After a season
The review that matters is the one after rain, freeze, or a full summer — not the week they packed up.
Roofs, grade, HVAC, and fence posts lie in month one. They tell the truth after a winter. If you’re writing a referral the day the crew leaves, tap On time and Fair pricing if that’s what you have. Come back after a season for Stood behind the work.
Would you hire them again is the only score that counts. Stars and paragraphs are how Facebook groups fill up with fights. A neighbor who had them twice is worth more than a neighbor who had a feeling.
If the work failed and they came back, that’s a good crew. If it failed and they didn’t, that’s the tag. Keep the story short.
