"They did a great job! My roof looks great! Reliable and kept me well informed about everything. They kept cost in mind and cleaned up nicely after themselves. Serge even came out late to tarp the roof until it could get repaired so that I didnâ t have any further damage to the house waiting for the roof. They were very nice to work with. Great people. I canâ t say enough good things about them!"

"Excellent! The Hidden Cove Construction crew was awesome. They did a fantastic job in a really difficult situation. The roof they replaced was underneath a large outdoor deck and there was little room to work. They were up and down multiple ladders for two straight days, working in tight spaces, and finished the job ahead of schedule. I highly recommend them. They are very diligent, dependable, and meticulous. I would hire them again anytime."

After over a decade of working for the man, being my wife's personal handyman and helping people in my sphere of influence fix things around their house, I decided to become my own boss and provide my expertise to the rest of my community! From changing air filters and light bulbs to replacing attic ductwork, semi-finishing attics, putting together furniture, installing outlets, and fixing lawn mower and leaf blowers, if you don't have time to do it, or don't know how, you may have just found the last handyman you'll ever need!
"Honest Review of My Experience I hired Patrick Byer’s with Byer’s Handyman Services to install herringbone tile around my fireplace. Unfortunately, the work was not done correctly, and the quality fell well below expectations. As a result, the tile had to be removed by him and the materials I purchased were thrown away due to improper installation. After multiple attempts to resolve the issue, the handyman eventually agreed to reimburse me for the cost of the materials—but only after I made it clear I was prepared to pursue legal action through small claims court. I’m sharing this experience so that others are aware and can make informed decisions when hiring for similar work. This review is based entirely on my personal experience and the facts of what occurred. To note, I have used him multiple times over the past year and have never had a problem until this job. He needs to stick with installing light fixtures versus doing detailed work like herringbone tile. It is my opinion that he should have never accepted this job."

Wooden replacement windows have an impressive lifespan, typically lasting up to 45 years or more with proper maintenance. Regular care, including painting or staining every few years and prompt repairs of any moisture issues, will maximize their durability. Wood windows outlast vinyl alternatives, which need replacement after 20 to 30 years. The specific wood species and local climate conditions also influence longevity, with hardwoods and moderate climates offering the best performance.
Wooden windows generally provide better natural insulation than vinyl windows, though the difference depends largely on the overall window construction. Wood offers superior thermal resistance properties, helping maintain indoor temperatures more effectively. However, modern vinyl windows with quality weatherstripping and multi-pane glass can perform comparably. The most significant energy efficiency factors include proper installation, glass type (double or triple-pane), gas fills between panes, and weatherstripping quality—regardless of frame material.
Wooden windows require regular upkeep to maintain their beauty and functionality. You'll need to inspect them annually for signs of moisture damage, peeling finish, or deteriorating seals. Typically, exterior surfaces need repainting or restaining every three to five years, depending on sun exposure and weather conditions. Interior surfaces generally require less frequent treatment. Additionally, hardware may need occasional lubrication, and weatherstripping should be replaced when showing signs of wear to maintain energy efficiency.
For a standard wooden window installation, professional contractors typically require about two to four hours per window. This timeframe includes removing the existing window, preparing the opening, installing the new unit, and ensuring proper sealing and finishing. Factors that can extend this timeline include discovering hidden structural issues, complex trim work, or challenging access points. For most homes with multiple window replacements, the entire project might span one to three days depending on the number of windows.
Replacing a single wooden window is entirely feasible and makes perfect sense when only one window shows damage or deterioration. However, if multiple windows are aging or showing similar wear patterns, a complete replacement often proves more economical in the long run. Window contractors typically offer better per-unit pricing for multiple installations, and replacing all windows simultaneously ensures consistent appearance, energy performance, and warranty coverage. Consider your budget, the condition of remaining windows, and your long-term plans for the property.
