"These guys are awesome! They went above and beyond to not only do the work right, but also to conceal the lines running up our house in gutter. They couldn't find gutter that matched what was on the house so they went out and found paint and painted the gutter to match perfectly. Whereas most contractors we have to continually watch and ask to change things, these guys did things right without us having to ask. Their installation crew was awesome and braved our 140 degree attic for three days to get the job done. They promised they would have the unit installed and running on a Friday and stayed until 9:30pm to get the job finished.

If you want an HVAC system, call these guys. They also had the cheapest bid. We put AC in our upstairs and our entire house stays cool now.

I really can't say enough about these guys."

"The primary problem I needed to have addressed was my laptop, which would only boot to a yellow blank screen and I was looking for a local service in Huntsville so I could drop it off if necessary.  Another major consideration was that North Alabama Technical Services was available on Sunday, which was when the service was needed.  Jim suggested some steps to clear the problem, and I was able to get the laptop to boot properly.  There were operating problems with both the laptop and my desktop computers and I was sent software to allow remote access.  Jim, at North Alabama Technical Services, was extremely professional and capable in correcting the problems remotely.  The scan of the desktop took almost 4 1/2 hours to complete, and identified some 77 infected files.  Before the scans were initiated, a number of programs were identified that had unknown sources, and were deleted.  When we began the process, I was on the phone to initiate the remote access and was impressed with the professionalism and competence as Jim talked me through the processes on both computers, and showed me what he was doing.  We disconnected during the long duration scan, but I was able to monitor the progress on my monitors and Jim called me back at the end of the scan to go over the wrap up processes.  He showed me that my 2 MB of RAM could be upgraded to 4MB and found the appropriate memory on Amazon for under $20, and loaded 3 recommended scanning programs on my computers with 30 day free trials and provided costs of the programs, if I were to purchase.
I will definitely use this service again, if required, and would recommend North Alabama Technical Services for anyone needing computer services.

"We are pleased to recommend Triangle Reconstruction with our highest praise. It seems too simple to say that they do what they said they’d do, but that’s exactly what happened. Our home is around 50 years old. Ours was a large job - around a month and $30,000. We had Triangle Reconstruction come in after another moisture company provided mold remediation and a humidifier. I wish we’d contacted TR to start with. We provided TR with a structural engineering report. They created a plan to exactly meet all of engineer’s concerns. TR used temporary supports and replaced seal plates, girders, and joists for over half of our home. In addition, they poured footers and built new columns. They also added a few additional girders to firm up our floors. They removed and replaced our insulation. They sealed our porch and crawl space, replaced our vapor barrier, and installed a moisture meter. They wrapped our electrical cords and hung them. The people at TR are remarkable. A+++++"

"One morning I noticed water on the basement floor, right below where the main line comes into the house. When it rains, this area is the only place where the basement leaks (pretty good a house 80+ years old!), but it wasn't raining. By turning off water to the house and monitoring the meter readingsl, I figured the leak was outside somewhere.  Next I called the water authority to have someone turn the water off.  I went online to Angie's List  and called a highly rated local plumber. Next day he came and dug around outside of the wall; he said water appeared to be coming from somewhere up  the line, but it would be almost impossible to figure out where without a lot of digging . Ok, so the whole line from street meter to the house would have to be replaced. He gave me an estimate. Next I looked at Angie's List ratings again, choosing Ostrom and one other company to get estimates. After I called them Wayne from Ostrom came by later in the afternoon, whereas the other folks couldn't make it for two more days, and we needed this problem to be resolved!
Wayne was easy to talk and listen to. He answered any questions I had--even put on shoe  covers before entering the house to protect our floors. I learned from him that we could use a hose between our good neighbor's spigot and ours to use  her water until a new main was put in. (This ended up working just fine.) Before the end of the day I received a detailed estimate via email which was almost the same as the first one I got from the plumber who did the  digging. The third company I called finally sent someone to look at the situation and give an estimate, but I didn't receive anything until the next afternoon. By that time I had decided to hire Ostrom because, for about the same cost I could have a team instead of one plumber do the work. From there the process was smooth and easy (though we had to wait until city workers came to bust up the sidewalk segment next to our meter for access), from making a down payment through scheduling the work until November 24, 2015, when Wayne and two others showed up and went to work installing a new water line. They worked from mid morning until mid afternoon. Once finished, Wayne showed me what they had done, including new  piping from the new cutoff up to a cold water line inside the basement. Our problem was fixed just two days before Thanksgiving, so no worries over the holidays. I recommend Ostrom heartily to any who need plumbing help!

"They completed the heat pump installation work but did not come back to install a new filter rack system. I have contacted Mr Tilley three times for him to schedule the work. He came to my house but after two weeks no work has been scheduled. I am disabled and cannot change the filter without a great deal of discomfort, so I really need the work done. Update: The service took about an hour to complete."

"I hired this company to replace a furnace and air conditioner in July. It took several weeks and phone calls to repair a problem with the installation. It then took a couple of weeks for them to return to set the unit up for winter. They continually used "were so darn busy as an excuse. They also agreed to install a garbage disposal even though they stated they usually did not do residential plumbing. They never found the time. So imagine my surprise when I saw they were advertising a residential plumbing special Angie's List. I have made a number of requests for the warranties for my units, to no avail. They may give you a good price, but after that, good luck."

"CHW was very responsive to our urgent need! We filed a claim the evening prior when we notices our A/C was blowing warm air into the rooms. Then by 8AM the next day, we had a call from the service technician saying he was on his way to address the issue! CHW worked with the technician to find out the compressor was the culprit and approved it's repair! Great customer service for a family in need during the hot south central Texas summer!"
