OUTDOOR SPECIALTIES

Description of Work: Recently I required delivery of gravel and mulch to complete a landscaping project. Previously I had been declined by two contractors, both stating that my driveway was too small to allow their trucks access without damaging the driveway itself and areas of the lawn. Outdoor Specialties was the only one in the area with both large and smaller capacity dump trucks, the latter being just right to negotiate my steep and narrow driveway.

Description of Work: Larry Kidd was hired to replace an exterior door and frame at the side entrance. Removal of the old door and frame revealed extensive water damage to the sill and floor joists. An under house inspection also revealed that the main water line from the meter was leaking into the crawl space. Larry replaced the leaky section of copper pipe and then proceeded to jack up the floor joists. He replaced the rotted wood with salt treated lumber, repaired the joist damage. Then he installed the new door and frame perfectly! After this he inspected the roof over the side entrance and found that the water damage was caused by carpenter ants under the shingles. Larry poisoned the ant colony and removed damaged shingles and plywood. He then professionally re-roofed the side entrance.
