I contacted Morrill and Forbes, a brand authorized service provider, to replace a broken remote…read morecontrol on a gas fireplace. After leaving several messages the call back finally came a couple weeks later. I was told they could not give me an estimate of the repair until they came out and did a $175.00 service call which took a month to schedule. In the mean time their sales representative tried to convince me that the unit should be replaced as it was "old" - they had not even seen the unit yet. Once the service call occurred, the "technician" confirmed what I already knew, the remote control system needed to be replaced. It took them over 3 weeks to get back to me with a proposal for repair which did not fully address the requested work requested. I ultimately reached out to the manufacturer who recommended an alternate service provider in the area. This service provider was able to address all the issues within a week and provide the service in a reasonable time frame (no extra service call required). It appears that Morrill & Forbes is more interested in cleaning chimneys and selling/installing new fireplaces and is not interested servicing existing products. I would recommend contacting any one EXCEPT Morrill & Forbes for your fireplace repair needs. They don't seem to care.

Saying Omar the Handyman is good at his job is like saying Taylor Swift and Steph Curry are good at…read moretheirs. We had him tackle a significant makeover and paint job on our 122 year old cottage. Omar's bid was a good 20% higher than #2. We chose him because of how clearly he talked the details, from paint chemistry for a salt air climate to the right way to replace those old cedar shingles. He also had a new kitchen window created from scratch to match the ones in the rest of the old house. Over the 3 - 4 week project, Omar and his crew invariably left the place immaculate, no clutter, no mess. The answer to nearly ever request was "Yes, we can do that." While they are not cheap, the tab for all of the extras we asked for was fair. And we have no doubt that the work will hold up very well. When you think about how valuable your home is, why would you not hire the best in the business to fix whatever is wrong with it? The property will appreciate, and pay you back 10X over.

The estimate was the most comprehensive that I received, which did build trust even though it was on the high side. In retrospect, the labor rate was too high for the quality of work performed. "Omar the Handyman" didn't do any of the work, he farmed it out. For projects allowing more planning, I don't think that I would work with them again. Doctor-level labor rates for amateur-level workmanship? Nah.

Keenan is incredibly professional, honest, and conscientious. When I first contacted him about an…read moreissue with the pilot on my gas insert fireplace, he told me it didn't seem like a serious problem and that he didn't want to come out and charge me for something minor. Instead, he kindly suggested that we do a FaceTime call so he could walk me through it. Meeting such a genuinely honest and kind business person is truly a blessing and a rare stroke of luck. During the call, I couldn't even find the knob to turn off the pilot, but Keenan patiently guided me step by step until I found it. Even after that, he carefully explained exactly what to do next--all without charging anything for his time. He could have easily scheduled an appointment, come out, and made quick money. Instead, he chose the harder but far more honorable path. I am deeply grateful for his integrity, patience, and generosity. I highly recommend Keenan to anyone looking for someone they can truly trust.

He said why didn't you slow down and go behind me. When a car is in front t of you gi es you plenty of time to slow down and you thi mt hey should have e to slow down enough to block traffic your the problem. City street moving between 30 and 20 mph and he wants me to slow down with traffic behind us..... bad driver would hate to see what his buisness practices are like. Mean while I have to tell him to pull up while he arguing with me because he currently has a full car length in front of him before a traffic light while he is busy claiming I tried to cut him off. Hope this guy isn't the head of the company. Cause his perspective is real off. If someone tries to cut you off and you charge at them its a vehicle accident if I slowly try to get in your lane with a signal and you speed up and I just stay in my lane, its you being a dangerous ass hole drive. Your luck the dot does not classify company vans as trucks moving passengers or cargo because then there is an official dot complaint line. As of what I looked into it would only be the pg police department and that is excessive. Good luck to your small buisness it seems like you have multiple complaints against you.

Julie, the sales manager, took the time to understand exactly what I wanted for my home and outdoor space and she guided me with so much expertise and warmth (no pun intended). I purchased a woodstove, fireplace tool set and two Adirondack-style Polywood deck chairs. The woodstove warms our home beautifully and it is so nice to have heat even when the power is out. They have an huge selection of stoves, mantels, outdoor furniture and stove accessories. Every item feels like it was chosen with quality and longevity in mind. All of the sales associates made the entire experience easy and enjoyable. Their knowledge, responsiveness, and true care for their customers set a new standard for what great service should be. They made sure I understood all of my options and every step of the process. I cannot recommend Woodstove and Sun highly enough. If you are looking to make your home warmer, more inviting, and more inspiring, this is the place to go.
