Question: Jim,
I'm looking for a recommendation. I have a stucco home, built in the 1940s, with add-on exterior storm windows. At some point, frames were built around the windows to accommodate the storms. The frames were bolted into the stucco.
I'm going to either be replacing the windows, or having interior storms installed, but before I do either I need to find someone who is experienced working with stucco to remove the storm window frames. I expect some stucco repair will be needed once the frames are off because they have been water traps over the years.
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Greg
Answer: Hi Greg, This company would be perfect for that purpose.

Question: I am looking for a good mason who can do both concrete and block work, and who will work in the Canandaigua area. I need to repair an exposed foundation wall that has shifted (will require some jacking in the under-the-house garage), repoint the opposite foundation wall, and replace a garage apron and improve drainage. All of these problems are related. Any recommendations appreciated.
Answer: Hi Rich, These guys are real good at that kind of repair.

Question: My question is:
I live in West Webster not to far off the Lake up on a Bluff in an older housing development. My house was built in 1955, Ranch, 2100 sq ft.
My question is:
I have read that a good heat pump along with the back up of Central (Gas) Heating and also a 13 Seer Air-conditioning system will save money.
The premise is that the Heat Pump will run in the moderate weather for both heat and AC and the Gas heating system will only employ when it is extremely cold and the AC will only employ in extreme heat.
Is this correct and is it worth the additional cost of the Heat Pump?
Please reply ASAP.

Answer: Hi Pete, You did your homework and described the process perfectly. The only problem is the difference between the price of gas and the price of electricity. You would be running an air conditioner either forward or backward most of the year. What happens to your regular electric bills in the summer when the a/c is on? The cost of equipment is also more. I am not convinced.

Question: Hi: We have a 1840's federal cream city brick with a cobblestone basement. Recently the walls sprouted leaks. Can you tell us how to stop this? It just started recently. Thank you!
Answer: Hi Jennie, It's gutters and grading.

Question: Jim, You were kind enough to answer my question on my outside gas lamp Sunday. You said it most probably is spiders that is causing the malfunction. I cannot find any guides to disassembling the light to clean as you suggested. It is an old charmglow and the internet shows nothing. Can you suggest a business or person that knows something about this? I appreciate any help you can offer. Thanks Gary Snyder
Answer: Hi Gary, That is a tough one, I do not know the answer to that question, however I would call RG&E and see who they recommend. Try calling Tim Malone at Crossfield Heating, 872-4420.
