It now (three years later) looks worse than when I hired them and it is leaking water in my basement. In addition, the bulkhead was not even screwed into the house. They simply sealed the gap with caulking. I feel taken advantage of. The company hired by Fowler's to perform the work inspected my issue and blamed me for the deterioration. They were to get back to me for a remedy and I never heard from them since the inspection.

This roofing company came to my home to provide pricing for roof repairs to address several holes…read more After the work was approved, they unexpectedly changed their pricing, and once I agreed to the revised amount, they ignored my calls for several days. They eventually showed up unannounced and performed very poor-quality work. The repairs were sloppy, they left screws scattered around the property, failed to clean up after themselves, and even threw debris into the backyard. Overall, the experience was extremely unprofessional. Do not hire this company.

We have worked with Buckley Builders on two separate home projects. The first was a house built in…read more1980 and the second, which Buckley Builders is working on now, is a 223-year-old brick house with a 130-year-old addition for barn and stable. We were newcomers to Maine and were looking on the Better Business Bureau website for AAA rated contractors. Like the other contractors, Buckley Builders had a wait time. But we needed to have a 40-year-old broken and unreparable stove with a separate cooktop removed and replaced, which meant cutting counters, closing up a window and creating a vent system for the new oven. Not a tiny job. Shawn Buckley took pity on us and made the time to get our new stove installed, because, as he said, you can't really move into a house unless you can cook in it. The company have done really excellent work on both houses, for all their differences in age and condition. Particularly with the current house, they have turned the somewhat unstable barn structure into a rock-solid waterproof ground-level bedroom with bathroom and closets. This has involved shoring up the foundations, strengthening the roof and walls, demolishing a section that was more or less rotten, and a lot more. Shawn, Joe, and Pete Buckley are very sensitive to the style of the buildings they work on and we have relied on their judgment throughout, with no regrets. They have done a beautiful job on trimwork and siding, installing skylights, and building decks. In the newer house, among other things, they excavated and concreted the basement to augment the radon protection and to make it a more usable space. Buckley Builders use plumbers and electricians they have worked with for years and whose work is also excellent. The entire team are friendly, polite, and very attentive to the needs and desires of their clients. They have also been extremely tolerant and kind to our four animals, who haven't always been kind and tolerant back. We are happy to recommend Buckley Builders unreservedly.

The following complaint has been filed with the Better Business Bureau against Buckley…read moreBuilders,Gardener,ME: Date of Transaction: March 2022 - May 2023 Amount paid to Buckley Builders: $132,000 Amount invoiced by Buckley Builders: $110,796.96 What Buckley Builders committed to provide: A completed renovation of 70 Pinkham Road Nature of the dispute: Time and money owed by Buckley Builders to Karen Sale Whether or not the business has tried to resolve the problem: No, causing additional living expenses for March - November 2022 and May - June 2023. Shawn Buckley of Buckley Builders gave me a start date for my project of March 2022. He began 8 months later, at the end of November 2022. Because of this, I incurred the cost of supporting 2 households for those months, to the tune of $12,000. During my project, Shawn continually asked for up-front funds for time and materials, without supplying invoices for the completed work. After 3 months, I finally convinced him to send me invoices. Shawn continually asked for money, until I finally told him that I would have to find an alternate way, to pay him. Shawn continually accused me of owing him money. He walked off the project in May. Comparing Shawn's invoices to my payments - with bank proof of all checks written out to, and signed by Shawn - Shawn owes me $21,203.04. Again, Shawn accused me of owing him money... Somehow, he couldn't "find" 2 of my checks, totaling $25,000 in his bank account. After a long wait on my part, and being confronted with real numbers, Shawn "found" the missing checks. Today, 4 weeks after Shawn walked away from my project; The house has no floors. The kitchen has no cupboards. None of the appliances have been hooked-up. The front door has no handle, the steps to the 2nd floor have no treads, and the sink and toilet have not been installed in the 1st-floor bath. Invoices from Shawn total $110,796.96. I have paid him $132,000. Shawn owes me $21,203.04 in labor and materials. If I add the cost of the March - November 2022 and May - June 2023 (10 months of delays or $15,000 in additional living expenses) into the mix, Shawn owes me $36,203.04 in labor, materials and living expenses.

I was told on Saturday they would be here Tuesday before the 4th of July. They never showed up. Called at noon to see if they were still coming, they said yes. Still no show. Had a big group coming for the 4th, would be nice to have power to building. Still nothing Wednesday, reached out again to ask if we were going to see them and if they wanted the job, they said yes still nothing. I'm starting to think this may not be a legit business. If after seeing a job and it's to much for you be professional and say so. Don't string a customer out for 2 weeks when they could of had the job done by a reliable company. Oh ya the didn't show up before the lobster fest either after saying yes . No Call,no text,no anything.Yelp Guaranteed. Not Likely. Jim B.

The pond filled up naturally and is spring fed and this year will look absolutely gorgeous once summertime hits. TJ was really courteous and did the entire project well within budget. I highly recommend him for landscaping, pond digging , wall building and other sorts of needs that you may have for your home and property.
