"I can't say enough good things about Spartan Contracting! They took over a renovation project that a previous contractor had left unfinished, and not only did they complete the work, but they improved it beyond my expectations. One of the biggest parts of the project was redoing my staircase, which had been left in an unsafe and non-code-compliant state. Spartan Contracting not only brought it up to code but turned it into a custom-built masterpiece. It truly feels like a work of art in my home. Beyond the staircase, they also worked on my bathroom and other areas, and every aspect of their craftsmanship was top-notch. The team was professional, reliable, and incredibly skilled, but what really stood out to me was their thoughtfulness and attention to detail. They included me in every decision, making sure I was comfortable with each step of the process, and they were always responsive to my texts and calls. Finding a contractor who is not just technically skilled but also artistic and communicative is rare, and Spartan Contracting is exactly that. Their work speaks for itself, and after this experience, they will likely be my go-to contractor for future home renovation projects. If you're looking for a team that delivers quality, integrity, and craftsmanship, I highly recommend Spartan Contracting!"

"The deck foundation is great. The stairs to the deck are great. The decking boards are spaced so close together that they didn't drain. It's taken fall, winter, and summer for the boards to shrink enough to drain water. The bench seats are about 4" too high, as even a 6-foot man's toes barely touch the deck. The seats are not deep enough, as they cut you off at the knees when sitting and dangling your feet because of the height. The support boards are not faced for ease of snow shoveling. The bench backs are too high and not angled back enough for comfort. The 2x6 bench beams have split where they are screwed to the floor. Chad Staats said he would fix the seats last October (2018), and I waited on this review until he fixed the problem. It's now 8 months later (August 2019), Chad still is "too busy" to fit me in, and in fact doesn't even answer my emails, so I have to find a contractor that really knows what they are doing to fix this problem, at a considerable cost to me. Apparently, this was his first deck with benches. No, I would not hire Perfection Home Repairs, Chad Staats, again, unless he had evidence of previous experience in what I was hiring him for."

"We hired Jon’s company to sand and stain our deck in June 2017. Very long story short, we tried every way to get ahold of Jon to talk about the work that was done for a year and a half. The office manager would always say she will have him call, but we never received a call. The deck was done incorrectly and was never finished. It’s now green, rotting and will most likely have to be replaced. Not only was in raining that day but it had been raining for weeks prior. It clearly states on the 124 ounce can of Superdeck Transparent oil based Stain, to NOT apply “…if rain is likely to occur.” Now, here we are at the end of 2018, we finally get a call from Jon and he threatens us with lawsuits/liens/collections etc at Christmas time, after we have spent as much as we can afford on our 3 daughters for Christmas. He repeatedly tells us how busy his company is, which we don’t care because that has nothing to do with us. He says that his company is full of “professionals” but he was not willing to do anything to rectify my situation except gives us $100 off. Gee, thanks a lot, Jon. The following week, after an EXTREMELY rude phone call from Jon and his accountant Linda, who was yelling at me in the background, we paid him, so we never have to speak to him or his staff of “professionals” again. It is obvious that APEX is a poorly managed business at this point. Next summer we will be re-doing the work on our deck ourselves, correctly and professionally. We do not recommend this company to anyone unless you are into horrible customer service and enjoy being on a back burner. Also, just a side note, if I would have checked court view first, and read the reviews with a reoccurring theme, we WOULD NOT have hired him. That was my bad for not taking time to investigate who I was actually hiring."

We are a husband wife team who have been in the construction field for over 30 years. Have been in the home inspection business for over 18 years inspecting over 6,000 homes/businesses in the State of Alaska.
"I have now used Mike and Pamela at Fairview Consultants twice. The first inspection, they saved me from a terrible initial inspection conducted by another company. They found multiple issues with my property and were able to help me rectify those issues with the seller - a huge relief as I was buying sight unseen. The second and most recent inspection went phenomenally. They pointed out even the most minor defects that could result in potential issues down the line. Mike and Pamela truly work for their customer and their pricing is extremely competitive for the thorough work they do. I highly recommend this team for any future inspections!"

Look for specific performance issues that suggest sensor problems. If your garage door begins to close but then reverses immediately, refuses to close completely, or operates inconsistently, your sensors may be failing. Check the indicator lights on your sensors—properly functioning units typically display steady lights (often one red and one green). Flashing or unlit indicators generally signal problems. If adjusting and cleaning the sensors doesn't resolve these issues, replacement is likely necessary.
The lifespan of garage door sensors varies significantly based on usage patterns, environmental conditions, and product quality. Factors that can reduce longevity include exposure to moisture, accumulation of dust and debris, physical impacts, and electrical surges. Regular maintenance—particularly keeping the sensor lenses clean and ensuring proper alignment—can help maximize their functional life. When sensors begin to fail repeatedly despite maintenance efforts, replacement typically offers the most reliable solution.
Compatibility between new sensors and existing garage door openers depends on several factors. Many current sensor models are designed to work with older opener systems, but it's essential to verify compatibility before purchase. Your opener's user manual or manufacturer's website should list compatible sensor models. In some cases, adapters or additional wiring may be necessary to connect newer sensors to older systems. Consulting with a garage door professional can help identify the most compatible replacement options for your specific setup.
Postponing the replacement of malfunctioning sensors creates significant safety hazards. Without proper sensor function, your garage door may close unexpectedly on vehicles, possessions, pets, or family members. The potential for property damage and personal injury makes timely sensor replacement a priority. Additionally, operating a door with faulty sensors places extra strain on the opener mechanism, potentially leading to more extensive and expensive repairs in the future.
Industry experts recommend inspecting and testing your garage door sensors approximately every three months. A simple test involves initiating door closure and then waving an object (like a broom handle) through the sensor path. The door should immediately stop and reverse if sensors are functioning correctly. Regular testing helps identify potential issues before they lead to complete sensor failure or safety hazards. If your door fails this test, first try cleaning the sensor lenses and checking their alignment before considering replacement.
