called for estimate on work needed, they scheduled an appointment and than never showed up. Never called, never did anything. I guess they are too big to care about losing jobs. LOL what? you respond 4 years after me posting this review?You guys are so out of touch.. Also your employees are shady, they took a drop light out of the maintenance room that did not belong to them or the company or asked to use when they insulated a room. This was the first time we used you but gave you another chance and you completely blew it.

So far my experience with them was anything but good don't make satisfaction was supposed to give a estimate I actually planned on getting them to do it but they said they give me a estimate never let me know when they come till I called them then he was supposed to come out a couple days ago said he'll let me know and never did and I'm in a hurry so I definitely would not recommend them if they operate like this

The team from Boak & Son’s are professionals from the initial quote to completion of the job. Even during this crazy time with storm damage across the area, they came out and did the job on time and you could never even tell they were here.

William was excellent in his communication skills. He explained the job in detail. His crew did an excellent job, as two other companies tried to address the problem and failed. Boak and Son lived up to their excellent reputation. As my wife’s old name popped up. My name is William Sloan.
