York cut corners with their work, and I would have never known except when I asked BGE to have an…read moreindependent auditor inspect their work since my house still felt cold and drafty. Found they didn't properly seal any of my 6 recessed lights exposed in the attic, and my bath fans weren't vented to proper standards. They used 4 inch non-insulated ducts instead of 6 inch insulated. The bath fan was only venting 29 cfm instead of the 100+ cfm it is rated. They have been non-responsive now to address my concerns. To have it corrected, I used Atlas Home Energy and their quality workmanship far exceed that of York's.

When they showed up they said that we can't t do the insulation and made up some BS reason. They wanted the drywall work and fed me the insulation BS so they could do a bait and switch.

I know it's like a joke getting contactors in but it's not terribly funny when it happens to you. The quality of the work was 5 stars. no ifs ands or buts. hole fixed, ceiling painted no fuss no muss no mess. It looks great. The office paperwork side was less so. it was a 2 maybe a 3. It was hard to get an estimate, e-mails sent were apparently missed, the office staff was disorganized- and I'm being polite. it was disorganized to the point I felt like they didn't want my business. and setting a date for the work was only marginally less stressful than Noah booking seats on the ark. When the workmen showed up, they had no work order, I got no receipt or anything at all, and they barely spoke English leading to a few misunderstandings. So the work was absolutely first rate but my God, it was a challenge getting it going.

Beware! Hard sell tactic by luring people into filling out a $15,000 Sweepstakes Contest for an…read moreunsolicited home project. You're approached by a Rep. at large brick store such as Sam's Club, Walmart, who permit them to solicit at their location. There was no disclosure that you'd be contacted later to schedule an in-home consultation; only contacted should you win the contest. Needless to say, you're contacted by a call center Rep who proceeds to strong arm you to immediately schedule a home visit for an estimate. When told no, not now; the Rep resorted to bullying tactics and became argumentative, disrespectful and insulting. I informed them to take me off the list and terminated the conversation. Clearly, the Sweepstakes contest is simply a lure to get you hooked into contracting for a project before you're really ready to do so. And, now after reading the numerous negative reviews of other customers, I wouldn't contract with this firm even if I did win the $15K Sweepstakes. So, if ever approached by Appleby systems at a reputable storefront, just keep moving.

He took the time needed to explain what needed to be done, why, and what impact it may have. He brought the house up to current code.
