CJ Malphurs Septic Tank Service

I contacted several companies to have our septic tank cleaned. Malphurs Septic came out cleaned my…read moretank and told me that my drain pipe wasn't working properly and I should consider a new system. So I called the office and they help walk us thru everything. That's when it went astray. They had one of their foreman's bring the paperwork to us to sign and give them a check. I asked if the amount was for everything, he wasn't sure but the woman in the truck was telling him it was. She got out and assured me that the amount of the check was the full price. I get an e-mail a week later with quotes that need to be signed and the amount had an additional $500 added. When I question it they said it was for the environmentalist, but the woman that came to our house said that was included in the amount on the check. Finally they took the $500 off and we proceeded with the job. We started this process in Oct and we are still working on it (Feb). It was supposed to be a 1 day job but I had to take 3 days off work. The first day they were supposed to be at my house at 8:30 am. I received a call at 8:00 am saying a part didn't come in but the electrician was still coming so had to still stay home all day. The 2nd day they were supposed to be at my house around 8:30-9:00 am (only 3 people came), they didn't get there until about 10:30 am. They worked the whole day, the inspector showed up at the scheduled appointment time and they weren't even close to being ready for him. The inspector came back close to 4:00 pm and they still were not close. They didn't leave until dark. They told me they would have to come back tomorrow. I had to contact my supervisor to request an additional day off. Day 3 they came back (only 2 people) around 9:30 am they worked most the day but when they went to lunch they took my phone number and said they would call me when they were headed back. They never called and took at least one and a half hour lunch. They broke a water pipe, tore out several of our underground sprinklers (didn't cape any of them off) left part of the PVC pipe sticking out of the ground, never finished leveling out our yard. Tore up the yard with the big equipment, tore our driveway up and hit our electric gate bending it. The next day I was expecting the Malphurs to contact me about our gate. I never heard from them so I called. I asked what we were going to do about the gate. I was told nothing today. I wasn't expecting them to come out in the pouring rain but an apology or something would have been nice. Now they won't answer my calls or e-mails. We are going to have to replace our own gate and pay someone else to come finish leveling out our yard. They are supposed to come check the new system in 6 months but I'm pretty sure that won't happen either. So whatever you do make sure everything is in writing as to any damages that accrue days needed to complete the project or expect to pay for the damages they do and to have someone else check your new system.

They came and I was talking to the guys and let them know (unfortunately) that I had never had septic before and was new to the area. Well, all of a sudden they start talking that "something" was wrong with my "drain field" and that it needed replacement. I was horrified and ignorant. I called the office after they left from draining my tank, and I talked to the manager of the place. He told me it would cost me 10K for a new field!! I told him I didn't have that kind of money and he said to call the City and they might have a "Grant" to pay for it. I did and there was NO Grant. The guys doing the clean out, also had told me I would need another clean out in 30 days. I said how would I know when? They said my toilets would start gurgling... Well that NEVER happened and I stopped the work on doing any "drain field," at that point, I was suspicious of this Co. (don't remember why). Maybe it was because both my neighbors said they had NEVER had their septic tanks cleaned out in 30 yrs. Anyway, my drain field is fine and this Company is taking advantage of ignorant, elderly women apparently, after reading other reviews like mine. Do yourself a favor and STAY AWAY!!!

Located two leaks, one next to our building and second leak under a sidewalk. They cut the concrete fixed the supply line and put the concrete back into place and saved me $ by not complete busting up my sidewalk. The second was a quick response, less than 15 minutes to call back and 3 hours on site for a major water leak under an asphalt parking lot. They coordinated with other contractors to cut the asphalt and completely took care of the job. Followed up to make sure I was happy with the work. The third was a toilet that wouldn't stop flush. Not a typical fix. Roots had grown 20' into and clogged the waste line. Brought in a power auger and cleaned out the roots. Fixed in about six hours after calling. Thanks for the hard work! I'll call them again when needed.

Multiple fence post were not set properly or filled back in. Multiple slats were not nailed on top left completely loose. The gate dragged so bad on the driveway it could not be opened. Very poor workmanship overall. I accepted things happen and asked them to correct the issues. After 20 plus phone calls and text for months they never once showed back up. I was told numerous different dates they would arrive but no call / no show. Seems as if a fence company would be able to properly install a fence but clearly not. Please do yourself a favor and do not use them. You will have to pay another company even more money to come repair their mistakes.

Two months later my door came off the tracks. I called the number on the Kelly's website, and the cell's voicemail directed me to call their office number. The gentleman on the phone, who they call "Crusty", was super helpful. He asked what the issue was, and told me a maximum amount of money I should expect to pay, which was far lower than I thought it would be. The next day, Kelly showed up to look at my door. He got it back on the tracks, but had to order a new main spring for the door, which was going to take less than a week with their parts arriving on a Tuesday. He would not take a check until after the parts came in and were installed. Sure enough, Tuesday morning at 8:24am, Kelly calls me to tell me the parts are in and he should be at my home in one hour. Wow. He arrived, installed the parts and the door works great. The cost was about half as much as Crusty quoted me, which was a nice surprise. I also ordered the weather seal to go around the outside of my door. Once again, the price is a fraction of what I thought it would cost and he won't accept payment until it is installed. He will install this next week and send me an invoice! Do business with this company, you won't be disappointed.

So I spent considerable amount of time searching for a roofing company that was reliable and yet affordable. I contacted several such companies, regarding a new roof and skylight and McKeithan and Sons were the first to respond. I found the receptionist to be warm and helpful. Although we interviewed 2 other well-respected roofing companies, our experience just flowed very smoothly. The representative, Travis, was very informative, answered all of our questions, and we were impressed with his knowledge and genuine, helpful attitude. We were kept informed of the date and time the roofers would arrive, so their were no surprise knocks on the door! We recieved a contract explaining all the details within days of agreement. The men worked arrived at 7:30, and steadily worked hard until they got the roof completed by 5:30 PM. The workers were very polite and respectful. They cleaned up any and all debris and placed in a portable dumpster. The next day this dumpster was picked up and removed by 9PM. Later in the day,Travis arrived to inspect the roof, the surrounding yard, and found a couple of nails, in an odd place too hard for the roofer's magnets to locate. Such a thorough job. Now, this is what I'm talking about. Why can't we get this kind of service from other company/corporate services? Perhaps because McKeithen and Sons is family owned and is local and has 40 years of experience in serving the Tallahassee citizenry. shop local whenever you can.

They had the nerve to tell me that "putting dirty dishes into dishwasher is not their job" and that they "don't have time to run washers on full cycle". Instead, they want guests to do dishes and laundry before check-out, which is absurd when guests also pay a hefty cleaning fee.
