The workers drove nearly 60 miles to my place, appeared precisely on time, did careful work that took exactly as long as the office predicted, were pleasant, were flexible about payment types, and provided a receipt and instructions for letting the work cure to prevent leaks. The cost precisely matched the estimate I was given when I phoned for an appointment. A good experience all around.

The estimate was for only one unusual job, but after telling me, "Don't call us, we'll call you," they began work on a number of additional jobs, with no notification or approval. In addition, it looks like their security has suffered; someone obviously tried to pry our gas flap open, badly gouging the finish. This morning, their polite front-desk person called to see if we'd made it home in the car. Last-minute communication and holding onto the car so long didn't help. Truly - sad about this.

There is an associated quarry, and a trucking operation. While the price for the work was significantly more than we'd anticipated would be necessary, we were new to private road repair and maintenance and had to hope that the recommended work and charges were reasonable and advisable. With heavy trucks coming soon and the winter weather not yet over, we had to rely on the contractor's integrity and reputation in the community in hiring a contractor. Al seemed sincere and forthright in discussing progress and points at which it appeared to him that additional work might be worthwhile to us in the long run, and he was careful to check with us to get work okayed before proceeding. His crew was easy to work with, and we liked Al and the others. Al explained his professional suggestions but did not pressure us, and we approved work incrementally to the point that we paid four times what we had originally planned, repairing some deep holes, areas of poor drainage, and years of rough usage and neglect. It would have been better to reach a clearer understanding about our preference for a basic repair of the whole stretch of road rather than an excellent repair of first one section and then another. We thought we had managed this but in fact were in the position, like people buying house siding in the old days, of finding two sides completely finished and two only just started. Given our lack of expertise with roadwork, this was unfortunate but perhaps not surprising. We do not feel that the company was at fault in this. In the end, we do have a good solid repair of everything but the parking area in front of our house, are happy with the quality of the work, and feel confident that it will be long-lasting. We will also feel free to call Al for future work, and will be in a better position as consumers to negotiate what we truly need. At the time of this writing, Justice is charging $235 per 15-16-ton truckload (at least for a job like ours), compared with $840 for a single truckload of the same size charged by his nearest competitor, Ashe Construction, in Randle, WA.

They were once the place to go for auto repair. We took our cars there for years for any repair we needed, and were always pleased. But around 2009-10 there was a change, with new repair men, and new people in the office. I had one of my mirror's knocked part off my car while at the grocery store. I went in, and they said that they didn't have the part, but would order it and call me when it was in. Over the next few months, I would call them every other week to find out that they couldn't find a mirror for my suburban. Like an idiot, I felt committed and stuck with them until they finally ordered and got in the part. They ordered two, so I'd have a matched set. I was fine with this. They also said they'd repair the holes left by the accident at the grocery store. Instead, it seems they went a different route. My guess is they didn't want my car sides to not match ... so they ripped the other mirror off the other side too, to leave matching holes in both sides of my car. The new mirrors were quite cheap too. But mostly, THEY PUT HOLES IN MY CAR DOOR. And charge me $350 to do it. I WILL NEVER GO BACK. I use Eagle Auto Repair in Forks now.

The job was bid. Rather than use a gas powered post hole digger the two workers dug by the holes by hand (which seemed absurd and took lots longer). The workers usually showed up at 10 and left about 3:30. The job took about 10 ten days to complete. The bid was based on a fence to match an existing fence of treated posts and rails. The rails used were cedar not treated. When the company owner was called on this he said his supplier did not offer treated rails. Had we not called the owner the fence would have not turned out to our liking.
As it were the fence boards are now on the inside of the posts/rails rather than the outside. As the boards were being put up a worker told me that because of the uneven ground the fence top would be 'notched' where some boards would be higher than others. I told him that he would have to cut the boards so that the top would be even. Bottom line: the end product was okay but we had to continually monitor in order to have an acceptable result.
An update: It was determined that the fence was build 30' inside our property line. When confronted NW Fence owner flew into a rage and said it was not his problem. Nearly one year later and with a court date approaching NW Fence and his attorney settled for a dollar amount and the complete removal of the fence. The agreement was to fill the post holes with dirt. I noticed the workers putting concrete back into the holes. When I attempted to advise the worker that was not acceptable he continued until I was nearly in his face. 1/2 of the post holes were found to contain concrete chunks. NW Fence was to come on this last Saturday to remove the concrete and fill the holes. At the appointed time we found that the concrete had already been removed. NW Fence and their attorney stated that they did not remove the concrete! I guess there must be a good elf in the neighborhood. At any rate the bottom line is that the fence is gone and the holes filled with dirt.
Let me be very clear: DO NOT HIRE NW FENCE FOR ANY REASON.

Grassi has been serving the Walla Walla Valley since 1958 and is family owned and operated. We are committed to honesty, integrity, quality, pride in workmanship, and a high standard of business ethics. Our years of hard work have paid off in a business that continues to grow through referrals of satisfied clients.
"I have been a faithful customer of Grassi’s for 5+ years. They’ve installed 3 systems for me and serviced 4. I am a small business owner in town and don’t take negative reviews lightly. As of today, Grassi has lost me as a loyal customer. Over the past 6 months we’ve had consistent issues with a couple systems (5+ call outs to 2 properties). To their credit, since the units are under warranty they say they will warranty the parts. Even still we are at $1,700+ costs thus far. Today, our tenant was cold and turned on the heater. It is 60 degrees outside. Grassi is charging for another callout as the units that they worked on within the month threw another code. Their technician, Cody, called us and told us that this is an operator error, blaming our tenant for their machine malfunction, as these are “not designed to heat when the temperature outside is above 60”. These are the only heat source for the house as recommended and installed by Grassi. What is our tenant supposed to do? I don’t believe this is an engineering issue as I have more faith in Carrier (the brand installed) or my tenant, who deserves to be comfortable. My take is that this was either poorly installed or poorly recommended. When asking more questions Cody, the technician, told us that we knew nothing about refrigeration and hung up on us."

Gas Fireplace Repair questions, answered by experts
Costs depend on material type, labor, chimney requirements, and structural reinforcements.
Yes, brick should be clean before staining to ensure the best results. Dirt, dust, mold, mildew, and other substances on the brick can prevent the stain from properly adhering to it. Thoroughly cleaning the brick allows the stain to penetrate and bond to the surface more effectively. Cleaning typically involves using a pressure washer or a stiff brush with mild detergent. However, stubborn residue may require a specialized masonry cleaner.
When it comes to painting your bricks, you’ve got a few options. Traditionally, lime wash (a mix of aged, burned, and crushed lime and water) was used to whitewash brick or stone. You can also find premixed brick whitewash paint that cuts out a few steps and lets you get started faster. However, for the best results, we recommend using a DIY whitewash (white acrylic paint mixed with water).
Hard materials like glass, metal, and hardwood floors, washable fabrics, and undamaged electrical appliances can often be salvaged after a fire, although it depends on the extent of the damage. For washable fabrics, make sure to use a phosphate mix during the washing process to extract the smoke smell. There are a few things you should throw away after a fire, like canned foods and cosmetics, even if they don’t look like they’re damaged.
A hearth often looks like a tile or brick floor that juts out from and surrounds your fireplace. A hearth can be made of stone, brick, ceramic, or any other fireproof material. Brick offers a classic and traditional vibe, whereas a hearth made of marble or ceramic may lean more toward modern aesthetics. The most common depth of a hearth is 20 inches.
