I purchased 40 square yards of compost (August 2015) and including delivery charges, paid…read more $1,242.50. When it was delivered I was taken aback by its color - it was grey (instead of the dark rich black humus that characterizes compost). It was also sandy, gritty, and had many small pebbles. So I sent in a sample to the UMASS Soil and Plant Tissue Testing Laboratory. The results are as follows: *ph of 6.0 *on the lower end of Phosphorous, Potassium, and below the optimal range for Calcium *a little bit too much Copper, and way to much iron *4.2% Soil Organic Matter *Soil textural analysis: 70.7% sand, 20.8% silt, 8.5% clay The purpose of compost in farming is to add nutrients to the soil. The "compost" they sold me has even less nutrients than the barren top soil on my property. Also, a soil science expert at the lab assured me that there was no way that this could be compost. Compost, she says, "at a minimum has at least at 20% soil organic matter content, and yours was only 4%." If I had trusted Reis's assurances and spread their compost on my field, it could have completely destroyed my first year of farming. I asked for my money back. I showed them the results. They refused everything. They refused to get their compost tested. They refused to reimburse me for the soil test I paid for. They refused to give me my money back. I just lost over a grand, and they don't have a clue about what they are doing.

I contacted seven local driveway companies this spring. After many repeated phone calls to others…read morewho either did not call back or were too busy (I guess) I contacted Reis - as the eighth company. I ended up getting two bids. Reis was slightly higher than the other but their bid clearly included a lot more site preparation work than the other bid. When the crew came to install, they were amazing. They removed a couple of tree roots in seconds. The long and complicated driveway was completed in two days. A great experience, highly recommend.

I called Nadales Renovations to get a quote on moss removal. Sebastian returned my call immediately…read moreand came out that same day to review the work. Unfortunately, moss removal was work they did not perform. Despite that, Sebastian went onto my roof to assess the situation. He informed me that my roof was still in good shape and did not see the need to replace it. He did refer me to another company. His integrity, along with his timely response, was much appreciated. I will definitely reach out to him to replace my roof when it is needed.

I chose DePietro Roofing after getting 3 quotes, comparing the 3, and going with the best offer. I…read morehad the work done in late Feb, so they were able to start within days, weather permitting. They had to strip down 2 layers, and unfortunately they found unseen rot and had to replace some plywood panels, which changed the cost. I already suspected as much so wasn't shocked and they had been transparent with the cost before starting the job. The crew of 5 or so workers were there before 7am and they were mostly done by 1pm on my ranch house. The supervisor was there for the entire job and his supervisor dropped by several times throughout the day, as well being there for the start and finish. The crew did a very good job of cleaning up and checking for nails with a magnetic sweeper. I was very pleased with the work and am happy with my pretty new roof. I will be recommending them to anyone who needs roofing work done.

Ernesto's handyman service was quick to respond to my inquiry and set up an appointment for the very next day. They showed up on time and were very friendly and polite. Spoke to me about what exactly needed to be done and viola I now have a very safe and secure front door that locks. I highly recommend them. Absolutely fantastic job. I am so pleased! Wouldn't hesitate to use them again if needed.

Eric responded quickly with a very fair estimate to hang picture railing in six rooms of the house,…read moreand build a shed door and ramp. The quality of the work exceeded my expectations. His recommendation about where to place the moulding was better than our idea, and the crew was able to skillfully work around the quirks of a 170-year old house (sloping ceilings, walls, and drywall on top of plaster) to install the material with a level of skill that only comes with years of experience. Beyond the technical skills, they are nice guys working hard to help people get stuff done. I would definitely hire them again, and plan to do so this fall. It was very nice to have a positive, low-drama, no-surprises home project.

Tree roots had caused a collapse in my clay drain pipe making the washer back up into the basement. I am so grateful to Armando and his team for taking care of what could have been a nightmare situation in my home. I can't can't say enough good things about them...Armando even saved the city tree (not the culprit) in front of my home. They also replaced my water line a few years ago. Really good people and so professional!

What an amazing job they did. They dug up so much and they found a replaced the pipe and they put everything together so well that the insurance guy who came over to check things right after did not even believe any work was done!!!! The insurance guy said it was the best job he has ever seen! See photos of before and after. The whole was huge and it was done using a large backhoe. They also did the same amazing job in the basement. The cement was a bit wet when my sister took a photo. I could not be there to help my sister as I am in Massachusetts and there are COVID restrictions but I am very grateful to this company and the hardworking employees who did such an amazing job for them. Thank you!

Bob and his crew installed an underground drainage system for a downspout at my house. I had had…read moreproblems with basement flooding when the previous downspout drainage system became blocked. Bob recommended a new type of drainage system and did an excellent job installing it. The way it is designed, it is highly unlikely that my basement will ever flood again. It looks very good and is hardly noticeable. They did a thorough clean-up after the work was completed. All this was done at a very reasonable price. Bob and his crew were very pleasant and easy to work with. I highly recommend Global Basement Waterproofing and would definitely use them again.

I just had Midland Roofing replace the shingles on my house. What a great experience it was working…read morewith Dennis and his crew. From the beginning Dennis was very professional and his price was competitive with the other four roofing contractors I met with. I just felt that Dennis was a bit more knowledgeable about the product options and the installation details. His warranty was also better than the competition. He scheduled the installation at our convenience and his crew was absolutely amazing. We had between 12 and 18 workers on the job throughout the day and they were incredible. Hard working, polite, friendly and incredibly efficient. The site supervisor (Rick) was here all day making sure that everything went well and explained everything that was being installed and answered all of our questions. They covered our decks and gardens and at the end of the day they cleaned up everything. 13 hours later they were done. A beautiful new roof. I would highly recommend Midland Roofing to all of my friends and family.

He responded quickly to any questions we came up with before and aftethe installation. We chose the GAF Roofing system for which Midland has top certifications and qualifications. We also chose their financing option, which gives us 0% interest for one year. The crew was highly professional and completed the entire roof in one day, leaving the yard spotless. We're entirely happy with Midland Roofing and highly recommend them.

He does not add on any extra costs, he is trustworthy and I would highly recommend Mitchell Brothers Cleaning. The property that he repaired and cleaned was done in timely manner and the outcome was incredible. I handed Kevin the key and felt completely comfortable,there was no need to be overlooking his work, he called when complete and I couldn't of been any happier. Will surely not hesitate to hire Mitchell Brothers again. This is important, being a single female and looking for contractors that do not jack up the prices or do any extra work and try to take advantage of my lack of knowledge is hard to find these days. Mitchell Brothers can be trusted. Call Kevin, his work ethic goes above and beyond, you will be pleased. Christina T.
