Three years ago we hired Busy B to power wash out house prior to it being painted. We couldn't…read morehave been happier with the service. Walt and his team were attentive, thorough, and went above and beyond to make sure the job was well done and that we were satisfied. Naturally, as we prepare to sell our house we wanted the same level of detail, so we called and scheduled with them again. I'm not sure within the last three years if this team was abducted by aliens and replaced by their evil doppelgangers, or if they just don't care anymore, but this experience was the polar opposite. The day prior to our appointment we received an email that gave some basic instructions, but what was striking was a paragraph that said "Please do not call us on the day of your job asking for a specific time. You will not be given one. Due to the nature of our work we cannot give out specific or estimated timing on the day of your scheduled job. You will receive an "on-the-way" text if you've provided a cell phone number." OK. That's a little off putting, but we get it. Some jobs are bigger than others, but even the cable guy gives you a range. Day of the appointment arrives and two hours are spent clearing the decks and porches. And the waiting begins..... Finally at 3:00pm a text is sent to the company to get an idea of the latest time they will arrive. At this time the office manager says, "Oh, he's been there and left". What? What happened to the on the way text? There was no knock on the door and no phone calls. Effectively the receptionist told us that there is a car blocking the driveway and he couldn't get his truck in to turn it around. No, we say. There is no car blocking the driveway, plenty of room. Actually, says the OM, you have a difficult driveway to get up and Walt (company owner) remembered this and didn't have the right equipment to get up your driveway. It's in the shop in Harrisonburg, so he's not going to be there today (we have a bit of a hill to get up). Wait we say, which is it? A car blocking the driveway or lack of equipment? At this point we are told the house phone was called and a message was left telling us this information. That's a tough sell, as the land line has been disconnected for about 5 months. After much back and forth we basically tell said receptionist that this is extremely poor business decisions and terrible customer service as we have all of our porch furniture sitting in the yard, and are planning on staining the decks tomorrow. Not my problem was the message from good ol Busy B. We asked to have the owner call us. We were told that he doesn't have signal. Maybe he'll call, maybe he won't. At this point we are at a loss. It looks like the B is too busy to come do the job they committed to. So we begin to look for other options. Suddenly, at 4:00 pm, a white pickup pulls into the driveway with no special equipment and somehow navigates the 'obstacle course' of the driveway blocking car. The owner himself gets out of the pickup. He made no apology. When asked why he didn't bother to call or knock to let us know he had made an attempt. He then tells us that he had both knees replaced a few months ago and didn't want to walk up the driveway. He also tells us that getting our house power washed is 'not a crisis', and that him living with cancer over the past two years is. What? No one called it a crisis, just really poor customer service and crappy attitudes when asked why no one had showed up or called. I'm very sorry for your medical conditions, but that's not my concern. If it's that bad, maybe you should have sent someone else. Finally the power washing begins. No real apology for the lack of communication or the decision not to show up. During the washing session, there were some texts back and forth to our oh so happy OM who said that a check would be needed at the end of the session. We said we would pay electronically just like the last time. 6:30 rolls around and we go outside to look at the job. First thing noted was that the walks and back patio were not done. An argument ensues that those have never been done and that was not on the work order. On the contrary we say, they were done last time and we specifically stated that we did not want the deck surfaces washed (which they did). On the previous you talked about how we needed to fill sand back in the walks after the session. After more arguing back and forth, out he goes to finish the job we hired him for. Bottom line is this. The entire experience from top to bottom was terrible. Communication was terrible, service was terrible, attitudes were terrible, integrity was terrible, and the job was marginal. It's unfortunate that this occurred. We would not recommend services from this company at all. Both the office staff as well as the owner were argumentative, and it appeared clear he did not want to do this job.

Stacy and Rosemary took the time to answer any questions we had and provided us with all the services available at beyond reasonable prices.

I needed a plumber. "Thumbtack", "Angies List": Why not look at Yelp? So I type, "Yelp/Charlottesville/Plumber". Result = "Best Plumbers in Charlottesville"! Laco is the first entry on that Yelp list. Which made me suspicious. Five Star Rating after thirteen reviews? That's too good to be true. But I plow into the reviews. They don't seem like they were posted by Laco employees pretending to be plumbing consumers with above averages experiences. They read as deft and genuine from an array of people. I added the contact info. of Laco and two other plumbers into my phone and resolve to make some calls. Laco was the first and only plumber to return my call (although I continue to receive messages from local plumbers via Tumbtack two weeks later). Tony, who if I've gleamed this correctly is an owner of the business and one of two guys you will talk to over the phone, the guy who will come out to the site and look things over for the benefit of you both and then give you an idea of how much this project will cost and how much of your life will be inconvenienced therein. He's a bit of a character, stout looking, a little harried as any good contractor would be having many irons in the fire and many things and people to keep track of. Polite and clear and let me emphasize that, articulate in what you need and what will happen. I did not once with Tony or any of his men get the impression that they wanted to do any more work than absolutely necessary. They acted as if they wanted to get in and out ASAP, do the job right and move on, pretty much the perfect scenario if you are in need of a plumber and money/finances are of some concern. Allow me to throw this one aside in real quick before I forget. The job came in under estimate and they did everything that Tony had said they'd end up doing if they didn't run into any other issues that needs addressing. The scene: My parents 50-60 year old brick rancher near downtown. Two 80+yrolds and their middle aged kid. One Middle aged plumber (Bobby) and the "Kid" who was the other man working the job and Tony. The three plumbers show up, Tony gives the guys a quick run-down of the issues and what he expects to be done, salutes us all and rides off to address some other issue somewhere else. For three to four hours these two men wind their way in and out of the house, through each entry, from the basement worksite to the attic to secure a drain vent and keeping it from sliding down through the home and killing someone below (heavy large copper pipes...). They brought a radio to listen to Christmas music, quietly while working. Upstairs the old folks milled about watching television, having lunch. It was a pleasant late morning that stretched until just afternoon. There was the pulling of toilets (2) there were reciprocating saws sawing, there was grunting and ladders and the smell of adhesives. In the end, they walked me through their work, cleaned up after themselves and left. Later in the afternoon, I got and invoice via e-mail then called and paid over the phone. Everything went swimmingly and didn't cost as much as I expected, didn't take as long as I thought and it didn't stress my family out. Really man, that ****ing awesome. Five stars.
