The generator worked fine throughout the winter, seemingly kicking on in seconds every time the power went out. We then heard from BC Electric in August 2014 to schedule an annual maintenance, which we mailed the check that same day 'to get on the list'. After a few calls during the next four months, always reassured that they would get to us, their son, technician Rob just arrived on December 22nd, 2014. I understand that the annual maintenance is mostly changing the oil and am not sure what else.
Understand that the generator is in the back of the house, and with snow, never walked out back to check that the 'green light' was on, showing it was operational, until I noticed this light was 'red' and then our weekly test run was not happening either. I called BC Electric and spoke with Mrs. Carlson on January 12th 2015 and informed her that the generator was not working, I had not noticed the weekly 15 minute automatic test run, and probably hadn't been functioning/operational since her son had done the maintenance on it.
On Tuesday morning I heard from Bob Carlson, and informed him of everything I had told his wife the previous day. I heard from his son Rob about 2 hours later that same morning, and he instructed me to go outside, and try to manually start the generator while he was on the phone with me. I did as he instructed, held down the throttle while trying to crank it, probably spent 15 minutes on the phone with him and it would not start, and Rob informed me 'I'll be right down'. Foolish me, I assumed this meant That Day, or That Week! When Wednesday late afternoon came and we had no visit from BC Electric, we called them again, as usual almost Never does anyone answer the phone, and left a message. On Thursday Mrs. Carlson called in midday, didn't remember us or talking with us or what the issue had been, repeated it all again. Then on Friday we heard from Rob via phone, he didn't know who I was or what the problem was either, and refreshed his memory. He said "I will be there next week, probably not on Monday but probably Tuesday". The entire next week came and went, and we heard from no one at BC Electric nor did anyone from their company show up!
This brings us to Sunday January 25th with the impending Nor'Easter coming the very next day, severe weather warnings for days previous, and my wife called them and left a desperate message, and of course, no one answered the phone or returned the call. Monday morning we called a local electrician out of desperation, but low and behold Rob Carlson shows up unannounced at around 10 am. He tinkers around with the generator, tells me "I'm 99% sure it is a propane issue, I'm not allowed to work on that, call your propane company" and he left. Maritime Energy was here within the hour, their technician walked over to the generator, didn't even bring his tools out of his truck yet, asked me to try to start it, I did, pushed the manual start button, and it started fine, and has run ever since. Oh and that local electrician showed up that morning too when Rob was already here and just left. We had to pay Maritime $80 for their unnecessary service call, obviously not their fault though. Also out of desperation that morning when a week had passed and never heard from BC Electric, I had left a message with another Generac dealer who called me that evening. I told him what happened and he told me that Rob should have checked with a gauge to know 'if it was a propane issue' or not.
Bottom line is that it is highly unlikely that it was just a 'coincidence' that all of a sudden the generator started working after Rob Carlson showed up, as I had tried to manually start it at least 15 or 20 times those past two weeks myself. I dare say he left something disconnected when he did the service in December, noticed it on January 26th, fixed it and then claimed it was a 'propane issue'.
As I write this it is February 17th, and not once ever has anyone from BC Electric ever called to see if we ever got our generator running! Need I say more? Maybe their biggest business is making commissions on selling generators. "Customer Service" is not even understood by this company. Totally inexcusable!

A plowing contract was formed and not completed in a timely and reasonable fashion. Ordered crushed stone, was promised by the company on a specific day. Never delivered. Poor customer service. Poor quality. Less than poor business services.

FAQs for concrete patio work projects in Morrill, ME
Concrete repair costs range anywhere from about $0.10 to $0.15 per linear foot to fill minor cracks, to about $6 to $14 per square foot to replace damaged concrete slabs. Repair costs vary widely depending on the size and type of work needed. For example, replacing 100 square feet of driveway will cost between $600 to $1,400, on average.
The average cost of mudjacking is around $5per square foot of concrete, with most concrete leveling jobs totaling between $3 and $8per square foot. The typical cost to fix a sinking portion of concrete slab with mudjacking is around $1,100. The price you’ll pay depends on the size of the concrete slab you need to be leveled, the accessibility of the slab, and the type of material your contractor uses beneath the concrete to lift it back into place.
A paver patio can last anywhere from 20 to 100 years, depending on the type of pavers and how well you maintain them.
Travertine pavers are usually the most durable, lasting 100 years or more, with regular maintenance. Concrete brick pavers have a variety of shapes and colors available and typically last 25 to 50 years. Traditional brick pavers have a more classic look, lasting around 20 years with proper maintenance.
In most cases, no, mudjacking is not possible as a DIY job. Not only do you need specialized equipment to cut into your slab and pump the cementitious material underneath it, but it’s also a challenging process, and the consequences of making mistakes include additional structural damage to your home. It’s possible to rent mudjacking equipment to attempt a DIY repair, but the risk of added property damage usually isn’t worth the money you’ll save on labor, especially if the concrete you’re lifting is a part of your home’s foundation.
The cost of a paver patio is $3,800 for a 280-square-foot patio on average. Depending on the patio size, paver material, and design complexity, this cost can range from $2,400 to $7,000 or more.
The size of your patio is a significant factor in the project’s overall cost. If you're building a smaller patio of only 60 square feet, your costs will be closer to $480 to $1,500. If you want a more luxurious 900-square-foot patio, you'll spend closer to $7,200 to $22,500.
