Greenbar Excavation

I had a gas leak in the Gas Fireplace supply and the elbow off the gas meter outside. I called…read moreGuarino Pluming Services (GPS) on Thursday morning to see if they could handle it, they said yes, and they came over a couple hours later - between jobs - to scope out the problem and give me an estimate. He came back later on Thursday and tightened the fitting on the fireplace supply line (it was loose) and repaired the leak at the meter. He checked fir leaks, I gave him the $175 and he left. The gas company came to turn the gas back on and when using their gas detector, they found the leak at the meter was fixed, but the fireplace (inside the house) was not & they turned the gas back off. I called GPS back and told him the leak was still there and was he expressed surprise and stated he'd come back tomorrow to try again. Friday he returned and went thru the process of removing the coupling, trimming the end of the pipe, and reassembling the coupling and tightening it down - fully (nut to nut). We turned on the gas and he sprayed it down with a weakened solution of liquid soap and didn't notice any bubbles or smell of gas... and he left. A few of hours later, I came into the living room only to smell gas again. I then tested used full strength Dish soap & viola! Large bubbles of slowly escaping gas from between the fitting and the hose. I called & left voicemail & messaged GPS. I then searched the internet about the coupling/pipe combination and found information in the proper way to install the fitting (which the repairman had not followed). He had placed the split coupling too close to the end of the corrugated pipe and had bottomed out the fitting - both of which were not the recommended procedure. He called Saturday morning to tell me he'd have to order a new fitting, and that would be until at least Monday before he could order one and he didn't know when it would actually arrive. I told him what I found on the internet yet he didn't offer to come back and see if he could try it again On Sunday, I went to Home Depot in Redmond and found a replacement fitting for $12 and bought the tools to do it myself for another $40. They also had a combustible gas detector for $31. On Monday morning, I pulled the coupling apart and confirmed it was assembled incorrectly and repaired it myself! I then turned the gas back on, tested the fitting for leaks, and viola! no leaks!! Problem Solved!!! Opinion/Conclusion: This should have been an easy fix and while I know that no one can know everything about every type of connector they may come across in the field, with the internet and YouTube, it's frequently a simple search to find someone who knows what you are facing and how to properly adjust or troubleshoot the problem. Additionally, when there is the possibility that you've assembled the part incorrectly, leaving the customer stranded for the entire weekend is plainly poor customer service - as is getting mad at them for suggesting that perhaps you assembled the fitting incorrectly (especially after they told you what they found on the internet) or that perhaps you should invest in a cheap ($31) combustible gas detector so that you could be sure there were no gas leaks before you leave the job site. Furthermore, when it gets fixed by the customer using the exact methods they told you about, an apology for the attitude and inconvenience would go a long way towards mending your reputation. A partial refund would be worth considering as well. Now, I'm not saying Guarino Plumbing Services (GPS) can't handle standard plumbing issues but I cannot recommend GPS to anyone.

We had a contract for him to remove fill dirt and put down erosion control, and he did not seem to follow the contract on many levels. We had to hire someone else to correct what they did because we continued to have issues. Consultants told us that he left 3-4 feet of dirt that was all supposed to have been removed down to native and that he put the erosion materiel the wrong way on the hill. We asked him to come back and fix what he failed to do, but he refused. If you want someone honest, in my opinion, I would not recommend anyone hire this guy!

We cannot say enough good things about Cascade Land Development…read more As new homeowners we had no experience dealing with contractors or the county, we needed to upgrade our septic system in order to hookup a mother-in-law unit on our property, but we were lost to say the least. We went through three contractors when we found Matt. The first one bowed out because the project was "too much," the second ghosted us after three weeks, and the third only did a portion of what he included in his bid. Matt swooped in and rescued us. He was straight-forward and on top of everything from day one. He went above and beyond to help us navigate what we needed to do with the county and graciously made himself available for our dumbest of questions. He even put us in touch with the other service professionals that we needed to finish the project (and they were good too!). The job he did was prompt and quality. He's a trustworthy guy that you can tell takes pride in his work- and he had affordable rates! 10/10 Highly recommend!

I was planning on looking around for someone to do this work. Before I started to look for a company, I received a nice "welcome to the neighborhood" post card from Cascade Land Development. I reached out to them and they quickly looked at the work that needed to be done. Their quote was about what I expected. As a bonus they also guided me about filling out a Fuel Reduction plan with a state agency. This allowed me to recover $500 back from the cost of the clean up. They did a great job on the lot and it looks exactly the way we wanted it. This is despite them running into a yellow jackets next on the property. "We got pretty tore up". I highly recommend Cascade Land Development and look forward to working with them again.

The work was completed well, and I'm happy with the outcome. When it came time for billing, I was surprised to learn that a second technician had been onsite, as that hadn't been discussed in advance. As a result, the labor cost came in about 2x higher than I expected. To be fair, I live on the second floor of a condo (with elevator access), and the installation was more complex due to the flooring, so I don't question the time or effort involved. To avoid any budget surprises, I would recommend confirming upfront how many technicians will be assigned to the job. Overall, I would work with Jason again and would recommend him to others. UPDATE- I had a small leak with one of the toilets and Jason came out right away to adjust it. He definitely stands behind his work! I originally set the review at 4 stars, but have adjusted it up to 5 stars because of this. Thanks Jason!

The third visit, they spend a few hours working on an outside hose bib and then went to show my wife what was completed and she turned on the bib to check it and it still was doing the exact same thing. They took a few more minutes and flipped a gasket and it was fixed but all the other time seemed wasted. The business owners were also 45 minutes late to that third appointment and then fought with each other in front of our house. Very unprofessional. Then, they left the hose bib with a big hole instead of buttoning everything up.

We used Muck septic 10 years ago to replace a septic that was damaged by a contractor and they did…read morea fabulous job, so we decided to call them when we purchased a new place to do a pump and inspection. Unfortunately we did not receive the great same service. The original owner sold the business and the standard of service has really dropped. My first clue should of been how unprofessionally the phone was answered. The woman who answered the phone sounded distracted, not sure of what she was doing and kept asking someone next to her the answers to my questions. The second red flag was the so called inspection which consisted of an invoice with one line stating "Septic seems to be working." After we moved into the house a week later we could smell the septic, which wasn't there before. I called Muck to ask questions/advice, once again I got the same woman who didn't have a clue and she proceed to tell me, "oh something must be wrong with the septic." I said, you just inspected it and you told us everything was okay and now you're telling me something is wrong! She started to back pedal what she told me and said she would send someone out to have a look. I asked her to call me when the person came out so I could see what was going on. Three weeks and no one ever turned up and no phone call. I called them again, the same woman told me oh we went out and had a look and everything was fine. I asked her, how did you get back there with a locked gate and septic tank that's under a deck with a large stone table on top it? Again, she promised me they would come out on the Friday, surprise, surprise no one turned up! I would not recommend Muck to anyone, quality of service is very poor, the don't stand by their work and they are either absent-minded or lairs.
