" Since moving in to my home in 1997, I had never been able to open my circa 1940's front door by the key from the outside. As a result, I could never leave or enter my home from the front door. I tried several locksmiths who recommended changing the hardware. I was reluctant since I really liked the vintage brass fixture. Michael came and had it fixed in no time. Apparently he learned locksmithing on the east coast with old locks like we have." |

" Cookson has been servicing my old wood garage doors for some years. Recently, the motor and track mechanism went beyond the point where repair made sense. When a problem developed after the installation, they were back the next day, and took the time to figure out where the problem was despite insufficient homeowner information ("it makes a large clunking noise sometimes"). Turns out that one of the factory bolts was defective and needed to be replaced. After servicing the old units for some years, when they said it was time to replace them, I had no qualms about believing them. " |

Given weight and life expectancy issues, I concluded that a metal shake roof was the best way to go. There are about three tiers of metal roofing suppliers. I spoke to factory reps for each of the major suppliers in the top tier. They only recommended two people in Phoenix. Mr. Buckner and the other one had worked together for awhile and still thought well of each other. They are now back together. " |

" When I called a number of awning places and described the awnings we had I was told that they had never heard of such things. Mr. Williams had and told me about them. It seems that prior to World War II, labor was cheap but materials were expensive. A number of men would go up and down the streets of Phoenix with galvanized pipe on trailers behind them. If you wanted awnings made, they would cut and thread the pipe on the job site and give the dimensions to a seamstress who would stitch the material together. The modern system (like the one at AJ's) is a preformed set of metal. They also make other period appropriate awnings. " |
