We had an energy audit completed with Zero Draft. They did a thorough inspection of our home to…read moreidentify energy savings and recommendations to improve heating/cooling efficiency. During the inspection they also provided water flow management devices for our showers, replaced bulbs with LED, and installed a smart surge protector in our media room. The report they provided gave us recommendations for insulation, tuneup, and other installations to help improve our HVAC efficiency. The quote included prices and rebates available. We easily selected the options we wanted and scheduled the work. It was a fraction of the cost if we had engaged contractors without going through the energy audit. They managed the rebate process and we only had to pay the remaining balance. We had blown-in and spray foam insulation done in our attic. Once this was complete, Zero Draft retested and showed that the install increased our efficiency by over 20%. I can actually feel and see the difference. It's noticeably warmer inside. Our roof used to have frost on half and not on the other half because so much heat was rising up. After they installed our insulation the entire roof stays frosty and more f the heat stays in our living spaces. They even got into spaces I never thought were accessible!

Deep gratitude to Mr. Richard Titus for his assistance with our insurance claim. Upon sustaining…read moreserious wind damage to townhouse siding, and after the insurance company offered a mere pittance (less than the deductible !), we discovered Richard at Smart Choice Public Adjuster. How fortunate for us ! His communications with the insurance company were well-informed, thoughtful, and firm. "Professional" is the word that comes to mind. It took a bit of time (insurance companies are not known for 'turning on a dime') but they DID change their mind and ultimately made a generous offer. I would describe Richard's style throughout as "polite tenaciousness." It worked. I strongly recommend Richard Titus's services to anyone faced with a home-repair insurance claim. Thank you Mr. Titus ! Good luck to all

I'm a realtor and I deal with a lot of title companies and Lakeside is hardest one I've ever had to…read morework with. Most title companies try to find a way to accomplish their clients' needs. This one does the opposite and some of the management (not all) are down right mean as hell! As real estate agents, we sometimes put money into properties and get reimbursed at the closing table and can add our expenses to the ALTA. I've done this with over a dozen other title agencies. But Lakeside does not allow reimbursements from the ALTA and sends all the proceeds to the seller (or buyer) and asks them to divvy it up post closing. I get it..it's their prerogative on whether they should have to do extra work or not by adding things to the ALTA, but I just feel like they should make it known in advance. I will say that my processor was great. But please stop hiring mean people in management!

Frank was very nice over the phone and offered to see if he could have someone come in the next day to help us out. I was very thankful. We have a 1,500 square foot house. We asked to have them be sure to do the kitchen and our two bathrooms. We put a time limit on it of 6 hours and we were expecting to have most of the house cleaned as it was empty. They were unable to fully clean the kitchen and/or bathrooms in the 6 hours. If 3 hours were spent in the kitchen and let's say 1.5 hours in each bathroom then I expect them to be immaculate! This was not the case. The lazy Susans and the drawers were still dirty as well as the floor. The refrigerator and oven seem to have been cleaned but that looked like it. In the bath the tile was still dirty on the floor and my husband had to pull a huge amount of hair out of the tub drain. When we contacted Frank he said it all didn't get done because we put a time limit on them. I just don't understand what they spent 6 hours on? We definitely didn't feel like we received $330 worth of cleaning. I'll add pictures of the bathrooms and kitchen for size reference as well as pictures of what we found. (I'll spare readers the hair from the drain)

I have been a client of Pinnacle Title and Escrow since 2017. I have used them in all our real…read moreestate transactions. One time, I was convinced by my realtor to use her title company and what a disaster it was!!! With Pinnacle Title, I never had to worry about anything. I dont need to shop around rates because I know that they always give the best competitive rates. Trust me, I have called 5 or 6 companies in the past. Its also not all about the rates but the service that is rendered. I never had to chase anyone for anything with Pinnacle title. They were always one step ahead of me, Always one step ahead of everyone. Calls are returned within minutes and they take the time to explain everything and answer any questions you may have. In our last closing 4/26/22, Pinnacle Title stepped up to the plate when there was a problem with the closing. What is surprising is that, it was not even their fault but the fault of the listing agent!!! But Pinnacle Title did everything in their power to amicably settle the disputes at closing and settle the loan on the same day. Where will you find a title and settlement company that will do that? If you are not using Pinnacle Title for your settlement and title needs, you might be missing out. Give them a try, you have nothing to loose and everything to gain.
