Re: anonymous blackballsFeb 12, 2011


if they weren't perfect as you say, why hire them. i do not cars if he posts anonymous if it saves anyone aggravation. I pay for a professional job. When people are spending other people's money, they seem to forget that . i don't. if there is a reason to not use the company
i listen to WNYC and i like the show on Leonard lopate , once a month , home inspectors father son team, They seem to know what is going on. I have worked in construction type job, there are more ways to rip somebody off if you dont know the game, and aren't bought out.
coop= your going to be ripped off if your board does not have challenging abilities.

perfection - RLM Feb 13, 2011


is unobtainable.

Our roof got done on time, with very few cost overruns (which were offset by savings in other areas). The job was professional, and considering our board was brand-new and thrown right in the fire, Rand was patient, communicative, and thorough.

In other words, they got the job done.

doing the job one was hired to do is not perfection, it is fulfilling a contract /work order.
i notice that people who are spending others people money, don't care too much how the job is performed and the quality of the work. it sounds like your work was performed satisfactory, That is good.
i expect quality work when ever i am paying for it to be done and would hope my board did the same, but i know that is not true. workers leave people apartment doors wide open, 3 x in 3 days, the owner is out and at work and comes home to a open , not unlocked ,open door at 6 pm and the workers left before 5pm. another day the worker is on another floor the door is open.did the same with a couple people in the building. workers paid to remove their construction debris and old tiles, stuck it in between the walls and floors , so when there is a leak , the extra weight causes a bigger problem. of course the MA likes these people and will rehire them,so you have to read between the lines

...that how do you know it isn't a COMPETITOR of Rand's posting that negative comment. Unscrupulous businesses post unsubstantiated negative comments about their competition all the time
