The Groom Shop at Story Road & Pioneer
Behind the Story Road
Animal Hospital; submitted by Francesca Funk, who said: Our favorite
dog groomers. They use all-natural shampoos & other products which
we like better than the synthetic chemical products. They're also
very nice about quick nail trims in-between grooming. The price
seems comparable to Pet Smart.

Jimmy Dean is a gentleman who has been around Irving for some time.
He sells new & used computers & does excellent repair work in a
fraction of the time it takes others & for a fraction of the price!
He is a whiz with computers & answers all questions patiently; I
rate him FOUR STARS! But be warned that finding a place to park at
his business might be dicey (although worth the trip). I have been
told there is a church parking lot next door.
Crutch Appliance & Air Conditioning at 972.986.8881 or metro
817.265.8866
Submitted 8_09 by Bill Holcomb who said: This company

in Grand Prairie. The business card is for several companies he has
bought over the years -- use the two phone numbers listed above. If
you have to leave a message it may take a few hours before they get
back to you, but they will return your call. They do honest, good
work at reasonable prices. We bought a Maytag refrigerator several
years ago (big mistake) -- they serviced it several times while it
was under original & extended warranty. It is now out of warranty
but I still call them as I did yesterday morning & they fixed it
this morning as it was not an emergency repair.

Pioneer, or e-mail mcdowell_kyle@msn.com Submitted 7_10 by Doug Wheeler who said: Kyle McDowell, who is a master plumber, purchased this established business in 2008 & his crew includes master electricians. I have trusted them to do everything at my house from adding one outlet in a room to relocating the main electric breaker panel (from a hall closet to the garage) while upgrading the panel to fit modern needs. I’ve also trusted them to bury the power line that runs off the pole to my house & install a generator for those times when our neighborhood loses electricity – they are a Kohler generator dealer. I have always been happy with their work, appreciated their ability to coordinate & pass inspections, & never felt like I was being over-charged.

economy). His work, including repairing mortar & building &
installing a new chimney cap was excellent.

Gutters
A-1 Aluminum, Inc. at 1719 Peters Road, No. 510, Irving,
Texas, 75061, phone 972.438.1011, 817.332.1001, or 214.228.0422
Submitted 5_09 by Doug Wheeler who said in response to an e-mail
inquiry: Thank you for asking about seamless gutters because I’ve
just had them installed on my house, replacing some old non-seamless
ones. I used A-1 Aluminum Inc., based here in Irving since 1969.
They also have a website at
www.A-1AluminumTX.com. Here is a run-down of my experience:
- I called & their sales rep Jean Felker came by to give me a written quote -- removing my old gutters & then installing 69-feet of 5" gutters with leaf screens plus four 3"x4" downspouts (& some other parts) was $696. I did not have to pay anything up front but I did sign a contract.
- Two days later a two-man crew came by to remove the old gutters. They were quick & polite but they did leave some metal in the grass that could have become dangerous if the lawnmower had caught it -- so watch out for that.
- I already knew I had a wood rot problem behind the old gutters so we paused while I had the facial boards replaced/repaired (A-1 recommended someone because I didn't know anyone to do this).
- As soon as I told A-1 the facial boards were ready a different crew (I think they have three crews) came by & installed the new gutters. I asked a lot of questions while they were installing & the crew gave me direct responses. I feel like they did a good job (the gutters look great) but we haven't had rain since then so only time will really tell.
- The following day Kelli in the office called to ask how did I want to make payment. I hope this information is helpful.

Submitted 10_09 by Dianne
Cartwright who said: After having nightmares dealing with Lowe's we
discovered the installation company used by Lowe's could have
secured the Pella windows we wanted AND installed them -- probably
for a better price than what we paid Lowe's. Michael Chapman has
replaced doors & windows for us & I think highly of him -- he is
always on time, extremely polite, & very meticulous; he gets FOUR
STARS.
Glen's note: I also have Pella windows & have found it
worthwhile to visit the Pella showroom at 801 Hanover Drive, #600,
Grapevine, Texas, phone 682.223.5656 to look at & discuss window &
door options directly with Pella employees. Once you've made a
selection you can decide separately who you want to do the
installation -- the Pella installers are excellent but they are also
not allowed to handle anything other that what they're installing
(e.g. I had to repaint my window sills to match the new windows
because the sills were not part of the installation & so the Pella
installers could not paint them even though they were painting the
newly-installed trim around the windows).
