We posted a review recently but want to update our neighborhood response to the efforts of…read moreManagement Services and the City of New Bern. Frustration had reached a high and fed up with the deterioration of our neighborhood we got the City folks involved in our clean up effort. We also gave Management Services an opportunity to solve the problems their tenants were creating with garbage piles and trash/recycle bins not being returned to units after they were emptied. We're pleased to say that with everyone working together, the majority of the problems have been rectified. The City sent out letters reminding people of proper trash handling and the necessity of getting trash and recycle bins out of the roadway when emptied. Management Services has someone in the area regularly keeping an eye on things. Our neighborhood is looking so much better. We still have a few people who just don't get it, but we now have confidence that Management Services will continue to educate their tenants and that the City Solid Waste Manager, David Cox will be keeping an eye on our neighborhood. Thank you, Mr. Cox and thank you, Management Services for your efforts on behalf of College Park!

He has done our deck, reconfigured our kitchen, living and dining areas for an open concept and updated our kitchen-so far. He has also constructed a seat and pergola on our dock walkway. We couldn't be more pleased!

I can't say enough good things about the Tyson group! They assisted us in purchasing a lovely home…read morein a great area at an excellent price! Our agent, Becky Bengel, was just an amazing professional who guided us every step of the way. She worked with us as out-of-state (CA) buyers and helped us to stay calm during some of our moving challenges and even provided assistance when our truck broke down in the Arizona desert! When making such a radical move, you really need an agent who truly CARES and who treats you like family. Becky is that person. She worked so hard to make our move and purchase as worry-free as possible. I also want to give a special shout-out to Maggie Bramwell, who was incredibly helpful, kind and encouraging throughout this process. I highly recommend Becky and the Tyson Group!

Fixed a fence on the property without authorization. I told them I didn't want to pay for it because I would've had my own contractor come out and not theirs. They said I wouldn't have to pay for it. They snuck it on to my bill and only refunded me the money when I called them out about it.

Horrible move out experience as a tenant. Probably terrible to be a tenant at all with them but the…read morehomeowner switched property management groups and they only managed our property 4 months while we lived there. In that time they found a way to do 3 different inspections and then act like they know how the property was provided to us two years prior. Blamed us for stuff with no explanation or even providing the move out inspection prior to assessing charges. The owner is rude and snarky when asking for an explanation and I'm pretty convinced they fake their work invoices since they refused to provide anything more than an unsigned proposal for painting. They also charged us for a storm door repair when the house has no storm door, and refused to clarify that one too after asking multiple times. Can't prove it but has sketchy written all over it. We didn't agree to live in one of their properties just got screwed at the end of our lease. If you have the choice, do not rent from their properties. Unnecessary headache and stress.

He does good work, and he goes the extra mile to figure out complex problems and save you money…read more That matters most. Lizard with a ladder also upholds the stereotypes of contractors. We had him out several times, and he missed his promised time every single time. We had to call several times when he forgot he was supposed to be at our job. Still, once he was there, he would work diligently and make every effort to do things the right and best way, not the easiest way. He did not take shortcuts, and you want an electrician who cares about doing your wiring correctly. He also took the time to solve problems we presented that were not part of the original plan, and he added them in at a fair price. This probably explains why he was often late. It can be hard to know how long a job will take, especially when you are doing your best to do things safely and correctly and taking the time to do it right. So we were understanding about that, once at our house, he often stayed longer than scheduled to make sure we were happy and the job was done correctly. We will use him again.

After Hurricane Florence here on the NC Coast, my former (rental) home had to be gutted and the prospects of finding a new home (or even storage for my belongings, because of the unique circumstances of the hurricane devastation) were dismal, according to other agents. Nevertheless (this is a true story !), one call to Margaret Hitchcock allowed me (through her efforts) to purchase a new home within a matter of hours of its listing and her follow up services were amazing (she handled everything incredibly efficiently and with minimal cost for me). Within 30 days I was relocated in my new home (delighted with it) and ... well, what else can I say ... truly amazing. I really can't say any more than that. Highly recommended is putting it lightly !

This is the second time I have worked with Jeff and the crew at AdvantaClean of New Bern. When I…read moremoved into my 40-year-old house several years ago, I hired Jeff to clean up some cabinets that had developed mold from the house being shut up with no a/c for two years. He did a great job. So when we suffered water damage and subsequent mold issues this winter, I turned back to AdvantaClean. I am more than 100% pleased with the results. The damage involved two rooms. Jeff, Will, and some other workers worked very hard and with dedication to find all the damaged flooring and wall, get it out, clean everything up, and then fix it. I felt like they not only were hustling hard but that they were doing as good a job as if they were working on their own homes. I completely trust AdvantaClean, Jeff, Will and the crew to be honest, hardworking, skilled, and very thorough, and they get my highest recommendation.
