My wife & I hired a local engineering firm to design a replacement septic system. The engineer who designed it gave several conflicting answers to our questions and side-stepped some all-together. We decided we had better get a second set of eyes on the plans. We asked a good friend if he knew anyone and he immediately recommended Kevin O'Leary of Jillson Company. He said that Kevin and the Jillson Company had designed his septic and that Kevin was very straightforward and answered all their questions. The funny thing is, our friend had his septic done in 2000!
We emailed Kevin and he got back to us within a few hours. He told us his time was very limited because it was the busy season, but said that he would be willing to look at the plans. The next day a phone call was set up and Kevin went over the plans with us in detail, answering all of our questions & also pointing out things we should know but hadn't asked. He was very knowledgeable and pleasant. We did not feel rushed at all. It took about 30-45 minutes.
Like most people who hire a contractor we always have questions about costs, trade-offs,... And obviously we know very little about the subject matter. We expect that any contractor we hire will understand what the usual concerns of a home owner are, and be able and willing to address them. It's not rocket science.
We highly recommend Kevin & his team. read more
