Since then, whenever I've had a question or an issue, a call to Crisafulli takes care of it. Their crews are professional and efficient. And while plumbing and heating is never inexpensive, I never feel like I haven't got my money's worth. I have a service contract with them for our generator. And I have recommended them to neighbors on several occasions and they have been very satisfied. My grandfather established a plumbing and supply company in the Midwest that remains highly successful since it's establishment in 1933. So knowing that Crisafulli has been around for 85+ years gives me great confidence that they know what they're doing, and that they do it with integrity.

They don't pressure you to buy something you don't need, however were willing to quote any unit you might be interested in. The crew led by Jeff, Amanda's husband, was polite and efficient.

Comfort mechanics deserves 10 stars. I am not being paid to write this. I know people read reviews…read morein an attempt to make a knowledgeable decision. The situation: My 25+ year old furnace was making a noise the day after Christmas 2022. The previous company I had look at the furnace back in August had informed me it was on its last leg. I attempted to call that company again for service. I didn't know it at the time, but it was lucky that they didn't answer their phone (despite indicating they were operating 24/7). Doing a little more research online I realized there were some legal issues stemming from bad business practices. So I did what everyone else does --I Googled to see who I could get to come check out the noise. My dad had always done all my plumbing and heating, but he passed away a year ago. I knew I was going to need to establish a new business relationship with a plumbing and heating company. Enter Comfort Mechanics. 1. They answered their phone. There was no attitude, only friendly customer service. I expected no one would be available until the next day to come out and check it, but I was wrong. Jeff was there within an hour and he called first. 2. The problem was quickly diagnosed and fixed. That's all he had to do. But once again, excellent customer service came in to play. Jeff noticed my furnace was not just on its last leg, but that something was cracked and most likely was leaking carbon monoxide. He offered to install a CO detector for my -- and my pets'--safety. 3. Satisfied that I had a CO2 detector, he went on to discuss the new problem and confirmed what I already knew: It was time for a whole new unit. It was just one more very large stress that I wished I could've avoided. But it's important to have safely running heat and air conditioning. Jeff walked me through a lot of options explaining the pros and the cons of each one and gave pricing that he could back up. Obviously any job could take more time or need more parts once you get into it, but he was able to back up the ballpark figures. His quote was half of what the other company had given me. Another perk was the new unit I was buying came with a sizable rebate from National Grid. But we all know what a hassle rebates can be, and we all know how difficult power companies can be. Here's the best part: Jeff's wife takes care of the submissions for the rebates. All she needed was the account name and number. That extra little bit of customer service is worth it's weight in gold. 4. If you have read this far, thank you, and I'll cut to the chase because I understand all you want to know is whether you should go with this company. I found this company and its staff to be friendly, polite, knowledgeable, trustworthy -- and could not have been more impressed. This is a family-owned and family-run business. They are honest and they back up their work. In the middle of my project they found other serious problems, and they communicated every step of the way. I always knew the full extent of the problem and was in complete control of the decision making for the solution. They cleaned up my messy basement and took away all the old units and even a couple other old pumps I had lying around. They were super considerate of my time, my money, my property and that I didn't want my pets to get out. Their clothes were clean and neat and their van cleaner and neater than my house! When I got a Walmart delivery during the project, I even had help carrying in the bags! The bottom line is when you have plumbing/heating/air conditioning problems it is going to be stressful unless you know how to fix it yourself. But Comfort Mechanics gave me peace of mind. I now know if I have any problems I have someone I can call who truly operates 24/7 and can fix my issues quickly and correctly. This is a hometown company with professionalism that is rarely seen nowadays. I would highly recommend them, and I plan on using Comfort Mechanics for all my future, HVAC needs. I am recommending them to everyone I know, from my neighbors to complete strangers. I feel as secure now as I did when my dad was alive. Thank you Comfort Mechanics!

We were really not able to do a great job in trimming the huge shrub last year, so he hired Endless Summer to trim the shrub this year. An awesome job was done today! So beautiful! The cost was worth all the hard work and the hours it took to make our shrub look like it did when we moved into our townhome. The cost was also worth it because I do not want my husband getting on a ladder to do the work which really requires a taller ladder and a two man job. Thank you to the Endless Summer team for making our back yard look great again. See you next October.

Michael removed and reconstructed the wood entryway (see picture). Michael also did significant replacement of rotted wood/rotted decking, scraping and repainting of two porches (see pictures). On our side porch he removed a rotted column base and reconstructed a new base off-site while supporting the porch roof using an effective and efficient method (picture). We also had him strip and repaint an exterior door that had been poorly painted by a previous contractor. The quality of workmanship that Michael delivers is simply outstanding. Also, he constantly communicated with us throughout the process - we knew in advance when he would be on-site. His painting is impeccable. We are grateful to Michael for his time, workmanship and we look forward to putting him to work here again!

Teakwood Builders, Inc.

While this company's concierge service was decorating a local Saratoga house (as they do every…read moreyear) with mostly absent homeowners, one of the staff they employ to do the work was absolutely rude to a neighborhood of year round Saratogian residents. Using a lift crane to decorate their customers home they completely blocked the street for hours and yelled at the residents to "go around the block" and at one point even gave the middle finger to two of us. Rather than say "sorry for the inconvenience and would you mind going around temporarily", they chose to be extremely rude. I find this unacceptable for a company that touts themselves as "local".

Everybody's contractor experience is unique so please read my review with this in mind…read more We moved to Saratoga in 2009 and bought a "problem" home... a Victorian which had been carved into units by owners who had little regard for the integrity of the building. Our goal was to restore it to its original liveability as a single family home. Teakwood has a reputation as expensive and our initial bid, to do everything on a wish list, was pretty high. But they worked with us and a revised bid was significantly lower and we went with them. This bid entailed a clear-eyed distinction between "need to" and "nice to" improvements so we ended up with a price we were happy with. The quality of the work, both by Teakwood carpenters and their subs, is superb. Teakwood has a philosophy of assigning a master carpenter to oversee the job and our guy, Dan Decenzo, could not be better. Josh, the guy who did a number of built-ins, is a master of his craft and we now have benches and bookcases that look like they have been there 130 years like the rest of the structure. We were offered a 1 year satisfaction guarantee and I'm prompted to write because, well over 1 year after the fact, Dan has been back recently to fix a couple minor things. Bottom line, we are really happy with Teakwood and would definitely recommend you bid out your project to them.
