By Rumsey
Andy Goodall was very professional and informative about the attic insulation and sealing project. John Goodall and his team did an excellent job. The blower door test done after the job indicated over a 30% reduction to just above the minimum level calculated. The only negative was there was a couple of miscommunications/misunderstandings. When I received the proposal by e-mail from Andy I did not realize I needed to sign and return it for the work to be scheduled. Maybe a note to the customer that this is necessary would be helpful. When Stephanie and I discussed payment options, I decided to pay by credit card. I thought it was decided that the deposit would be paid by the credit card. Somehow Stephanie believed I would send a check. When John finished the work, he asked for payment. I was at work that day and it created some confusion among all parties, since I believed it was taken care of at you office by charging my credit card on record there. The AEP rebate was more complicated due to personnel changes at Good Cents which were not communicated to Alford in a timely fashion. In fact I finally received my rebate in total on June 16, 2014 more than 6 months after the job was completed. Maybe a little better follow up on the rebate process would reflect well on your service. In conclusion, I feel I had to do more follow up than I should had to. Maybe an enhance effort to communicate the action needed by your customers would have made things smoother. I hope my experience may help you with making your business more successful.Sincerely,Rumsey Oates

Our foreman, Josh, and his coworkers, Travis and Terry did a phenomenal job on our crawlspace encapsulation. They showed up on time, worked diligently all day and cleaned up the work space each day. The crawlspace looks and smells so much better! Josh walked us through what they had done at the completion of work each day, taking photos so I didn’t have to crawl up in there. At the end of the job he assured we were comfortable with function of the sump pumps and dehumidifier and walked my husband through the crawlspace to inspect their work. They did a wonderful job and are such a nice team of workers! Thanks so much guys!!

My basement walls were under pressure and giving way. Alfords came in and installed helical beam supports along the entire back wall. Additionally, they updated the floor waterproofing system and installed a beautiful new sump pump. It's so clean and dry and nice in my basement that I am the envy of the neighborhood. Thank you Alfords!!

We recently had Alford complete a project and I recommend this company to anyone. We found them to be from the beginning, very detailed and cost conscious. We found the material they used to be above what other companies offered for a higher price. The construction itself was done in a most expedient and positive manner. The test of any construction project is how you are treated not only before and during but after the project. Recently, we found a small leak and reported it; the same day the original crew visited, identified the problem, and repaired it. We are completely satisfied with the results.

Everyone I talked with in the company was cooperative, professional, and knowledgbale. I had another doing landscape woark at the same time and Alford was very helpul in making sure all the work was done as efficiently as possible. I am glad I vhose Alford to do the Helical Piers. I am confident our foundation problems were corrected.

Outstanding! Alford’s website says you can “get a free estimate”. You get more than that! You get a team of people who show that customer service is still alive and well. I got a quick reply to my request (thanks Casey for the phone call!). And if your “free estimate” is a little different than most, Kevin also talked to me on the phone to understand what I needed and emailed me an estimate that same day. Call Alford Home Solutions where you get real people who really care. Again, outstanding!

I had previously posted a negative review for our driveway repair. I am so happy to say that Alford came back and fixed the problems we had with the repair. Andrew and Taylor are excellent at what they do, and I am totally satisfied with their work. And they are super nice guys too! Thank you Alford Company, Andrew, and Taylor for taking good care of us. I would highly recommend this company for their work, and for their customer service.
