As a fellow local business owner (Foundation Homes of CNY), I've thought long and hard before…read moreposting this review. I'm sharing it to warn other homeowners and industry professionals. I had a long-standing relationship with Amber Wells / Amber Water Pros that was, for years, very positive and professional. We worked together on numerous projects over multiple years totaling hundreds of thousands of dollars. They also installed a $40,000+ well/water treatment system at my personal residence. Until this dispute, I had no issues with Amber personally or professionally. What happened (documented): On or about September 12, 2023, during excavation for a water line, Amber's excavator struck and severely damaged an underground electrical service wire, causing loss of power and significant disruption. After investigation, it was determined the damaged line could not be practically repaired and a new line needed to be installed. Licensed trades (electrician + sitework for excavation/re-trenching/backfilling) completed the repair/replacement work for approximately $3,900. Throughout the repair process, Amber and I stayed in communication and it appeared we were aligned on the resolution. After receiving the final invoices, Foundation sent Amber a formal letter on November 7, 2023, documenting the costs and stating they would be deducted from Amber's outstanding invoice. Amber received and cashed the check, then requested additional documentation to submit to their insurance carrier, so we reasonably believed the matter was settled. Months later, Amber's insurance carrier (Selective) contacted me about a claim related to the same damages, which I understand was ultimately denied. After that denial, Amber filed a summons and complaint seeking $3,900, as if the prior offset/payment had not occurred. Amber also filed a lien against my personal residence (which was improper and later removed by Amber's counsel). I then had to engage counsel and attempted to resolve the matter amicably, but those efforts were unsuccessful. The dispute went to arbitration, and Amber was ultimately awarded the original balance. My understanding is that Amber prevailed largely because their contract controlled and my November 7, 2023 letter did not contain the legally required "accord and satisfaction" language. Bottom line: While $3,900 is significant, I don't understand the actions taken here--especially given the earlier acceptance of the offset (cashing the check and requesting documentation for an insurance claim) and the subsequent escalation after the insurance denial. In my view, it was not handled reasonably and it was not worth destroying a long-standing relationship. Takeaway: Document everything, confirm responsibility for damage in writing, keep invoices/photos/communications, and be crystal clear about dispute resolution terms before work begins.

Our well pump failed in the midst of the "cold snap" of 2026. We had been advised during an earlier…read moreappointment that we should not prematurely change the pump. When it failed, they would respond right away. Today, a few minutes after detecting the failure, we called Shutes. Within an hour the technicians were on their way, and the replacement was completed in a few hours. They were polite, loved our dog, and prepared a legible, clear invoice. We highly recommend them. Very pleased.
