"Joe responded quickly to my request with a fair quote. He completed the job sooner than anticipated and kept me updated during the process. Billing process was electronic and easy to complete."

"James did fantastic work today. He performed the annual maintenance/inspection on my wood burning and 2 gas fireplaces. He arrived on time, communicated about what he saw and did, worked quickly, gave me piece of mind that my fireplaces were functioning well and lastly left the fireplaces very clean! Thanks to James and Bonfe for your over 10 years of great service you’ve provided us."

"My installation experience with Craftsman went extremely well. The crew came right on time as promised. They worked quickly and efficiently for three days. The head of the crew said they could have finished in two days but he doesn't like to rush at the end because that's when people take shortcuts and don't do as good a job cleaning up. Unusually conscientious approach. The products seem exactly as described. All of the details we'd discussed were included, like colors, finishes, and using primed wood trim pieces that can be painted once the weather is warmer. The crew cleaned up each day and did a thorough cleanup at the end. Haven't had much chance to use the windows yet, but they open and close and look good inside and out. These were old window openings so lines weren't all straight and squared perfectly at first, but they did a good job of creating clean lines and squared corners. The custom curve on one window in front looks very attractive inside and out and this feature took skillful measuring and installation. The company was more than reasonable about the final payment. It turned out the install happened just before I left town for a month and I asked if I could postpone the final payment until I had a chance to really check things out more thoroughly. They were very understanding and flexible and I really appreciated that. They also sent a note saying that they stand behind their work and to let them know if there are any issues that come up later. The only reason I gave the company a B was that the contract was signed Oct. 1 and the install date came up very suddenly in January. My previous experience with windows and doors was that the job was performed within not more than 6 to 8 weeks after the contract was signed. We didn't really talk about the timing prior to signing the contract and in hindsight maybe I should have asked. Once the contract was signed I was told the approximate install date would be mid. December. That was disappointing. But the products didn't come until January--even worse. This may have been the fault of the supplier, but any delay should be discussed with customers as early as possible and approximate revised install dates should be negotiated at that time. When this didn't happen as expected, it made me think the company might be unreliable and I began to mistrust my judgment in signing with them. As it turned out they did high-quality work and my worries proved unfounded. I would definitely hire them again, but ask more questions about timing next time."

"Communication was excellent from the first phone call discussing the estimate, scheduling the service, and during the work. Work was done quickly and professionally and all the issues were resolved."

"Great job!"

"This is the second time we used Able Chimney sweeps. Will did a fantastic job cleaning our Fireplace. Great customer service. Showed me photos after the cleaning and definitely will be using this company again. I highly recommend anyone that needs their chimney cleaned."

"Air conditioner turning on when only the fan should be working. Alex diagnosed the problem as a wiring issue when humidfier was installed last year(not installed by S & R). Re-wired and tested each function and now it works beautifully. Thank You S & R."

"We had a french patio door and 11 windows replaced in our home in Stillwater, Mn. We were extremely pleased with all areas of the process. Although the project was originally planned for mid November and did not start until mid-December and the weather created a few issues, the project was completed in a timely manner once it was started. I was very pleased with our installation crew: Chris, Gabe and Tanner. They worked very hard, were very considerate and punctual. Our sales person, Chris, did an excellent job in explaining the construction and product, Marvin Infinity windows and doors. The QC inspector, Josh was extremely thorough. Very little work had to be redone but Josh made sure every scratch and defect was replaced. We were extremely pleased with the thoroughness of his work. Every member of the Lindus team was professional, polite, informative and respectful. We listen to Andy Lindus on WCCO radio and that was the reason we choose Lindus Construction. The cost of our project was high and more than I expected to pay but we are very pleased with the end result."

"BUYER BEWARE! I WAS CHARGED $530 TODAY FOR A JOB THAT RUMPCA WOULD HAVE CHARGED $250 FOR ONE YEAR AGO: PLEASE READ ON: RUMPCA NO LONGER BILLS CUSTOMERS BASED ON PARTS AND LABOR. I Just spoke with Mr. Rumpca on the phone and he explained to me "We stopped doing that a year ago." The least they could have done for a long term customer was tell me up front that parts and labor charges are out the window. Mr. Rumpca further explained "We now charge a flat rate." IN CASE YOU'RE WONDERING WHY RUMPCA NOW CHARGES A FLAT RATE here's how it works straight from the mouth of a reputable small business organization: "When a small business is paid a flat rate for completing a service, it can make more money by performing more services in a shorter amount of time" Unfortunately that means you, the customer pays more. In my case a lot more. More than double the price of what I would have paid under Rumpca's prior labor and parts pricing system. My furnace was not working properly yesterday. So I called Rumpca and they stopped by. They ended up replacing the gas control valve. Under Rumpca's prior practice of charging for parts and labor the total cost would have been $250. Here's how that breaks out: - LABOR $150: According to Homeguide The average cost for a service call is a minimum charge of between $75 - $200 and that is applied to the first hour of labor. I'm using $150 which is near the top of Homeguide's range. The technician was at my house for 1/2 hour - SEE TWO PHOTOS AT BOTTOM. Here's what he did: 1.) He looked in the error code window on the front of the furnace and it indicated that the gas control valve was bad 2.) He removed 2 screws and took off the furnace door 3.) He detached 2 electric quick disconnects from the existing gas valve 4.) He backed off the 2 threaded fasteners and removed the existing gas valve 5.) He rubbed thread sealant onto both threads and attached the new gas valve 6.) He plugged 2 electric quick disconnects into the new gas valve 7. He ran a quick pressure test 8.) He refastened the furnace door with 2 screws. THAT'S $430 DOLLARS FOR 1/2 HOUR OF LABOR - THAT IS WHAT I PAID UNDER RUMPCAS FLAT RATE PRICING - UNDER THE PRIOR LABOR + PARTS PRICING MY LABOR COST WOULD HAVE BEEN $150. - PARTS $100: The gas control valve Rumpca installed is sold on Amazon for $75. Since Rumpca is a business, they pay about $50 for the valve. Assuming they double that to make a profit on the part, $100 for parts. - TOTAL COST THAT RUMPCA WOULD HAVE CHARGED ME A YEAR AGO WHEN THEY WERE STILL CHARGING A FAIR PRICE BASED ON PARTS AND LABOR WOULD BE $250 ($150 labor + $100 parts). UNDER THEIR NEW FLAT RATE PRICING I WAS CHARGED $530. That's right! $530 dollars for 1/2 hour of labor and a part that cost them around $50. YOU NO LONGER RECEIVE AN ITEMIZED BILL THAT BREAKS OUT PARTS AND LABOR - Just a single line with the final amount. It's like taking your car to the auto mechanic and paying an expensive bill and you have no idea how much you paid for parts and labor - Since you're not a car mechanic or in this case a heating and a/c technician you have no idea how the costs break out for the parts and the labor - Not exactly good for an informed consumer but great for the small business, in this case Rumpca. RUMPCA IS NOT THE REPUTABLE COMPANY THAT I'VE BEEN DOING BUSINESS WITH ALL THESE YEARS. In my opinion their new business model is to gouge as much as they can from the customer with flat rate pricing and manage their Google reviews so they look good (That night after they preformed the service they solicited a Google review from me via text message just like shady online companies do). I will be filing a formal complaint with the Minnesota Attorney General and the BBB - Rumpca should have notified me up front that I was no longer being charged for parts and labor as has been the case for many years. Morally suspect to say the least when a company changes their terms of service without notifying an existing customer. I will also post my review on all other online review sites so others know the score."
