I've had a quick look and found one interesting thing:
You have gone to a great deal of trouble to put a rectangle around a photo on your services page. Search engines might think this is spam - "delivery and installation" repeated about 20 times in the alt tags for no particular reason:

Why not replace it with
Quote: | <img src="tp.gif" border="1"> |
There seems to be a lot of coding like this making the pages long and messy. Short and clean code tends to do better with search engines - it improves the content to clutter ratio. Probaly this is the fault of "Homestead SiteBuilder LPX". I use dreamweaver to build html page - it's great but expensive.
Maybe someone else can recommend a good html editor that is cheaper?
On the plus side I was able to navigate and understand your site using a text browser, so search engines should be able to get around OK.
