Get matched with top hot tub or spa installers and replacers in Molalla, OR

"My partner noticed that the water was cold when he went to add chemicals. I called Oregon Hot Tub Repair, as that is what kind of spa we have and for 2 calls they kept telling me to "burp" the tub, and gave me a laundry list of things to do in order to do that. I would call back to ensure that we were doing the right things and they never answered. So, I called Taylor/NW Spa Maintenance. He said he could be out the very next day! What a relief! He was GREAT!! He only spent something like 15-20 minutes and he diagnosed the problem immediately. A mother board. The Spa is 11 years old and I have not had a single problem with it. Taylor showed me the mother board and explained how that could happen: age/condensation. He will order another one and have it installed by the first of the week. He said the mother boards run about $350. Was very thankful he came out so quickly....the next day and that he was done in about 20 minutes. I will definitely hire him from now on for all my Hot Tub maintenance!"

"Background:
I picked the wrong type duct cleaing service.  Subsequently I have learned tthere are two main types of duct cleaning services... and I have found they are not equal in their cleaning ability. 
The first type uses a truck mounted large industrial-sized vacuum that is attached to the heating system with large flexible fabric 'hoses"  and sucks large volumes of air through the ducts simultaneously as a pneumatic "beater / flailing wand" is manually threaded by the operator though the ducts to loosen dust and debris contained within the ducts.  The wand is flexible and snakes around bends and right angle corners in the ducts.  The loosened dirt is then rapidly drawn out of the duct and into the vacuum bag filters in the truck.  All the vacuum machinery remains outdoors in the street or your driveway.  I've heard this referred to as a "negative pressure" type duct cleaning system.  This system requires somewhat more time to set up and a sizeable investment in equipment.  This is the type cleaning system I assumed would be used... but wasn't.  It was my fault that I was not aware that other types of duct cleaning systems existed... and therefore did not verify what type system that would be used on my job. 
It turns out the second type duct cleaning system is one that uses a rotating brush mounted on the end of long hose attached to a man-portable vacuum cart that is wheeled into and through your home (about the size of a patio barbeque).  The grills on your home's heating outlets and return air inlets are removed and the hose with rotating brush on the end is inserted into each outlet and inlet by the operator.  The hose is then pushed as far down each duct as the hose length will allow (usually 30' to 35' for the 40' hoses commonly used).  The hose typically does not go around right angle bends.  The vacuum hose then sucks up dust and debris loosened by the rotating brush... but only for duct lengths not exceeding the hose access length.    I've heard this referred to as a "roto-brush" type duct cleaning system.  This system requires much less time to set up...a much much smaller investment in equipment and can easily be transported in the back of a family SUV.  This is the type of duct cleaning system that was used on my job... but I wasn't expecting.  Again, this was my problem that I did not verify the type of system to be used. 
Aegis used a roto-brush system which didn't have a vacuum hose length adequate to access the full length of my home's ducts as it turns out.  I was not told of this situation... and the operators themselves may not have been aware of it... although they should have been.  I believe they said their hose was 40' long.  Unknown to me... but discovered a week or so later... large lengths (at least 6' to 8') of my ducts were not cleaned at all due to inadeqate hose length and/or inability to negotiate around duct bends.  Also I found that remaining dust and debris was still visable through the open outlet & inlet ducts immediately upon "completion" of the cleaning job.  I called this to the attention of the operator (while he was still on site)... who then re-cleaned these duct spaces.  This made me wonder what else hadn't been cleaned adequately.  I later found out. 
Although the two operators turning up to do the job were polite and accommodating... they did not impress me as being very professional.  Hip-hop shorts, raggedy T-shirts and flip-flops did not strike me as appropriate dress for a professional service coming into a person's home.  They arrived in an unmarked personal SUV with out-of-state plates (Calif.  I think) with the roto-brush machine loaded in the back.  After being on the job site for a few minutes...one of the two operators said he had a headache and needed to go to a drug store to get some aspirin.  He didn't return until the job was nearly completed by the second operator in a little over an hour or so. 
Their job price was about half of what I have paid in the past for professional duct cleaning by a contractor using a negative pressure duct cleaning system.   I mistakenly assumed I would be getting the same type service... but at half the price.  My error.  In the future I will only engage contractors using the negative pressure type system and specializing in duct cleaning.  To me it's worth the added price given the better results I've experience with negative pressure vacuum systems. 
For those homeowners having duct work compatible with a roto-brush cleaning system (shorter staight duct runs, no sharp duct bends, visibility allowing verification the cleaning has been done adequately, etc.)... I would check out several contractors before selecting one... to find one that is conscientious, professional and effective. 
I did not follow-up with the contractor to complain or request a re-cleaning.  I figured it would not be worth the effort given the nature of their roto-brush system and the hose lengths of their vacuum.  I simply manually vacuumed out the uncleaned sections of duct work myself as best I could... when I later had the furnace taken apart for unrelated repairs.  But, all things considered... I personally will not use Aegis again.

"Called about leak Sunday morning. Plumber came out Monday, determined it needed replacement and notified Choice, who approved claim and permitted plumber to order new water heater. Thursday new water heater was installed. Was kept updated every day by both Choice and the plumber. Workers left my garage clean and I have hot water. Very satisfied and have recommended Choice Home Warranty on the Nextdoor app."

"I hired Cretec five or six years ago to do a new basement floor and front porch re-designed for me. It was a big job, and I was nervous about getting it all done at once. Spencer was very professional, walked me through everything, and kept close communication throughout the project. Their work was fast and efficient. Since then I have hired them several more times to do pathways, new garage floor, patio, they have not failed to impress each time. I have referred them to friends and family who have all had the same result.Work is done correct and professional. Spencer is friendly, a great listener, And smart with design suggestions. cretec is the only concrete company I would use."

"It's a $75 service fee every time they send somebody out. It's cheap, you know it's insurance. They're excellent. I have no problems. I've been with them for years. They're fair. They give you a warranty on the repairs that are made. They're always responsive, I've never had any issues with their punctuality. The only problem I have with them is the wait time. The wait time to get to a human is sometimes extended to 20 or 30 minutes sometimes. They got prompts; you can do everything online, but sometimes you need to talk to a customer service representative about something. It takes so long, you'll get to them and once you get to them they're always responsive it just takes them a long time. I renew every year; it's a one-year renewable."
