I love the combo but i can't tell if my door is shut from the street or I'm just seeing the hall,lol. Anyway I explain that to Arlen and say maybe a coral? She says oooh I love the black/sage scheme too. Do you have any of the green left? Why not try using it as an accent around the windows/lights on the door?I bought some tape and some small brushes and it looks awesome! And I can tell the door is closed That folks is why you use a store like this rather than a big box store. She listened and came up with a creative and cheaper fix. I always use Herrington's because their employees are the best!!!!

It will now cost me more money to have the doors installed and painted. Because of course they don't provide installation. I've renovated houses before in several different parts of the country and this place is not the place to go for materials.

As the architect on a cabin renovation (converting it into a home gym and office), I had the chance…read moreto work closely with Rob Spanburgh from start to finish, and I can't recommend him highly enough. Rob was a perfect fit for the project being a solo-craftsman where he had ultimate control of quality; no subs to chase around and no need communicate the scope and details through multiple parties. Rob being a solo contractor was certainly not limiting either; the project had a mix of structural floor framing, new and replacement windows, exterior door and trim modifications, and many interior finish details to execute. I can't emphasize craftsman enough. He knows how to achieve high quality results with his process. He has solutions and tricks-of-the-trade for any issues and 'head scratchers' we had along the way. On top of this he is a pleasure to work with and made the project seem easy! Thank you Rob!

He is knowledgable, detail oriented, communicative, and very pleasant to work with. He followed the architect plans to perfection and offered helpful suggestions along the way.

After 25 years, multiple national water treatment companies and literally thousands of dollars…read moreaddressing our well water problems, we called Claverack pump. They were professional and very knowledgeable during the initial visit to evaluate our problems and existing various tanks, pumps, softeners, etc. I also called a competitor as good practice for comparison quote. Claverack followed up with a quote that was not only less expensive but also much more complete with product data, water analysis and pricing with the scope of work to be provided. I immediately signed up and took the day off to be at the house when they arrived. Bob and Adam were great to work with as they removed all old equipment (5 tanks, chlorinator and softener) and replaced with 1 air injection unit to remove the sulphur. We learned from their water analysis that the other units were not required for our water although being sold those products previously - requiring chlorine and salt on a regular basis. Removing all the old equipment regaining valuable space in our boiler room and eliminated the need to lug bags of salt and chlorine buckets - not to mention saving this ongoing cost. After putting the units into service, the guys walked us through the program and explained with the air system we have little or no maintenance. I noted that I would call them for a yearly inspection although we were shown the unit will notify us of that when due, Our water is finally what is should have been all along - no sulphur, spurting faucets, and constant need for chemicals and salt. We could not be happier with the transformation - our only regret is that we didn't "shop locally" sooner. If you have similar well water problems, or any related issues, we HIGHLY recommend Claverack Pump for your treatment. Thank you to all that helped us clean up our well water.

The company responded promptly when we experienced an emergency with our well, and I appreciated…read moretheir immediate assistance. Unfortunately, what followed was deeply disappointing. We were invoiced for work that was never performed and parts that were never installed. When I challenged these charges, customer service repeatedly refused to acknowledge the discrepancies. Only after I provided photographic evidence contradicting their claims did they reduce the invoice. What I found most troubling was not the original billing error, which could have been an honest mistake, but the company's persistent refusal to acknowledge it. Despite multiple emails over several months, they never accepted responsibility or offered a straightforward explanation or apology. **Mistakes happen. Integrity is demonstrated by how a company responds when those mistakes are brought to its attention.** In this case, the response demonstrated a disturbing lack of accountability and transparency. Based on my experience, I consider their business practices unethical. I would not trust this company with future work, nor would I recommend them to anyone.

Addendum to my previous review of JRC Remodeling and the response to my initial comments by…read moreco-owner Barbara Roth. It is true that the water damage and mold remediation was not a part of the original contract; after all it could only be discovered during the demo phase of the work. When advised of the problem I agreed to pay - and did pay - an additional amount to remove and replace the moldy insulation and take other steps to kill the mold (i.e., bleach spray). The workers apparently did the remediation but forgot to put new insulation before closing up the wall and installing new counters, making the only way to fill the now hollow wall from the exterior which is a more complicated and expensive procedure. Joe Roth agreed to do this work - which was necessary only because of JRC's screw up - but despite repeated promises kept putting it off month after month for many months and well into cold weather. He finally told me that he wasn't going to do it after all and would not take my phone calls because, in his words, he thought I would yell at him. I suspect that he realized that his workers screw up was going to be costly to fix and that he wasn't about to bear the cost. He never asked me to pay for the remediation, which existed solely due to their mistake. I did bring in another contractor in December 2023 and had to bear a substantial cost for adding insulation. Mistakes happen but failure to take responsibility is a reason for avoiding using this firm.
