This is my first time ever taking the time to write a negative review. There are multiple 1 star reviews essentially saying the same thing. The owner is very kind and friendly at first but once you give him the money and need say something like an inspection done, then he never picks up your calls or answers your texts. You have to go to your local town hall and have them contact him. We had a chimney liner installed late October of 2021. they charged us $4300 plus we had to pay $100 out of pocket for the permit that he was supposed to get before he started the job. They charged us $1,300+ more than the market value of the job and we thought we would get better service for paying more. We also talked him down from $5800 which he wanted initially. Another local company had quoted us $2,800 for the same job. They were in and out in half a day. They promised they would remove the debris but never did and left us with over 14 bags each weighing 50lbs+. There were sharp object from the old liner and I even cut my hand removing it myself. The liner they installed coming from the boiler to the chimney in our basement is bigger than the one we had before and it is poking out and I now have to duck under it to not burn my face. He also promised he was going to install an insulated liner around the pipe to prevent anyone from getting burned. Surprise, surprise....he never did. In conclusion, there are plenty other companies that do this work and I think it would be difficult to find a worse company. Do yourself a favor and get your work done elsewhere.

Whalen and Ives sent a team of professionals to my home that were simply amazing; each and every technician carried out his task perfectly. Not a minute of time was wasted.

Over a year ago we had our water tank burst in the middle of the night and at a recommendation of a friend we called Total Comfort. They were able to replace the best day. But, as a result I was duped into entering their preventative maintenance plan. This of course includes a yearly AC maintenance visit. It seems every time they come they find umpteen things wrong with the units and the cost for repairs are unsurprisingly astronomical. I went through this twice already with them. I immediately called a competitor following both visits and had them give a second opinion. Sure enough, I didn't need to do a vast majority of their "recommended" repairs. Never again with this company.

Ron, Rich, Doug and Denise are all top notch! I interviewed 22 roofers (yes 22!) and received…read moreestimates from each. Something was always off and I did not like companies that sent over commissioned salesmen who wanted to be my best friend and then they suddenly don't know me after I sign the contract and pay a deposit. Ron Carlson himself came to the house and the moment he walked up my driveway I had a gut feeling I found my roofing company. The search was over. Ron did not start with all the sales crap and throwing titles and certifications like GAF Master Elite blah blah blah at me that virtually means nothing. He was friendly, polite but no nonsense. He knows his stuff and could back up why I don't need gutter protectors, why I don't need 6 inch gutters, why I don't need useless "gold" warranties pushed by the roofing companies etc. Quotation was presented two days later, no extra 6.8% credit card charge levied, final bill was what I was quoted. Period. The Carlson team installed a new roof, gutters, soffits, leaders, two new attic fans, ridge vent skylights etc. Their team worked diligently, clean and started each day at 7:00 am and finished at 6 pm. Rich came by to make sure all was good and so did Doug (though I did not meet him). Top notch roofers. No gimmicks, no add ons, no big lawyer written contracts to sign and no hassles. Old school - agree to the job, do it and happily pay. A handshake means something with Carlson Brothers. They took 1/3 deposit upfront and did not take the other 2/3 until the job was done and they were gone. In fact, Denise called up two days later and asked if it's ok to go ahead and charge the balance on my credit card. I can't say enough good things about them all. As to price, extremely fair and they don't upsell you on anything. Ok. Enough said. I am pleased to select them out of 22 roofers I got estimates from and yes you need to do your due diligence because you'll find a lot of people tell you to do things you don't need to do. Great job guys. Thank you also to Denise and Doug for answering all my questions through the process.

I called the office and made an appointment and Mr. Carlson who showed up on time to provide us with a quote. The next day the workman arrived to perform the work. Everyone was professional and knew exactly what to do. Unfortunately there are many contractors out there that will try and do things that aren't really needed but this wasn't the case with Carlson Bros. This company and it's employees were great! Based on my experience I would definitely recommend them. Don't go looking through the Val pack coupons for a company that needs to do the advertising to get business, instead look for the good reviews of a local contractor. Thanks for everything.

On a Saturday evening, my back water valve which is tied to my fire suppression unit unexpectedly broke and my house started to flood. After I got someone to stop the water in my house after hours of it running, I quickly called several plumbing experts and Nic was one of only two who promptly answered the call. Within about three days he was in my house and resolved the serious fire suppression system dilemma which cost me thousands of dollars in damages. His co worker Luke also assisted him and was very helpful. Nic knew exactly what was going on with my fire suppression system since he told me he was a certified fire suppression expert which there are few of in bergen county. He worked very promptly and resolved this serious issue. Within one week two milder yet serious plumbing issues happened in my house and both Nic, Luke and another co worker resolved the issue. I can vouch for Nic and Luke. Nic is great since he has a lot of experience. Luke is effective but younger. So he is an all star in training but again helpful. David & Maryann, Ramsey N.J. region

I called Gladiator Services to see if I could get a technician to do a maintenance check on my central air A/C. It has been five years since any technician looked at it. While it is currently running (knock on wood), a guest recently remarked that the filter on my external fan unit looked dirty and that you're supposed to get annual maintenance on these units. When I called, I believed I connected to an answering service. I left my contact information and a description of the request. Unfortunately, there was no response for the next three days, so I decided to look elsewhere. These vendors need a better scheduling system or should simply tell me that they don't have any appointment openings at this time. Otherwise, this is just bad customer service not to return calls.
