Tanner Excavating is AMAZING!…read more We recently needed to have our orangeburg sewer pipe replaced from our house to the sewer main in the street. After speaking to several companies, we chose to have Tanner Excavating (family-owned business based in Dexter, Michigan) complete our job. Pat and Alicia Tanner are the owners and their children also work in the business as well as an additional 3 great guys. From our first contact with Pat and Alicia, we were impressed with their responsiveness, professionalism, communication, and their critical thinking skills surrounding the specifics of our job. Pat came over the same day and immediately noticed our extensive landscaping near the house and offered several ideas for alternative approaches for completing the work. I was especially concerned about a beautiful, large red maple tree which was right next to where they needed to dig. The crew came up with solutions to preserve the tree and worked carefully to protect the rest of my landscaping. (They will be back in the spring time to finish up the finer details that couldn't be done in the winter!)( Pat communicated with me regularly as he began pulling permits with the city and lining up the start date. He brought over his crew a few days early to look at the work that needed to be done, to meet me, and to answer all of my questions. It was clear from the way that Pat interacted with his crew that he valued and respected them and their work ... and it was clear that Pat had been doing this kind of work himself for years. They tossed ideas around together and collaborated on solutions. It was also clear that his crew enjoy working for Tanner Excavating. They later repeatedly told me how much they feel valued and taken care of by Pat, the owner. I love that the crew feels valued and respected! The crew encountered unexpected and unheard of difficulties in the roadway but they consistently conveyed patience, confidence, problem solving skills, and passion for what they were doing. Abe, Michael, and Zane were super friendly and remained positive and optimistic in all of our interactions and through all of the challenges in the roadway. I loved that they welcomed all of my questions and encouraged me to come and watch what they were doing because I was so curious. Abe, Michael, and Zane made the tough work in the roadway look easy -- even after our 2-3 day job turned into a 6 day job due to these unforeseen circumstances! Pat Tanner consistently demonstrated a very strong sense of integrity, honesty, and work ethic! Even though the job became more extensive than originally expected and quoted, our final price was exactly the same as our quoted price. When I said that I felt badly that our job was more extensive than expected and that he may have lost money on our job, Pat responded with "Yes, it did take more than twice as long to complete than anticipated, but I told you a price ahead of time and that is what I am sticking to ... because that is just what you do!" The entire crew and team at Tanner are friendly, approachable, knowledgable, and professional, people who do a great job! I completely trust them and have been recommending them to everyone I know. It is not often that one can excitedly rave about an independent contractor ... but I am certainly filled with positive feedback about Tanner Excavating!

TL/DR: Tanner Excavating replaced our sewer pipe from the…read morelawn to the city pipe. They are professional, knowledgeable, thorough, efficient and responsive to communication. We had a clog pipe somewhere on our property. Michigan Power Rodding was called and they were unable to get through a clog. They sent a camera down our pipe and the camera hit a clog somewhere outside, possibly a collapsed sewer pipe. We called Tanner Excavating, and several other companies, to get quotes for the work. Mr. Patrick Tanner came out within 24 hours and gave us a ballpark number for replacing the clay pipe from our PVC pipe to the city pipe in the street, complicated by removing a tree on the easement. One company never showed up and one company didn't want to deal with the tree. Within the next 24-48 hours, Mr. and Mrs. Tanner had already communicated with a tree removal company to get a quote for the removal, communicated with the City to determine what was needed to start the work, communicated with me about a possible schedule to complete the work and sent me a complete quote for the work, which was within his ballpark estimate. After we signed the agreement, his crew arrived the day before I was told they would start to bring equipment. Abe and Zane were very professional, friendly and reassuring. The sewer line runs under our water line and they were impressively skilled with that heavy machinery. The extent of digging was also less than what I thought it would be. At the end of each day, Abe and Zane were able to reconnect our sewer so it was functional, fenced off the work site for safety, and kept our lawn, street and sidewalk clean. When we encountered another complication, Mr. Tanner, Abe and Zane went into troubleshooting mode. It was clear to me watching them interact, that Mr. Tanner respects his crew and his crew respects him. I cannot stress enough how professional, adept and kind they all were during a really stressful time. All told, Tanner Excavating dug up and replaced our sewer pipe, repoured our concrete curb, resurfaced the asphalt street where they dug, added topsoil, leveled and reseeded our lawn, documented everything with pictures and video, and were done in 4 1/2 working days.

When we first moved to saline around 2000, we needed some trees planted as our yard looked like a…read morebig field. We also had some low lying areas with big puddles. We bought 3 weeping willows and 3 river birch trees from Kevin with installation to be planted in the lowest laying part of the yard. The trees are all still thriving! The price was very reasonable and the trees were planted nice and straight and never moved despite many a 39 mph wind day. I think they must have staked them. Sadly, I had wanted one of the willows to be planted in the most watery part (a part which dries up in the late spring/early summer) because in early spring the lawn right there can't be mowed. I know weeping willows love water. The guys that came to plant the trees came when the ground was wet (it had just barely rained heavily the days right before) and said they couldn't plant a willow there. I asked if they could come back when it was dry and plant it, and they said no, but they could put one willow on each side of the water, so that is what we did. For over 15 years, the spot between the two willows has standing water and can't be mowed until mid-May. It's a small thing I know, but I really wish I had just said, leave a willow then and had someone else come and plant it a couple of weeks later. Still, the trees are doing wonderfully and are huge now! The same cannot be said of another nursery who planted cherry trees for us, all of which died 13 - 14 months after planting (past the one year warranty). Another nursery has planted blue spruces and crab apples all of which we had to adjust because they were all planted slanting to one side. Kevin's and Saline Landscaoe Contractors have both planted trees perfectly and they remained in perfect health. That's 2 out of 4 local companies. If you need lawn mowing, they said they are booked up for spring of 2018. I guess I would call them in the fall of the prior year to which you would need the mowing. Or maybe a year in advance? No one gave me an indication of when to call for future mowing contacts. Maybe they are constantly full unless someone moves away?

My experience has ranged from a single guy with ropes and a chainsaw, to a dozen men with heavy equipment deployed by a general-like figure barking orders and managing the job. The one redeeming part of my experience with The Lumberjacks was that they were able to get my large dead tree removed relatively quickly in the midst of a global pandemic. Originally it was going to take several weeks for them to arrive. But when I asked if there was any way to expedite the process, I was told "yes" if I was willing to pay a rush charge of $50. On a job that was going to cost over a grand, that was the bargain of the decade. The Lumberjacks brought a three person crew along with a lift that looked a little bit like a tank. We walked around the property to talk about other work I wanted done beyond the tree removal, and was quoted a price on the spot. I agreed, and the crew spent the rest of the day cutting wood. After they were done, I asked to be walked around to inspect the work. What I didn't see at the time was the damage that was caused to my property. I spoke to someone at my insurance company. They told me to call the tree trimmers. After calling The Lumberjacks to discuss the matter, I was unceremoniously directed to some fine print on the bottom of the estimate that said the company was not responsible for damages, or some such. Well, that just sucks. Now, by solving the problem of the dead tree, I have another problem to solve. And we're still in the midst of a global pandemic, which just makes everything harder. This was not the kind of experience that would encourage me to call The Lumberjacks again if I need additional tree work, nor would it give me the confidence to recommend them to others. I'm sure they work on lots of houses without doing damage. I'm sure mine was a rare fluke. And ultimately, it's less about the damage itself than it was about how this unfortunate situation was handled.

NOTE: This text has been added following the response to this review from Megan at Chelsea Plank…read moreand an email exchange yesterday with their Sales Manager. First, Megan's assumption that Chelsea Plank was not contacted by the retailer is erroneous, the retailer did reach out to them and their Sales Manager did respond to the retailer, I saved the original email exchanges with our retailer who mentions the Sales Manager by name. At the time the retailer replied "he (the Chelsea Plank sales manager) stated that the knots in the flooring are standard due to it being a character floor. And he does not supply or have recommendations on an epoxy to fill." I replied through their website yesterday as Megan instructed and was contacted by the same Sales Manager that responded to our retailer. He, like Megan, blamed the retailer, saying it failed to adequately describe to us the characteristics of the flooring we ordered. He completely ignored our complaint regarding the fully open holes in flooring, going so far as to say; "From the pictures, it looks that they are partially open (not all the way through)" despite my photo showing the pencils through the flooring(!), and my description of the problem in item 2 of my review below, quote "we found about half a dozen fully open knots that the installer overlooked" and also completely ignoring item 3 of my review, quote "It's been 4 months since installation, the 'partially open knots' continue to crack and become fully open knots!" I asked the Sales Manager to carefully re-read my concerns so he understands the issues before replying again, it's been 24 hours and no reply has been received. I stand behind my original comments regarding the poor quality of the Character Grade flooring and of their customer service. --------------Original review begins below---------------- We purchased the Craftsman Series, Heirloom Red Oak flooring from Chelsea Plank because we wanted hardwood flooring with a lot of character. 1. When the flooring was delivered I noticed a damaged box with wood splinters protruding. I told the delivery person I wanted to open and inspect the box before accepting it. I was told, "Sir, if you open the box I can't take it back." So I replied, "Then take it back and bring me another one." He replied, "If I take it back I can't guarantee the replacement will be of the same lot number, and so it might not match the others." So either accept the box and hope for the best, or reject it and hope for the best. I accepted the box but set it aside to be opened last if necessary. We had sufficient flooring to complete the job and that box was returned for a refund (we were charged a restocking fee, I thought this was inappropriate given the box was delivered damaged). 2. The Craftsman Series is a 'Character grade' hardwood. Chelsea Plank says that this flooring is "character grade lumber that includes partially open knots, bird peck, worm holes and mineral streaks". That's fine, we like wood with character and it's why we chose it, however after installation we found about half a dozen fully open knots that the installer overlooked, their warranty claims "each box may contain a small percentage of defects (normally less than 1%)" but our experience says 5% will be defective if a fully open knot is considered a defect. To the installer's credit he returned and filled each with a special blend of epoxy wood filler at his own effort and expense (when we asked Chelsea Plank for advice about filling the knots they said they didn't recommend it, but didn't offer an alternative), the only other option would have been to pull up the defective planks and ask for replacements. 3. It's been 4 months since installation, the "partially open knots" continue to crack and become fully open knots! My wife had been using a vacuum with a hard floor attachment and we discovered it has been sucking up the loose wood from the cracking knots. So now I'm keeping an eye on the floor and as I observe knots cracking I apply wood epoxy to secure them in place. 4. We reached out the Chelsea Plank through the retailer who we bought the flooring from, through their contact page on their website, and even to them through linkedin but basically we've been ignored. The Craftsman series is their highest grade of the 'Character grade' flooring, if that's true then God help you if you purchase the Cottage or Lodge series. I assume our experience with their customer service after the purchase, i.e., non-existent, will be true for others regardless of the grade of flooring you chose. These are the reasons I can't recommend Chelsea Plank Flooring.
