Their crew was prompt and professional and did a great job removing and reinstalling siding on the house without trampling the garden. They just finished yesterday, and the weather has been quite mild, so we haven't felt the effects of the insulation yet, but I have high hopes we'll see it on this winter's heating bill!

While Dane was wonderful in replacing our water heater's anode rod, it was quite bothersome that we…read morehad to pay $250 to have it replaced on a part covered under warranty. The water heater was installed 2 1/2 years ago by Rivival Heating and the anode rod needed to be replaced because "Portland water is so hard and full of minerals". The original quote for labor alone (not covered under warranty) was $340 but we got the manager to bring it down to $250. Still, the water heater is only 2 1/2 years old and that was an expense we did not anticipate when we bought the water heater. The prior one was not broken but when we had Rivival replace our furnace, they strongly suggested replacing the water heater at the same time. The old one never produced brown water but after just two years, the new one did. Maybe the water heater wasn't as good as the previous one? Not sure... Forgot to add, my home warranty service said they could not reimburse me because this is a "warranty issue". And to be truthful, the furnace job was great! Just wish the water heater repair didn't cost me anything. Next year, when it is out of warranty, I'll be able to file for reimbursement from my home warranty provider.

While I have enjoyed working with Revival employees, my recent experience with their owners, in…read moreconnection with a full HVAC replacement on a rental property, fell far short of expectations. The owners of this business have been dismissive, defensive, non-responsive, and not particularly service oriented. Really an unfortunate experience given the amount of money spent on this transaction. Specifically, Revival failed to deliver warranty documents that were required to be provided to me upon the completion of work, as specifically noted in the statement of work. Even though warranty documents were not provided, Revival's owners demanded immediate payment in full. Revival also failed to advise ahead of time about County inspections that needed to be completed after installation. This easily could have been communicated to me up-front but was not, and led to a lot of last-minute scrambling with my tenants when inspectors showed up without notice, or notified us of follow-up visits. Note to Revival owners: Going forward, please treat your paying customers with more respect, anticipate their needs, and don't send long-winded defensive treatises when customers reasonably object to the way they're being treated. These are fairly easy-to-implement service changes and would really improve your service model.

This is a relatively new company embarking on the recent requirement for homes in the Portland…read moreMetro to provide an energy efficiency score when selling a home. If you want to buy or sell a home you now need to show an energy score for the house. This is the company that does the assessment. This is a PROFESSIONAL team that should quickly gain top status among Portlanders looking to access this service. They show up on time. Explain everything to you. There is no rush and they make sure to do a full, proper assessment. The report they provide was e-mailed to me in a very timely manner and it was super easy to understand. They provide options for improving the score and for the fact that I got a score of 1, told me that many homes get that score. It made me feel a little better. :) I would recommend this company if you are looking to sell and need to get an energy score for your home. They know what they are doing!! You won't be disappointed!

My wife and I are first-time home buyers-- an objectively stressful experience. We found what…read moreamounts to our dream home, got our offer accepted, and our realtor recommended Tabor NW (specifically Zach) to perform the inspection on the home. We weren't too worried as, through the showings, the home seemed to be very well maintained. Zach stopped by the home to perform the inspection and confirmed that the home was in great condition, but as with all homes, there were maintenance, repair, and installation recommendations. Going through the home buying process, we had more than our fair share of questions and clarifications, but Zach blew us away. The evening following the inspections, Zach sent us a thorough and detailed narrative of his findings. We expected to read over it, have no clue what half of it meant, and then have to have the inspector and our realtor disseminate all of it. We were ab-so-lutely wrong. Zach not only gave us recommendations on what we should have repaired, maintained, or installed, but he laid out where any issues were individually located (with photos and diagrams), whether or not repairs and maintenance should be done personally or by a professional, and best of all, it was all presented in simple, easy to understand terminology. We had no questions, no stresses, and full peace-of-mind following Zach's inspection. It is entirely clear why Tabor NW was recommended to perform our home inspection. Thank you, Zach!

When we replaced the siding, the foam insulation came off with it. We installed fiberglass between the studs and a foam layer over the entire home. We went from an R value of less than 4 to 21. ETO denied our rebate because we "went to the studs" instead of just adding more on top of foam. How can you add on top of the foam, when it is sprayed onto the siding that we replaced? No where in the website does it state this caveat. I feel that every step of the way, ETO tried to find a reason to reject our application. We had to submit several versions of our application and when they would send us an application, it was on older outdated version that offered less pay back. It appears to be company that tries to appeal to the notion of doing good, but does everything to deny pay outs. Don't think I will trust this business again.
