Sherman Structure Demolition and Removal

He explained exactly how he calculated the price to haul away my junk. He called before he came and was very prompt. He did a great job and was very professional.

Called and asked told receptionist that I had several home repairs that I needed done.  She tranferred me to Jim in the handyman division and I related what I needed done and set up a date and time for them to be completed.  The carpentry perso arrived on time and went over the work requested.  He did the work well and cleaned up the debris which was hauled away. When he finished, he asked me if it was completed as I wanted and also if they was anything else I needed completed.   I was very pleased with the serive and the price was fair.

All calls were returned within 8 hours or less.  Arrived 15 minutes before scheduled time.  All doors installed in time frame stated (one day).  Cleaned up all areas and hauled away old doors.  Price seemed a little high but considering there were no problems with contacts, or not showing up when scheduled, etc., it was well worth the price.  Tom and Tom were both very pleasant and helpful to work with in all aspects of installation.  Would highly recommend them and will use them again.  Price

These guys are GREAT!!  -  prompt, professional, knowledgeable, courteous, good humored and tidy - They gave me an estimate on the work, showed up when scheduled (with the necessary equipment and materials), did the work, cleaned up, and charged me the agreed price.  What a concept!!  Scraping and sanding the basement walls was a really dirty job and they cleaned up so well that if it wasn't for the finished job I wouldn't have known they had been there.   They even hauled off some additional trash!   I will definitely use them again and will enthusiastically recommend them to all my friends. 

Just moved to Springfield and set up service with Allied after researching all the companies available in the area. They were prompt in delivering the bins and are responsive when contacting them by phone (missed my first pick-ups, but they came the next day again). The only reason they didn't get an A across the board from me was because they evidently have a policy that they won't collect garbage bins from an alley due to the type of automated trucks they use. I live on a wide alley and I think they could get their truck into it; it's a long haul for me (and quite noisy to my neighbors) to bring the bins to the street curb.

Fantastic make-over of entire yard. Very helpful with plan completion including a variety of odds/ends tasks for project prep that recent health issues prevented me from completing. Entire crew very respectful, helpful and attentive to detail. Surfaces finished to properly drain water. My highest recommendations.

The project was put off for about a week, as he was finishing another job. The day he began he stated he would be here Monday at 9am. I took off of work to meet with him. He did not show or call, so at 10 am I called him to see if he was still coming, he stated he was tied up with a job and would be there around noon. Noon came and went, he showed up around 2 pm. He was completely unapologetic, I was basically told, too bad I was busy. He said he had no idea he wouldn't be here by 9 and had meant to call me........ Then he hauled 3 strangers into my house with him, I was never introduced to them. He explained the work to them and then left without a word to me. Work seemed to go well that day and the next but the 3rd day the problems started. He fired one of the men that was here drywalling and from then on every problem with the project was caused by "that guy". Every time I spoke with him, he was complaining to me about the job! They came to the job unprepared, no ladder, no sawhorses, and then helped themselves to our ladder and sawhorses and tools that were in the garage. They never took any trash or debris with them, instead they filled up our trash can and left the rest piled in the garage. I still cannot get all of the drywall mud out of my trash can.... I felt very uncomfortable every time I needed to speak with him, especially when I needed to ask him a question about his work. Scott seemed like a bully to me, he raised his voice to me on the phone, told me he never should have started this project, and needed to get out of it. He also told me he was losing money on this. He was completely unprofessional. And I haven't even gotten to the quality of work........ The job basically looked like we had done it ourselves, which was not what we had expected for $2000. They broke the frame of the French doors and then hung them incorrectly, and blamed it on warped doors....... The shut-offs for the water and the drain pipe are nailed into a 2x4 that is nailed to the wall. The shut-offs are level with my outlets and are completely visible above my machines. I don't mind seeing the shut-offs and pipes, but the 2x4's are what really make it look like a do-it yourself job. And I've definitely seen better drywall jobs, but as he kept telling me, it's no big deal, it's a closet...... We were told the project would take 3 days, which I questioned because it seemed too good to be true. The project took 2 weeks. But it's probably hard to finish this kind of job in 3 days, when you don't show up until 2pm or some days don't come at all. I could not wait for the project to be finished, not so that I could do my laundry but so that I'd never have to talk to Scott again. Also, Illini claims to be accredited by BBB, including having their torch emblem on his business cards. From what I have researched, this is untrue.
