I cannot thank Fire Dawgs Bloomington enough for accommodating a last minute estate clean out. Not…read moreonly were they available to schedule 1 to 2 days after sending in our imagery for estimates, they accommodated our needs when closing the next day on the property needing to be cleaned out. They were caring and compassionate and worked incredibly hard to help us. Again, thank you to the crew for the assist! Will definitely use and recommend again as needed.

I have to give 3 stars out of 5 for my experience with Fire Dawgs, however if I could give 10 out…read moreof 10 stars for the actual gentlemen who came to the job, I would. They were very polite, friendly, hardworking and apologetic. Now my reasoning for the 3 stars. I scheduled my pick up online the week before for a Thursday pickup. I had a follow up phone call from a AI representative, which was a very frustrating experience. Also, I had a follow up text from Alex, who said he was the president. He confirmed the appointment and asked me to send photos of what needed to be picked up, so they knew how to plan for my pickup. I sent at least 15 photos of several pieces of large furniture and other items. This was for a clean out of my father's house. I had cleaners coming the following day and need everything out for them. I also had our realtor coming on the following Monday to take photos, I also would be returning to my home in Columbus, Ohio (my father's house is in Indiana). Fast forward to the day of my appointment. My scheduled window time was 1:30 - 4:30 p.m. I received a phone call around 3:00 p.m. from the actual hauler saying they were at least 2 hours behind and that I would get another call when they were on their way. They finally made it to my house around 6:30 p.m. I showed them everything it the house that needed to be taken and they told me they wouldn't be able to take it all that day. They were never shown the pictures I sent and they were overbooked on jobs to complete in one day. The dump was already closed and they were only able to take what they had room for in their truck, which they came already at least 1/2 full. They called for another driver to come and he had a little bit of space in his truck, but it was already mostly full. Initially they said they could come back first thing in the morning, but after talking with their manager, they said they wouldn't be able to come back until Monday morning. Well, I had cleaners coming at 9:00 a.m. the day after the appointment that I could not reschedule, so that meant I had to clean up after that. Also, I had to reschedule my realtor for Wednesday instead of Monday. Soooo, Monday was scheduled for the 10:30-1:30 p.m. time slot. Fast forward to Monday, the crew did not show up until around 4:30 p.m. The truck was already partially filled with someone else items. They couldn't load and dump and return because, again, the dump is only open until 5:00 p.m. So they loaded up as much as they could in the truck, took it to their warehouse and returned for a second load. They still couldn't get everything on the second load, so they had to come the next day for a third time. They showed up on time that day and finally took everything. Shout out to Isaiah who did what he could. I ended up missing 2 more days of work for this and spent a fortune on it. *** If you are the owner or manager of Fire Dawgs please reevaluate how you are scheduling your employees for pick ups. It is very disrespectful to the client's time and also very hard on the employees as they are very overbooked and overworked.***

I did not become aware as to why this was happening until I had two excavating/grading companies come out to my house. I called Bob Taylor and was being fair and polite when we spoke. He came out to look at it with his grandson with him. We spoke and came to an agreement. I told him I'd talk to my boyfriend and call him back Monday to let him know to go ahead with the sidewalk removal or not. After this agreement and amicable conversation, he was walking back to his truck and stopped. Without turning around to look at me he starts losing his temper raising his voice telling me I should have told him right away it was done wrong, that they just did the job they were told to do and that I was being unfair to him. He was very gruff and kept talking and walking away without looking at me still telling me you're going to get someone else to do this I ain't doing this for you ! All this out of the blue. Very odd ! I was confused at the turn of events and explained to him again that I had no idea the sidewalk was done improperly until now and that it's causing serious drainage issues in my basement, how could I have told his guys how to do the job right as I'm not in construction and that's why I hired a contractor in order for it to be done right. Lol He said I should have told his guys how to do the job and they were just doing what they were told - ummm, say what Bob Taylor ? A person hires a contractor to do a job correctly. I didn't realize as the paying homeowner I was to be jobsite manager and quality control as well Lol ! I sure as heck know I didn't hire someone telling them to do it incorrectly as your guys did that day. What a joke. I highly DO NOT recommend this company

Bob Taylor was very polite and easy to work with. Seems like a very nice, humble person…read more Unfortunately my driveway turned out really really bad. Two different paving companies that looked at it said I should take him to court and there wasn't anything they could do until it had aged and they could grind the top off and start over. Really frustrating that it's going to cost a lot to fix it and I'm going to have to live with it until they can. The area where it's 12' wide is ok, but where my drive is really wide and it took a few passes with the paver is terrible- deep dips where they come together. I don't know if they screwed up when grading it or the paver had a crown in it (as one paving co thought might have been the case) or what, but they should never have thought this was good enough.
