Up until last year, my tax season would go something like this: do nothing until April 10th, then…read morescramble to find all of my paperwork, find a cheap online program, and cross my fingers that I did everything right. But then last year I started a business and with the new tax law, I knew I had to start working with a business tax expert. In our first meeting together, Pamela walked me through my business structure options ... and even referred me to a local business attorney to file all the appropriate paperwork. Then when tax season came she made the process as easy as possible. She mailed me a file folder to hold all my documents as they came in the mail. I simply mailed that and her straightforward questionnaire back, and she and her team did the rest. The process was seamless and transparent from beginning to end. If you're a North Shore business in need of an accountant or want a second opinion on your current situation, I highly recommend you schedule a time to talk with Pamela Boardway.

Knowledgeable, honest and responsive beyond reason, we felt like VIP customers from the first and the service hasn't wavered. (Our first experience with Portside was when we wrapped props around an unmarked mooring on our way in to Portside Marine - Peter not only "rescued" us but they reconditioned the prop in record time despite heading into the 4th of July weekend - KUDOS well beyond expectation.) Our dock neighbors at our marina all raved about Portside Marine despite that the marina offers similar services.

I thought the value for the deep cleaning was time efficient and they did alright work. Sometimes you just need a clean slate, and they definitely got things into a good state. Edit: Actually - I had someone do a deep clean one time before, like several years ago. That's beside the point. That's where the praise stops, though. Unfortunately, the toilette was clogged after the cleaning. After the second cleaning, the bathroom in my other toilette was clogged. I felt kind of rude asking about the first so I decided to refrain asking about the second. We use a bidet and no one is stuffing loads of toilette paper down the drain. Plus, during the first incident no one had used the toilette in that bathroom. I am nearly positive they put paper or chemicals in the toilette. The follow up cleaning jobs were really just supposed to be maintenance (floor mopping, wiping down bathroom surfaces). Both instances my entire house was reorganized more or less. All of my recycling and compost were dumped in the garbage. It is absolute chaos. I lost of prescription medication planner for a week (it was sitting in plain site and later found wedged behind a coffee maker). Both times dirty gloves and rags were draped over clean knifes in my kitchen. Both times I've had to thoroughly wash the knifes and knife block. The dishwasher was filled with additional dishes (packed over the full capacity) and just left in place. No idea what was actually clean. The sink itself was emptied of dishes queued to be washed, but not actually cleaned? It made no sense. I figured they would be moving things out of the way if you need to wipe down a surface, or pushing things to the side. However it went further than that. I still can't find my most frequently used cutting board. I am sure it will appear in some random cupboard. I am fully capable of cleaning my own home, and to a higher standard of quality. The entire point is that I'm only one person with limited time to do so. I suppose I'll just need to make that time more of a priority. Of course things are cleaner, but over 2.5 or so hours with two people I just expected things to be more thorough. Not a huge deal at fave value but this is all sort of compounding to be frank. In short, weird as hell experience, confused by the results. Don't recommend.

I was looking for a local cleaner available to give the completely empty, broom-cleaned new condo…read morepurchase a surface clean before my moving van of furniture and possessions arrived next week. I contacted Marissa of Blue Rose because of her proximity and the description of her services on Yelp. To my amazement she was available the next day. I asked what her rate is after describing the job and she said she could give me a ball park estimate of $120-$200 because she needed to see it. Fair enough. We arranged for her to arrive at 10 am next morning. I was staying a 45 minute drive away and when I checked Waze , I realized I'd be about 10 minutes late, so I called her. It was clear she was either not really awake yet or was hung over. She had no recollection of our appointment. Alarmed, I asked if she could still make it a bit later and she said yes so we agreed on 10:30. As I was driving there, she called, still sounding groggy and said she'd need a little more time, so we agreed on 11:00 am. I got there at 10:30 and at 10:58 she called, mumbling something about " I can't find my equipment." Seriously? Nope! I told her to forget it as I only have time in my life to work with reliable people.Very frustrating experience and complete waste of my morning in a stressful week of moving. Most definitely do not recommend.

We won and saw our judgments vacated 3 or 4 times over the years, due, in part, to legal wrangling by the defendant's succession of law firms. Unfortunately for us, the plaintiff transferred assets and filed for personal and business bankruptcy protection multiple times, causing our lien to be unenforceable and necessitating more legal actions and expenses on our part to have the judgment transferred to the new (successor) businesses the plaintiff opened. The reason I mention this is to demonstrate the integrity and compassion this law firm has for its clients was truly proven on these occasions. I believe that most firms would have dropped our case when the expenses ran so high that we that we exhausted our considerable home equity and credit lines. This would have meant that we would never had our case heard by a jury and would always have wondered, what if?
