Quick Environmental

Horrible. Don't use them. See Wendy review from 2017... same story in December 2022

Started out ok and then went downhill from there..it is a very long story from the soil samples being lost and then samples taken again which they are trying to charge me for. This company is Not upfront with their costs. It has been almost a year and I am still dealing with them. Never told me that their were costs for 2 reports. When the property finally became certified they wouldn't send the report into the EPA unless I paid 1,000.00 for their report. I would hire a different company. I called Consumer Affairs and it doesn't look like this case will be resolved.

Prior to the work being scheduled, Quick Environmental (QE) applied for and obtained the necessary building permits and coordinated the scheduling with the agency insuring the old oil tank in case there was any leakage needing remediation.  Once we signed the contract with them, one of their managers (Cecil Taylor) came over to survey the job and answer any questions I had.  He assured me that the job was pretty much routine and that they would have everything necessary to do the job.  His visit was quite reassuring to us. It took longer than we expected between contracting with QE and the work actually starting--but that seems to have been caused by our township taking a long time (several weeks) to issue the permit.  The installation of the new tank was originally scheduled to take place on a Tuesday with removal of the old tank scheduled for the next day.  On Tuesday morning, however, QE called us to lell us that one of their people was out sick and that they wouldn't be able to do the installation that day.  Instead they said, they'd do both the installation and the removal the next day (Wednesday).  This was a perfectly acceptable solution to us.  On Wednesday morning, the installation crew arrived and began working.  While we were waiting for the removal equpment to arrive, we learned that the had mechanical problems and would be delayed.  One of the two installers went off to help the stuck tank remover while the other installer continued working.  Although later than expected, the removal equipment arrived.  The QE people took this delay in stride and kept on working without regard for its getting late.  In fact, they worked late into the afternoon and early evening, not completing the work until just about 7 PM.  What could have been a disaster turned out to be just routine for these hardworkers.  Throughout the day, Tirone, Michael and Kristo worked hard and patiently.  They were extremely courteous and obviously very knowledgeable and competent.  Despite the lateness of the day, they did not cut any corners and did everything that needed doing and could be done that day.  They had to leave the old removed tank down at the front of our property so that the building inspector could  inspect it for holes and leakage (there weren't any holes and there had been no leakage).  The inspector came on Friday (when we were away) and approved all the work and that there were no holes in the tank.  At this point I started to worry that it might take forever for QE to come back and finish the work.  I notified them by email on Sunday night that we were ready for the final steps.  On Monday morning I got an email saying that they'd be here that very day.  They came in the early afternoon and finished everything up (removed the old tank, filled the ruts in the lawn with topsoil and reseeded).  Despite all the little hitches, were are very pleased with QE and their people.  They overcame the various things that went wrong.  They got the job done and done well as promised.  Everyone we dealt with at the company was extremely helpful, responsive and courteous.  They did the job on a fixed price which was less than other estimates we had gotten and were willing to work with us on our terms (which other companies were not willing to do).  We are extremely pleased and can highly recommend QE to all.

I recently converted my heating and hot water systems from oil to gas.  The last part of this project was to remove an 1,000 gallon in-ground oil tank which was under a foundation planting, right in front of my house.  Leaving the tank in the ground was not an option because it could cause ground contamination.  It might also cause problems in the future if we decide to sell the house, as people are increasingly weary of the potential for contamination from in-ground oil tanks. 
I made an appointment to have the tank removed by Quick Environmental.  They rescheduled my appointment twice, but did give ample notice when doing so. 
Three workers drove about 1 1/2 hours from Trenton, NJ to Easton, PA, and they arrived at my home on time.  They were polite, friendly, professional, and very pleasant to deal with.  They completed the work as described above.  They left the area nicely cleaned up.  What a relief it is to have gotten this over with.  I am very happy to no longer have an oil tank in the ground!  Luckily, another contractor recommended Quick Environmental to me. 

Very well. Tony, Anthony and Victor were the crew assigned to actually do the removal work and they all were very helpful and professional. We had insurance so there was no additional cost for the remedial work because ProGuard paid that bill less the deductible.

Company employees arrived on time and began work. They explained what was going on and were very friendly. They worked carefully not to destroy surrounding areas of the work site and not to destroy the neighbors property. The removed the tank and hauled away tank and piping. They refilled and compacted the hole and planted grass seeds. Everything went well.

They were very thorough and professional. They had to take 30 tons of dirt out of the lawn, their clean-up was great. They were on time and everything was completed well.
