Smoke and CO detectors placed correctly and hardwired or battery units installed where needed. Serving Wheaton and all of Montgomery County.

Call (301) 395-3831

Smoke and carbon monoxide detectors only work if they are placed in the right locations and are functioning correctly. In Wheaton homes, code requires detectors on every level, in every sleeping area, and near fuel-burning appliances. Jacob installs battery and interconnected hardwired detectors in the correct locations, replaces units that are past their manufacturer lifespan, and tests every installation before leaving.

Wheaton is an urban suburb with a mix of post-war homes and mid-century construction. Older homes here often need work that takes experience to do correctly, particularly in bathrooms, kitchens, and around older plumbing.

Jacob holds MHIC #112963, Maryland's home improvement contractor license. Licensed and insured.
