I recently purchased a great shed from Best in Backyards in Cheshire CT. The quality and features…read moremade my choice easy when compared to other options. Ours has ample storage, functional windows, and two entrances that increase its utility. I particularly like the material used in construction. The outside panels are a durable composite, and the floor surfaces are pressure treated to protect against insects and rot. I expect many years of maintenance-free enjoyment. In addition, I'd like to thank everyone that made the purchase and installation go flawlessly. Particularly the two installers, Byron and Rigoberto, who took the time to place the shed in the exact location I requested with professional courtesy and skill. They made a problematic uphill installation seem easy. If you need a shed this spring to get your outside activities organized I suggest you give Best in Backyards a try.

Hollandia is a local treasure. Great plants, cheerful young staff, knowledgeable botanists and…read morestaff who will happily drop their watering chores to help customers find the plant they are searching for. Always. I've been shopping here for over twenty years. Today, however, I had an unfortunate run in with Mr Grouch on his golf cart. It seems I broke the rules. When driving in the " back way" we saw the exact shrub ( a massive dappled willow /pictured below) we came to buy. So, instead of parking the car, getting a wheeled cart and returning back to the plant, we stopped, put the four foot tall shrub into the car and drove around to pay. For those who don't know the layout, Hollandia improved their parking a few years ago. Instead of limiting parking to the front of the building, they have created a massive parking lot deep into the back of the nursery where the commercial vehicles can access their big orders. It is a huge operation. This is an improvement for those of us who usually buy as much as we can fit into our cars. But, I will grant, that it also exposes the operation to potential shoplifting as cars are now permitted into the yard itself. Today, though, my 85 year old husband and I decided we could eliminate the usual park, get cart, return back across yard to get shrub, pay, return to car, load shrub. You'd have thought we sprayed Round Up on the annuals. Old Mr Grouchy explained that this is not what is done. I asked, " Do you really want me to return the plant, get a cart, pick up the plant all the way on the other side of the yard and return to the same spot where we are standing?" I thought he might be inclined to give a senior citizen like himself a bit of a break with the usual routine. Guess not. He explained that he was even older ( as he is sitting in his golf cart) and that a lot of 80 years olds shop there and observe the rules. Well...this one didn't and won't ever again. Good bye Hollandia. Love the plants, love the staff but the boss is a small minded lout. It seemed far more important for him to chastise us for breaking the rules than to have been understanding of our particular method of purchase.

Rusharn took apart the unit and showed me the mess that was left inside the unit that the last company had missed, it was pretty bad. The other company had not disassembled it completely, just did a surface cleaning. Rusharn was lovely to work with, efficient, on time, and so kind with our huge dog. And he charged less to clean and replace the pilot light than the other company did just to clean the unit! I will always use Black Swan form now on. They do get booked up in the winter (because they are so good!) so I made a note in the calendar to have them come out in the summer from now on, when the wait time is less. Highly impressed!

Ordered replacement glass for my woodstove and had it professionally installed. The glass was…read moresnuggly fit and it cracked after the stove ran for a few hours and then cooled down and I got it running again. This company said that the installer made the glass too tight and they wouldn't refund my money. I ordered a 2nd piece and had a guy install the 2nd piece. This time the guy showed me that the glass wasn't even snug in the stove. He could slide it around in the housing. This showed me it was looser than the just snug fitting I was told was how this glass should have been installed. The stove ran and then cooled down overnight. When I got the stove running again in the morning the new glass also broke. Keep in mind. I have 1 piece of original glass that was reinstalled by this technician with a new gasket at the same time as the first piece of replacement glass. That piece is perfectly fine and hasn't cracked. This company sells inferior products and should not be used.

I brought my Cub Cadet mower to Bethel Power Equipment because it would not start. Before leaving…read moreit with them, I opened the ignition area and showed the technician the exact wire that had been chewed by a rodent and explained that I believed this was the cause of the problem. About a week later, I received a call saying the issue was very complex, there was extensive damage, and repairs would cost over $600. I was advised that the mower was not worth fixing and that I should consider buying a new one. I was also charged $150 for diagnosis. I declined the repair, paid the diagnostic fee, and brought the mower home. After inspecting it myself, I simply protected and repaired the damaged wire. The mower started and has been running properly ever since. I was very disappointed with my experience. Based on what I was told, I believe the problem was significantly overstated, and I do not feel the $150 diagnostic charge was justified given that I had already identified and shown the damaged wire. This was my first visit to Bethel Power Equipment, and unfortunately it will be my last.

I dropped it off, advised the the unloader valve seemed to be faulty as the trigger would not recall leaving the unit on full blast until I turned it off. The kid checking it in, only put my name and number on it, writing nothing else, saying "we'll check it out, we're pro's, we'll get it working. I checked in a few times, finally three weeks later, was advised "the pump is blown". I questioned that, and advised the pump was doing it's job (a little too well) and could not understand what was blown about it. Then was told "these cheap units are not worth fixing". Honda motor, good brand unit.....I told them I'd come pick it up. "Why take it home? it's blown." I brought it home after paying their "diagnostic fee". I started it, the trigger now worked, the pump was strong as always, but the reliable Honda motor now stalled after running for thirty seconds, after each start. I got a new unit at the store and a few weeks took the broken one to a reputable shop in the area with my other power tools for tune ups. They confirmed, the motor was in spec, but found damaged parts that were compromising the continuity of the motor. They asked if I had tried to fix it myself, I advised I only had one professional work on it. They tought it looked like it had been re-assembled with a hammer, rather than wrenches. Scratches, bent parts that were not easily replaced, a couple of seals missing.....WTF. They offered me $50 to keep it for parts and gave me a discount on the servicing of my other gear to assure me power equipment was worth taking to a good shop to keep it running. Done deal.
