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 BATHTUB & SHOWER CONVERSION SERVICES • Bathtub and shower conversion services • One-day bathroom remodeling services • Design services • Shower and tub replacement • Cabinet installation • Tile installation • Countertop installation • Fixture installation TOP CONSUMER TIPS • Tub-to-shower conversion projects take about a day to complete. A bathtub that is already surrounded by walls can be replaced with a shower relatively easily since the drains and water lines are already in place. • The shower-to-tub conversion process is similar to that of converting a bathtub to a shower. Your contractor will remove the shower stall and install a bathtub in its place. These projects normally take one or two days.

• Tub and shower conversion contractors often offer one-day bathroom “facelifts,” or cosmetic remodels. If your bathroom doesn’t have functional issues, a bathroom facelift might be the perfect solution. • Most bathroom facelift projects include replacing plumbing fixtures, vanities, and shelving as well as a new coat of paint. These projects are usually done in days, compared to the multi-week timeline of a conventional remodeling project. The key difference is that a cosmetic refresh involves very minimal demolition and structural carpentry work, if any at all. Instead, the project’s focus will be on the smaller details that are easier to change out. • The key to a great tub and shower conversion is a reputable, experienced contractor. Interview and request bids from at least three companies, and try to resist being swayed by price alone. Your budget is certainly important, but the lowest bid may not result in the outcome you want.

Concrete - Driveways, Sidewalks & Patios Best Pick Reports recommends: ■ People Come First Construction Group

253-518-3089

2nd year as a Best Pick

Educational Content COMMON CONCRETE DRIVEWAY, SIDEWALK & PATIO SERVICES • Concrete installation • Driveways and aprons • Sidewalks and walkways • Patios • Retaining walls • Garage floors • Stamped and decorative concrete TOP CONSUMER TIPS • Concrete is made up of three basic components: portland cement, aggregate (rock, sand, or gravel), and water. Cement acts as a binding agent when mixed with aggregate and water. The mixture is then poured and allowed to harden. • Concrete grade is a measure of the concrete’s strength and is calculated in pounds per square inch (psi). Residential driveway concrete is usually 3,000 or 4,000 psi and at least four inches thick. Greater thickness equals extra strength, so if you have a heavy truck or more than a couple of cars, ask your contractor about going up to five or six inches of concrete at certain points on the driveway. • The first step in replacing a concrete slab is to break up and remove the old slab. Then, the contractor may put down extra gravel or fill dirt

to create a stronger base. This reinforced base layer should be firmly compacted to prevent soil erosion over time. The contractor may add a steel reinforcement grid for strength. With temporary forms in place, the concrete is poured and smoothed. Then, the curing process starts. • Control joints are shallow grooves cut into a concrete slab just after it’s poured. If the concrete is going to crack as it hardens and cures, it will usually happen at the control joints. Isolation joints, also called expansion joints, separate a concrete slab from a wall or other structure. These joints are filled with a synthetic material and then sealed. Isolation joints also help prevent cracking by making space for the concrete to expand during hot weather. • Concrete that isn’t cured correctly can be as much as 50 percent weaker than properly cured concrete. The process may seem timeconsuming, but the results are well worth it. There are different curing methods, all with the same result of preventing water evaporation as the concrete cures and hardens. • Concrete can be artistically stamped or tinted. These applications can make plain concrete mimic almost any surface, from stone to wood grain.

Concrete Leveling & Raising Best Pick Reports recommends: ■ Groundworks 253-267-7175 5th year as a Best Pick

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. • Uneven exterior concrete slabs and steps should be repaired for many reasons, including convenience and safety. An even, level surface is important if you plan to build on the slab or lay tile or flooring. • 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 DECK BUILDING & MAINTENANCE SERVICES • Custom deck design • Deck construction • Deck maintenance and repair TOP CONSUMER TIPS • Common deck materials include wood, wood composite, and PVC. Popular wood species used for decks include cedar, redwood, tropical hardwoods like ipe and cumaru, southern yellow pine, and Douglas fir. Popular brands for wood composite or PVC deck products include Trex, AZEK, and Fiberon. • Pressure-treated pine is a popular, cost-effective choice for new deck construction. It’s a lowmaintenance product that has been treated with preservatives to resist rot, but it isn’t maintenance-free. It should be sealed regularly to maintain its water resistance. • Brand-new decks will need to cure before any wood treatment application. This usually equals about four to eight weeks of dry weather before

the initial sealing. Many contractors will do this initial sealing. If yours doesn’t, set a reminder for yourself so you don’t forget. Periodic cleaning and sealing will keep the deck sturdy and looking good for years. • Sealant waterproofs the deck, and stain provides color and UV protection. It’s best to apply sealant and stain separately. There are oil-, water-, and silicone-based sealants and water- and oilbased stains. • Bird droppings, fallen leaves, and mildew can all stain or discolor a wood deck. Candle wax poses a special threat to wood decks because it’s virtually impossible to remove. Deck cleaning will address preexisting stains. A sealed deck will resist staining better than raw, unsealed wood. • In most areas, a deck build requires a construction permit because it modifies the structure of the house. Most contractors will handle the permit application process for you. Some homeowners’ associations also require project review and approval.

Educational Content COMMON DRAIN/SEWER CLEANING & REPAIR SERVICES • Drain and sewer line cleaning • Clog removal • Rodding • Hydro-jetting • Water and sewer line repair and replacement • Trenchless sewer line repair • Video camera inspections • Root removal • Repiping TOP CONSUMER TIPS • Drain clogs are typically caused by food, hair, foreign objects, and grease. To avoid clogs, use drain strainers to catch debris. Dispose of grease in a separate container, not down the drain, and don’t flush so-called flushable wipes. • The mineral buildup from hard water can clog and corrode your plumbing system. If your area has hard water, a whole-house water softener system can help.

• While chemical drain cleaners do work, they are corrosive and can damage pipes with repeated use. Be careful with plungers, too. The suction from a plunger can damage seals and cause leaks. Try using a drain snake or other drain cleaning methods first. Many plumbers recommend the regular use of enzyme cleaners for preventative maintenance. If the problem persists, call a professional. • If your sinks are draining very slowly or gurgling noises are coming from your toilets, call a drain and sewer cleaning professional. These are potential signs of a sewer system problem. • Sewer lines can break or clog from corrosion, shifting soil, tree roots, old age, and problems in the municipal waste infrastructure. If you own a home built before the 1960s and 1970s, you may have sewer pipes made of clay tile. Clay-tile pipes are susceptible to tree root intrusion, and their lifespan is less than 50 years. Sewer pipes in newer homes are usually made of durable PVC.

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

253-265-4830

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 • Home remodeling projects can produce a lot of dust and debris, as do everyday activities, 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 rapid buildup of dust and dirt in the ducts. • 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 and also improve air circulation. • If mold is found in your ductwork and HVAC system, hire a pro to clean the entire system and ductwork. 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.

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. Issues like improper grounding or a totally full main panel might not impact your daily life, but they are safety hazards. • Test your smoke detectors monthly, replace the batteries at least annually, and replace smoke detector units every ten years at minimum. For the best protection, have an electrician install hardwired smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors with battery backups. • Surge protectors can protect electronics from power surges by diverting excess electricity through a grounding wire. An electrician can install a whole-house surge protector 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.

Foundation Repair Best Pick Reports recommends: ■ Groundworks 253-525-4528 5th year as a Best Pick

Educational Content COMMON FOUNDATION REPAIR SERVICES • 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 CONSUMER TIPS • 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. • 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 against the foundation walls. Layers of soil can also settle over the years and cause foundation cracks. Slab foundations that are poured on loose soil are especially prone to problems. • A leaking, cracked, or otherwise compromised foundation will devalue your home and make

selling virtually impossible. If your home shows signs of cracking, settling, or leaking, your best course of action will be to repair the foundation 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 problems cannot be diagnosed over the phone. • Foundation inspections should include a digital elevation survey and a discussion of potential causes of the problem. Most inspections take about an hour to an hour and a half. 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, proper drainage and grading, and moisture maintenance with your contractor. Without a plan for ongoing maintenance, foundation issues can return, especially if they were initially caused by moisture problems.

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. This safety measure prevents damage and injury. 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. This causes the hardware on one side to wear out more quickly. • 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. They’re also made with UV-resistant materials, so they’re less likely to fade from sun exposure.

Educational Content COMMON GENERATOR SERVICES • Standby generator sales • Standby generator installation, maintenance, repair, and replacement • Generator switches and accessories • Remote generator monitoring TOP CONSUMER TIPS • Before you buy a generator, think about what you’ll need to power if your electricity goes out. Try to keep your list to the absolute must-haves, like essential medical equipment, your home’s heating and cooling system, your refrigerator, and internet and communication devices. That list of essentials will help you choose a generator that’s the right size for your needs. • A standby generator (also called a wholehouse generator) typically uses either natural gas or propane to power the engine that creates electricity. Standby generators turn on automatically when the power goes out, even if you aren’t home during the service outage. • Whole-house generators must be professionally installed by a licensed electrician. They rely on a transfer switch that transfers electricity from the public utility to your home and back again. If

this switch is incorrectly installed, electricity can backfeed into the utility lines and electrocute a utility worker. • Generators must be installed and used well away from covered spaces. Enclosed or covered spaces let deadly carbon monoxide gas build up while a fuel-powered generator is in use. Carbon monoxide can remain for hours after the machine is shut off. A generator professional will know the safest place for your new generator. • Routine maintenance ensures that your generator works when you need it. Have your standby generator serviced every 6 to 12 months. Regular maintenance checks for your generator can also help you avoid needing service during peak seasons. Because gas-powered generators must be placed outside, leaves and other debris can sometimes get in the way. Keep clutter and debris clear of the generator unit. • A battery-powered generator can be a good option if you don’t have outdoor space for a gas-powered unit. Check your battery-powered generator on a regular basis, too. If you opt for a battery-powered generator, invest in a solar panel and battery bank system for recharging.

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, soil erosion, roof leaks, fascia and soffit damage, and other problems. • For water to move through the gutters efficiently, the gutters need to be installed with a slope toward the downspouts. Too much slope can make the gutter overflow. Too little slope will cause water to sit in the gutters. A structurally sound gutter will have fasteners that are

relatively close together. 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 deep by three inches wide or three inches deep by four inches wide. Larger downspouts drain quickly and don’t clog easily. • Seamless aluminum gutters are a popular option. Vinyl gutters are cost effective and lightweight. Copper and zinc gutters are an investment, but they weather to a beautiful patina over the years and can last for the life of the house. • 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.

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. Don’t wait until your gutters overflow to have them cleaned. Consistent spillover from clogged gutters can erode the soil around the foundation and cause waterproofing problems. • Gutter cleaning should be done at least twice a year, usually in the late spring and late fall. If you have lots of trees around your house, you may need to have your gutters cleaned on a quarterly basis. 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. Rainwater flows around and underneath the cover, and leaves and other debris fall to the ground. Gutter covers are sometimes less effective at very steep sections of the roof, but diverters can help with this. Adding a gutter cover system to your home doesn’t mean that your gutters are now completely maintenance-free. They should still be inspected periodically. • 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 are trained and have the right equipment. 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.

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 lower energy costs by auto-adjusting the temperature while the house is empty. • Ask if your service provider honors manufacturers’ warranties on new equipment 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.

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. Air escaping through openings forces your HVAC system to work harder to maintain a comfortable temperature. Over time, this shortens the system’s lifespan and increases your energy costs. • Blown-in attic insulation settles over time. If your home is five to ten years old or older, consider adding insulation to your attic. This boost in R-value can reduce heat transfer, which helps conserve energy and lower 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 that fit between wall studs. Fiberglass rolls can be rolled out on attic floors. Blankets are ideal for basement or crawl space ceilings. • Foam insulation has the highest R-value of all insulation types and comes in both expanding and nonexpanding varieties. Closed-cell foam insulation is rigid and has a higher R-value than open-cell. 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 an alternative that is injected into wall cavities via small holes. It doesn’t expand during installation, reducing the risk of drywall damage.

Educational Content COMMON OUTDOOR KITCHEN & LIVING SPACE SERVICES • Outdoor living space design and installation • Outdoor kitchens and living areas • Walkways and pavers • Patios and pool decks • Arbors, pergolas, and gazebos • Patio covers TOP CONSUMER TIPS • Outdoor living design/build firms can handle your project from beginning to end. They usually have landscaping experience, too, so they can give you ideas for both the structural elements of your project and the plant-related ones. Outline your needs, wants, and budget for the project so the company you choose can draw up a plan that fits what you have in mind. • Think about how you’ll use your new space. If you entertain often, a roomy deck or patio will give you plenty of space for guests. If you want privacy from neighbors, ask your contractor about a fence or privacy screen. • If your goal is an outdoor entertaining space, think about adding an outdoor kitchen. This could be as simple as a grill and small prep

area. Depending on your space and budget, you could even add a sink and some cabinetry. Functionality is important, so think about how your indoor and outdoor kitchens might work together. Are the two areas on the same side of the house? What is the traffic pattern between them? The location of your gas, water, and electrical supply lines will also impact the design of your outdoor kitchen. • Landscape lighting is practical, but you can also use it to create ambiance. Use lighting to highlight your house and yard. Nice outdoor lighting also means that the party won’t need to move indoors once the sun goes down. • A pond, fountain, or other water feature brings calming white noise to your outdoor space. Keep in mind that water features typically need some level of maintenance a few times per year. • If you get more warm weather than cold, you’ll be able to use your outdoor living space almost year-round. If you live in an area with lots of cold weather, ask your contractor about ways to make the space usable for longer. Outdoor heaters and fireplaces, for example, can make a world of difference during a chilly winter.

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 • 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 patched areas and uneven spots, and ensuring that the entire surface is clean and dry. Exterior work includes repairing wood rot and fixing damaged siding. Primer and paint adhere best to clean, smooth surfaces, so good prep work is worth the cost. • 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, so choose high or semi-gloss for kitchens, window trim, doors, 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. • 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.

Paver Installation Best Pick Reports recommends: ■ People Come First Construction Group

■ Sta-Built Construction

253-285-1613

2nd year as a Best Pick

Educational Content COMMON PAVER INSTALLATION SERVICES • Paver installation • Paver design • Paver surface cleaning and sealing TOP CONSUMER TIPS • Pavers are bricks of high-density concrete. In terms of design, they’re a step up from the standard gray poured concrete typically used for patios, walkways, and driveways. The size and shape of each paver is controlled by the manufacturing process, so a paver surface is neat and uniform in appearance while still being visually appealing. Paver installations are usually more expensive than poured concrete slabs of similar size. They are, however, less costly than a surface paved with brick or natural stone. • The first step in a paver installation is excavating the area to be paved. Then, the crew will tamp down the dirt with a compaction machine to create a stable base. Next, the crew will put down a foundation of crushed stone, compacting each layer. After the final layer of crushed stone is in place, a layer of granite sand is tamped down to fill the gaps between the crushed stone and create a smooth surface for the pavers. Once the base is fully prepared, the crew will lay the

pavers, using spacers to keep everything lined up. After the pavers are laid, they are tapped firmly into place with the compaction machine. • If you’re having a paver driveway installed, the base layer will be thicker than it would be for a walkway. This ensures that the finished surface can handle the weight of multiple vehicles. • Pavers are not mortared in place. Once the pavers are placed, the installers spread a layer of polymeric or regular sand on top of the pavers and sweep it into the cracks between them. Polymeric sand binds together when sprayed with water, which makes the sand permanent. • A penetrating sealer protects the pavers from stains from motor oil, tire marks, or grease and makes them look deeper and richer in color. Penetrating sealer prevents water from entering the pavers and weakening them over time. • Ask your contractor about permeable pavers. Surfaces paved with permeable pavers have joints filled with small stones. This feature lets water flow into the ground underneath, which reduces runoff and puddling on walkways, patios, and driveways.

Educational Content COMMON PEST & TERMITE CONTROL SERVICES • 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 CONSUMER TIPS • Pest removal can be dangerous, especially if you’re dealing with stinging insects or live animals. 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.

Test the water pressure at the faucets, then remove faucet aerators to look for sediment. Also check for a full swirl of water as a sink or basin drains.

• 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. • The Gas Appliance Manufacturers Association recommends setting your water heater no higher than 120 to 125 degrees Fahrenheit for safety. • 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. • Frost-proof outside spigots can prevent costly repairs. The spigot’s valve is installed deep in the wall, which keeps the water in the pipe from freezing.

Educational Content COMMON PRESSURE WASHING SERVICES • Pressure washing • House washing • Low-pressure roof cleaning • Interior and exterior window cleaning • Deck and patio cleaning • Driveway cleaning • Pool deck cleaning • Lanai and pool enclosure cleaning • Concrete, masonry, and stone cleaning and sealing TOP CONSUMER TIPS • Gallons per minute (gpm) is a measure of how much water can flow through the pressure washer. Pounds per square inch (psi) is a measure of how much pressure the machine’s compressor can create. Together, these two measurements indicate the pressure washer’s power and efficiency. • The exact pressure washing technique your crew uses will depend on the material they’re cleaning.

As long as they’re in good condition, concrete slabs like driveways and patios can withstand a high-pressure spray. Your house, however, may be a different story. Vinyl or steel siding isn’t likely to be gouged by a pressure washer, but wood siding, certain types of stucco, fiber cement, and aluminum siding aren’t as robust. For these materials, your pressure washing crew should use a soft washing, or low-pressure, technique. Soft washing will clean your siding without the potential for damage. • Ask about the cleaning solutions available for your project. You may want to request the most eco-friendly option, since it will end up in and around your plants and landscaping. • Mildew thrives in warm, damp weather. Houses in humid areas will probably need pressure washing more frequently than those in dry climates. If you live in a coastal area, schedule an annual house service to remove corrosive salt deposits.

Educational Content COMMON ROOF CLEANING SERVICES • Roof cleaning • Soft washing • Pressure washing TOP CONSUMER TIPS • Roof cleaning removes algae, moss, dirt, mold, and other buildup from your roof. 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 westfacing 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. 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 can damage your roof, so hire only an experienced professional who has the right tools and training. • To soft wash your roof, the cleaner will spray a cleaning solution on the entire roof. 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. • If possible, opt for the most eco-friendly cleaning solution available. Cleaning solutions recommended by the Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association (ARMA) aren’t caustic and won’t damage your landscaping. • Verify any state-required workers’ compensation and liability insurance before agreeing to any work. Using a company that is properly insured helps protect you in case of an accident. Most homeowners’ insurance policies will only provide accident coverage if the company involved is adequately insured.

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.

Before siding work begins, remove art and wall hangings and move furniture toward the middle of the room.

• 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 dirt and grime. • 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.

Waterproofing Best Pick Reports recommends: ■ Groundworks 253-525-4529 5th year as a Best Pick

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. Eventually, water leaks into the space. Hydrostatic pressure can be caused by poor grading, defective or 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 the water accumulates in loose soil, creating an artificially high water table. If the water doesn’t drain from the soil, it can eventually seep 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. Sealing and waterproofing these elements helps prevent ongoing issues.

• Your waterproofing contractor may also recommend a drainage system. Drainage systems can be installed around the exterior or interior perimeter of your house. In either case, the project involves a lot of digging. Interior drainage system installation usually means that the basement or crawl space floor will be dug up to create trenches for the drain lines. Fortunately, waterproofing experts know how to do this efficiently while minimizing the mess. • If the primary cause of your water intrusion problems is foundation cracks, your contractor might recommend the injection method as a fix. This method seals cracks in a house foundation with an epoxy or polyurethane material. Once the entire crack is full of epoxy or polyurethane, the repair is complete. This solution doesn’t work for every case, but a waterproofing contractor can tell you whether injection will work for your situation. • Sump pumps are common additions to waterproofing and drainage systems. If your system includes a sump pump, be sure to have it inspected and maintained annually so it will work when you need it. Remember that sump pumps do not work without a power source. If you have frequent power outages, ask your contractor about a battery-backup sump pump.

Educational Content COMMON WINDOW & DOOR REPLACEMENT SERVICES • Door installation and replacement • Window installation and replacement • Energy-efficient windows and doors • Impact or storm windows and doors • Vinyl, fiberglass, steel, aluminum, wood, and engineered wood windows • Sliding glass, patio, and French doors • Entryway and interior doors • Wood, insulated steel, and fiberglass doors

• 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.

Educational Content COMMON WINDOW CLEANING SERVICES • Interior and exterior window cleaning • Window screen repair and replacement • Home exterior cleaning • Exterior light fixture cleaning and bulb replacement TOP CONSUMER TIPS • Washing windows by hand allows for detailed work. The cleaner will remove each window’s screen and wash and dry the window glass and sill. Screens should be wiped clean. • Water-fed pole cleaning is another common window cleaning method. It’s quicker than handwashing 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. The pole has a brush at the end to scrub the windows and loosen and remove dirt and debris. • Window cleaning is often quoted over the phone based on the number and style of your windows. When the technician arrives and evaluates

the job in person, he or she adjusts the price accordingly. Once the technician gives you a firm quote, that price should not change unless you change the details of the job or request extra services. If you need to change the job’s scope after work has begun, be sure that you’re clear on any cost adjustments. • Professional window cleaners typically use plain, purified water instead of harsh cleaning solutions. Purified water doesn’t leave spots behind on the window panes or contain chemicals that could harm landscaping, kids, or pets. Stubborn debris is scraped away by hand. • The industry’s professional organization is the International Window Cleaning Association (IWCA). IWCA member contractors have access to extra training in industry-specific safety methods. Because of the heights involved, there is the potential for worker injury or accidental property damage. For your peace of mind, the IWCA recommends checking that your window cleaner has liability insurance and workers’ compensation coverage.

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.
