"The first red flag is representing himself as Steve Perez on Angi’s list when in fact his name is Ziv. There’s the hard sell and false promises (finish a kitchen remodel in 5-6 weeks) when it took 4 months. Unprofessionalism is an understatement. He communicates through texting like a teenager and screams at the client when in fact errors are his fault or his sub-contractors. We provided appliance specs very early in the process and the electrician still made errors for which Ziv wanted us to pay for. The cabinets delivered were incomplete which he blamed on us. He demanded a final payment and threatened to put a lean on our house when the work was incomplete per the contract. Then Subs starting calling demanding payment which was resolved after we provided cashed checks to Sonart Construction. Don’t believe what I say. Read the BBB review complaints for a well-deserved F rating."

WE ARE A STATE LICENSED CERTIFIED GLASS AND GLAZER, SPECIALIZING IN ALL TYPES OF IMPACT WINDOWS , DOORS AND SCREENING. WE HAVE 4 REPAIR TRUCKS ON THE ROAD DAILY AND 6 INSTALLATION CREWS WORKING M - S.

"Very unprofessional, Very unreliable, Lacks integrity, truthfulness and trustworthiness. Will not recommend or hire again. I have done some minor repairs of windows before with this company and was not a big deal , did not involve major installation or deposit , so never had a problem. However this time around I paid for impact windows installation that was supposed to be completed in 6- 8 weeks. Right from after the deposit was paid, communication stopped. I heard nothing more from them regarding permit filing and all the paper works for HOA even though I paid for permit. I had to call their office several times without any response. After 8 weeks there was still no response. It was not until I asked for a refund that Mike eventually hurriedly sent some people (not sure if they work for him) to come and install the windows. Half way through the installation , I noticed they had not installed the screens , asked them where the screens where, they said they forgot to bring it, called Mike , only to learn the screens where yet to be shipped and the man from the warehouse will be installing the screen when it arrives. It was unbelievable! I told them I will never allow that. Finally the installers came back the next day and installed the screens. Then I asked for the inspection papers and time. Another lies and lies of dates that never materialized. I eventually called the inspectors office , only to learn permit was not fully completed or picked up and so work cannot be inspected until their expired documents were submitted. I followed up with Mike again until the inspection was finally done . Time frame was 4 months. It was a horrible experience. Every conversation was unreliable and untruthful. Will not recommend to anyone that values Professionalism and integrity in business. This was a nightmare!"

"DO NOT HIRE – NIGHTMARE EXPERIENCE WITH MIKE GOMEZ / BLUEPRINT WINDOWS LLC My experience with Mike Gomez of Blueprint Windows LLC was a complete disaster and should serve as a serious warning to others. In January 2025, I hired him to install hurricane impact windows. After obtaining HOA approval, I paid a $9,000 deposit on March 10 — which he promptly cashed. After that, everything unraveled. Despite my repeated efforts and full compliance with city and HOA requirements, Mr. Gomez failed to pull the required permits. Worse, he attempted to have me, the homeowner, listed as the contractor — something the City of Plantation confirmed was improper and unacceptable. Over the next several months, I accommodated every request and delay. I provided notarized authorizations, offered to meet him at the permitting office, and even agreed to revised payment terms. Yet, he never delivered any materials, never pulled permits, and never began any work. Instead, he sent a threatening email demanding another $9,108.44, claiming my $9,000 deposit was forfeited and threatening to place a lien on my property and sue me. No work was performed. No materials were received. This is not professional conduct — it’s coercion. Avoid this contractor at all costs."

FAQs for wood stairs and railings installation and replacement projects in Tamarac, FL

A pro can set an attic ladder in two to four hours, including framing adjustments and finish work. Complex installs—like cutting a brand-new opening or trimming joists—land toward the high end of that window. Tackle the job yourself and plan on a full day, plus an extra pair of hands, since one mis-measurement can slow everything down.

Local building codes drive this decision. If your ceiling has a fire-rating requirement, the ladder must match it to maintain that protective barrier. A rated unit slows flame spread between the attic and living space, buying valuable evacuation time and limiting damage. 

Because codes vary by city and even by neighborhood, check with the permitting office or ask your contractor before you order the ladder.

Aluminum ladders are light, rust-proof, and easy to maneuver, making them a practical choice for most households. Wood models handle higher weight loads and can match traditional trim if aesthetics top your list, but they’re heavier and need occasional upkeep. 

Compare the ladder’s duty rating, your ceiling height, and how often you’ll use it. The best option is the one that balances safety, convenience, and the look you want without stretching the budget.
