    Caulk or whatever material was used is peeling itself off the wall after less than 3 months
    Jennifer W.

    This may be a long one, buckle up. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We were in a jam with a leak behind our shower and so we were pinched for a timely repair.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We didn't have much time to shop around or to wait for a more affordable general contractor to be able to come out to do the work. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We agreed to a contract with Yankee Home Improvment for $19K, and they said they could be here within a week to get started.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Commericals rave about "ALWAYS DONE RIGHT THE FIRST TIME! NEVER CADDYWAMPUS!". Let me tell you the story how we now have a $19K shower that is still a bit Caddywampus after the not first, not 2nd, not 3rd.... but 6th time. Pros: -Quick -(thats about it) Cons: -Leaked -Smelled -Caulk has separated from wall within less than 3 months and proper care/cleaning on our part The day they came to do the shower install went good at first. They were moving at a great pace! There were 2 gentlemen working in the bathroom doing the demo/install and at some point a plumber stop in to do all of the plumbing work. He left before the bathroom shower/tub install was complete as his work was done. He NEVER tested his work, so when the 2 gentlemen doing the install wrapped the project up at the end of the day (I must be in the wrong business if a $19K job is done in one day btw! lol), they turned the shower on and it leaked all over into our basement and all over our firewood. Not the end of the world - it dries. The 2 install gentlemen "fixed" the plumbers work and the next day it was leaking. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We called and they sent someone out timely - I believe this 2nd visit (3rd attempt at getting it done right) they re-leveled the plumbing/p-trap.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] That gentleman left and after work I went in the basement to look at the work and it was leaking. Here we are at 4th attempt, 3rd visit - no longer leaking but smells HORRID! (Turns out someone messed up the vent pipe and so septic gas was leaking into our house, stinking the whole place up. Brings us to the 4th visit, 5th attempt to fix it - no idea exactly what he did but left and following few days still STINKS. Call AGAIN and they tell me it has something to do with the washer and dryer. HUH?! the washer and dryer are across the basement, not in the bathroom or tied into the plumbing they worked on and never been an issue. That would be one HECK of a coincidence! Here we are at 6th attempt to fix it, 5th visit, they have now FINALLY sent their "Master Plumber" - He says WTH did they say anything about the washer and dryer?! And laughs it off. (Honestly feel like at that point they were trying to blame something existing in our home vs. standing by their work and its issues). After Master Plumber totally redoes the plumbing, admits it was the vent pipe and leaves (we are now a month and a half into our "new" $19K shower), we FINALLY have a shower that doesn't make our whole house smell like sh*t or leak. Phew! Here we are not even 3 months into our new shower and I look down today and the caulk or whatever material is used to adhere the wall of the shower to the tub part, has complete peeled itself back and if coming off. I don't have it in me for one more phone call or one more visit to fix their shotty work. Mind you, for all of this I did politely let them know I would be looking for some sort of monetary compensation for all of the hassle and smelling sh*t for a month in my house. You know what the BEST they could offer was on our $19,000 shower? A $200 Amazon Gift Card. I tried hard to refrain from this review and gave plenty of chances but this wall separating was just the last straw. For what we paid we shouldn't have had these issues once, nevermind 6 now 7 issues in less than 3 months so I wanted to fairly share our experience.!

    We absolutely love our walk in shower. It's so classy looking and easy to clean. The contractor's were very professional and kept me involved in the process. I would totally recommend them for your bath remodel. ​

    Had a rep named Timothy Robbin's come to are home today and basically told me cost for a simple tub to walking shower conversion would start at $12,000 $20,000 or more I was ready to spent and get for near $3,000-$6,000 he said no .They don't do that work for cheap I show a pic of are shower as a comparison to yours which is the normal home size and was told over $12,000 by this guy

    I have nothing but good things to say about Yankee Home Improvement. They did a wonderful job installing my new shower, Kerri was NOT a high pressure sales person and we trusted what she was telling us. We decide to go with Yankee Home and couldn't have been happier with the end results. I would highly recommend them. Marc and Jess were here exactly when they said they would be here and worked non-stop. They were polite and completely cleaned up after themselves before they left. I would definitely hire Yankee Home again. Yankee Home may not have been the cheapest but I believe you get what you pay for and I would gladly trust Yankee Home Improvement in my home again. I feel they were the right decision for me.

    Not good. One day shower replacement $23k (with "discounts") should have been $12k. Took advantage of newly divorced mom.

The entire process was remarkable in that, unlike others, Dave kept his appointments on schedule. He personally inspected the roof and delivered a review of his proposal in tremendous detail. He has a warehouse with all of the material he needed for my roof, so no excuses about shipping delays, cost escalations or backorders. He promised a mid May installation and actually came a week early. He even got the building permit from the Town, which some other contractors seem to forget. His crew was well-prepared, setting up tarps to keep the old roofing out of the shrubs and lawn, got the entire roof (36 squares) done by around 4:00 pm. Clean up was impeccable. New gutters were installed a few days later by very knowledgeable craftsmen who made some upgrades that were much appreciated. I have no hesitation to recommend Dave Miner for your roofing and gutter replacement project. It's refreshing to work directly with the owner of the company.

(I should mention this is an aging tenant who was unable to tolerate the dripping of the leak or the fear that the ceiling would cave in while they slept). In desperation, I called twenty roofers. Several got back, but said they would only do repairs on roofs they had installed. The guy who repairs my roof was unable to locate the leak. Scott, the owner of Supreme, got right back to me. Although they rarely do residential jobs, when I explained the situation with the aging tenant, he came by on a SUNDAY afternoon to take a look and sent two of his crew that week to make a temporary repair. NO CHARGE. When the temp repair didn't hold, he sent two of his crew to make the necessary repair. Scott as well as Chet and Mike were incredibly helpful. Given my situation with the aging tenant, they were more than kind. I would recommend this company for anything. We are lucky to have them in Massachusetts. Dr. Susan E. McKenna

    I highly recommend Adam Quenneville Roofing and Siding !!…read more They did siding and installed windows for my large home in Shelton, CT. They made my old home into a beautiful new home. The old shakes were removed and the new siding was installed with additional insulation. As a result, I found my heating bills were reduced by 30%. Adam Quenneville Roofing & Siding also installed 15 new beautiful windows of high quality. The crew worked very quickly and efficiently even though it was summer and the temperatures were in the 90's. The cost was below that of several other companies that i had obtained quotes from. The work was completed in less than 3 days. They ordered the dumpsters and removed them ensuring that everything was clean before they left the job. I would hire Adam Quenneville Roofing & Siding again in the future for any roofing, siding and window-replacement needs I might have. They are very professional and polite. Everyone in the neighborhood remarked on how beautful my "new" home is.

He wanted to go in the attic and I said it wasn't really big enough for him to go into it just like a crawlspace where he could see. Also there is def damage on the roof because he was my second estimate where they actually went on the roof. In addition to that, my home owners adjuster saw the damage as well. The technician got angry and stormed away saying well I should call him then. I did call the manager to let him know what happened and he apologized and offered to send someone else out but at that point I was just like no thanks. I definitely would not recommend this place.
