"I am pleased with every part of the task of cleaning my chimney. Steve made it easy to make an appointment that was convenient for me and Mike arrived on time and went through every facet of cleaning my chimney. Mike used techniques I have never seen for cleaning... I have been wood for more than 20 years. It was a win/win and I signed up for their yearly cleaning which as a senior will save me money and give me confidence my unit is safe to use. Thanks!"

"NONE OF THE JOB CHOICES ABOVE SUIT MY SITUATION !! I hired Four Winds Masonry and Chimney to make repairs to my chimney. The job was done at the appointed time, done quickly, done safely and in the best standards of the trade. The gentlemen that did the job were friendly, respectful, and receptive to my questions, and knowledgable in their answers. They were flexible in identifying work that did or did not need to be done. The initial estimate was a broad "time and materials" estimate. What might be called a "ballpark" estimate. The final price was at the lowest price of the estimate. I am very pleased !! I highly recommend Four Winds. Respectfully Ernest Tschanz"

"Shamrock was fantastic to work with! The crew showed up right on time, were super friendly, and did a great job cleaning and checking my chimney. They explained what they were doing in simple terms and made the whole process stress-free. I’ll definitely be calling them again and recommending them to friends and family."

"I called for a free estimate, Justin came promtly and inspected the chimey. He showed me pictures of the problems and spelled out all the options. I explained to him that my cellar has floode due the problems and was anxious to get the repairs done. Justin quoted a price that was fair and much lower then any other estimates. To my surprise he said that he could do the job that day. He kept sending me pictures as the work progressed so I knew exactlywhat he was doing. He was professional and honest about what needed to be done. I was more then pleased with him and the company. I highly recommend .Chimneys are us."

"Astar: S#!tshow Incorporated An absolute catastrophe from the moment I sent them money until they finally got their act together to finish the project four and a half months later (with mediocre results at best). Their ability to communicate was abysmal and they utterly failed to take any sort of meaningful responsibility several times over. They proved unable to track information both internally and especially coming from me (even by email!) and in the end seem not to have much of an understanding of the products they sell. The trouble initially arose from their failure to note the several times I told them I was in Putnam rather than Dutchess county. It turns out they're not licensed to work in Putnam, but rather than doing the right thing and telling me that so that we could find a solution, they gave me nebulous excuses about how there was a snag with the electrical permit and that it was going to take a little more time. They were quick to get some things installed (probably so I couldn't walk away from the contract if I learned what was really going on), but then were unresponsive and would only give me a runaround on when things would happen and never answered my questions fully. This issue almost screwed me out of a rebate as I had to tell them several times that I'm with NYSEG instead of Central Hudson before they got it right. Their initial timing estimate left me with the choice of shlepping diesel for a few weeks to keep my hot water running or dealing with 100+ gallons of fuel oil when the job was done, so I went with the former. That would've been easy if it had hit their early target of two weeks and a reasonable but manageable hassle at their late target of six. They left me cold for three unexpected months (Jan-Apr) during which I spent many hours and hundreds of dollars on diesel, firewood, and electric heaters (not to mention an astronomical electric bill). In compensation they took roughly $1200 off my $43000 bill, which feels about like getting a dollar tip on a $20 check. Along the way, there were other issues (such as their plan to leave the boiler "as a backup" for me to deal with despite my having told their sales rep point blank that my whole aim was to remove the boiler). The quality of work was OK, but by no means great. The vents they use are absurdly cheap, don't really open & close properly, and the control knob frequently comes out when I try to operate them. Information from the installation planning meeting was either ignored or changed on the fly but their technicians, and one of their guys gouged my mechanical room door while removing the old boiler tank (which would've been easily avoided with the extra minute's work to put a blanket over it) & didn't so much as apologize for it. On top of it all, I'm still finding trash from the job around my property. Finally, their design of the system doesn't allow different rooms to run different functions; an issue I never would have accepted if I'd known. (for what it's worth, that seemed a surprise to the technician who came back to address the non-functioning thermostat they initially left me with). Also: upon the end their last scheduled install day, and with zero warning that this was going to happen, the installer demanded that I pay the remaining $23000 balance right then and there as though everyone simply has that amount of cash in their checking account or available on their credit card at all times and would not leave until I put half on a card, only accepting the half payment because I could name issues they still needed to come back and fix. Jason, the rep that sold me the system in the first place was kind, courteous, and gave me lots of faith in that company. I don't believe that was misleading me intentionally, but I deeply wish that they'd sent someone less likable and more reflective of the way their company actually operates. They sell an image of professionalism that absolutely misrepresents them as a company. Listen to the complaints about their outlandish pricing and terrible service. Jason told me that Yelp offered to scrub the bad reviews for them for an exorbitant amount of money and to trust the other sites, but I can only conclude that it's a lot cheaper to manage your brand image on Angi and other, less ubiquitous review sites."

"We have had Buddy’s remove trees a couple of times now. They do an amazing job; when they leave there is nothing to say they’ve been here except the trees that have been removed. They are professional, friendly, and their prices are good!"

"The service on my boiler went flawlessly. I purchased my gold seal contract for service without any pressure from the service tech. She did a great job….well trained, knowledgeable and very qualified. I am very pleased. I live on Honeoye Lake and the service was timely without issues"

"I was extremely pleased with Simply Installs. Certainly one of the very best contractor experiences I've had. Technically, they seem very knowledgeable; they're nice guys and easy to work with; they show attention to detail (they brought mulch to put around one of the outdoor units that was being placed in a plant bed); they took good care of our house (wore booties, put down temporary mats to walk on); they were reliable; they came back after the job was done when I had questions about some minor trim work and the thermostat settings. I'd hire them without searching for another contractor if I had additional HVAC installs."

"Zach was professional and knowledgeable. Identified the problem within minutes and fixed it. I have always been very satisfied with the installation process and maintenance service performed by Isaacs."
