He then mentioned that he also did decks using composite and asked if I wanted a quote. I said sure and he told me I would receive within a week. After 10 days I sent him a text and asked if he was still interested in providing a quote. No response. My feeling is that if he can't even respond to that he probably wouldn't respond to any issues during or after dping the deck. Wouldn't recommend.

In order to get an ADA compliant walk-in shower installed in a very old home, we went through two…read more"contracting teams," that were sent to us through the state. Both experiences were nightmares, and the job that each did was substandard and took an ungodly length of time. Finally, Gary Johnson came and took a look what we were dealing with. We are so grateful that he not only cleaned up the mess that was left by the other contractors, but he got the job done promptly, safely, and done right! Thank you, Gary on behalf of my father and my brother who desperately needed a safe ADA compliant bathroom!

I had a fairly serious electrical problem that required the replacement of the disconnect at the electric meter. Price looked high to me at first, but in researching the issue, the $2,575 was on the lower side for such work. Still, I decided to get a few more quotes. What a mistake. Of the 12 electricians I contacted only 6 returned my call. Four didn't show up, one told me my entire system was shot and needed to be replaced, and one just played games. I contacted Jay on May 19. He fit me in his busy scheduled for May 20 and 21. It was about an 8 hour job over two days. The work is professional. My disconnect was an old "fuse type" that was badly rusted and a fire hazard. Some wires were hanging unnoticed and could have been an electrocution hazard. Jay handled the project with professionalism, knowledge, and found the right electrician to handle the job. I don't mind paying what is a fair price for an excellent job.

I received estimates for as much as $13,000 being told I also needed a new return and air conditioner. V and L is a family owned business. When they came out they suggested the best way to go was a new furnace and humidifier but that nothing else was needed. They arrived early for both appointments. They took the time to explain my options and choices - not trying to up-sell. They were able to do the installation first thing the next morning rather than me having to wait until I could "get an appointment". By noon the next day I had a new, safe furnace and a working humidifier. They explained everythIng thoroughly and answered all of my questions. They even told me the most economical filters to use! They cleaned up everything and took the old furnace and humidifier away so I did not have to keep it in my garage and lug it to the curb on trash day. When I do need a new air conditioner I will call them and no one else. I highly recommend V and L Heating/Cooling.

This company completed extensive work at our home, and during the project, my husband had concerns…read moreabout billing and documentation. Certain charges shown on their iPad did not match the work that was actually done, and when we asked for clarification, we did not receive an honest response. We found that invoices were altered after the fact, with hidden or unexplained charges added. Moreover, after agreeing to work, we realized that the owner and staff did not obtain the required permits for some of the work, and the company acted like that is not an issue. The company has had good reviews, which we used to select them, but we now know that they are starting to go bad and are finding ways to take advantage of hardworking people. They talked about reviews all of the time, and we now know that they push people to write good reviews. Look more closely and beware because they will seduce you with smiles and tons of details on invoices. Make sure that they follow the rules, check everything, and verify that all required permits are properly filed before work begins. Be careful of the salespeople that they use to push you to take your money and break the law. This is not acceptable in our small town or even in our country.
