"I put in two requests-for-quote on Tuesday 15 January. Within hours, Mr. Handyman of Richmond responded to my requests--and to this date the other two have not. The description by the telephone receptionist impressed me from the beginning: one company, not a contractor with subcontractors, recognizable to any homeowner and recognized in the industry. I accepted the quote, because frankly I was in a hurry to get the job done. The technician did the first job within hours. This included driving out to buy new doorknobs and deadbolts, plus a key-lockable and re-key-able front-door latch and deadbolt set. At the end of the job I had doorknobs that would stay on without coming off in my hand (as the originals did--twice), and four doors all on the same key. I also had a new deadbolt on the garage door and a front door that I could double lock. While he was here I asked him to see to a seam that had opened in some drywall, and remounting a toilet paper dispenser in a bathroom. The second job he finished in about five minutes; the first he agreed to come back for. On the second day he called his office to have them call me--this because I was too far away to hear him knock. So when I let him in, I suggested now would be a good time to install a wireless door chime and ringer set, and to repair a front-porch fixture I had never been able to unscrew. Note: I suggested these extra jobs; he did not push them on me. Except for my having to make two trips to a nearby hardware store to buy some batteries, he did all the work in record time. And because one of these jobs required letting some drywall mud dry before sanding, he was able to complete all these jobs at very little extra charge--because his company charges by the man-hour and materials, whatever the job happens to be. By using his time effectively and efficiently, I saved. The results are everything I could ask for, and getting all these jobs done is a special boon, particularly since I'm planning a long road trip. If I run across any other little thing that needs doing, I'll definitely call Mr. Handyman of Richmond first. I would recommend them without reservation to anyone having a little project."

"I can not emphasize enough the promptness, politeness and professionalism provided by Richard. I had spent the previous day, trying to no avail, to install a double keyed deadbolt for our side garage door. Finally I gave up and came across Home Locksmith USA on Angie's List. I contacted Richard the following Sunday morning about 8:30am and he was here within an hour! His travel time alone was probably somewhere between 30-45 minutes, which should really emphasize his promptness! As he took me through the installation process he explained what he was doing as well as highlighting the steps where I had trouble. He understood it could be tricky which made me feel better. The job he did was AMAZING!! I was so pleased! In addition I was going to have him install a replacement lock/handle for a french door because of a color change. Right away (and before I opened up the packaging), he recognized it was incompatible with the current locking system. Unless I could find the exact match, he recommended not messing with it to avoid more headaches. His honesty in the end saved me even more money! Any locking need, look no further than Richard Baxter!! Thank you Richard for all you did!!"

"I give the very HIGHEST possible rating to Alan Williams, owner and operator of A.W. MASONRY & RESTORATION.  I first heard about his company (and its sterling reputation) through Angie's List.   Sure glad I did!   I would definitely use him again, and highly recommend him to anyone for masonry or concrete work!  He is a "hands-on" guy during the job, does excellent work,  at a great price... and very dependable!

"It went great! I do not live near my father, so we were able to communicate via phone and video to talk about grab bar placement. He was prompt, well spoken, and very helpful!! We look forward to helping us again!"

Bottom portion of plaster wall was once repaired with sheet of drywall. With no meaningful connection between drywall, drywall mud, and true plaster, the weight of the old plaster above, with nothing to hold onto, or to hold it, collapsed.

FAQs for security bars service projects in Richmond, VA

Window security bars create a physical barrier that discourages quick entry, making most intruders move on to an easier target. Properly installed bars can also help keep children and pets from accidental falls, giving homeowners added peace of mind. 

To maximize both safety and security, have a licensed professional install quick-release hardware that meets local egress requirements.

Installing window security bars is legal in most areas, but local building codes often require emergency-egress features and quick-release hardware. Some states and municipalities, including California, Mississippi, and Texas, prohibit permanently closed burglar bars to prevent occupants from becoming trapped in the event of a fire. 

Before installing window security bars, review local and state regulations for setback requirements, operable hardware, and fire safety compliance. This ensures your installation meets legal standards while keeping your home secure and accessible in the event of an emergency.

Window security bars enhance home safety features and appeal to buyers who prioritize protection. Properties with professionally installed window security bars often qualify for lower homeowners insurance premiums, offsetting some of the installation cost. This value boost is most pronounced in neighborhoods with higher crime rates, where buyers feel more secure. 

Choosing custom or decorative bars enhances your home's curb appeal, while quick-release mechanisms maintain emergency access, making your home both more marketable and safer.

To make window bars look attractive, select custom decorative designs that complement your home’s architectural style. Wrought iron bars with scrollwork, floral motifs, or geometric patterns can become an elegant focal point rather than a security eyesore. 

Incorporate planter boxes beneath your windows, allow climbing ivy to soften the lines, or apply a coordinating paint finish to blend bars with exterior colors. You can also install quick-release decorative panels or matching shutters that conceal bars when not in use, achieving both beauty and security.
