I remembered that the man who installed the water pump for my well told me if I ever needed a plumber, Empire was the best. He was spot on. Dustin came yesterday morning soon after I spoke with Michelle in the office. He is an exceptional plumber and a nice guy. He assessed the situation, explained what had to be done, warned me that he might have to open the wall and started the project. I swear he was done in less than 20 minutes. He did not have to open the wall and placed a new valve on the pipe. It's perfect. I did laundry last night and it was a pleasure that everything was perfect. The charge was very fair and I will never call any other plumber. Thank you.

We hired them in 2015 to do an energy audit and then to execute the changes needed to bring our 1930's (needs work) house up to more contemporary energy standards.

His price was fair and did not have to wait very long for the service. On the first day of work, Bill was there to introduce me to the four men who would be working on my home.

(Sidebar. One bonus. Adam, who was in charge of the crew, is tall and happily helped me change a few lightbulbs too.) This crew worked great together and did a great job. You could tell they liked one another and liked and respected Bill. Bill came back after the job was complete to make sure everything was done right.

I had been considering paving my driveway for years, and when I finally built a garage and added a…read moresecond driveway, I knew now was the time. I had seen signs for The Paving Company around and the work looked good, so I figured I would give them a shot. I was worried about the cost -- I had a lot of ground to cover -- but reached out and left a message on a Friday afternoon. I expected to hear back on Monday, but Alex called early Friday evening and offered to stop by 1pm on Saturday. I had 3 distinct areas that needed to be tied together -- an existing 35 yr old gravel driveway, a new 1 yr old gravel driveway, and a new "connection" between the two, to effectively make a "horseshoe" as viewed from the road. Alex did his measurements and quoted a number around 75% what I had estimated (and I always under-estimate). Based on existing work I had seen, I said "let's go for it." On Monday I thought they were going to just drop off some equipment, but he was actually able to get started! They excavated for the new driveway connection, and finding organic material there that wouldn't make for a good base, they ended up digging down 2-3 feet. They let it dry for a day and then filled it up with quality base material. No extra charge for the extra work and fill needed, but since we were under my budget I asked if he could put down and compact item 4 gravel next to the garage as an "overflow" area, and he agreed. On Wednesday they were there to put down item 4 over the entire area, and on Thursday they paved it all in about 4 hours. I could see the effort they put in throughout the entire process, and I was able to go from phone call to paved driveway in less than a week. I am a perfectionist (which I understand can make me difficult to work for ;-) and a DIYer for most things because my experience has been that contractors just don't always do things to my standards. But Alex and I were on the same page throughout this process, and I could see the pride in his face for the work he had done. And as I look at it now, it came out even better than I had imagined. My wife thinks I'm crazy to get so excited about a driveway, but I've literally waited 35 years for this dream garage and driveway. I'm very happy that Alex and his team were able to make it happen, I could not give a higher recommendation. Next step is landscaping, I hope I have as much success there :-)

What you should know: if you have a fireplace or plan to have one installed, or if you enjoy outdoor fireside evenings around the fire pit, you should contact Dan at the Bearded Cordsman. He will consult with you about what kind of wood would be the most effective for your situation. For example, I have a one year-old wood-burning fireplace insert which can only take wood of certain lengths. Every time DAN delivers to me, he is cognizant of that. I have enjoyed my fires so much this year. In addition to them being heat efficient, they are a pleasure with the beautiful wood that Dan has provided to me. His pricing is fair.
