Deck Repair

Prompt reply to my email. Danny came to see my deck and take measurements. I could tell right away he was a man with integrity. He gave me a fair quote and had the job done that week. Brian was the carpenter he sent. He did an amazing job and made sure the deck was safe and solid. The area was left clean and Brian even put my BBQ back up for me. I would definitely recommend them. Excellent customer service. They will be my first call for future jobs.

Roof Drainage

I gave them a deposit after accepting their proposal and waited for this small job to be done. I twice asked for an approximate date and got nothing but sweet talk - obfuscation. After 3 months I cancelled the contract.
I am still waiting for a refund of my deposit which was promised "asap' over a month ago.
Thank Goodness I have never encountered a company like that before. How do they stay in business?

Condo reno

Verne did a great job on transforming my daughter's condo within the time frame decided upon. He installed backing for floating shelves, put up the t.v. on the wall, installed a chandelier and pendant lights. Also had wall paper installed in the bathroom along with other smaller jobs in the condo. Work was top notch, and completed to our satisfaction. Very happy clients. A big thank you!!!!

BUYERS BE WARE

We contracted them to take care of our lawn, at a high price (which i agreed to) BUT after the spring cleaning the regular weekly service was terrible, they do not trim properly, they cut the grass too law in spite of asking them not to, they did not turn the mulch in the beds even though i paid extra... BUT WORST OF ALL IS THAT THEY DO NOT RESPOND TO TEXT OR PHONES...I called and text John (the person responsible for our area) several times, initially he responded after that not one single response, then called Jason (the manager) and left two messages , no answers... very frustrating , the one thing they do well is send the bill every month on time

I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience you've experienced with our lawn care services. Your feedback is crucial to us, and I'm genuinely sorry that we fell short of your expectations. This is certainly not the level of service we aim to provide, and I appreciate you bringing these issues to our attention.

I understand the frustration you must be feeling, especially with the lack of responsiveness from John and Jason. Rest assured, we take your concerns seriously, and I am committed to addressing them promptly.

To initiate immediate corrective action, I will personally investigate the matters you raised, including the improper trimming, the grass length, and the failure to turn the mulch in the beds despite the additional payment. Additionally, I will ensure that John and Jason are made aware of the urgency of your situation, and we will take the necessary steps to improve our communication channels.

I understand the importance of reliable and efficient service, and we are committed to making this right for you. Please allow me some time to investigate and implement corrective measures.

Once again, I apologize for any inconvenience caused, and I appreciate your patience and understanding as we work to resolve these issues.

Exterior Painting

We contracted Absolute Home Services to do quite a bit of exterior painting for us: deck floor, awnings, shutters, canopies and vinyl siding. Gerald was out project manager and we had 5 individuals who actually performed the work. The workers did a great job, worked well together, were pleasant to have around and cleaned up at the end of every day. Painting the awnings and the canopies was a bit challenging yet the end result is everything we had hoped for. We rated our satisfaction as 4 out of 5 in that we were disappointed the Project Manager did not stop by before or during the time the work was being completed. We realize there are always other projects going on and emergencies can arise, but we feel it is important to the customer to show an interest in the work being completed. However, We would be remiss if we did not give special mention to Andriy as he went above and beyond every day to ensure excellent customer service. Andriy was early to arrive and always the last to leave, he was the one who made sure everything was put away at the end of the day, and he ensured we were satisfied with the work being done. We can only hope Absolute realizes and acknowledges the excellent customer service Andriy delivers!

ABSOLUTE-LY NOT

This project was a disaster from start to finish. They move the furniture off my back before they stand it to prep, they didnt come to the work for weeks which means I didnt have furniture or barbeque on my deck for Mothers Day. The guy that came to do the actual staining stopped halfway and now I have a finished job. It looks like it was done in two different jobs. He also didnt finish doing all the trim work and I was told I had to wait because other jobs are more important than mine before he finished. They also left my furniture downstairs and then move it back up because I said thats not part of their service even though they moved it off my deck. The vice president himself of the company had to come and lift it up because I complained. I absolutely do not recommend using absolute.

I'm truly sorry to hear about the negative experience you had with our services. It's clear that we fell short of meeting your expectations, and for that, we sincerely apologize. We take customer feedback seriously and are committed to addressing the issues you've raised.

First and foremost, the delay in starting and completing the project is unacceptable, and we understand how frustrating this must have been for you, especially with the timing around Mother's Day. We are actively reviewing our scheduling and project management processes to ensure this doesn't happen again in the future.

The unevenness in the staining and the incomplete trim work are also concerning. Our team is dedicated to delivering high-quality results, and we failed to meet that standard in your case. We will be reevaluating our training procedures to ensure our crew members are equipped to handle all aspects of a project effectively.

Regarding the issue with the furniture, we apologize for any confusion. Our team should have communicated the scope of our service clearly from the beginning to avoid any misunderstandings. We appreciate your feedback, and we will use this as an opportunity to improve our communication and customer service.

The involvement of the Vice President is not something we take lightly, and we're sorry it had to come to that point. We are committed to addressing your concerns and making the necessary changes to prevent similar situations in the future.

Your feedback is invaluable to us, and we will work diligently to rectify these issues. We genuinely appreciate your honesty and regret any inconvenience you've experienced. If you would like to discuss this matter further or if there's anything we can do to make amends, please don't hesitate to reach out to us directly. Your satisfaction is our priority, and we hope to have the opportunity to regain your trust in the future.

Deck restaining

We used Absolute for a handyman job and were very happy. But our deck re-staining project (solid colour) didn't go well. They emphasized the importance of the deck being dry. When the painters came, it had rained earlier that week and there was rain forecast for the next day. The painter said that the stain would dry in a few hours and it wouldn't be a problem. A couple of days later we saw bubbles forming and stain peeling. They offered to come back to fix the problem, but this time came only a day after it rained and with rain forecast within hours. Again, the stain started bubbling and peeling. We now have at least 8 spots all over the deck like this. I don't think the deck was properly prepared either time. They offered to come again but I didn't want more of the same. They declined my request for a partial refund.
