After being overcharged, lied to, and given empty promises for over a month that I'd be reimbursed over $1,000, I want to warn other people to avoid this company at all costs. Sadly, I will likely have to take these jokers to small claims court. If you don't want the same fate, learn from my experience. In early June, I used an Angie's List deal for Cyprus Air that allowed for general maintenance plus one pound of refrigerant. My A/C system was in good working order; I just wanted to make sure it was good to go through the summer. The first tech, Levi, said that I would need about $1,400 worth of repairs (equipment, additional refrigerant, products, and labor). The majority of the cost was the additional refrigerant, plus labor. Based on the good review on Angie's List (I should have seen Yelp's review!), I agreed to Levi's suggestions even though I was surprised by the massively high bill. I went away for vacation and, when I came back, turned on my A/C. The outside unit (compressor) started shaking violently and making a loud noise that could have raised the dead. I could feel the shaking of the compressor inside my house in the floors! I immediately called Cyprus who said they'd come out the next day, despite my request to come that afternoon. A second tech (Ken) came and diagnosed the problem: the first tech had overfilled the compressor with dangerously too much refrigerant, which may have caused permanent damage to the compressor (requiring the replacement of at least the compressor if not the whole A/C system!). He commented that Levi must have just graduated from tech school, as the amount he put in was obviously too high. This obviously made me question whether any of the other products and equipment he installed were even necessary!! Ken promptly removed the R22. However, then he said my coil was dirty and should be cleaned as well, adding that the charge would be $350! I declined, saying I could do it myself (with a jug of NuBrite for $20). He said, "Well, how about $100?" I again said no, explaining that for half a jug of NuBrite I could do it myself. I went in the house and came back. Guess who was cleaning my coil? I insisted I would NOT pay for it and he agreed. Apparently Cyprus Air encourages their techs to barter on pricing. Nevertheless, Ken agreed and the system appeared to be functioning normally. Thus began what is now an two month old adventure with Shanita Ramos and Vasty Martinez of Cyprus' maintenance department. Obviously I was not going to pay for the refrigerant nor frankly any of the other equipment or services that were provided, as the first tech clearly lied in order to make himself and the company more money. After explaining the situation to Shanita, she agreed to act as my advocate to resolve the situation. But it quickly became clear that that wouldn't be the case... She kept making promises to look into my account and that she or someone would get back to me via phone or email. There was usually a promise of "within 24 hours" or "by Tuesday at 5pm." It never happened. Not once. It took days after her promise to get any kind of response. Finally, I demanded involvement of the operations manager, Ms. Martinez. At first, I had high hopes... Vasty apologized and, after I explained precisely what happened, she agreed that they made a mistake and that I would be reimbursed. We negotiated on the amount, agreeing that Cyprus owed me over $1,000; all of it was documented via email (and available if you desire to see it...happy to forward it along). It's been over a month and I have received NOTHING. I've called numerous times and been given an excuse each time, including the infamous, "The check's in the mail!" Obviously it is not. I anticipate taking them to small claims court. It's bizarre... I have everything in writing, including their agreement to reimburse me for over $1,000. On a final note, cancel your credit card if you experience this. I did, and glad for having the foresight to do it... Cyprus tried to bill me a monthly "Membership Fee" despite all of this ridiculousness. Their finance department even called to get a new credit card number! I wish they would just send me the money that they owe me... It just won't end.

He and his workman worked all day long building the retaining wall. As it was progressing, I asked for a small change in the shape, and they accommodated this readily. I think they came back a day or two later to finish things up. I paid extra to have them backfill the top of the wall with extra dirt to make room for a planting bed; he recommended a dirt with more sand in it to help with drainage, and I deferred to his experience. However, it appears to me he used only sand, and didn't backfill nearly the whole area I had in mind. Perhaps this was a communication breakdown, but it's not what I wanted, and I'm going to have to do some work to make it look better and get it ready for planting. The overall quality of the wall is decent. It's straight and feels like it'll hold up for a number of years, but the top finish rocks seemed haphazardly placed, and I spend an hour or two afterward rearranging the top row to make it look more finished. We have other rock walls done on our property that cost a good deal more, and look a lot better, but this wall is mostly utilitarian and suits our needs adequately.

They take a level of care about the details that I have never seen with anybody else. They always have small little ideas on how to make something better; they always ask me if it is okay if we do this, we think it would work better with the pieces you have in this room and they have never charged me extra for it.

FAQs for floor sanding projects in Heppner, OR
The cost to refinish hardwood floors is $1,900 on average, ranging from $600 to $4,500, depending on the area size, the floor’s condition, the type of wood, the type of coating, and the refinishing method. Traditional refinishing includes sanding the floors, which can be very dusty and costs about $3 to $8 per square foot. Dustless refinishing uses a vacuum to collect dust during the sanding process, reducing the amount of dust produced, and costs about $5 to $8 per square foot.
You should aim to hire a professional floor cleaner once or twice per year to remove any set-in stains, resolve scratches, and make your floors look shiny and new again. If you have a bustling household with many children, pets, or severe allergies, having your floors cleaned four times per year is worth the investment to maintain the integrity of your flooring. Don’t forget to prioritize cleaning your floors yourself in between professional cleanings, too.
The cost to install hardwood flooring is about $4,800 on average, ranging from about $1,000 to $12,000. Nationally, the average cost to install hardwood floors ranges from $6 to $12 per square foot for labor and materials. High-end woods and large spaces may cost $13 to $25 per square foot.
Additional cost factors include:
Square footage of the area
Type of wood
Preparation requirements
Type of finish
Location
Floor style and pattern
Plank thickness
Wood grade, color, and grain
It’s time to refinish your hardwood floors when they show signs of age that diminish their overall appearance and function. A few surefire signals that you should consider refinishing your hardwood floors include:
Gouges, scrapes, deep scratches, and dents over a significant area
Discoloration from stains or sun exposure
Water damage causing rotting, warping, or bowing
Weak, spongy, or soft spots in the floor indicating damaged subflooring
Dull and worn appearance across most of the floor
The cost for professional floor cleaning is $250 on average. This cost can range from $100 to $1,500, depending on the type of flooring and its square footage.
For example, natural stone flooring requires specialized techniques and care, so you'll spend closer to the higher end of the cost range. The cost of cleaning tile and grout is more cost-effective, where you'll pay an average of $0.50 to $3.50per square foot.
