Separated joint.

I have a small kitchen set with four chairs. Over the years, the joints and supports loosened and the chairs needed to be re-glued. Also, two wooden corner supports fell off, so I brought them with me to be re-attached. Two of the chairs were also missing wooden plugs that cover the two screw holes in the back of the chairs. I could have done the job, but just didn't have the time. I found that Bill's also repairs chairs, and is a local business, so I let a professional do the job. We dropped off the four small chairs, and was told they would be ready in 6 days, which was a Friday. Called on Friday and was told they needed more time. I received a call the following Tuesday saying they were ready to be picked up. We headed back over to hopefully pick up sturdy and safe chairs, without feeling rickety. Boy we we're surprised!! Joints were still loose, some were still separated, the loose corner braces were never re-attached, the new wood plugs were never installed as requested, and one chair wobbles now. Screws were crudely driven in to the base of the seat supports. Only one chair was barely acceptable. The lady apologized, and took all four back to have them looked over again. Apparently, two teenagers repaired the chairs, and not an experienced furniture repair person. What a frustrating experience! We received a call the following day stating that they completed the work and went over all over the chairs. We got the chairs home to find one wobbles now, which means that the chair was not clamped evenly, and is now out of square. Another chair's rear supports have a large gap that wasn't there before. See attached photos. Keep in mind it cost $67 to "repair" EACH of these chairs by a so-called furniture repair specialist. I paid a total of $276 for a lousy job. Totally disappointed! I figured I give them a second chance to make things right, but they blew it. Now I'm stuck with shoddy work because I don't want to deal with more frustration, and be without the chairs again. Don't trust your furniture repairs with this company.

It was December 23rd, and I was VWI - Vacuuming While Intoxicated. In a deft series of moves…read moreworthy of the late Chris Farley, I somehow got the cord tangled around my ankle, stepped on it with my other foot, and fell through one of my living room windows. I felt lucky to be alive, but after I brushed myself off and made my way back in, I was starting to feel very cold. That's probably fairly common when you find yourself missing a large window pane two days before Christmas. I had previously had a few screens redone by Toms River Glass, and I had found them to be prompt and reasonably priced. Knowing no other glass company, that's who I called. A fellow came out on the morning after Christmas and took measurements, informing me that the glass would need to be ordered. I was worried about how long that would take, but he was back two days later, and my cardboard windbreak was gone. I thought that was pretty impressive. Maybe that's par for the course, but I don't have a lot of experience with glass companies, so I was more than satisfied. Toms River Glass didn't save Christmas, which was fine because everyone got to laugh at me repeatedly as the story was told and retold, but they did a great job, very promptly. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them or to use them if - knock wood - I should be so unlucky or stupid as to need them again.

We need a new front door and they came out right away and met a lower price quote. Installation and…read moreservice was curtious and highly professional.

Can't believe they have all good ratings as that is the reason that I choose to have work done by…read morethis contractor. WHAT A NIGHTMARE!! Not sure what parking lot they get their employees from but they did more damage than the simple job that I hired them to do. I should have posted this back in 2024 (it is currently 2026) when this issue occurred to help you Yelpers but didn't want to impact a legal recourse. The job I hired them to do was to take out a roof ridge vent and replace with regular roofing ridge shingles and install an attic fan, that was all. Did not need 7 employees hanging out on my roof. I had to yell up to them that taking the chimney apart was not included in this work so they bent the aluminum capping back half ass. They did not even replace the ridge vent shingles correctly or enough therefore left exposed nail holes from removing the ridge vent shingles. The photo (see my photos) of this job shows the light of the sky that you can see through one of the holes from the INSIDE of my attic. When complaint was presented to the owner I was told that the holes are too small to let rainwater in!! They also cut the ridge vent shingles right on my existing roof without a cutting board therefore slicing up the existing roofing shingles. The attic fan was the wrong one installed which was a cheaper version. Wouldn't you check the item to insure it was the correct model BEFORE installation?!? Proven contractors also conveniently gave me an additional estimate for $$$$ thousands more to fix the damage that THEY caused. Also owner of this company is very curt and dismissive when approached with the complaint. This company was a never-ending NIGHTMARE so if you hire them you better have knowledge and be the supervisor yourself.

Proven did a great job on the exterior of our house. They removed and replaced our roof which…read moreincludes glaze surfaces, they replaced four doors. Three sliding doors, and our front entrance way and screen door. They resided the entire house with James Hardie siding. Replaced all gutters and leaders. Replaced an outdoor spiral staircase and many other things. Although this was a big job, Proven's pricing was competitive. They gave a multi job discount. My biggest concern was that this is a summer home so we were not around a lot to supervise. I was pleasantly surprised that they showed up when they said they would, and kept to their timetable as closely as possible. As many know when contracting for home repairs that this is half the battle
