So I did a thing..... it took me nearly 20 years, but it's done. I have central air. Brrrrr…read more Thanks Magara's Heating and AC. You rock. You're the best AC company in the area. Very affordable and responsive to phone calls. Years ago they put a my furnace in. Originally, I went to Home Depot to have them put in my AC. Set up a day and time for the estimate to be given, took that morning off, after waiting a few minutes for them to arrive I decided to check my phone. There was a silent missed call 7 minutes earlier so I called the employee from a well known company out of Olean back and was told the he marked me down as "no AC" I explained that I didn't have his number programmed into my phone and therefore it went to silent voicemail. It was literally less than 10 minutes when I called him back. I asked him if he could still come. I was still home.... Hem and Haw... can you come another day. Hem and hawed... Finally he said he would call me later that day when he finished the other job...... I waited with bated breath. Silence. No phone call. My philosophy- if A.S. has so much business that they can snub me they don't deserve my business. I refuse to beg for their business. Well anyway I wasn't going to necessarily have them put my AC in. I was getting a quote and still planned to call Dave Magara. Dave and his son were very courteous. They did a spectacular job and when I called they answered or at the very least returned my call. The price was very reasonable. I HIGHLY recommend Magara's Heating and AC. Grrrrrrreat customer service.

In the end the project turned out good but there is a few things that need to be improved on before…read moreI would even consider hiring Rambling Ranch again. Preconstruction/scheduling 1. The project was originally planned for a full week so our work schedules were modified accordingly. The project ended up taking 2 weeks 2. The weekend prior to construction start we received a call to let us know they wouldn't be able to work Tuesday (day 2) because they needed to finish another job. Again our schedules were arranged to accommodate a (1) week timeframe. We noticed multiple times throughout the project where Chris disappeared to finish other projects or provide quotes to potential new clients. Construction 1. No temporary protection was provided so we had scratches on our wood floors. Our floors are old and worn so this was not a big deal for us but may be a bigger deal for others 2. They used our scaffolding inside and we noticed dings and dents in our wood vaulted ceiling and window trim from them moving the scaffolding around 3. Some of the staff was extremely unexperienced 4. During the masonry portion of the project there was a grey dust layer left over the entire house. No attempt was made to contain the dust. Post Construction 1. Rambling Ranch was notified the day the project was finished that we weren't happy with the look of the sides of our new stove and that the grout in the hearth had already started cracking. The stove was painted after being set into place because there were scratches and blemishes all over it because it was placed in the project area prematurely. We notified them of the deficiencies and they said they would get out to fix it that following week. Approximately a month later we received an email that Chris was on vacation and he would take care of the issues upon his return. The issues were ultimately taken care of but not until we had other issues and this was closer to the end of April. 2. We had a rain/wind storm early April and water began dripping in from stove pipe penetration through the roof. We notified Chris immediately but didn't hear back from him until the next day. We were told that we needed to wait (2) weeks for repairs because they were renting a lift for another project and needed the lift to make the repairs. Thankfully rain was limited within the (2) weeks but as we got closer to them being on site we had a pretty heavy rain and water was now pouring in and dripping from the wood vaulted ceiling. The sense of urgency was not there and it took some not so nice calls to get the issue addressed right away. Still dreading every time it rains but fingers crossed the issue has been fixed. The leak took (3) days to correct. 3. We found birds in the stove and could hear them in the stove pipe so we reached out to Chris to discuss potentially changing out the pipe cap with one that has a bird stop. This time Chris didn't respond at all. We ended up calling Countryside Stove and Chimney to come out and change the pipe cap. We called on a Monday and the cap was changed by the end of that week. It was clear after working with Rambling Ranch that they are understaffed and take on too much work. We will be taking our business elsewhere from now on.

I hired Jon Neudeck to repair a concrete driveway at my home in Allegany which was poorly executed…read moreby another contractor previously. (that review is also posted) Jon quoted removal of the entire existing driveway, installation of 4-6" of subbase material, use of rebar 2' on center and 6" of concrete with a trench drain. Overall, I was very impressed with the quality of Jon's work, and the fair price that he quoted me to do this work. The pictures say it all- he is a professional mason, in my opinion, and I would recommend him to anyone. Note that I reached out to him after seeing another job that he did on 5th Street in Allegany, which was another impressive job. If I had one area of improvement to offer, communication was limited during the execution phase, so there were times when I wondered when he was going to return to continue the job. Overall, he completed the job in a reasonable time, at a great price and his work was very high quality.
