"I went through like 3 other chimney groups including Chimney Sweep Masters and they all gave me conflicting information. Emerald City Chimney on the other hand was honest and thoroughly dismantled all the b******* the others tried to sell me. That’s what happens when you actual experienced workers take the lead instead of salespeople. It took a while to figure out exactly what the best approach would be, but in the end I got a job done for like $650 when the others wanted like $3000. I bought a custom fit chimney cap myself for like $200 I think and then had emerald city retrofit and install it for $450."

I take time to walk my customers through the process and explain the different styles as well as a straight forward quote that makes sense. I always make sure the job is completed correctly even if it runs over the estimated time and use top notch anchors to make sure I produce a solid project every time.
"The job was accomplished & finished in August 2021. He was very respectful & enthusiastic to do our project as it was a custom design job. It was an intriguing job since it involved various metal angles & trying to adhere to code requirements. There was an initial railing done, but we were not happy with the fact that it wasn’t adhering to code standards. He created a new railing to replace the initial one. We are extremely pleased with the job he did. He’s young, professional & really worked with us and the initial design that we intended to have completed for our main floor renovation. He’s very flexible & great with any creative input you may express to him. When we will need future Iron work done we feel extremely confident that he will be the one to do our future projects. Thank you Max! We are ever so grateful!"

Our company does retrofit window replacement. We have been in business since 1990.We have a 5 star rating and thousands of satisfied customers. NO SALESMEN! You'll deal directly with me the owner. You'll get a better product for less money. With windows it's all about heat loss and they measure that with what they call a U-Factor, the lower the number the better. Being a PUD approved contractor they require a U-Factor of .30. We can get that number down to a .21 for open windows and .18 for non opening windows. A third better but does not cost a third more. And if you live where there is a lot of noise it will almost eliminate it coming through the windows!
"Mike Smith is a very nice and with rich experience guy. He gave me a lot of good advice. His workers worked professionally and cleaned up all the work areas. I am very satisfied with the job. And I will refer him to my friends."

Washington Energy Services has been helping homeowners throughout Western Washington save money and live more comfortably since 1957. As one of the largest home improvement companies in the Seattle-Tacoma area, we are able to provide you with top-quality products and services, installed by our professional craftsmen. Our free in-home estimates ensure you get the right product for your home. We'll be with you through all aspects of your project from the purchase decision, expert installation, quality maintenance and service, and even warranty work should you need it. We assist with permits and rebates, too. Give Washington Energy Services a call today to learn more or to schedule your service.
"This review is long overdue in my praise of Washington Energy Services for their customer service, pricing and workmanship ! My first interaction was in 1999 when they installed windows throughout my house. They are still in excellent condition. I might note I called them over 20 years later to inquire on how I could repair a broken slider and they sent someone right out, charging a very nominal amount to repair it. In 2020, I needed to replace my hot water tank, and the extremely knowledgeable Christy presented several options, answering my many questions. I settled on one with a booster that seemed to best fit my needs. Finally, in December 2023, I purchased a new gas furnace from WES. I had a minor issue with a fan switch and they responded quickly to rectify the situation. Within the past two months, I seemed to be having an issue with my thermostat (something they had not installed), and the manager, Greg, came out twice with his crew to explore the problem. Today they installed a new thermostat FREE OF CHARGE! Their excellent response and customer service is beyond any company I have hired. And I particularly love that they are family owned and have been around for decades. Their employees seem to be there for the long haul, which speaks highly of the owner. I refer all my friends and family and I won't go anywhere else for services that they offer. Many thanks to the staff I have interacted with over the past 25 years!"

A quality motorized pergola has a lifespan of 15 to 20 years with proper maintenance. The structural components often last longer than the mechanical elements, which may require servicing or replacement after seven to 10 years of regular use. Aluminum and vinyl structures typically outlast wood in challenging climates. Overall, though, regular maintenance significantly extends the lifespan of motors and moving parts.
For many homeowners, the added convenience and functionality of motorized pergolas justify their higher cost. Standard motorized systems cost $50 to $70 more per square foot than fixed pergolas. This premium provides significant benefits in weather adaptability and ease of use. Homeowners who frequently entertain outdoors or live in areas with unpredictable weather often find the additional investment worthwhile for the extended usability of their outdoor space.
Maintenance requirements vary by material and complexity but include seasonal cleaning and occasional system checks. Expect to spend $2 to $5 per square foot for professional cleaning services. Annual inspection of motors and moving components is recommended, with service visits costing $150 to $300. Aluminum and vinyl structures require minimal maintenance beyond cleaning, while wood demands regular sealing or staining to prevent deterioration.
The complete process spans anywhere from a few hours to several days to install a pergola. Custom designs may require additional manufacturing time, extending the timeline by several weeks. The actual on-site installation takes between two and five days, depending on complexity and size. Weather conditions, permit processing times, and contractor availability can all affect scheduling. Planning your project during less busy seasons may result in faster completion.
While the cost to build a pergola starts at $3,000 to $5,000, self-installation of motorized systems is not recommended without significant construction and electrical experience. The complexity of these systems requires specialized knowledge for proper function and safety. Incorrect installation can compromise structural integrity, void manufacturer warranties, and create potential hazards. If pursuing a DIY approach, consider hiring professionals for critical electrical components.
