"They didn't do what they said that they're gonna do. The paint job was spotty and it was unfinished cabinet work. I tried to call them to let know and they never even know who I am."

"It didn't go. the guy came out to fix the door and when he got there and saw the door he did not have the material to fix the door so he told me he would get the material to fix the door and come back the next day but he did not return to fix my door."

"If I could summarize my experience with Chriswell Home Improvements in three words, it would be “pride in workmanship.” Let me start by saying this is not my first experience with a remodeling contractor but it is by far my best. My last foray into this type of project was a kitchen remodel in 2015. I will not detract from this positive review to talk about that experience other than saying I wish I had used Chriswell rather than “the Kmart of Kitchen renovations.” You can always look up that review on Yelp. While I have some experience with construction (on the kitchen project I handled the demolition, the rough construction and electrical with the help of a contractor friend), I was not about to tackle my bathroom renovation. Our bathroom renovation was by no means a standard project. We were combining a half bath with a full bath to create a single bathroom. The half bath was original to the house (1954) while the full bath that shared a wall with the half bath, was built, by the prior owners as part of a remodel in the 1970s. Let’s just say the full bath had its quirks, beginning with the 21” wide entry door located right behind the kitchen table. No guest ever wanted to use it, instead going around the corner to the half bath that backed up to it. When we decided to remodel, I had serious reservations about using another generic remodeling company found at a home show rather than a general contractor who would bring in subcontractors where needed. We ended up talking to Chriswell at a home show to get an idea of what we would be facing and due to the uncertainty of the times/economy, we decided to lock in with them. I will say now that it was one of the best decisions we could have made. It started with meeting Eric, the superintendent who walked through the project with me but continued through the entire crew beginning with Gil, the foreman and Derek, the point person and main guy on the job along with Gil. Now that the description of the project is finished, let me get back to my first statement about Chriswell’s employees, that is “pride in workmanship. I’ll start with Derek. He handled most of the demolition and with Gil, the installation of the new sheetrock, moving the heater duct, installing the vent fan and the patching of the paneling on the dining room side. Several times, beginning with Derek’s insistence that he had to complete the taping and texturing of the new sheetrock because he was concerned that the switch in the middle of the job would be evident in the difference in technique. A better example, however, was after the new recessed lights were installed by Daniel, the electrician. I had noticed that they were connected to the wrong switch (hooked in with the vanity lights instead of the ceiling fan light). Before I could even say anything, when Derek came in the next morning, he had removed a section of the ceiling to rewire the lights because it did not seem right to him. When it came to the paneling, both Gil and Derek said that they did not like the options to patch the door opening. There was no way to match the 1970s (as it turned out made in Japan) paneling. They said it just would not look right and they would prefer to replace the entire wall. We discussed it and decided to match the bead board that is on the kitchen side of the dining room. These are just two examples of many. I’ll continue with Gil. As he was finishing the bead board, he did not like how the last piece would look because he would have to patch two pieces together. Instead, he bought a second sheet so I would not have a horizontal seam in the center of the piece even though it was in the corner and only about two feet wide. When they installed my vanity and sink, the stopper provided with the faucet would not work so Gil purchased one that worked but it was a push button style, making the pull bar on faucet non-functional. Isaiah, the plumber added a nut to the underside of the pull stop so it could not be accidentally pulled out. Again, because it would not have looked right if that piece was removed. As long as I’m talking about Isaiah, I wanted to mention that his first day on the job, he noticed I had paint brushes drying by my utility sink in the garage. He made a point of telling my wife that I should not wash my brushes in the sink because he has seen costly plumbing repairs because paint settled in pipes. He did not have to do that. The other two workers who stood out with their commitment to their jobs were Matt, the tile installer and Luis, the drywall/texture finisher. I’ll start with Matt. When I was looking at the shower and complimenting him on the tile, he said, “when I finish the job, I don’t want anyone to have to come back to fix something.” That stood out to me. Luis came in to finish the texturing towards the end of the job. He did not have time to finish the Friday he was brought in so he asked if he could come in on Saturday to finish. It once again reflected the whole company’s commitment to finish the job without cutting corners. I will end this review with my experience on the final walkthrough and the follow-up work. Eric came over for the final. I pointed out that I was not satisfied with the height of the light fixture and the location of the mirror. They were a little low and off-center. I said if there was an issue with moving the fixture, I could live with it, but I wanted the mirror raised and centered on the sink instead of the fixture. Eric’s response was that I should not have to settle for anything. I should be pleased with it and if I’m not, they will fix it. He had Gil and Matt out two days later to take care of both the mirror and the light. Not only did they fix the bathroom, but it was garbage day and after they left, I went to move my garbage cans back to the side of the house only to find that they had taken care of them for me. This small act, combined with their pride in workmanship shows the quality of people that represent Chriswell Home Improvement Company in the field."

"Title: Extremely Disappointed – Poor Quality and Service from Bell Brothers I’ve never written a Angi review before, but my frustration with Bell Brothers has pushed me to share my experience. In 2021, I spent approximately $18,000 on a new air conditioning and heating system installed by Bell Brothers. Less than three years later, I’m already facing significant issues. Last year, the unit was running slowly and struggling to keep up with the heat. When Bell Brothers came out to examine the A/C, they charged me a $99 service fee and basically told me there was nothing they could do. This week, the air conditioner stopped working entirely. When Bell Brothers came out again, I was told it would cost over $3,000 to fix the issue. For a unit that’s practically brand new, this is outrageous! To make matters worse, the technician suggested I hire another company to do the repairs. Bell Brothers has taken zero responsibility for the faulty product they installed, and now I have oil leaking on my roof, which the technician didn’t even offer to clean up. Despite how new the unit is, Bell Brothers hasn’t offered any discount on the repairs. I should not have to pay over $3,000 for a system that was installed less than three years ago. I’m urging anyone considering Bell Brothers for their AC/heating or HVAC needs to look elsewhere. They are unreliable, unprofessional, and do not stand by their work. If this issue isn’t resolved, I will be sharing my experience across social media, Yelp, and the Better Business Bureau. Avoid Bell Brothers at all costs!"

"My wife and i were so pleased with Hall's a couple years ago that we hired them to install 3 more exterior doors at our home today. Their installer, David Pitsker, a true craftsman, arrived on time and began by reviewing the work order with us and then setting up a barrier of plastic to keep our home's interior free of dust and debris. He worked diligently throughout the day to complete the job. Again, the finished project exceeded our expectations. Hall's is a highly reputed company thanks to the very talented and experienced installers like David that they employ. In short, today we received another 5-star performance by Hall's Windows and Doors."

"We recently had Good News Home Improvement replace the siding on our house and paint the exterior, and we couldn’t be happier with the results! From start to finish, the entire process was smooth, efficient, and exceeded our expectations. Our Project Manager, Lon, was fantastic—his communication was excellent, keeping us informed every step of the way and addressing any concerns promptly. Both the siding and paint crews were meticulous in their work and showed great care for our property. The siding crew even came up with a creative and beautiful solution to replace brick we had recently removed from the front of the house, which truly enhanced the final look. We received multiple bids for this project with like-for-like improvements, and Good News Home Improvement was by far the most competitive. They estimated two weeks for siding and 3-4 days for painting, but the siding was completed in under four days, and the painting took just under three—far faster than expected without compromising quality. If you're looking for a company that delivers high-quality work, excellent customer service, and great value, I highly recommend Good News Home Improvement!"

"This pocket door repair turned out to be much more complicated than originally thought. The team worked to solve the problem and put in extra time to make sure it got completed before the end of the day. They were knowledgeable and friendly throughout."
