I like the quality of their products, and especially the guarantee that comes along with the Karastan.

Glad you had a good experience with Home Advisor. But, people should know that, if you use that service, it is just by pure luck that you will find a good contractor. Home Advisor does not screen contractors in advance. They have almost no advanced information about how reputable or competent the contractor is. Rather, they aggressively market their service to any contractor who will pay them $300 per year plus an additional fee for every lead they provide to the contractor. If you go on their web site and request a project, you will be immediately hounded with numerous phone calls from contractors within a hundred mile radius trying to sell you their services. I personally knew a contractor who got work through Home Advisor, and I wouldn't let that contractor change a light bulb for me. So, good luck in finding a competent contractor using Home Advisor, or other similar services.
