Recent Phone Company Reviews in Boston
- Quality Preferred PaintingQuality Preferred Painting & Wallpapering (through owner Steve) was very responsive, professional and courteous. We requested a quote by phone, they provided that but also came by to assess the work, and were able to start immediately after (which they did and finished exactly when promised.) The job involved very intricate grass cloth wallpaper with difficult seams that are now barely visible after installation. They provided consultation and advice with the purchase of the wallpaper before and during installation. We had put our house on the market in the Fall for 60 days without an offer, despite strong traffic. We decided to wallpaper the living room and paint the trim a week before putting it back. Quality Preferred was able to make this possible with their very fast-turnaround and reasonable rates. As a result, we received a full-price offer within a week and *everyone* raved at how great the living room looks. We will definitely be calling Quality Preferred Painting & Wallpapering to help us with our new home
- ComcastThey provide monthly service. My cable works and I don’t have to worry about it. I would recommend them.
- ComcastI called Comcast Sales a Jahmal Swanson 617-674-0669 answered the call. He quickly arranged a Sunday morning appointment for the install. unfortunately there were no promotional packages available. I wouldn't be eligible anyway since I was already a Comcast customer Incredibly he went higher up the chain to arrange a package deal price I cannot express enough praise for the service Jahmal provided. He manged the whole process start to end. Even providing me with his cell phone if I had any problems!!~ We all know what a nightmare it can be just getting through to speak with someone only to be transferred to a call center somewhere else in the world that ends up unable to help you after you've waited more than 10 minutes burnign up cell phone minutes. I was truly impressed with the unexpected level of service. When the tech guy arrived on Sunday he was incredibly great at making sure everything was set up properly. Amazing
- VerizonWe have had Verizon for about three years and they have always been really responsive. I will continue to use Verizon.
- Verizon WirelessThe whole thing is all bundled up together, it's like $230 for the internet, cellphone and home phone. We're happy with it. I don't have internet on my cellphone. We had Comcast and we changed to Verizon because they have a special. We got $300 back and we got a reduced rate for 3 years for the internet. I like it because it's cheaper and their price were comparable, they almost have a monopoly so I'm not going to giving this up because you got 2 choices, you get Comcast or you get Verizon. I haven't had a call for service
- Verizon WirelessI never have problems or issues with the service. Everything has been real smooth and the internet is fast. We only have one bill. I have called a couple of times with questions and it was resolved fairly quickly.
- FAIRPOINT COMMUNICATIONS INC.They are fine; it works. We like the speed of the internet. We never had a problem so we never had to deal with the customer service yet.
- VERIZONVery smoothly. I was able to do everything on-line such as finding instructions to determine if the problem was from a line outside the house. I was called on my cell phone twice to confirm the appointment. The technician came on time. I received a call later to check to make everything was done to my satisfaction. It couldn't have been easier or quicke
- FiOSSalesperson came to the door since they had just finished bringing FIOS to our street was currently using and hating Comcast. Couldn't sign up fast enough. Got a great deal...free gift card. Made the appointment...they showed up on time, were professional and pleasant. Made sure that everything worked correctly before leaving. SO HAPPY to have FIOS! So much better
- Comcast Service CenterThe service is not same day, you have to make an appointment but when they do come they are helpful and answer questions. If we call them they can talk us through things too.

"During the walkthrough John was easy to chat with on what we were looking for in this project. We were looking to get some ethernet drops installed so that a new hardwired ethernet and wireless network could be installed by North Shore IT ([*** Link removed ***] Once we agreed to the project, Bill and Nico were easy to work with and were very expedient. They completed the job over a day and a half and did a great job at minimizing the impact to the walls and floors. I would definitely recommend JP McCurdy electrical services to others and would use them again!

"We picked Mr. Steve Austin and his company, Quality Preferred, prior to discovering he had already won this award. The reason we chose him was because he stood head and shoulders above a number of other bidders on the job, for three salient reasons. 1. He took copious notes on every aspect of the job; 2. he so obviously wanted to do the very best job possible because he discussed each part of it with us in detail, always encouraging us to make the best improvement possible in a given area; 3. Steve got back to us quickly with a detailed estimate which was crystal clear on what was projected to be done. Further, Steve started precisely when he said he would. As well, on the first day he must have been on-site a couple of hours, making certain his workers understood precisely what they were to do, walking through the smallest details with them, treating them with respect, entertaining their opinions. His workers were exceptionally professional, courteous, and punctual. They have worked a number of years for Steve. One of them detailed the companies he's worked for and said Steve was by far and away the best boss, better even than his own father! They clearly revere Steve, and the duration of their employment testifies to good working relationships. Steve proved flexible. An improvement in the kitchen he'd suggested--replacing tiles with beadboard--on which we initially demurred, once the job started, we decided Steve was right and he accommodated the additional work, doing a superb job. When this required us to bring in an electrician, Steve's workers cooperated with the electrician; hence, that additional, unplanned, piece of the project was accomplished with dispatch. The electrician, from a local company, complemented Steve's workers in adjusting what they were doing to his needs, thereby enabling him to accomplish his work faster. The quality of the work completed is impeccable. Steve not only started on time but ended on time, even given that we asked for a couple more pieces of work to be done along the way. He also subcontracted the refinishing of the floors; those workers were as prompt, efficient, and professional as if they worked directly for Steve. The work was excellent as well. We endorse Steve, his workers, and his company enthusiastically for this award with no reservation whatsoever!

"When I was looking for a person/company to help us out with upgrading our home entertainment equipment, I came across Aztec Sound and Communication and decided to give them a call. Steve Golden came to our home on a short notice and provided a wealth of valuable advise and suggestions. I was very impressed with how timely - and in most cases instantaneously - he responded to my numerous edits along the way until we arrived to our final configuration. Installation was scheduled seamlessly and shortly and his crew arrived right no time. They were extremely professional, respectful of my home and took even step to ensure that installation area is clean and free of debris at all times. There was an unforeseen network issue during the installation and their patience and diligence in finding a workaround was close to none. They spent the entire day working on my project trying to get everything communicating to each other and teaching me how to operate it afterwords. What should not take longer than a few hours turned into a full day challenge. They handled everything with incredible patience and professionalism. In addition, I was very impressed with cleanliness and wire management. Steve followed up the next day making sure that everything is working and up to my expectations - and it was. I can not say enough good things about this company and it's people. They are my go-to source now for all future home entertainments needs. Thank you for the job well done! Inna R., Andover, MA

"It went well. I have hired this company before and they did a good job last time so I turned to them again. I originally hired a handyman to uninstall a broken ceiling fan and install a new one . Both units had lights. The lights on the broken fan worked but the fan did not. When the handyman completed his work the new fan worked but the lights did not. He tried to fix it but couldn't. He said the wiring in my ceiling was the problem and I needed and electrician. I hired P.W.DiMasi who sent 2 electricians out to investigate the problem. They found there was nothing wrong with the wiring in my house but rather that the fan was NOT wired correctly by the handyman. Also the fan was NOT installed correctly using the correct rated electrical box to support the weight of the fan. They removed the fan, installed the correct rated fan box, reinstalled the fan and wired it correctly. Then they checked all the screws on the fan to be sure they were correctly tightened, balanced and tested everything. When they were done everything worked perfectly. The electricians were professional, polite and respectful and easy to work with. They even vacuumed the floor when they were done. I will definitely use this company in the future when I need electrical work done.

"Unlike a competitor, FB did not charge me a fee to come out and give me an estimate. I had previously hired FB and was very happy with their work. Their pricing is straightforward: time & materials. The workers (an electrician and apprentice) arrived on time, were very professional and worked within the expected timeframe. They were flexible about extending the project to include an additional light fixture and to inspect wall sconces that no longer functioned. Unlike their colleagues from the previous project, they did not repair the moderate damage to the ceiling. I was also surprised to pay the full electrician rate for an apprentice. Nevertheless, overall I am happy with their work and will consider FB for my next project.
