as higher-quality paints. The cost of paint is usually lower than the cost of labor, so cheap paint often means that the job will cost more in the end.

Always call a professional to handle the issue. • To avoid attracting pests indoors, don’t let food, drinks, or pet food sit out overnight. Stack firewood on blocks or a concrete pad away from your foundation, and clear debris from your yard. Termites need moisture to breed, so keep gutters and downspouts clear. Have leaks repaired promptly and watch for dripping outdoor faucets, puddling, or damp areas around the foundation.

• Many pest control companies take a comprehensive approach to pest problems. This means that the exterminator will use natural pesticides and humane traps or pest exclusion methods first. If needed, they will also use synthetic pesticides, but carefully and sparingly. This holistic approach to pest management is effective and safer for the environment. • Once pests are gone, their entry points should be sealed. Your exterminator will find where the pests got in, identify other potential entry points, and offer ways to prevent the issue in the future. • Discourage mosquitoes and other outdoor pests by taking steps like dumping out standing water, caulking foundation cracks, and filling open tree holes with sand. Add these tasks to your normal yard maintenance routine to make them a habit. • Don’t use insecticides on bees and wasps. While their stings hurt and can be dangerous, these pollinators are vital to our ecosystem. A pest control professional will know how to safely and humanely control the swarm and move the nest.

• Low water pressure can signal a problem in the water line or a buildup of sediment. Test the water pressure at the faucets. Then, remove faucet aerators to look for sediment. Also check the drainage. You should see a full swirl of water as a sink or basin drains.

TOP CONSUMER TIPS • Know the location of the main water shutoff valve for your house. This valve is usually indoors, near the water heater or wherever utility supply lines enter the house. Most fixtures also have shutoff valves in their supply lines.

• For safety, the Gas Appliance Manufacturers Association recommends setting your water heater no higher than 120 to 125 degrees Fahrenheit.

• When it’s time to upgrade to new plumbing fixtures, look for ENERGY STAR-certified products that save water and reduce your overall energy consumption.

• Most drain clogs are avoidable. Cover drains with screens, and don’t pour grease down the kitchen sink. Chemical drain cleaners can weaken pipes with repeated use, so try to avoid them.

• Frost-proof outside spigots prevent many repairs each year. The valve part of the spigot is installed deep in the wall, which keeps the water in the pipe from freezing. When the spigot is turned off, there isn’t any water near the wall. Remove the hose from the spigot and drain it before winter.

Roof Cleaning Best Pick Reports recommends: ■ Ned's Power Washing, an expert division of Ned's Home 1st year as a Best Pick

856-716-5645

Educational Content COMMON ROOF CLEANING SERVICES • Roof cleaning • Soft washing • Pressure washing TOP CONSUMER TIPS • Roof cleaning is an important exterior cleaning service. It removes algae, moss, dirt, mold, and other buildup from your roof and keeps your roof in good shape. Keep an eye out for black streaks, since they can be a sign of algae growing on your shingles. Algae growth is an especially common problem in areas of the country with high humidity. Even if your area isn’t humid very often, you may find mold, mildew, and other dirty buildup on the north- and west-facing sections of your roof. Those parts of the roof receive the least amount of sunlight during the day, which makes them more susceptible to accumulation of dirt and debris. • If allowed to grow unchecked, algae, lichen, moss, and mold can eventually damage parts of your roof, like the shingles, underlayment, and decking. Roof cleaning improves a roof’s appearance and extends its life. Soft washing and low-pressure washing are the most common roof cleaning methods. If it’s done improperly, pressure washing of any sort (low or high pressure) can damage your roof. Hire only

an experienced professional who has the right tools and training. • To soft wash your roof, the cleaner will apply a cleaning solution to the entire roof with a commercial sprayer. The cleaning solution kills organic matter and makes it easier to remove. The cleaner might use a soft broom or brush to carefully loosen stubborn dirt or organic growth. Finally, they will rinse the roof with water. • Ask your roof cleaner about their cleaning solutions. If possible, opt for the most ecofriendly option available, since some of it will likely end up on your yard. The cleaning solutions recommended by the Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association (ARMA) aren’t caustic and won’t damage your landscaping. • Always verify any state-required workers’ compensation and liability insurance before contracting with a roof cleaning company. The crew will be working at dangerous heights. Using a company that is properly insured helps protect you in case of an accident. Also keep in mind that most homeowners’ insurance policies will only provide accident coverage if the company involved is adequately insured. This extra step of due diligence when making a hiring decision is well worth it.

Educational Content COMMON ROOFING SERVICES • Roof installation and replacement • Roof repair and maintenance • Fascia and soffit repair • Roof inspections • Storm damage assessments TOP CONSUMER TIPS • Roof ventilation is critical. Without it, hot air will become trapped in your attic and strain your HVAC system, among other problems. Roof replacement is an ideal time to improve ventilation. Ridge vents and soffit vents are a great, cost-effective solution. • Most roof leaks are caused by failed or improperly installed flashing. These leaks can sometimes be fixed with caulking, but for

a long-term fix, the flashing will need to be completely removed and replaced. • Try to minimize roof traffic. Contractors working on other parts of your house can damage the roof if they aren’t careful. For example, a gutter or window cleaning contractor shouldn’t use any type of nailed bracing on a pitched roof. They could accidentally nail into the roof, which increases the chances of a leak in that spot. • Normal settling of the house can make shingles look wavy. You may also see waves if new shingles were installed over existing shingles. Rotted decking can also cause a wavy look, as can asphalt shingles that haven’t completely bonded. Time and warm weather will fix waves caused by shingles that haven’t fully adhered.

Educational Content COMMON SIDING SERVICES • Siding installation • Siding replacement • Vinyl and insulated vinyl siding • Fiber cement siding • Engineered wood siding • Cedar siding • Exterior home remodeling and renovation TOP CONSUMER TIPS • Signs that you need to replace your siding include warped planks, rotten areas, holes, bubbling paint, and persistent mold or mildew growth. If the deterioration is limited to a small area, you may be able to have only that spot repaired. Otherwise, your best bet will be to replace your siding entirely. • Siding replacement takes approximately one to two weeks to complete. Exterior painting, if needed, typically takes two to four days. Before siding work begins, remove art and wall hangings from walls and move furniture toward the middle of the room.

• Siding replacement is a great opportunity to boost your home’s energy efficiency and curb appeal. While you’re deciding on the type of siding you want, think about color schemes, too. • 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. • With proper installation and maintenance, most siding products will last decades. Fiber cement, composite, and vinyl siding are easy to maintain and typically need only an annual rinse to wash away the dirt and grime that accumulates through the seasons. • Request estimates from several contractors, but don’t make your decision only on price. Hire an experienced, reliable contractor that offers robust warranties. Siding can be installed year round, but it’s typically easier in moderate temperatures.

5th year as a Best Pick

Educational Content COMMON SOLAR PANEL INSTALLATION SERVICES • Solar panel system design • Solar panel system installation • Solar batteries • Real-time solar panel system monitoring TOP CONSUMER TIPS • A solar panel system can save you anywhere from 20 to 100 percent on your electricity costs compared to traditional power sources. Electric utility tier rates directly affect how quickly you will recoup your investment. A smaller system that satisfies part of your energy needs may be more cost effective if it avoids higher-tier rates. • Solar panel systems don’t need much maintenance, and most systems have warranties of 10 to 25 years. Be sure the system you purchase will pay back your initial investment before the warranty expires. • Your system’s size will depend on how much energy you want to generate (and how much space you have available). Many people start out with a smaller system and increase the size modularly over time. • At any point, your solar panel system can produce more or less energy than you need. When it produces less, the system pulls

power from the municipal grid to make up the difference. This is the electricity you pay for. During a surplus, your solar panel system makes more energy than you need. That extra electricity feeds back into the municipal power grid. You are then credited for the surplus. This utility buy-back benefit is usually called Net Metering (NM). It’s a billing arrangement that credits you for the full retail value of the extra electricity your system generates. • To adhere to state and federal regulations, energy producers that use fossil fuels have to meet a clean energy quota. In some states, energy companies meet this quota by giving Solar Renewable Energy Credits (SRECs) to solar panel system owners. These SRECs are then claimed by the energy company as proof of clean energy production. SRECs have a monetary value that differs from state to state. You only benefit from SRECs if you own your system. If you lease your solar panel system, you won’t be eligible for SRECs. • Your state may offer other incentives for solar panel systems, like property tax breaks or exemptions and/or sales tax waivers. The Residential Clean Energy Credit is a 30 percent federal income tax credit available to those who invest in solar energy systems.

Educational Content COMMON WATER TREATMENT & FILTRATION SERVICES • 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 softening systems • UV systems • Repiping TOP CONSUMER TIPS • Before you invest in a whole-house water treatment and filtration system, determine the contaminants you may need to treat for or filter out. If you have well water, you can either test your water supply on your own or have a water quality specialist run the test. If your water comes from the municipal supply, contact your local water treatment or environmental protection office and request a copy of your area’s most recent water quality index (WQI) report. • The next step is to determine the flow rate of the various plumbing fixtures around your house. This includes faucets, toilets, showerheads, and even your dishwasher and water heater. The pros can help you with this calculation, but the

general guidance is to opt for a whole-house water filter with a flow rate of around one to two gallons per minute higher than your home’s average. This will ensure that you don’t have issues with water pressure or inconsistent flow rates once the filtration system is installed. • Don’t forget about filter cartridges as you research different system options. How much are replacements? How often will you need to replace the filter? Replacing the filter cartridge on schedule is essential to maintaining your water quality and keeping the system in good shape. • If your initial water quality test showed high levels of calcium and magnesium in the water, look into a whole-house water softening system. Hard water can cause problems over time, including limescale buildup, pipe clogs, and reduced water heater efficiency. • Most water softening systems use salt to soften hard water. Water runs from the household supply line through a tank where a chemical process swaps the magnesium and calcium for sodium. The water that leaves the tank has been softened. Salt-based softeners don’t result in salty tasting water, but they do leave a trace amount of sodium in the water. If that’s a concern, opt for a salt-free system.

Educational Content COMMON WATERPROOFING SERVICES • Basement waterproofing • Foundation waterproofing • Moisture and humidity control systems • Interior and exterior drainage systems • Crawl space sealing TOP CONSUMER TIPS • Basement and crawl space water problems are usually caused by hydrostatic pressure, or water in the soil pushing against the walls or floor of the basement or crawl space. Hydrostatic pressure can be caused by poor grading, clogged gutters and downspouts, and failed footing drains. A high “false” water table combined with poor soil drainage can also cause hydrostatic pressure. This happens when water doesn’t drain from saturated soil and instead seeps into below-grade sections of the house. • The fix for a water intrusion issue involves a few systems and tools. First, check that the gutters and downspouts are clear and installed correctly.

Foundation cracks should be sealed. Cement block walls and mortar joints are susceptible to leakage and should be sealed and waterproofed. • Drainage systems can be installed around the exterior or interior perimeter of your house. Interior drainage system installation usually means that the basement or crawl space floor will be dug up to create trenches for the drain lines. Waterproofing experts know how to do this efficiently while minimizing the mess. • Your contractor might recommend the injection method as a fix for foundation cracks. This method seals foundation cracks with an epoxy or polyurethane material. • If your waterproofing system includes a sump pump, be sure to have it inspected and maintained annually. Sump pumps do not work without a power source. If you have frequent power outages, ask your contractor about a battery-backup sump pump.

Wildlife Removal Best Pick Reports recommends: ■ Critter Control South

4th year as a Best Pick

Educational Content COMMON WILDLIFE REMOVAL SERVICES • Wildlife removal • Wildlife management • Exclusion services and repairs • Humane 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 CONSUMER TIPS • Wildlife removal can be dangerous, so don’t try to take care of the problem by yourself. Wild animals enter your home looking for shelter and safety, and they don’t take kindly to being removed from a cozy hiding place. They may bite or scratch out of fear. Always call a professional to handle the issue. Wildlife removal specialists have training and special equipment to safely and humanely remove nuisance animals without putting themselves or others at risk. • Reputable wildlife removal companies use humane methods of animal control. In most cases, nuisance wildlife is captured using humane live traps. Once the animal is captured, state regulations largely dictate the next steps. In some cases, the animal must be released in the

same area in which it was captured. In others, the animal may be relocated a certain distance away. • Mice and rats live in groups and multiply rapidly. If you see one, it is likely that you have many more. Getting rid of mice and rats usually involves baiting and trapping them, removing them, and then preventing their reentry by finding and sealing up all gaps larger than a dime. • 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 will do a thorough inspection to determine the pest’s point of entry, identify other potential points of entry, and recommend methods to prevent reentry of other unwanted pests in the future. • Exclusion work often includes tasks like installing a chimney cap, sealing gaps at the fascia and around vents and pipes, and patching siding holes. To finish up the exclusion work, trim any tree limbs overhanging your roof and prune shrubs that grow too close to the house. If you have bird feeders in your yard, move them as far away from your house as possible. Don’t give birds reasons to get close to your house.

• Multi-pane windows cost more than single-pane windows, but you’ll see energy savings over time. The insulating gas, usually argon or krypton, that fills the space between the glass panes reduces heat transfer through the window.

TOP CONSUMER TIPS • Nearly one-third of all residential energy loss occurs through old, poorly insulated windows and doors. Modern windows and doors are very energy efficient, so if your goal is to lower energy costs, replacing old windows and doors is smart.

• Fiberglass doors and windows are popular because of their durability, ease of maintenance, and energy efficiency. Wood doors and windows are elegant and classic, but they need regular maintenance to prevent rot and warping.

• Glass can be coated during manufacturing to further reduce heat transfer. Low-emissivity (or Low-E) glass is made with a very thin coating that reflects infrared light and UV rays from the sun to keep your house cool in the summer.

Window Cleaning & Pressure Washing Best Pick Reports recommends: ■ Ned's Window Cleaning and Power Washing 1st year as a Best Pick

856-588-1166

Educational Content COMMON WINDOW CLEANING & PRESSURE WASHING SERVICES • Interior and exterior window cleaning • Pressure washing • House washing • Low-pressure roof cleaning • Deck and fence cleaning • Driveway, patio, and pool deck cleaning TOP CONSUMER TIPS • There are a couple of common techniques for washing windows, and both work well when done by an experienced, conscientious team. Some residential window cleaners hand-wash windows. This method lets the cleaner work with a lot of attention to detail. Water-fed pole cleaning is quicker and lets the cleaner stay on the ground for most residential jobs. For this method, the cleaner washes the windows with a long tube that sprays high-pressure purified water. • Many window cleaning companies offer other related services, like recaulking and screen replacement. A company that offers these services can do all your seasonal window work at one time. • Be sure to ask about the cleaning solutions the company uses. It’s very important that they not

use anything with hydrofluoric acid. Hydrofluoric acid is used in some commercial cleaning solutions, but it can cause etching or pitting on glass. • Over time, mildew, algae, and dirt can dull your siding and the concrete or paved surfaces around your house. Stains and discoloration are hard to remove by hand, especially from materials like concrete, stone, and wood. A pressure washer can clean a larger area in less time than one person can accomplish with a scrub brush and soapy water. • A pressure washer can spray a jet of water with enough force to do a lot of damage in inexperienced hands. For most residential jobs, however, the full power of a pressure washer isn’t needed. Low-pressure power washing, or soft washing, works well for jobs like roof cleaning and house washing. • Window cleaning and pressure washing require skill, experience, and knowledge of chemicals. Because of the potential for damage and injury, be sure that the company you hire has plenty of experience as well as state-required general liability and worker’s compensation insurance policies. This coverage protects you and the crew members working at your house.

Additional Information BEST PICK REPORTS OVERVIEW • Best Pick Reports, LLC, is a free reference for local homeowners that has informed home service buying decisions since 1997. • Our mission is to create meaningful connections between service-based businesses and consumers by recognizing the best local providers and sharing these names with homeowners via free, easy to use, and trustworthy resources. • We track businesses across dozens of home service categories and showcase Certified Best Pick companies in our semiannual report, which is posted online and mailed to homes in metropolitan communities across the nation. • Our qualification process incorporates annual review analysis to ensure every Best Pick company maintains a high quality of workmanship and customer service. • Our report features companies that have consistently received positive reviews from their customers, so you can be confident that they’ve been vetted by homeowners like you. We also verify that companies in our guide hold proper licenses and insurance. • Companies cannot buy a good rating; they must earn it by having many satisfied customers and good reviews. Our extensive research makes us the most reliable resource for finding reputable home service companies. WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT • We know we’re not the only organization that rates home service providers. So what makes us different? In short, it’s our commitment to identifying the best companies through ongoing, verifiable research. • We rely on a combination of customer surveys, Google reviews, proper insurance and licenses, and company financial data to inform our ratings. • We’ve spent over 25 years refining the way we do research so that our ratings remain exceptionally reliable. • Another way we’re different: companies cannot buy their way into our report. We do not sell advertising space, improved ratings, or better placement in our report; instead, companies are listed in order based on their longevity as a Certified Best Pick company. • Inclusion is by invitation alone, and that invitation is extended only if a company has met our strict qualifying criteria. • In the same way that homeowners benefit from Best Pick Reports, qualifying companies also benefit from the promotion, which creates a win-win environment for the company and potential customer. • Most participating companies pay a fee each time they receive a new customer from Best Pick Reports, though some companies instead pay a percent of the completed job amount. These payments cover the cost of our vetting process and allow us to distribute our publication at no cost to homeowners. HOW COMPANIES ARE QUALIFIED • For each Best Pick Reports publication, we conduct independent consumer satisfaction surveys every year with homeowners who had firsthand experience with home service providers. If needed, we also analyze Google reviews. • Our internal surveying is an independent process conducted through our own phone surveying platform or through our partnership with GuildQuality, an industry leader in consumer satisfaction surveying. • We develop a company’s rating according to the survey and review data we have about that company spanning the past three years; the company’s financial standing; and proper insurance and licenses, which we verify through the issuing bodies. • Every Best Pick company must maintain extremely high satisfaction rates. At least 80 percent of a company’s customer responses through in-house surveying must be positive (on a scale of 1-5, a positive experience is a rating of 4 or 5). If Google reviews are referenced, the company must have an overall 4.0 or greater rating over the past three years.

Additional Information • • • • •

Once the research process is complete, companies excelling in each category have the option of participating in the Best Pick program, authorizing us to include their name in our semiannual publication and on our website. Companies new to Best Pick Reports must meet our qualification standards and have a minimum of one year of service in the book area or a strong franchise history. Companies must maintain the same satisfaction rates every year after qualifying to continue their inclusion in the Best Pick program. The exact review count spanning the last three years of review data for each company can be found to the left of the company’s profile on bestpickreports.com. When we list a company as a Best Pick, we absolutely believe it to be the case, and that belief is continuously confirmed by the enormously positive experiences that homeowners report.

BEST PICK GUARANTEE • The Best Pick Guarantee provides homeowners with security and confidence when hiring Best Pick companies, which are the best of the best; however, we also know that no company is perfect. • In the event that the work of a Best Pick company is unsatisfactory, the Best Pick Guarantee gives registered homeowners the ability to seek remediation in the form of additional service to resolve the issue and, when appropriate, financial restitution. • Throughout the remediation process, we will act as third-party mediator, advocating for a satisfactory solution for all parties. In the event that an issue requires monetary reimbursement, we will determine the amount and the method of the guarantee payment, up to $2,500. • To register and see full terms and conditions, please visit bestpickreports.com/guarantee. INSURANCE & LICENSE VERIFICATION • Prior to publication, we verify general liability insurance and, when required by the state, workers’ compensation insurance for all Best Pick companies. • We also verify trade licenses required by the state by referring directly to the appropriate state authority. • If a company does not have the proper licenses or insurance, it is not eligible to be a Best Pick participant—even if its reviews justify such designation. CONFIDENTIALITY POLICY • If you complete a customer satisfaction survey, your responses may appear on the company’s public profile. • Names are listed in a first name, last initial format. • We will not share your specific survey response information or contact information with any party outside of the company for which you completed a survey without your consent or unless directed to do so by a court of law. COMPANIES AND CATEGORIES NOT LISTED • There are many reasons why a company may not be listed in our report. It is possible the company did not receive a good rating, does not conduct a considerable amount of business in the geographic area, or chose not to participate in the Best Pick program. • We may also not be familiar with all companies in a metro area and would be happy to consider a nomination. If you would like to nominate your favorite service provider, please visit bestpickreports.com/ nominate-a-company. • If a specific category is not listed in Best Pick Reports, you can visit our blog at bestpickreports.com/blog to learn about various home projects, tips on hiring a contractor, and more.

Frequently Asked Questions HOW ARE COMPANIES SELECTED FOR BEST PICK REPORTS? The majority of our Best Pick companies are identified through our due diligence research. We also accept nominations from homeowners and companies. All companies must qualify through our rigorous vetting process to be awarded the Best Pick status and invited to the Best Pick program. A company cannot buy its way in. Because of our qualification method and invitation-only certification process, you can be confident that every Best Pick has been rated as exceptional in quality and customer service.

HOW DOES BEST PICK REPORTS CONDUCT RESEARCH? We develop a company’s rating based on review and survey data; the company’s financial standing; and proper licenses and insurance. Every Best Pick company must maintain extremely high satisfaction rates. At least 80 percent of a company’s customer responses through in-house surveying must be positive (on a scale of 1-5, a positive experience is a rating of 4 or 5). If Google reviews are referenced, the company must have an overall 4.0 or greater rating over the past three years. Only qualified companies are invited into the Best Pick program.

WHERE DID YOU GET MY INFO? To send Best Pick Reports to the areas that our companies service, we obtain basic homeowner information like name and address from publicly available sources such as county records and property data providers, similar to how sites like whitepages. com or zillow.com obtain data. We

take your privacy very seriously and will never share or sell this data.

DO MANY COMPANIES NOT QUALIFY AS A BEST PICK? The rigorous nature of our qualification process means that many companies do not qualify. Since all Best Pick companies must requalify each year, it is also possible for a company to lose its Best Pick status if it fails to meet our standards during our annual qualification cycle.

WHY ISN’T MY FAVORITE SERVICE PROVIDER LISTED? A particular company may not be listed in Best Pick Reports for a variety of reasons. It is possible the company did not receive a good rating, does not conduct a considerable amount of business in the geographic area, does not have the required insurance and licenses, or chose not to participate in the Best Pick program. Additionally, we may not be familiar with every company in a market, in which case we’d be happy to consider a nomination.

HOW IS BEST PICK REPORTS FUNDED? Companies that meet our requirements have the option of participating in the Best Pick program. Those that choose to participate receive the designation and authorize us to include their name in our semiannual publication and on our website. These companies pay a fee that covers the cost of our qualification research and allows us to distribute our publication at no cost to homeowners. Companies cannot buy their way in. Participation in the Best Pick program is by invitation only and is completely voluntary.

WHY SHOULD I USE BEST PICK REPORTS? We’ve been matching top-quality companies with homeowners since 1997, and our research shows that the Best Pick companies we recommend have extremely high satisfaction rates from their customers. Through Best Pick Reports, you can also access useful information on home repairs and home service companies, so you can be educated when reaching out to companies for your next project. All Best Pick companies are covered by our Best Pick Guarantee. Register for free at bestpickreports.com/guarantee, and we will step in and mediate a solution if you have any problems with the quality of work provided by your Best Pick. If no agreeable solution can be achieved, we will refund your purchase up to $2,500. Read full terms at bestpickreports.com/terms.

WHY ARE YOUR PHONE NUMBERS DIFFERENT FROM THE COMPANY’S WEBSITE? To ensure we’re matching homeowners in our service areas with Best Pick companies, we use tracking numbers in our publications. Also, when you call a company from our book or website, the company will know that you’re calling through Best Pick Reports due to this unique number.
