I'm pretty new to the area, and I'd worn out my poor realtor with recommendations for electricians,…read moreplumbers, roofers, and even sidewalk work contractors. So, I decided to give her a break and research a tree service solo. I contacted other services who didn't call me back, but when I put in my information onto their website, I got a punctual call. The Grubb rep was professional and helpful accommodating my hectic schedule. The field reps visited my property and provided a reasonable estimate, and again worked with me for my hectic schedule to drop my trees. Billy and Luke rang my door, stepped back, and met me with professionalism and courtesy. They explained the process and all potentials, allowing me to ask questions, get advice, and make the decisions. Billy and Luke then put on their safety gear and went to work. They efficiently dropped my diseased trees threatening my home. I appreciate the cost and professionalism of everyone from Grubb's!!

Poor experience. Bad communication. Will not be using again…read more We hired Grubb Tree to install a french drain and dig out our front ditch. They cut our water line. Instead of calling a plumber, they incorrectly patched it and our pipes were clogged with mud, leaving us with no water. When we asked the onsite manager, "What is your process for handling a situation like this?" the response was "Well you signed an agreement saying we aren't liable for these types of things. People don't usually read the whole thing and miss that part. As long as it [cost to fix] isn't too much, we will do right by you guys." We felt like this response wasn't helpful as it turned the relationship from collaborative to adversarial. We solved the problem on our own by calling 3 different plumbers to assess the issue and 1 providing a fix. We then tried to coordinate with Grubb Tree to cover the cost of the fix. At this point, we determined that it would be best to coordinate with Luke Grubb who originally estimated and contracted this work in order to ensure that the repairs were reflected in the contract.  This is where the communication broke down. Instead of putting us in touch with Luke, our calls were seemingly screened and forwarded to the onsite manager, who never forwarded our calls. The receptionist said she would "have Luke get back to us", but he never did. After repeated attempts, we were provided paperwork via email that reflected the cost reduction for the plumbing fix and they were scheduled to return and finish the work. This is where we wish the story had ended. Grubb Tree returned to finish the french drain, which they did without headache. When it came time to dig out the front ditch the onsite manager was refusing to perform the work outlined in the estimate, claiming an incorrect interpretation of the imagery and work statement. After back and forth, the matter had to be escalated to Luke. He admitted a "miscommunication" on their part and instructed the team to proceed according to the contract.  The quality of work on the ditch was insultingly poor. It was clear from the haphazard discarding of topsoil and snakelike pattern of the cut out "ditch" that the onsite team was rushing this part of the job and adhering to an almost malicious compliance and interpretation of the statement of work. We understand that mistakes and miscommunications happen. However, we expect to be treated with respect as the paying customer. To us, this would mean our contractor ensures that our voices are heard without condescension. It also means that our contractor performs work of a reasonable quality and assumes a certain level of care. Unfortunately, in this case, we feel like Grubb Tree didn't meet these expectations and it resulted in a poor overall experience. Therefore, we will not be doing business with them again.

These guys are hands down the best painting/handyman service I've ever used. The owner James was…read morevery responsive and professional throughout the entire process. Instead of just painting over some soggy wood on the trim of my house, he pointed out an underlying issue that would have only gotten much worse with time. Not only did he thoroughly fix that problem, he was able to take on an unexpected additional repair in my house that no one else would agree to do, and did an absolutely fantastic job. The rates were reasonable and I feel very confident in their honesty and skills. I would recommend this company to anyone and feel lucky to have found them.

Blue Ridge roofing…read more This company owned by Jerry Bach and his son Jeb Bach was the installer for our new metal roof. We worked out the details with them ahead of time to get the right dates and times that would work for us on changing our room from a shingle roof to a metal roof Jerry did all the preparatory worked and came and saw our house and came up with a contractual agreement showing us all the things that we would need. He also worked with us on the snow guards as we live in the mountains. He also helped us with a gutter system. It was designed in Sweden to handle large volumes of water and melting snow. When knew all the total cost ahead of time. We signed a contract with all the details in place Jeb are installer came and kept me up-to-date. We lived out of town at a second home and he would send me photographs and call and text me and give me updates. He would also ask me questions if there were decisions that need to be made on the go, Jeff was unbelievable and stay in constant contact with me to make sure that the job was done correctly as well as my wife and I liking. When we were visit the house, they would make absolutely sure that we could access the house and kept their equipment and trucks and positions. It would allow us to get in and out when we had to come and go. They were extremely considerate about their workspace and their tools in terms of us entering and exiting the house. They would also pay extra attention to detail such as keeping the property clean from the debris, cleaning up each day and removing all the extraneous materials from the ground and property for safety issues as well as for cleanliness The craftsmanship of our very complicated roof, which had at least five or seven different sections required a lot of on the go, mechanical decision-making on how to design the roof and put it together. Jeb was an expert in that area and made every effort to make the job look fantastic as well as to make it functional. At the very end of the job, Jeb made sure that the water would not affect our mulch or flowerbeds or other parts of the house, but also helping us design exits for water to move it away from the house Jerry, who is the owner was always available to help with changes that needed to be made or other issues. He kept me informed as well as Jeb of the progress. After the project was done, we reviewed everything in detail and my wife and I were very satisfied. The roof was absolutely beautiful. The gutter system was amazing and the entire installation went well with very little issues. Of course, we had to contend with rain and some issues that slowed things down, but the professionalism and the architectural design was fantastic I would highly recommend this company to anyone for the roof replacement!!!!!!

Ive found it hard to find quality guys in the local area - they are always busy or taking breaks for deer season, etc. Paolo was responsive, courteous and best of all, built me a huge deck off of my second home that is so solid, I believe it will be there long after the home rots away. During the project, he replaced a rotted joist, added tyvek tthat was missing and repaired flashing and filled gaps at my door jams - problems he noticed as the project went forward. He didn't make up any of the issues - got to see them all first hand and was pleased that he brought them to my attention instead of just slapping up a deck and taking my money and running. He truly cares about the quality of his work and it shows. I would highly recommend him for anyone needing repairs, remodeling or decking. I will be hiring him again.

You would never know there was a mess made. He has gone above and beyond our expectations. CVRS has earned 5 stars.
