I have trusted them to do everything at my house from adding one outlet in a room to relocating the main electric breaker panel (from a hall closet to the garage) while upgrading the panel to fit modern needs. I’ve also trusted them to bury the power line that runs off the pole to my house & install a generator for those times when our neighborhood loses electricity – they are a Kohler generator dealer. I have always been happy with their work, appreciated their ability to coordinate & pass inspections, & never felt like I was being over-charged.

Gutters

Submitted 5_09 by Doug Wheeler who said in response to an e-mail inquiry: Thank you for asking about seamless gutters because I’ve just had them installed on my house, replacing some old non-seamless ones. I used A-1 Aluminum Inc., based here in Irving since 1969. They also have a website at www.A-1AluminumTX.com. Here is a run-down of my experience:

• I called & their sales rep Jean Felker came by to give me a written quote -- removing my old gutters & then installing 69-feet of 5" gutters with leaf screens plus four 3"x4" downspouts (& some other parts) was $696. I did not have to pay anything up front but I did sign a contract.
• Two days later a two-man crew came by to remove the old gutters. They were quick & polite but they did leave some metal in the grass that could have become dangerous if the lawnmower had caught it -- so watch out for that.
• I already knew I had a wood rot problem behind the old gutters so we paused while I had the facial boards replaced/repaired (A-1 recommended someone because I didn't know anyone to do this).
• As soon as I told A-1 the facial boards were ready a different crew (I think they have three crews) came by & installed the new gutters. I asked a lot of questions while they were installing & the crew gave me direct responses. I feel like they did a good job.
• The following day Kelli in the office called to ask how did I want to make payment. I hope this information is helpful.

Submitted 9_11 by Cindy Cech who said: We recently completed the sale on Glen Vista, Irving Texas Storyglen Estates / Hospital District. Dianne took great care in guiding us through the process of listing and selling this property that was in need of repairs and updates. Since the house was vacant she made frequent visits to make sure the property was secure. Dianne Cartwright performed her duties in a very professional manner and as the listing agent always keeping our best interests in mind as the sellers. She went above and beyond in helping us donate useful items to those in need to clear out the house and assist in settling the estate. We will be forever grateful for Dianne Cartwright.

Submitted 6_18 by The Castleton Family who said: Outstanding Broker! Dianne is knowledgeable, diligent, and a hard worker with a unique soft touch and excellent negotiating skills.

Her marketing of the home resulted in an offer the first day of the listing at a price above our asking price. More importantly, her expertise AFTER the offer was instrumental in getting the property closed. Dianne exceeded our expectations throughout the process and delivered outstanding results. She has my highest recommendation.

Remodeling

Randy Faulkner — 817.475.8735, e-mail randy.faulkner@yahoo.com, address Irving

Submitted by Mark Murray who said: Randy lives in our neighborhood & I'd refer him for any home remodeling job. Awhile back he remodeled my kitchen & a bathroom; he did excellent work at a reasonable rate.

Submitted by Duke Castleton who said: I submit Randy Faulkner, who lives in our neighborhood, for home repairs such as painting, plastering, repairing cracks, tape & bed, popcorn ceiling finish, window replacements, & more.

Riojas Installation, LLC — Michael Chapman at 214.801.8763 or 972.617.9110, e-mail riojasinstallation@yahoo.com, address 602 Roaring Creek Court, Red Oak Submitted 10_09 by Dianne Cartwright who said: After having nightmares dealing with Lowe's we discovered the installation company used by Lowe's could have secured the Pella windows we wanted AND installed them -- probably for a better price than what we paid Lowe's. Michael Chapman has replaced doors & windows for us & I think highly of him -- he is always on time, extremely polite, & very meticulous; he gets FOUR STARS.

Glen’s note: I also have Pella windows & have found it worthwhile to visit the Pella showroom at 801 Hanover Drive, #600, Grapevine, Texas, phone 682.223.5656 to look at & discuss window & door options directly with Pella employees. Once you've made a selection you can decide separately who you want to do the installation -- the Pella installers are excellent but they are also not allowed to handle anything other that what they're installing (e.g. I had to repaint my window sills to match the new windows because the sills were not part of the installation & so the Pella installers could not paint them even though they were painting the newly-installed trim around the windows).

Roofing

A friendly reminder when putting on a new roof: When your old roof comes off that is the perfect time to a) blow new insulation into your attic, b) move any wires on the outside of your house into the attic, c) do any ventilation/electrical/cable work in the attic that needs to be done – if you can work out the logistics with your roofer.

Submitted on 8/19/22 by Mike Swain: I had Roofsimple replace my roof and worked with Micah Willard, a neighbor, throughout the process. Micah and the Roofsimple team provided thorough, quality work which began with Micah’s inspection of not just the roof but the entire property for any hail damage that might be covered by insurance. Micah assisted with the initial contact to the insurance company, was present during the insurance field adjuster’s inspection, communicated with the claims adjuster as needed to expedite the processing of my claim, and managed the job to completion. The Roofsimple team completed the work as scheduled and did a quality job. Based on the exceptional customer service and quality of work, I will definitely use Roofsimple again.

Triumph Roofing and Construction — Alan Wuebbles at 469-298-9968 Submitted by Amanda Nicholls who said: Just FYI for anyone still needing roof repair— our roof was replaced this week by Triumph Roofing and Construction, and they definitely exceeded all of my (relatively high) expectations.

They also appreciated the chance to work in a neighborhood with trees! Feel free to contact me for more information, or call Alan Wuebbles directly at 469-298-9968. Roofing companies have justifiably low reputations, and I found this one to be the exception.

Submitted 6_09 by Doug Wheeler who said: For over 10 years I have contacted Bartlett Tree Experts whenever my Live Oaks have had any kind of problem. The Bartlett representative, currently Gareth Harrier has responded promptly & each time recommended a successful treatment. Gareth will also drop by at no charge just to check on the trees if I call. I also use Bartlett each year to give my trees a time-released fertilizer -- I had to plant trees so I'm trying to catch up with my neighbors.

Dirt Work, Dan Escamella — 214.213.8089

Twice I've had Dan come in to correct it (it changed after I removed some trees) & twice he got my backyard to drain properly at a cost I thought was reasonable. He uses high quality sandy loam & has a good crew who works efficiently. He doesn't charge for an estimate.

Burris Tree Service & Stump Removal — Donnie Burris at 469.939.3344
Submitted by Debbie Okle who said: I wanted to give a recommendation to our neighbors on someone we used last week to grind out 3 large crepe myrtle stumps. We had checked in to renting the equipment and doing it ourselves. Before doing so, we decided to call around after searching on Google to get a couple of estimates. The first company we contacted was Burris Tree Service around 5pm on Wednesday afternoon. He said he was just a few blocks away and would come right over and give us an estimate. He showed up with his grinder at our house within 10 minutes. He gave us a bid of $150. That was what it would have cost for us to rent the equipment for a full day. He did the job right then and was finished in less than 30 minutes. We were very pleased with his service and my husband was very happy he didn't have to go rent the equipment in Carrollton, load it in and out of his truck and do the work which he says would have taken him hours to do.

Scott West, tree and sprinkler services — Call Scott or Brad at 469-853-3685
Submitted by unknown: Scott West, our sprinkler guy, is now offering tree service. His crew quickly and cleanly took out a dying tree. The price was quite reasonable.
