Arbor Care took a unique job for me and they were fantastic!…read moreMy home is a hillside residence in Ilwaco with a view of the river. Except across the street on a vacant lot there are tall trees obstructing the view. So I inquired with the City to obtain a permit. That was four years ago. After a "Geotechnical Survey", "Soil Compaction Analysis, a certified arborist's (Arbor Care) plan, and many thousands of dollars, Arbor Care cut down two 100ft tall trees leaving the stumps and logs to become "Nursery Logs" that protect and nurture new growth. Arbor Care worked well with the City and the plan was completed exactly as I had pictured.

Their website is helpful showing pictures of the product; however the pricesheet was dated and inaccurate - you should expect prices to be somewhat higher.

The unbelievably courteous loader driver told us how to position the truck, and he gently plopped my 1/2 yard of bark. We were disappointed that the 'medium bark' was extremely fine, almost dirt like. Just our luck I think. their website say you can fill a 5-gal bucket with material for $5. Might try that.

They did a decent job on the interior and exterior highlighting all the potential issues and issues but fell short on the inspection of the crawl space. The gentleman poked his head in and took a few photos and just said the access was to small but it appeared to be good in their. And the supports looked good. He wouldn't crawl in because the entrance was about 12inches and "the standard is 18"). On the exterior there are pretty decent cracks on majority of all the crawl space vents that surround the perimeter of the house. MY NUMBER 1 concern with the house were the cracks in the foundation and they couldn't crawl under.... When it comes to inspections of homes the inspector should be capable of crawling under no matter how bad it might be. I paid full price for what I feel was a 70pct job. Now that I'm getting quotes of up to 6k for someone to put in support beams and post because all of the support underneath is failed I feel that is unacceptable and should have been confirmed and made aware of at the time of my inspection. 2 people have crawled under there since with zero issues. Albeit the entrance is small but it opens up! The tenacity was good at first and I don't want this to be a bash fest! I hope for future inspections they take the time to evaluate the property in full and prevent situations like this.

Chimco brought a dog into my house (I do not have a dog, I have a cat). Chimco penned the dog up in my kitchen pantry area, and it defecated many times. It was cleaned up very poorly. Chimco didn't clean up any of the dust, let the dog run around the house, I had dog paw prints everywhere. Chimco didn't put any plastic up to keep the dust away from the kitchen, bathrooms, living rooms, bedrooms. I spent three days cleaning up the mess. Chimco covered the hole in the roof with a tarp, held together by painters tape. Yes, the blue tape that isn't designed to stick to much. After the worker stated he'd been released from prison, he didn't put the key back where it was supposed to be. Chimco did not give me the key back. They still haven't. I paid to have all locks re-keyed. When I spoke to the owner (Jesse) he said I had every right to be upset, but if I wanted any money back, it would come out of the employees check, Jesse explained that the dog was there as an emotional support animal, the employee was going through a tough divorce and the dog makes him feel better. I paid $5,000.00 to have the chimney removed. Chimco did very bad work. I don't recommend them.

I strongly advise to look elsewhere. I needed a gas insert repaired during the power outage. For…read morestarters, at the discounted rate of $350, Chimcare charges $100 more than most repair specialists in the area just to walk in the door for the evaluation. When I asked what would happen if the unit could not be repaired on the visit/inspection, I was told an estimate would be worked up with the part in question. Once the attached estimate was provided, it was then clarified that Chimcare would not replace a specific part. "The reason for the Pilot Assembly along with the Gas Valve is because that is the only way Chimcare allows me to do. It is their company policy to perform a complete Refurbishment instead of replacing one part." So to confirm, if you need a REPLACEMENT company, Chimcare is for you, If you need a repair specialist, not so much. Also, please see the attached quote, I was told that the fireplace would not work properly with a cracked log (This was the log in the very back that does not touch the burner and is only aesthetic and has nothing to do with performance). In total, Chimcare's estimate was over $3100 to repair my unit. I elected to go with Sure Flame (503.543.3312) who repaired my unit in total for $450 (this includes their site visit). In summary, Chimcare did not communicate their position on only replacing full assemblies. If they were above board and communicated this, I would have never booked the appointment. Regarding their quote, at $1610 for the material for a Pilot Assembly and Gas Valve Kit, and $1128 for a log set, this is clear customer price gouging. That same log set can be bout through Class Pool and Spa for $299. Run from this company for fire insert repairs. Call Sure Flame, they will take great care of you!

I've noted their drivers are careful and good at their jobs. A great perk of being an Astoria customer is they send you a window sticker that lets you go in and drop off consumer volumes of yard debris at this collection facility. We've dropped off dead appliances here as well for a fee. I've noted there is a standalone hazardous waste building as well, not sure of its time/availability. Terriific service with a wave and a smile here. Believe it or not, their website does not provide the address nor a map of where this is! I'd say their IT dept needs some help.
