House trouble never picks a good day

A drafty window, a furnace that quits, a slow drain, a tired roof, a power bill you'd like solar to shrink, or ants in the pantry. Find the right help for each one here.

What you can sort out here

Windows Installation

Foggy panes and cold drafts mean worn seals. New windows keep rooms warm and quieter.

HVAC: Heating & Cooling

Warm air in summer or a furnace that won't light? Get the system tested, not guessed.

Plumbing Services

Dripping taps and slow drains get worse behind walls. Catch them while they're small.

Solar Panel Installation

Your energy bills and roof direction show if panels will pay off before you buy them.

Roofing Services

Lifted shingles, ceiling stains and grit in gutters each point to a different repair.

Pest Control

Scratching at night or sawdust by a door? Name the pest first, then pick a treatment.

Worth knowing before you spend

Old windows leak money

Hold the back of your hand near the frame on a windy day. If you feel air moving, your heating and cooling are slipping outside. Sometimes fresh seals are enough. Frames that have warped or rotted need a full replacement.

A roof gives warnings first

Dark streaks, a sagging line along the ridge or daylight showing in the attic all come before the first drip indoors. Take a slow walk around the house after heavy rain. A small repair now costs far less than new decking later.

Homeowners say

A few words from people who started a home project here.

Something was running around above my bedroom and I had no clue if it was mice or squirrels. The pest control page told me which signs to check, so I knew what to ask before anyone came out.

HomeownerPest control, noises in the attic

That room was freezing every winter. I finally understood the difference between a full replacement and an insert window, and I went with the one that suited an older house like mine.

HomeownerWindows, drafty living room

Mine shut off after a few minutes each time. I signed up, described what was going on and got a clear picture of the likely causes. The repair visit made far more sense after that.

HomeownerHeating, furnace kept cutting out

Nobody pushed panels on me, which I liked. The questions about shade and monthly usage showed that half my roof was a poor fit. That saved me from chasing the wrong setup.

Questions that come up a lot

Leaks, drafts, odd noises and unwelcome bugs tend to raise the same few worries. If yours isn't answered here, write in and ask.

Ask a question

Not always. One wet spot near a vent or chimney is often a flashing repair. Leaks in several rooms point to something bigger.

Twice a year works well: once before the cold months and once before the hot ones. Swap the air filter in between.

That thud is called water hammer. Fast-closing valves, loose pipe straps or high water pressure can cause it, and the jolt strains joints over time.

Partly. Shade cuts how much power the panels make, sometimes by a lot. A slope that stays clear at midday works best.

It depends on the method. Baits and gels rarely need you to leave. Sprays and foggers can mean a few hours out of the house.

Most standard windows go in within about an hour each, so a full house often takes a day or two. Custom sizes add waiting time before install day.
