Bruce answered my call on a Saturday night, gave me a quick rundown of the how/why of raccoons in chimneys, and reassured me that the raccoon wasn't stuck. He came out the following Sunday afternoon, installed a one-way door, and returned 2 days later to inspect the chimney and install metal screening over the flues. His prices were reasonable, and I felt comfortable dealing with him remotely. Job taken in care of in an efficient and professional manner, while I'm still waiting for call-backs from two other companies!

i would give Alan Fortes a 6 if i could! we arrived at our seasonal cabin last Saturday afternoon…read moreto find the hot water tank leaking. Alan showed up more or less immediately in response to messages, bringing a new tank and a friendly, helpful attitude with him. when it turned out a different tank was needed, he went back and got it. he spent Saturday evening doing the messy grunt work of getting the old tank out and the new one in and was unfailingly cheerful and enthusiastic the whole time. a lot of people would show up and do the job, but make sure you knew it was ruining their Saturday night. not Alan! the work was done flawlessly and he cleaned up after himself far better than necessary. at the very end he was still upbeat enough to show me the cool remote control spotlight on his truck :) thank you Alan!

A. P. Fortes Plumbing and Heating is a five star company. On a Monday, I walked into my utility…read moreroom to find a puddle under the hot water heater. Cups and buckets were helping the situation but it was clearly a losing battle. Calling Alan's office, they recognized the urgency of the situation and soon sent Derrick over to examine the problem. The leak was getting worse and Derrick shut down the water heater and took the pressure off it. The following day Eli showed up with a new water heater, removed the old one and installed the new one, and by late afternoon he and Alan had the new one working perfectly. Amazing response from start to finish! Alan and his company are extremely accommodating and congenial. I highly recommend A. P. Fortes for all your plumbing needs.

My car stopped providing any power and the check engine light came on, luckily it was able to limp onto the boat and to Autoeuropa. My friends and family trusted this place. I was terrified because online it said the EPC light had a chance of being a death sentence and that the dealers often couldn't fix it (said people with similar symptoms) some reviews mentioned a class action lawsuit since sometimes there is no fix. 3 days later and with 1 reasonably priced payment my car is back on the road purring as she switches gears.

I could see from the Carfax that Autoeuropa was the last to service this particular vehicle. I left a message to try to get any additional info on true condition & prior service; really anything he could or was willing to share. Dave called me back immediately & had many years of service history & was so honest sharing all the repairs that would be needed immediately after I purchased. The car needs thousands of dollars $ in repairs, so ultimately I have Dave to thank for saving me @ least 15K, when all was said & done! Dave, I am so beyond grateful to you & will never forget the tragic mistake you prevented me from making...
