James came out to our home and did an amazing job. He was kind and professional and explained…read moreabsolutely everything to me. He did a thorough inspection of all parts of the system. He gave his honest opinions of what could be replaced and what the rough costs were for each component plus labor. He also explained what he thought was the best option to keep our current system running at it's best, which I chose to do. He re-gassed our unit and added a startup capacitor which seems to have done the trick! The outdoor unit kicks on easily, runs quiet and consistently now. And of course the AC blows ice cold now. He even gave recommendations for future maintenance for not only the AC unit but the boiler as well. I can't recommend Total Comfort Mechanical, and James, enough!

I called 3 Wave Cleaning and got a quote to clean my dryer vent. After shopping around, this was…read morethe lowest quote, especially since our vent is about 30 feet long, and another company charges by the foot. They got me in right away (when I called back the 2nd time to book, they came the same day!). Two nice guys showed up, were here for about 30 minutes, and cleaned the vent. I asked them to take pictures since the work was done in the attic, and I didn't go up there (see attached pics). We had not had them cleaned in about 4 years, and they needed it! On their way out, they quoted me to clean our HVAC vents, which I had not even thought of doing. I will definitely use them again.

He didn't buy anything but did leave with a catalog. They are very friendly there, knowledgeable, and helpful. Great definition of a well run local business.

It's pretty expensive stuff but that's because it's high quality and many are made in the area. They also have a bathroom and will let you use it (unlike the Visitors Center/Chamber of Commerce!)

Nothing but great things to say about Brian and his crew. We quoted several roofers, and not only…read morewas Brian the most competitive bid, he was also the most responsive, answering all of our questions in an extremely timely manner, and he provided his quote to us the same day he came out. Brian was extremely prompt. He was on time for the initial quote, on time when he said he was coming over to drop off samples, and he and his crew were even a bit early on both days of work required to complete the roof. Brian was extremely patient and helpful throughout the process, answering all of my questions, and taking the time to get on the roof himself to take close up pictures to show me the issues that we had so that I was better educated. We needed to have the entire roof replaced, and Brian told us it would take one day, possibly two worst case scenario. Turns out out roof was not properly vented and so we had FORTY sheets if plywood that needed to be replaced. Had it not been for that extreme amount of additional work, I am certain they would have finished in one day. Both days the weather outside was approximately 15 degrees, but that didn't stop him or his crew. They were at the house by 7:30 AM (on Saturday and Sunday), and didn't leave till after the sun went down the first day. Very hard working, cleaned up after themselves each day as immaculately as you could hope a roofing crew to. We had the roof done in early November, and there has not been an issue yet, so I haven't had to call Brian back to fix anything (though given our experience up till now, I have no doubt he would make it right back out here).All told, it was an extremely pleasant process working with Brian and his crew, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone who would listen. Thanks again for the great work guys!
