"Plank flooring installation was poorly done with hammer damage in a bathroom, which I had them replace the plank, but left a second damaged plank in the same bathroom. Also, did not measure correctly as there's a half inch space between where the tile plank was placed and the end of the room. Also, had a plumber doing work in my kitchen and he urged Stephen to add wall molding around the bathroom walls, which Stephen purchased and installed, which made a difference. is how Stephen hed to be told what to do (and urged) while doing this job by someone who's profession is very different, but knows more about quality than Stephen did/does. What stood out, also, is that Stephen brought in someone he was training to do this work, but stayed on the phone talking about personal matters, e.g., what he's paying this person per week, etc. When I suggested that he take calls like this in his truck, he did, but left the trainee fully unsupervised. Stephen, also, saw both bathrooms and suggested that I (aka: he) paint the tiles, bathtub, floors, tile on walls, etc. He did the half bathroom first and it looked good. A few days later, he asked the trainee to paint the main bathroom tile and used a different product, which left a huge mess on the hardwood floors and left hardened peaks on the wall tile and bathroom floor, the sink, the counters, etc. This second (cheaper) product left the main bathroom a mess and the paint doesn't stick to the tile, as you can see the many gaps and paint removed from one end to another end. Would I used Geaux Flooring Direcct, again? Not a chance! No. No. No. Very, very sorry I used this company and urge others to hire a company with staff who know what they're doing."

"I’m not a fan of writing bad reviews but as so many of us depend on the reviews of others, I feel it’s important to share my experience. I hope I’m the odd home owner but here is the gist of the story. After the installers finished sealing the attic, and before they blew in the insulation I wanted to inspect the work. I have roughly 25 ceiling fixtures, and within a short period of time I discovered 17 fixtures were untouched, along with many joints. The installers followed behind sealing all the untouched fixtures and joints I found, but as I’m no expert, I was concerned. I decided to call the company where I informed them of the deficiencies, they immediately sent someone over. Back into the attic we went where we were found another fixture and interior wall top plates untouched. Ultimately the job wasn’t completed as initially agreed. None of the top plates on the outside walls were sealed, which were specially discussed during the inspection. I was informed those areas were difficult to get too. If you decide to use their services be willing to get dirty and verifying their work or accept the work may not have been completed. The installers were nice and professional and did a great job cleaning up. Unfortunately, I’ll need to hire another company to seal the outside wall top plates. They did add extra insulation at no charge. I hope this helps"

"Mr. Barrett was sensational. My home is 35 years old, and the faucet handle was so badly corroded that it was difficult even to turn off the water. In spite of the corrosion and difficulty in removing the old fixture and installing the new one, Mr. Barrett never lost his patience and continued to work on the fixture at a time when most plumbers probably would have given up and tried to sell me lots of expensive new piping. I used Handyman Barrett for the first time just one week ago for an entirely different project, and I will certainly call him again for any home projects."

Yes, insulating an unfinished basement delivers meaningful benefits even if you don't plan to finish the space. Proper insulation reduces heat transfer through basement walls, which can account for up to 30% of a home's total energy loss.
This improvement enhances comfort throughout your home while potentially reducing energy costs. Insulation also helps manage moisture levels, protecting your home's structure and improving indoor air quality.
Rigid foam board and spray foam insulation provide superior moisture resistance for basement applications. These materials create effective vapor barriers while delivering high R-values per inch of thickness. Rigid foam boards resist water absorption and can withstand occasional dampness, while spray foam creates an airtight seal that blocks humidity infiltration.
For basements in humid climates or with moisture concerns, these options outperform fiberglass or wool alternatives.
Insulating basement walls provides the greatest benefit by reducing heat transfer through your foundation. This approach helps maintain consistent temperatures throughout your home and keeps floors above the basement warmer during cold weather.
Ceiling insulation might be appropriate if you specifically want to isolate the basement from living spaces above. In most cases, addressing the rim joists and exterior walls delivers the best performance for energy efficiency and moisture management.
Many building codes require vapor barriers when insulating below-grade spaces like basements. These barriers help control moisture migration through foundation walls and floors. Certain insulation types, including rigid foam and spray foam, provide inherent vapor barrier properties. When using fiberglass or wool insulation, a separate vapor barrier becomes necessary. Always check local building codes for specific requirements in your area.
Signs that basement insulation needs replacement include persistent cold spots, unexplained increases in energy bills, visible moisture damage, musty odors, or mold growth. Physical deterioration, such as compression, sagging, or discoloration, also indicates potential problems.
In older homes with outdated insulation materials, upgrading to modern options with higher R-values can significantly improve performance. When in doubt, professional inspection can help determine whether repair or replacement represents the best approach.
