"Thank you for your kind review. It is greatly appreciated."
"Thank you so much for your kind review, we greatly appreciate it."
We did have a few misunderstandings, however, that is why you must always insure you have written documentation with plenty of details. Bo resolved all my issues to my satisfaction.
TBH is a busy company and Bo sometimes is slow in responding. Most communication was by email (my choice) and I was not expecting immediate replies, however, sometimes the replies took several days. Bo called when necessary and was good about making sure the project went smoothly.
The employees who worked in my home were courteous and considerate while doing their job. They knew their job well and appear to have done it well too. They allowed me to photograph at various points to document the progress and we worked around each other well.
Unlike the government, I did not need to hire the lowest bidder. TBH was not the lowest bidder. I chose them because of customer reviews, gut feeling and documentation. Honestly, I would like to have gone with a higher bidder because of the way they would have done the job. I simply could not afford them. If my home were built better it may have warranted doing the project differently. I feel that I got the best value for the dollar with TBH in this home.
Bo made great suggestions for work I could perform myself and provided guidance along the way deciding upon materials and processes. His and quot;sidewalk counciland quot; was a value added benefit and greatly appreciated. His recommendation of the Great Stuff Pro spray foam system over the regular cans turned out to be one of the most valuable nuggets.
We are discussing the next project now which I hope to have done next spring or summer.
"Thanks for taking the time, [member name removed]! I really do appreciate it. I will be sure to extend this compliment to the crew and let them know how happy you were. I look forward to insulating the exterior walls next!"
"Thank you for the comments and I apologize for not responding to this post years ago. The truth is I was only recently made aware that there were comments on Angie’s list regarding my company. I am glad I signed up otherwise I would not have seen your remarks. Your feedback is immensely important to me and want to thank you for bringing these to my attention. I just called and left a message on the only number I have on file for you (3/6/2014) and would love the opportunity to go over anything you wish and to make things right. I have all the savings calculations from your original job and can clear up any mis-communication on my part. I am also more than willing to fix the crack in the closet immediately, at no cost to you and at your convenience. I hope to hear from you soon."
"Hello [removed members name], Thank you so much for the kind words. I realize it has been a long time since you posted this but I wanted to make sure you knew that your review means a lot to me and how I run my business. Remember, being one of our clients means you get free energy advice for life- I hope to hear from you someday with some energy questions! Keep in touch and stay warm!"
