Uriel happens to live next-door and he has stood behind the workmanship. He's been very helpful at connecting me with some of the subcontractors he used so that I could do a few little changes or upgrades here and there. And when we did have any minor issues either he stood behind it or the subcontractor that did the work took care of it. I wouldn't have any hesitation about buying another house from Uriel.

I called Bond for a quote on a house that I am in the process of purchasing. While I received a…read morecall back from a manager or owner fairly quickly, he introduced himself as Valverde rather than Bond. I don't recall phoning Valverde, thus confusion regarding what type of service provider was calling, as I have made many calls to a few types of repair people for multiple quotes. When I asked for clarity, the person on the other end of the line was rude in response... within the first 10 seconds. Ok, I'll let that slide--maybe he hasn't had his coffee yet. During the call, as we were discussing the replacement of kitec plumbing--a well documented safety risk with a class-action lawsuit that makes homes uninsurable--the owner was rude in tone. I got the impression that our phone call was annoying to him, and he likely thinks I am stupid. He asserts that the recalled plumbing is fine unless visibly leaking and "its basic" to tell if it leaks. This information is demonstrably FALSE as documented clearly in the class action suit. I let him go mid call. Not only is he rude, but misinforming a potential customer in a negligent manner. Hopefully his license covers negligence, as he might need it. If I am going to give someone tens of thousands of dollars to do work in my home, it is reasonable to expect a basic level of respect during the first phone call (and beyond). After speaking to the presumed owner, I feel bad for whomever the nice secretary is. She must be on the receiving end of his customer service skills all day. I will never call this company again.

Thank you for making my projects come to life!

Great example of an old school lumber yard and hardware store…read more I needed some parts to install a toilet and they had exactly what I needed, and it was in stock- not just an empty hangar on the wall, mocking me, like so many places I shop- including Lowe's which is my go-to back home. I grew up in Dallas and currently live in a suburb of Dallas. So I'm living in a metroplex of 6.8 million people. I own a small place in Taos now, and for sure it is a radical change, but one I welcome. So a bit of history for those who came from elsewhere. I recall when most hardware and lumber operations closed at noon on Saturday, and virtually everything was closed on Sunday (Texas Blue Law). Most retail stores closed at 5 or 6 pm weekdays, except might stay open to 9 pm on Thursdays. This was customary. I lived in a small town of less than 1,500 people in North Texas 40 years ago. They "rolled up the streets" around noon on Saturday back then, and most businesses still do. So I have seen both sides of this issue. For the working man who is into DIY, it makes it difficult to work on a project over the weekend. When I get started on a project Saturday morning, I can't say how many times I realized I needed something else to finish it, but it was after everything closed, so I was stuck until Monday morning. Not good if it is the only toilet in the house. But I also understand how valuable it is to owners and employees to have time off themselves, and how we should all take a breath and relax. In that small town in North Texas, if my ox ended up in the ditch, I could call the owner of the hardware store or the lumber yard and they would meet me at the store and get me what I needed. Taos is too big to operate like that, and times have changed, as have people. Moral of the story, there are two sides to this issue. The business owner takes a hit when you go to WalMart, Espanola or Santa Fe to shop when his/her store is closed. They have judged it is worth the loss for whatever reason- custom, rest, whatever. I won't hold it against them and will try to support a family business whenever I can.
