We purchased our lakefront home a little over a year ago and the agent was Thom Gregsak from Big…read moreIsland Real Estate. Our dealings with Thom Gregsak, owner/agent, was most satisfying. Thom fully explained all documents, went over all figures with us and was professional throughout this purchase. Since our purchase we have had two different friends use him as a buyers agent, with great success, and another friend used him as their selling agent. We have all found Thom to be responsive to all our questions. I cannot say enough good things about this agency. I highly recommend Thom as either a buyers or sellers agent. His knowledge of lakefront property is unmatched! We have purchased many second homes over the years and Thom made this transaction a truly enjoyable experience.

We enthusiastically recommend Pet Stop ! It has been a life saver during this frigid winter, we had…read moreit installed for our first puppy, then had the awesome trainers come back out when we brought home a new puppy. Our installer Muhare is unbelievable, he knows the fence and product inside and out and is amazing with dogs ( and their nervous owners ). Our first puppy is a very timid rescue, Avalon from the office was kind enough to join Muhare at our first training with her puppy, it was an enormous help. We live on a busy street and have opted to only have our dogs out back, it has been amazing to see them run and zoomie and enjoy the snow together ! Pet Stop has made our lives a ton easier, and our dogs lives so much happier. It is one of the best investments we have ever made.

I have had St Cyr's close and winterize my pool the last few years. I open my pool myself, but I…read morepay to close it to ensure that it is properly winterized by professionals. I took the cover off my pool this weekend and was shocked to see one of my jets was left unplugged by St Cyr's. I was unable to get ahold of anyone at St Cyr's until yesterday (Monday). I asked to have someone come out immediately to inspect the pool and assess if any damage was done to the plumbing from their mistake. I was told I could book a service visit (that I would pay for). I expected a call back from a manager yesterday that never came. This is an unbelievable mistake for a pool company to make and could permanently damage my pool. I will not hire them again and I would recommend you don't either. After posting a review on google about this the owner replied and I received a call from a service manager. We talked through things to look out for and fortunately I think I avoided serious damage. They then asked me if I could do anything about the review I left. When I told them I wanted a refund for the pool closing that they screwed up they stopped calling. Go anywhere else for your pool service.

For about 5 years I've wanted to get my land surveyed. Finally decided to get it done. I contacted…read morea few local survey companies and one I've used previously. Two got back to me and the others didn't. I chose Promised Land Survey and am extremely glad I did. From the start of the whole process was a detailed quote and information on how the survey would be done, the timeframe and a cost breakdown. The cost was extremely competitive and well worth it! Before they came out, I was notified and they arrived exactly when they said they would. I went to talk to the crew (even during the pandemic) and they were nothing but professional. I'm a bit of a geek so I was asking a bunch of questions how this works and they spent the time to give me an education on the buried re-bar, how they coordinate the technical aspects of the survey with their home office. It was honestly fascinating and I appreciated the time they spent with me. As far as the work went, they did a fantastic job, the put the stake line where I asked them to, gave me a tour of where my property corners were and asked if I had any more questions. I would hire this company in a heartbeat again, from the beginning to end nothing but a fantastic and pleasant experience. Thanks for a job well done! -Steve

If you were searching for a trustworthy, high-quality, fair-priced, and reliable contractor for…read moreyour remodeling and replacement needs, then you found 'em. Big Island Pond Remodeling & Replacement Specialists started with us by way of coming to our rescue one day, but ended up putting together show room quality work that was, and still is, the envy of our neighbors. You can stop reading right there if you like, but feel free to take a look at our journey... I first met Fred Pappalardo where he was volunteering his time and expertise with a local youth organization. I have to say, I liked him immediately, but I wasn't quite ready to take on any large projects at my Derry home. Well, winter would have something to say about that, because before I could get a handle on them, much of my home was overtaken with ice dams. Not knowing quite who to call, I called Fred for advice at first. Without hesitation Fred and his crew were at my house mitigating what had become some record-breaking ice dams. In my case the damage was extensive, but I really felt like I had a trustworthy friend in my corner to guide us through the process from insurance adjuster to full recovery. Some of the damage from the ice dams meant a bit of remodeling in our master bathroom was inevitable. Noting this was the case, my wife and I opted to move forward with a full master bath remodel we had been putting off. Fred, his wife Michelle, and the crew at Big Island Pond Remodeling approached the work with the same sense of urgency and balanced care I witnessed the first time they were at my house. For me, the real test of character in evaluating a contractor is the way they treat your home. Do they track mud in?, Do they bang walls?, Do they clean up after themselves?, Can you find where they took short cuts? BIP simply does it right, all the time. Today our bathroom could easily make the cover of any home improvement magazine and take top prize were it a contest of craftsmanship. If you are looking for a remodel, call Fred at Big Island Pond and tell him you want to see pictures of the remodeled bathroom from the house that had the disastrous ice dams, you'll be glad you did.
