Tim Heney was a real life-saver for us. We live in California but needed to sell my husband's…read moreparent's house in Barre Vermont. Tim took care of everything for us in order to get the house ready to sell and to get the best price at the right time for the market. He even managed getting the carpets professionally cleaned so the house looked its very best before having the photographer come. All this happened and we were never even there! Tim is friendly, professional and very helpful and guided us on the local real estate process. We can't say enough positive things about Tim and Heney Realtors. Thank you Tim, we appreciate everything you've done for us! - Chris & Susanne Krahn

We found a new house out of the blue and had to quickly sell our current home. We called Josh…read moreGosselin and he got back to us immediately. He came over the next day and had our house listed within a few days. He even had a professional photographer do our photos- which made a HUGE difference. He always answered our calls, texts and emails right away and helped us sell our house quickly. We could not have done it without him! He stayed calm and professional during a very stressful time for us. I would highly recommend him!

I have owned my second home in Stowe for nearly 2 years. We contracted Yankee home solutions for…read moreour property management because the person we bought the home from used Yankee for some services. We have been nothing but completely satisfied with their services! They can be counted on to come on a regular basis to the house for checkups and trash removal, The snow is always plowed and the walkway always shoveled, the lawn is always mowed, they respond quickly to any emergencies that come up, and have even gone back and mailed my daughter's retainers home. They have also met contractors to have regular maintenance items completed. All in all Yankee home solutions has made second home ownership a breeze for us!

I found out the hard way that this company is dishonest and mismanaged…read more I bought a home in the area and Yankee Home Solutions was contracted by the seller to reveal the septic tank and remove some leftover items from the home prior to closing, but leave the items the seller had clearly marked as "to remain for the buyer." The septic work appears to be in good standing except that the cable line was cut and then reburried below grade without a word of warning. My biggest problem is that they removed a surf board and a custom framed photograph that hung above the mantle of the fire place from the residence without permission. When they were contacted about the missing property they dragged their feet in replying. I finally had to personally confront the owner, AJ Shinner. He said: "Oh, an employee probably took them by accident and we've had some lawn sales since then and, well, I can t find it..." Beware, this company is not accountable for its actions and is not willing to accept responsibility for the errors and/or misbehavior of its employees.

Sam Clark is an amazing designer and builder - which is a critical skill set that few have. Sam…read moreenvisioned and then built our entire kitchen. He has an impeccable ability to understand your needs, understand the project constraints, and then provide options. Then he can actually build out the project and get all the best tradespeople there. If your serious about doing a life long project well, call Sam.

Sam Clark designed and built our kitchen. He is our gold standard of what we look for in someone…read morewho works on our house. Sam is smart, friendly, incredibly knowledgeable, is never trying to "sell" you, and is really interested in helping you get the best plan and the best prices. He wants your place to work well, and to be a source of enjoyment and satisfaction to the eyes, as well. His rates were well under those of other people with much less skill & experience, and in fact we have since called on him for consults about new projects and future work. There are so many good things to say about working with Sam. He really listens to what your budget is, and suggests lots of options about doing things within your budget. We really like his taste and style - he emphasizes beautiful materials, and lets the natural materials shine through. To me, his taste is for solid, simple, elegant, non-fussy, non-faddish designs, where the lines and the materials are what pleases. He listens to what your needs are, looks at your space, discusses various options, and will give you iterations of plans - the opposite of a cookie-cutter approach. He is a flexible thinker, and likes to know how YOU are going to use your space. He will tell you when he disagrees with choices you're considering, make a straightforward case for why he thinks it would not enhance your space, but he lets you choose in the end. He was interested and knowledgeable about making environmentally healthy choices, and using local suppliers, but is flexible and not dogmatic. He always explains his ideas. He knows people, places, materials, shops, suppliers, contacts in all the related fields of house building and renovations. We asked for and got suggestions from him for stone counters (VT Stone Arts), radiators (Myson), local clapboards (Ward Mill in ME), electrical code information about a vent that someone else was installing, insulation, lead paint removers, flooring, etc, etc, etc. He's an incredible resource and consultant. There's a really good character vibe about Sam. He was gracious to all of our other subcontractors. He has great relations with his past customers - he put us in contact with a previous customer so we could go and see their kitchen, and later sent a prospective customer to look at ours. He is extremely responsive by phone and email. He sends plans by mail, as well. Sam has great personal integrity - he is a straight-shooter, genuine; the money aspects are always clear, and he does what he says he'll do when he promised it. He gives honest answers to your questions - doesn't try to talk you into things, and doesn't have a show-off-y attitude. It was a pleasure for us from start to finish working with Sam Clark. We recommend him wholeheartedly.

He gave me his rates upfront, as well as his availability, and discussed the scope of the job. He was open to my input, and assured me that he would be able to install the A/C to everyone's satisfaction. He called me on his way to the apartment with an arrival time. Alex installed the A/C, and it looks great, as it required much plexiglass to fill the window. I highly recommend Alex, and would certainly call him for any future jobs.
