I met with Cushman Design Group originally at the peak of COVID at 2020 to discuss a major…read morerenovation of my house. My goal was to have an architect really hear my vision for my dream house and then put the pencil to paper and make it happen. To say I am not an artist would be a severe understatement, so I really needed help figuring out and visualizing the end result. To say that I was pleased would be another big-time understatement. Milford Cushman is a wonderful listener. They say you have two ears and one mouth so use them in proportion: He certainly does that. He was able to turn my dream into reality. Milford and Terri (his partner and wife) are also just very nice people...so over the last three years, during this major project, we all developed a great relationship. We have just moved in, and everything that he did -- all of the detail, the angles, the thought process, the ideas, the creativity was beyond my expectations. On top of that, they were also priced very reasonably compared to some of the other firms. I would highly recommend Cushman Design Group to anybody that is thinking of embarking on any housing construction project: On a 1-10 I give them an 11 :) !

We hired Union Street Media to create a website in 2010. We were a start-up service based business…read morewith limited capital - initially we spent about $20,000. As a service based company we explained our needs and were told that our needs would be met. Aesthetically, USM did a good job, however the back end of the site was very difficult to manage, the site was extremely slow, incompatible with certain browsers, and full of glitches. We were paying $250 a/mo for hosting and support. To say the least, it just wasn't meeting our expectations. Over the course of the next two frustrating years, we spent in excess of $10,000 struggling to make our website, and relationship with USM work. Union Street Media finally proposed to convert our site to Wordpress to solve the issues they couldn't fix. This courtesy was offered to us for free. We were told the conversion would take a couple of months - we went over the full scope of work with their team and everyone signed off on what needed to be done. A contract was signed to this effect. 8-10 months later and we were still waiting for the conversion to be completed. Finally, they sent us a mock site to review. Not only did it not solve the issues we were having, it had LESS functionality than our current website. Meanwhile, they were consistently pushing us to sign off on the new website and send it live. We sent an email to the owner of Union Street Media, Ted, expressing our frustration. He called back telling us that this whole project was taking too long and we would have to start paying Union Street Media to complete it. Not only the that, Ted explained that all of their sites were moving to Wordpress and they would no longer be able to service our website if it wasn't transitioned to wordpress within a reasonable time. In short, if we did not pay them to continue the conversion THAT THEY PROPOSED, our site would be shut down. It was hard to believe that someone would intentionally put us in such a position in order to extort additional money. After several more conversations with Ted we realized he was uncompromising and we decided to terminate our relationship with USM, and ultimately terminate our business. Towards the end of this, just as an exploratory measure, we decided to try to build a new site ourselves, using Wordpress. With no prior coding experience whatsoever, we were able to have a working mock site up in less than two weeks. Ted told us it took them over 300 hours to convert our site. Six months later, after our business is folded and we've moved on, my business partner gets a call from a collection agency telling him we owe Union Street Media $1500 - FYI it costs $3,000 for USM to make our site interactive for cell phones, ipads etc - we paid half of that and refused to pay the rest when we saw that Ted was extorting money to complete our conversion. I couldn't believe it. This is my first negative review here on Yelp and my submission to BBB will also be a first. I believe yelp and similar sites are meant to help expose these sorts of unethical business acts. On behalf of most of the USM staff we dealt with, I can say they were always pleasant to talk to and their support team was was always responsive. I think most of our initial problems stemmed from USM taking on a project they weren't capable of handling. While I am sure they are successful real estate website developers, I can't say they impressed me with our website.

The fact is, I am a real estate salesperson, not a website designer. But I know customer service, and this company does not know anything about this! The fact is that my site is too slow. Visitors want to search property, and after having dozens of local "joe-users" look at the site, it takes too long to search. NOBODY will visit the site twice. How can I pay for this? I won't bore anyone with the "debates" that needed to happen on small site quirks, but their customer service was rushed, always acted bothered to deal with me, and quite frankly required me to push back several times on everything to get it taken cared of. When given the opportunity to "satisfy the client", I had to spell out some ideas for making me happy. I thought it was reasonable! They were "updating" servers in the coming week to speed the site, so I wanted my previous few months of a slow site to be credited. I would continue on with the terms starting when we had a "fast site". Nope, my account manager didn't have that authorization, so I was ignored. Like Stetson's review, I will be taking steps to fight for a portion of my $3000+ expenses thru legal means. Only caused by their infuriating restatement of a 1 year contract terms instead of fixing their crappy website design and hosting! Buyer Beware!

They were recommended by an acquaintance, so I thought I'd give them a try. I was moving out of my…read moresmall studio apartment, and specifically requested a regular (not deep) clean, because it wasn't dirty. They charged me $400 for 4 hours, plus a $30 fine because they found mice poop in one drawer. I was shocked at the price and shared that with them, but that was my fault - I thought it was $50/hour when it was $50/hour for each person (there were 2 of them). When I got home, the kitchen rug had not been vacuumed, and there were pieces of the stove knob labels all over the rug. The labels were peeling off all of the knobs. They "forgot to tell me" about it - I found it and the messy rug when I got home. They said they would drop off replacement knobs the next day, the day I moved out. I don't know whether or not they actually left the replacement knobs as promised because I've moved out. When I went to bed that night, I found that they must have dumped a bucket of mop water upstairs (right above the bedroom) because there was water dripping down the walls, the ceiling was soaking wet, and my bedside table was covered in water. My iPad was lying in standing water on the table. Fortunately, it only got a small part of my bed wet. Finally, I asked them multiple times for a receipt (I may be able to get my moving expenses reimbursed). They promised multiple times, but they never sent it. Never again.

OH MY GOSH!! The guy was an hour late, but he CALLED me to TELL me this! HOLY COW, and he had an excuse, the roads were icy, and I can verify this because I was outdoors early this morning, and it was so bad I nearly slipped and fell 3 times. So anyway, the guy arrives, and he has a Red Sox cap on, which is a risk in this neck of the woods. Vermont, if I had to guess, is 60% Red Sox fans, 40% Yankees fans, so yeah, we were happy about his hat. He is courteous, polite, young and cute (my sister's comment) and he petted the barking dog.
