    Boates Brothers, and Alan specifically, was such a fantastic surprise to work with. Alan was very knowledgeable about our large-scale commercial project and offered several suggestions to better meet our needs and budget. His team brings a wide array of skills to the project and his enthusiasm is contagious. Highly recommend.

    The people were initially very nice, so I feel bad for leaving a bad review, but I feel even worse for myself after I felt like I was taken advantage of. As a new first-time home owner, I was dealing with a leaking window. At the time, I had very little knowledge of home repairs, so I reached out to Boates Brothers, and they sent someone out to take a look at the window. The gentleman suggested that I caulk the window myself so that I could save money. I really appreciated the honesty and tips. I caulked the window as suggested, but it kept leaking. I reached back out to Boates Brothers, and they again sent someone out. As they looked over the window, I was told they wouldn't be able to identify the cause of the leak until after they ripped off all of the siding. The gentleman asked if I wanted him to replace the windows while the siding was off, since that would be the best time to do it. I declined because the windows were nearly brand new, and again, I had no knowledge about home repairs. At no point was any testing ever done to identify the source of the leak. I'm not sure why the gentleman couldn't use a hose to help locate the leak. Regardless, I went ahead with the recommended repair. After spending over 3 thousand dollars, I was told they found the source of the leak, and one of the contractors even gave me his "stamp of approval" and assured me it would never leak again. I was very happy with the work until the next rain storm, and saw that the window was still leaking. I reached back out to Boates Brothers, and their response insinuated that it was my fault for declining to have the windows replaced. I am not a contractor, nor do I have the knowledge of the repairs. Never once did they say that the window was the cause of the leak. In fact, they told me the exact opposite. I hired them to find the source of the leak; it was not my responsibility to do so. Instead of offering to fix their work, they wanted to charge me an additional $2,500 to do the project all over again. I feel that they saw a young couple who were first-time homeowners and decided to take advantage of me. I strongly suggest avoiding this company at all costs
