Constraction reviews across the US

Short version of the story…..

Went in to purchase material for our outdoor arena. Was met out in the yard by David, who was very nice and incredibly helpful. He gave me the quantity of material needed for the job after I provided the dimensions. After choosing the footing, dealt with Nancy in the office. David advised that he could get “washed stone dust out of Dover”. Specifically asked Nancy for “washer stone dust”, which she replied, “yes, washed concrete sand”. Not being a pro in aggregate material, I assumed what she called the product was just a different name for the same material. Product was delivered with 2 problems; first, the quantity was calculated incorrectly (about 1/6 of what was needed) and secondly, it was the wrong material. I totally understand the quantity being wrong, but when asked about the material, Nancy said, “there’s no such thing”. When I stated that David offered it and it came out of Dover, she said, “….well we don’t get anything from Dover, so I’m not sure what he’s talking about…”. After speaking with David, she realized she was wrong, but still wasn’t inclined to apologize and continued with the “I’m right” mentality.

Not trying to be difficult, I simply asked for a 10% discount on the remaining material needed and I would even keep the incorrect material. Andy, in the office, said she would speak with David for his approval which was later “approved”. Being a business person, I thought this was an easy decision and obviously the right one given the circumstances (this was $6,000 worth of material).

After the remaining material was dropped off, it was time to pay the bill to which Nancy replied, “David can’t do that….”, when referring to the discount.

The owner, David, is a great guy, but this company definitely could do without Nancy……she’s likely costing them tens of thousands of dollars with poor customer service and thinking she calls the shots over and above the owner.

I DO NOT recommend doing business with D.L. Docko & Sons unfortunately.

D.L. Docko has been my spot for about a decade and they’ve never once let me down. Hands down the nicest yard guys out there. They keep their yard pristine and their materials are always free of foreign debris and other materials, etc. Office staff and delivery drivers are the best too.
I lost track of time working out on the property recently and the driver made it a point to come find me on the property to make sure he dropped the material exactly where I needed it. What else could you ask for?

Thankful to have a good honest spot just down the street!

Had some work in my yard. They had great pricing, easy delivery. They stayed on top of what was needed and delivered on what was given to them last minute. The material they sent was perfect, had no moisture and no debris. Would 100% recommend them for all your needs. Have used them for septic in the past as well and had great service and pricing.

We initially engaged Docko for our new Septic System and everything was exceptional, from start to finish everything was explained very well and the installation went as exactly as discussed with no issues. David and team kept us in the loop from the start of the planning process to the completion of the installation.

Once the Septic system was completed, we then decided to work with David to discuss the grading, loaming and stone options around or property. He was great at explaining the options and invited me to the yard to take a look at the types stone available on top of giving us sufficient time to make our decisions. Once arriving at the yard, everyone was friendly, explained everything very well and gave us options for any materials that may not be in the yard.

Upon making our decisions David came back and completed the grading and loaming of the back property and the placement of stone around the house foundation, under the decks, and a new firepit. He completed everything as requested and was shown on our plans to include providing some great advice on things we did not account for.

Due to the above we will be definitely calling Docko back when it is time for us to complete the front property and we will be recommending Docko to anyone who is looking to complete either one of these services.

Perfect septic contractor. Docko installed a complicated residential 2 tank system to replace a 70 year old system at my home. I had gotten 3 other quotes. David was very thorough in the consultation and answered all my questions.
They started work 2 weeks later and finished the install in less then a week.
It would be difficult to find another machine operator as skilled as David.
I knew I made the correct choice after the first day.
Materials they used were top choice. Job site was left very clean after each day and when they arrived they never stopped working. They really went above and beyond anything I expected. Communication was excellent and even the state inspector complimented the work. You won’t have any worries if you choose Docko for your septic installation. AAA+ We are extremely pleased with their work.

If I could give 1000 stars to K J Fisher and Sons, I would. They are punctual and have a wonderful team!!! We had them fix and repair our culvert and driveway.

They show up when promised and their work is superb. Give them a call today, you won’t be disappointed.

Highly recommend K.J. Fisher and Sons!! I have hired them three separate times to do work on my farm - driveway construction and extension, pad prep for barn and hay shed, water/electrical trench, and horse riding arena construction. Top quality work and pleasant to work with. They really care about their customers.

We had KJ Fisher install a new septic for our house in the middle of winter-they were quick, professional, friendly, and easy to work with. We also called on them to install a jet-out on our driveway. Always quality workmanship done quickly. Highly recommend!

Outstanding group to work with! Kevin and Barb have been and continue to be a trusted trade partner. They have guided us through challenging projects while maintaining best methods for lean project management and they consistently approach each project in the most economical manner possible. You can depend on them to be there when they say they will, and there is never question about what needs to be done. Kevin has been in the business for many years, and it shows. His crew is reliable, respectful, and productive. Clearly, Kevin’s leadership and care for our projects extends to his crew, and we, but moreover our clients could not be happier with the results. Furthermore, they are responsive to your queries and needs.

Thank you, KJ Fisher and Sons, for supporting our small company, and being an integral part of our success.

I am an Operations Manager at a non-profit camp and conference center. K J Fisher and Sons has helped us with road work, site work and lately a huge fire pond cleaning. They are very well managed and amazing to work with. They communicate very well with budget, work timeframes, etc. they are very honest when it comes to everything and makes sure they explain the best way to do things and also not the most expensive but the right way for their customers. I highly recommend them and anyone wanting more detailed recommendations please reach out to me!

Very family oriented company. Reasonable understanding and fair above and beyond to lend hand. Definitely one of the best jobs I’ve had.

Great neighbors vets rock go navy😎

I've had the pleasure of having Carrigg on a project of mine and I find them easy to work with, true to their word and professional above all. My client has been so impressed with the finished product that we are expecting another phase of work equal to the rather large contract that we are currently undertaking.
Their Electrical Division is just as competent and professional, which was rewarded with a large contract to replace a lot of outdated switchgear and cabling.
I'm looking forward to many more projects with Carrigg.

Bristol Construction did a wonderful job with a recent project I had. They were polite, professional, and stayed on budget and schedule. The communication was top notch, and they were very easy to work with. I look forward to working with them in the future.

My wife and I had a great experience with Team Engineering. Jeff was the engineer we worked directly with on our project and he was terrific. He was punctual, professional, and communicative. Team Engineering helped design a new structural beam for our basement so we could open up our space. We understand all projects are different. However, if you are looking for an engineer firm that you want to feel confident in using, please reach out to Team Engineering.

We cannot say enough about our initial consultation with Brian Ki. He was extremely professional, honest and thorough in his assessment of our old lake home renovation and addition project needs, with regard to existing structure and building codes. He was very patient in answering our questions and in providing engineering guidance, as we make decisions about moving forward. Will not hesitate to work with him.

We've worked twice now with Brian on follow up to our home inspections and he has been incredibly responsive, professional and insightful. We are thankful for his assistance. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to others and will continue to use him for our future projects.

I had been working on a large car port project for my home, and hired Brian Ki at Team Engineering to do some planning designs for me back in 2017. His work was excellent, and I really felt like he understood exactly what my needs were. Unfortunately, at that time I put the project on hold as the costs were more than I had anticipated to build my ideal car port. Fast forward to 2021 and I decided it was time to move ahead with a scaled back version of the plan. I hired a contractor who was able to get a permit and they proceeded to begin the construction. At the initial stage of construction I ran into a bit of a conflict with the contractor on how the structure was being built. I immediately reached out to Brian for guidance and he was able to assist me over the phone with my concerns, even though he had not worked with me in a few years. He remembered the project and took time to explain his answers to my questions, even though I knew he was swamped with other current projects. I really appreciated his professionalism and his guidance. I would recommend him to anyone who is looking to have some work done that requires an engineer. He is honest, direct, and patient. Thank you once again Brian for your help! I look forward to working with you again in the future if another project pops into my head.

They did a reserve study for our condo association, and coordinated quotes for deck replacements. The reserve study estimate was way below the quotes. They charged extra hourly work of more than $3,000 (which was not in the Association's budget), and wanted to be paid to rework the quotes. The association fired them. We later learned that they forced their subcontractors to price everything high. Not a good experience for us.

Just worked with Team Engineering, they were professional, polite, and to the point. They guided me through the engineering process and gave me extremely sound advice. They helped me feel confident in the decisions I am going to make going forward with my home. I would recommend them to anyone who needs a structural engineer!

My experience working with Brian at team engineering was awesome. It’s rare to find upfront straightforward no-nonsense business relationships these days and I greatly appreciated Brian‘s expertise, honesty, and candor on my unique projects needs.
