We witnessed a very large stone come off the back of the truck and strike the passenger side of our windshield. We immediately noticed a very deep ding in the windshield (there were no previous windshield defects), we took pictures of the plate on the vehicle as well as the company name on the side of the door. We contacted the NYS thruway police to file a report and then contacted the truck company directly. We spoke with Heather and described the problem to her, she did confirm that the truck was on the thruway heading the same direction as us and it was in fact carrying crushed stone and gravel. She told us that the company would rather pay out of pocket for the glass repair than go through insurance companies. We were then unable to get ahold of anyone in the company for three weeks, and during this time the ding turned into a crack spanning the length of the windshield. Finally, after three weeks of silence and ignored phone calls, we received a phone call from an attorney informing us that we would have to jump through hoops to even get them to review our statements and claim and even then it would be unlikely to get paid. The attorney also faulted our handling of the situation stating that we should practice erratic driving in order to get the truck driver's attention and attempt to hash it out on the side of the busy highway. Additionally, he told us that there were no trucks out on the road at that time (completely opposite of what the manager Heather had told us that night) so there is no way that our vehicle could have sustained damage from one of their vehicles. Now, we will have to pay a deductible on our insurance in order to get the windshield replaced. Without doing so, we cannot drive our car or have it pass an upcoming inspection. This sort of issue speaks volumes in regards to the values and accountability of this business, and should I be an actual customer I'd be concerned with their follow-through. I would like to forewarn customers who deal with this company of their business practices and their lack of responsibility in regards to things that they are fully responsible. It is their duty to properly secure the materials that they are transporting on public roads to ensure the safety of other drivers. This is a situation that could have been easily avoided , as well as easily resolved, and I do not wish for anyone in the future to have to deal with this type of problem.

When we reached out to Michael about this damage he told us he's check with his guys and get back to us. A week later I had to call him and he was argumentative and aggressive toward me for calling him out on the damage and his lack of response. To any potential customers reading this: You have options.

This place came recommended through a friend of the family who I know to be meticulous about home care. The service needed was driveway seal coating. However when they were done the driveway still had visible cracks in it, making it appear as if the work had not been done, which was an eyesore. I was told during their application that the following year if I wanted to seal coat again, to request that they first cover up the cracks with a different method , before doing the actual seal coating itself. Had I known this in advance I would have asked for exactly that and avoid the disappointment. I would have been glad to pay the additional expense but the two man crew said nothing until I asked. Not a good way to attract customers, keep customers or count on recommendations. Although they made a mess by splattering some of the gunk on my new vinyl siding they cleaned it up as best they could, avoiding walking on other areas that were already covered. They left me some liquid so that I could access the other spots later. I paid by check even though I could have saved a few bucks by paying cash up front. I was assured that a receipt would be sent to me via e mail. Actually it required several texts and additional phone calls before I got a response at all. The response was filled with apologies since they didn't know what to do about a non-cash paying customer!!! When I finally got the receipt, a month later, it was a generic receipt for the amount with a printed signature and NO letterhead to indicate the company name. I don't think there was any intent of malice in this experience and whoever I spoke to, seemed genuinely nice when I FINALLY got them to return my call. I would not recommend using them for seal coating but if you decide to do so, make sure you ask about cracks in the driveway being filled before the seal coating itself. I won't use the service again under any circumstances. The experience amounted to a waste of money from my perspective.

Because we were about 2 doors down from the worksite we were around a lot. I have to say everyone on the crew was a pleasure to be around. Because this level of project is new to us I think I was pretty anxious a lot of the time but Erich was always helpful and easy to get along with. I feel very lucky to have been able to hire them. The idea that the materials are being reused, the savings over straight demolition and the potential tax savings are really the icing on the cake to what was a great experience overall. Deconstruction Works also did some side work not originally contracted such as cleaning up the place. The work was done at a very fair rate and the project was finished ahead of schedule and on budget. This may sound weird but I will actually miss the Deconstruction Works crew. So fast, so professional, so good at what they do, and enjoyable to be around, oh yeah, and they saved us money too.

He gave me what I thought was a fair price to remove the tree, then also removed the stump, as well as an additional stump from a tree removed by the previous owner. He was professional, showed up as promised, and left my yard clean, with no sign there was ever a tree there. Fast forward 3 months and I had to call him again when a large Ash fell on the back of my house, destroying the deck and doing damage to my Sunroom and roof. I am very grateful for Sweet Tree for responding quickly and getting that tree off my house, cut up and hauled away for a fair price. He took photos for me to share with the adjuster, left everything very tidy, and also cut 4 stumps for me to sit on around my future fire pit, in addition to stacking up a manageable supply of wood to burn. Kevin made a somewhat stressful event much easier for me. I highly recommend Sweet Tree.
