Supervisor misattached the water hose to an outside faucet. Water ran along the pipe into the foundation into the between wall space and it turned out to have ruined the Masonite walls of my finished basement. I asked them to file an incident report from the truck which they did but no one called me about the problem. When a regional supervisor did arrive, he flicked water onto the INSIDE Masonite wall and took a photo of it - while telling me that prove they aren't responsible. He basically was saying it was his word against mine. Homeowner's eventually paid part of my claim and never subrogated to this merchant even though I had a written statement from the job supervisor stating they did cause the flood. Months later, the job supervisor said he had offered me drying equipment to dry out the walls but that was a falsehood. What he had said was "I have some rags in the truck to clean this up with" I had to chase them at every point during the entire process.
I had wrongly assumed this to be a reputable organization. They did about $15,000 of damage and I had to pay them the $450 anyhow.
I called and made arrangements through the 800 phone number. Assumed they would dispatch one of 3 local franchises on Boston North Shore. Instead sent franchise from Boston South shore (Braintree) 90 minutes away.
Phone quote was $397. Upon arrive the lead guy aggressively starts to up-sell. Pretends his handheld computer is broken and can't provide an official quote, so he makes up a price.
FINAL PRICE WAS >$1,000!!!! I should have purchased a new rug instead.
Provided a free gift as consolation for the $1,000 bill. Not surprisingly, the "gift" was already opened, broken and useless.
Work performed was mediocre.
AVOID THE BRAINTREE FRANCHISE. DECEPTIVE PERSON
The price was 1/3rd more than quoted on phone as one of my two couches was a sectional. Makes sense that a larger piece of furniture would cost more, however, when booking the job over the phone the size of the couches never came up, although she did ask other questions about the furniture. Would rather have had the correct price up front.
VERY unhappy with how wet the furniture was left. I expected damp to the touch, but the furniture was very wet. Was told that the cushions would dry in 4-8 hours, faster with a fan on them. We had two fans on the furniture and it took over thirty hours to be dry enough to put the cushions back on the couch. The sectional seems clean and am happy with the finished product. However I regret spending the money to clean the 2nd couch. It was light colored and very soiled. I asked one of the cleaners if he thought it would get clean and he told me he thought it would. Some parts of this couch look clean now, but the cushions look slightly streaked with dirt. Based on the streaks, I think the cushions could have gotten cleaner if more time were spent on them. The cleaning was scheduled at the end of the day on a Friday, which may have had an impact.
Sorry to say I would not use this company again, nor would I recommend them.
