BUT we know that what did not work now does work! Thank you, Booms Welding!!! - - - We ordered a pellet smoker and the first one that was delivered was clearly damaged, seemingly before it was put in the box at the factory; the manufacturer sent us a replacement, and since the first one was too big to send back, they let us keep it. The smoker is upright, similar to a dorm or hotel refrigerator (but bigger), and the damage made it out-of-square... it was tilted just a bit, and that bit was just enough to prevent the shelves from being supported on all four corners... if we were to use it and to put meat on it to cook, a sizable amount would have made the shelf tilt and fall. We had met Joel before, searching for help on another home project; Joel was very friendly and helpful; while the part we needed repaired couldn't be repaired (we ultimately found an unexpected replacement...), Joel was straightforward... he clearly understood our ask and shared why he wanted to help but just couldn't. That impressed us. So when we needed the smoker repaired, we called Joel. He came to visit and to determine what to do; Joel suspected that welding a couple metal pieces inside the smoker would provide the support that the shelves needed. We just needed to get the smoker to their shop and their welding equipment. We took the smoker to Booms and dropped it off. Within an hour they had it repaired... they were able to straighten the frame and to then make two welds to hold it in the straightened position. The repair was done so well and so professionally that, when they showed us the two welds, which they painted, in the bright outside sunshine, we could barely the repairs... the smoker, with the welds, looked like brand new. And thus we had a smoker to share with a friend. Thank you, Joel, Stephen and Brandon!! - - - - - -

I've been waiting on a few dominos to fall in order to start the permit process to install some…read moreracks in my warehouse, and one of the later dominos that needed to drop was getting some cross bars cut down to size. Due to some dates being pushed up, I needed those bars to be cut down sooner rather than later. I emailed info@booms and had a response within the hour. They asked me if I wanted to bring the bars in or have them pick-up; I chose to deliver them directly to Booms and the gentlemen I spoke with said he should have them done by the end of the day. He notified me later that afternoon that they were done. I just picked the bars up and they look amazing. Exactly what I needed, just as specified. I am very pleased with the work performed by Booms. If you are looking for a professional, local, reliable, and quality metal fabricator - I would highly suggest Booms. I've already mentioned to Booms that I will be in contact about some future projects.

I set up an appointment online through their website and got a few calls from them saying they had a question about my request. Called back several times but always got an answering machine. A couple of weeks after my request, got a call saying they were going to come this morning at 10. Never got any other confirmation or anything. Handy man called me Saturday morning and said his job was running late and that he would be about an hour late and would call 30 minutes before coming. I said that was fine and then waited and waited and never heard from him again. I called them again and got another answering machine and left a message. I also called the handyman's number and left him a voicemail. My appointment was originally at 10am and then pushed back to 11am and it is now 3:30pm and I haven't heard anything from them at all! I do not understand why they would set an appointment and then at least have the courtesy to at least notify me that they were not coming! Would not work with them again!!!

We are preparing to sell out home and I had a home inspection done prior to listing and the inspector took one look at the Sylvania electrical panel and flipped his lid. I was given Charlie McCarty's name from a construction contractor friend and called. He answered and scheduled to meet me at my home the next day. He not surveyed the electrical panel, but inspected each and every outlet in the house. He agreed with everything the home inspector stated in his assessment, and even added a few things that needed to be addressed before St Louis County sent someone for an Occupancy permit inspection. Charlie's computer died the night before his visit, but it did not stop him from meeting me at the agreed upon appointment time. He kept in touch with me as he got his system restored. He sent a crew to the house to handle all the work required after getting the necessary work permits. The proposal was fair (far less than I imagined) and the work was handled in swift fashion. there were a few minor things that got missed, but were corrected with just one phone call. I am not one to gush over people doing their job, but when a small business owner stands up to the job he bids, then stands behind the workmanship and takes full responsibility, I feel I need to let everyone know.

This is the same review posted on Google reviews…read more This will be the first of many reviews I submit for Pride Restoration/Jim Seubert/Armored Public Adjusters. One of the WORST decisions I've ever made was trusting this company, it's owners and subcontractors. When I say this was a nightmare, I'm not exaggerating. After a house fire, this project was riddled with absolute ineptitude on the part of management and the workers, shifting the blame constantly, delays that resulted in me being displaced from my home for over a year and a half. I'm still displaced and the stress and strain it's put on me and my family has been profound and unrelenting. Jim Seubert stayed on the job until the insurance money was in his hands and then left me high and dry. Delay after delay, not taking responsibility, blaming everyone including the City of Edwardsville for his ineptitude. It became necessary to involve counsel to even begin to straighten this mess out. The legal termination of Pride Restoration came to a head when one of their subcontractors became so aggressive with me, shouting and coming at me in my front yard, that a neighbor felt it necessary to call for police intervention. Thank God for the new contractors (who will receive glowing reviews soon) who had to go in, assess and repair almost everything that Pride Restoration touched, incur expenses of professional engineers simply to remedy the damages done by Pride Restoration. This ALL came at my cost, draining all savings/retirement money, since Pride Restoration received the insurance payout. Per their contract, subcontractors were to be paid by them for their work, which he hasn't done and subsequently, I'm now being sued. This nightmare hasn't ended yet as we continue to find out more each day. Please....if you have a fire or water damage, do not use this company. Do your homework. Especially if you are a single woman, it seems that we are the targeted prey for companies like this. Interestingly enough, because I've been vocal about my experience, multiple people have contacted me stating almost the exact thing happened to them. As this pattern emerges, I will continue to share these experiences so that the marginalized and vulnerable have all the information. After a horrendous event such as a fire/house explosion, where we lost everything, it is a vulnerable time where one doesn't make decisions well due to the trauma and shock. Jim Seubert presented himself as a public adjuster and the company as someone who would advocate on my behalf. Not only did that not happen but quite the opposite. This is exactly the time when a reputable and honorable company would walk you through this event with compassion instead of taking advantage of vulnerable people in vulnerable moments. I've lived here 30+ years. Many friends/acquaintances continue to ask why I'm not back in my house yet. When I share the story, they are horrified and incensed that this type of greedy behavior still goes on in our town. Many want the name of the company who treats people so poorly. I'm happy to provide them with that information.

I dropped off an Italian bicycle fork to get a plating quote. I was told someone would contact me…read morethe following day since the estimator had already left for the day. That was a month ago. Numerous calls, emails go unanswered. At this point, if I can't trust them to simply call me back, I don't trust them to do a good job on the plating. I don't like giving bad reviews, we all make mistakes (me: DAILY!!) but its how we respond to them that separates a good vs bad review. I went from excited about a project to annoyed it is at a stand still, based on their refusal to contact me. I still have no idea how much their services would run. It's a shame. I like supporting small and family owned businesses.

I just had to give a shout out to the BEST APPLIANCE REPAIR COMPANY IN ST. LOUIS. Gary Harris,…read morethe owner, along with his associate Michael Spinelli helped my husband and I out when we were at our wits end with another repair company that strung us along for a month, and ended up costing us a lot of money trying to repair our washing machine. (About $500 of Water damage to our basement ceiling after they told us that the machine had been fixed and we could use it!) All I can say, is that we were going to just give up and buy a new washer machine, and they came over on a Saturday afternoon and within 5 minutes, they realized what the problem was (2 coins clogging the drain?). What was so impressive, besides fixing the machine and have it run as if it was brand new, was that they waited for an entire cycle to run, until they knew everything was working properly, before they left! We are forever grateful to HBC MECHANICAL CONTRACTING. We will recommend you to everyone we know. As a small business owner, my husband and I know how important word of mouth and trust is to your customers. So, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU! You're going to have a customer for life!
