Richard pointed everything out, sent us an affordable quote and we went with it. I cannot say enough kind words about Richard. He is what a real handyman should be not trying to swindle you like most other repair people would do. We were so impressed with his work that my sister and my brother-in-law, (who is extremely picky when it comes to hiring repair men) have hired him for their own repairs.

Needless to say, I fired them on the spot. But what to do? Bond Septic to the rescue. I called Larry and he told me I could be Number 2 (pun intended) this morning.

Luckily the over was only 6" below the surface and in no time Larry had it opened. Not a pretty picture since we hadn't had it cleaned in over fifteen years! Surprisingly didn't smell bad and Larry said that "it smells like money!" Haha! I cannot speak more highly of Larry Bond and Bond Septic Services!

Poor quality, no insulation, horrible customer service, and the plumbing sounds as if it's going to explode every time you flush a toilet?! There are cracks in the poured concrete on the front porch, back patio and garage; some of them quite large. The lock on the front steel door has broken for the second time now--this time locking us outside late at night?! The kitchen appliances are super cheap --handle broke off the oven door and fridge drawer handles broke-- and there was no real thought given to the design. Specifically, there is no linen closet in a four-bed home and the kitchen pantry is a small closet with 4 shelves--not even a walk-in?! We keep losing shingles off the roof and the caulk is pretty-much now non-existent around all the toilets and sinks. I've lived in 60+ year old homes that were better built. I would NEVER buy another Elliott Home and I certainly won't be recommending them to ANYONE. Buyers beware!!
