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.

Not only did he give us a tow, but he drove us to the airport to get a rental car back to Boston, and he gave us great advice on dealing with insurance (car ended up being totaled - would probably have had to come all the way back to VT to clean it out if not for Rod). Thank you so much Rod - you made a bad situation much more manageable.

After reading Ginger's review (see below) I see strong similarities between our experience and realize that I was overly-generous in my original review. We gave Mike a deposit to cover 2 small tasks for the roof. He completed one, couldn't do the other. KEPT THE ENTIRE DEPOSIT! After accepting our deposit, but before figuring out he had mis-estimated the job and his ability, he had one excuse after another for coming very late, not showing up at all, and bringing his girl friend and toddler to "help."

Original deposit was not factored in although materials were not purchased and labor costs did not come close to being utilized. Even without these major and costly issues, Mike's work habits were unreliable and unprofessional. Numerous excuses for not starting, not being available and not showing up to work when planned. These excuses lead to delays and possible future issues and costs with structural exposure caused by partial siding removal going into winter. As a widowed senior, I trusted him and lost a substantial amount of money and am now forced to seek legal action, which will be an additional expense.

Catamount came to my home yesterday to remove 4 sick crabapple trees and some overgrown shrubs. I…read morehad been given a very reasonable quote for the work previously, and I paid exactly the price quoted. Justin and his crew arrived on time, as promised. They were polite and professional, explaining every step of the work as it was being done. The tree removal was performed quickly and safely. The trees were mulched afterward; and I was asked whether I wanted to keep the mulch, which I did. Catamount even cleaned up the fallen leaves after the trees were removed. I was very pleased with their work. I highly recommend Catamount Tree Service. I'm sure I will be calling them again.

We have a large construction project starting soon on our property, and the contractor was worried…read moreabout negotiating cement trucks and materials down our mile-long dirt driveway, which winds through thick woods. A couple of years ago, we hired Catamount Tree Service to remove a few large, compromised trees in our yard that were threatening one of our cabins, and we were so happy with Justin's abilities and expertise on that job that we called him to give us an estimate on removing trees on either either side of the driveway to "clean it up" and widen the road for the trucks. He and his helper Sam spent a week on the driveway taking down trees, clearing brush, and delivering wood chips to our yard for my husband to use as mulch around his apple trees and in the garden. They worked their butts off for five days and finished the job by the end of the week, as promised. Yesterday our contractor came over to meet with us and the solar guy about the project, and both of them were blown away by what Justin and Sam had accomplished. The contractor isn't worried at all now about the transport of construction materials down the driveway. Not only are Justin and his crew nice young men who are sincere, hard-working, and professional, they're also fun to hang out with. My husband brews beer, so after the job wrapped on Friday we had them in for a brew sampling, and we had a great visit. We can't say enough about how pleased we are with Justin and Catamount Tree Service!
