I hired this company to do the work on my house that was recommended in a home energy assessment…read morecompleted last year. Initially Alex Minaboo, the owner, came to look the job over and in that visit recommended replacing all the heating ducts in the house. He tried to sell me a heat pump system which I did not want to do since the existing furnace is only three years old. There was nothing in the home energy assessment report indicating I needed to replace the furnace or the ducts. A few weeks later, the foreman (I think that is his role) came by to assess the job, and said he did not think the ducts needed to be replaced as they were still quite new. I opted to not replace the ducts but to proceed with the air sealing of the heating system that was recommended in the home energy assessment. Alex later said the air sealing could cause a problem for the furnace, which he said was too large for this size house. He suggested that adding an additional heat register might mitigate a potential problem with rapid cycling, and I opted to do this. In the course of All Things Good sealing the heating ducts and adding the new register, the blower on the furnace stopped working. Alex deflected and denied responsibility for his company causing the problem, disparaged another company that had installed the furnace, and argued that his company could not be held responsible for damages when something breaks in an old house while they are working on it, referring me to a clause in their contract. To fix the furnace, All Things Good charged $1200.00 in labor costs (for a job that took no more than 2 hours on site) and the blower was about $700 more). I have always thought "if you break it, you fix it" and I was floored by how this was being handled, but since I do not know HVAC systems and could not in good conscience argue that I was certain the breakdown was caused by their work, I proposed we split the bill for fixing the furnace. My offer was refused. Alex then had the gall to argue he was already giving me a discount on labor costs, and threatened that if I did not pay he would put a lien on my house. I paid the bill because it was not worth my time to fight with All Things Good. I see a number of positive reviews here and at least one that is like mine. My experience was very unsatisfactory and I will certainly never use this company again.

The team was professional and fast and they went above and beyond in explaining the water heater and the app. They even installed a new light in my basement so they could complete the work, which is helpful to me as well. And then they came back and installed some additional insulation to mute the water heater noise. The office staff was also excellent and very responsive and helped me get all the rebates I was eligible for. Look no further, All Things Good is the team you need .

He and his crew did a very thorough job with the air duct. They used a huge vacuum and other smaller vacuums all with HEPA filter. They also offered to clean the dryer duct and bathroom fan which they also did a great job with. Before they put back the vent cover, they put a filter on each one of them and turned on the furnace to let the filter catch any particles left in the vent which was a great idea. After it was done they showed me photos of the furnace blower and the before/after photos of the dryer duct. It is amazing to see how clean it is now. I highly recommend this company

I found this company on Yelp (via Clear Thumb) and they had fantastic reviews and referrals The team was over at our house this afternoon, and I appreciated getting a call from them in the morning with an arrival time. They immediately got to work, being careful to leave their shoes off, neatly removing vent covers, marking all the locations with temporary blue tape so that they wouldn't get mixed up and performing the duct cleaning. Afterwards, Diego pointed out that our vents in the rooms were not sealed against heat loss, something that should have been done when they were installed in the house the first time around and quoted us a great price for the service. He went through and put heat tape on all the vents - thank you! Beyond that, Diego thoroughly inspected the ventilation system and pointed out things for me to think about in the future, like the fact that the heating system had a vent going to our uninsulated garage and that we would save energy by closing it off permanently. I really liked the team - thank you for taking great care of the house!

We called Royale Air to give us a plan to install 2-zone system, replace our old thermostat and potentially some ducts, install 2 Nest thermostats and 3 Temperature sensors across the house, and clean the ducts. Abdu gave us an estimate that was reasonable but most importantly tailored to solving our problem as opposed to adding more services. We agreed to his estimate on the spot. We were aware of how much our neighbors spent on similar services. We were put on schedule for the work to be completed which took a bulk of a day. Crew came in on time, respectful of our house (shoe covers, floor covered, clean ladders, etc). Abdu continuously consulted with us when things weren't as straightforward (like possibility of running wires from attic to main floor). Work completed on time. Crew cleaned up the place as if no one was there. Abdu called us few days after to check if we had any questions. Family owned small business. Honest and personable. You can't beat that.

I contacted Big Red after having read great reviews here and on NextDoor…read more So glad I did! This is a first rate company in every way. The owner, Kathy Kovell, is so experienced, knowledgeable and fun to work with. Her crew, most of whom have been with her for some time, are just terrific. The sub-contractors she hires are people she has worked with for years and who she trusts to do an excellent job. She holds everyone's feet to the fire, too! They built a casita (ADU) for us and, while they were here, we engaged them to have our roof replaced, a driveway added, a retaining wall and a pathway. The casita is beautiful. It was completed on time and on budget. The work is first class in every way. We absolutely could not be happier! If you are remodeling or needing to build something, you will not go wrong contracting with this great team. We are so glad we did.

I can't tell you how great the experience with them has been. We've formed a great relationship, and everyone in their office is also helpful and very knowledgeable. I have never found this amount of service from any other contractor (and we have used several).
