Sears / Air Duct Cleaning
November 10, 2007
I had air ducts cleaned out on 10/25/07, furnace working great!! for approx. 1 week turned up thermostat (house did not get above 65 degrees) thought it was the thermostat, so i had a contractor look at it maybe put new one in. he said problem was all dirt from air duct cleaning was blown into furnace therefor shutting furnace down. Sears who originally cleaned air ducts claims they didn't do it and have promised me for 2 days they would look at it. as of today no one has shown up. I have children in the house they need heat. Sears if responsible for getting the furnace working again and they wont do it. Stay away from this company! read full review »

Definitive Custom Homes
November 9, 2007
Definitive custom homes of San Antonio, Texas built a home that has numerous major water leaks due to both plumbing and exterior construction issues. It took almost 2 years for the builder to correct other major problems like severely scratched windows and buckled wood floors. And the Major leaking issue has been ongoing which the builder has still not taken care of. This builder had been unwillingly to fix the major problems correctly. I would strongly suggest not considering the Definitive Custom Home builders as they make promise... read full review »

Leon's
November 9, 2007
My wife and I ordered a bed from Leon's for my daughter's birthday, and were told that it would absolutely be delivered on time (they had two weeks). When two weeks passed I called them to see if the bed had arrived, and was told that it wouldn't be in for another two to five weeks! I asked to speak to the manager, but he was not available. I was told that he would call me back, but he did so only three days - and several phone calls - later. The result? Tough luck. There was no apology. When the bed finally came in after a... read full review »

I had a lock placed in the front door of my apartment by this company and I was charged 360. Four days later I was locked out of my apartment because the new lock was malfunctioning. Being locked out I had no phone, no wallet, or any access to any internet connection. I was lucky enough to find a number for a locksmith who could open up the door for me (who again charged me 350).

House to House franchise
November 6, 2007
This company, based in Needham, Massachusetts, promises to be the "small job specialist" and offers a 100% satisfaction guarantee. My experience was that they do not follow through on either. The workmanship was absolutely horrible. All jobs I hired them to do (jobs they assured me would be no problem and well within their expertise - removing wallpaper, painting, fix a leaky faucet). None of the jobs were done well at all (many look worse) and it took several frustrating phone calls to finally get them to come out to our house again... read full review »

Several months later, it got cold outside and we needed to turn on our furnace and it did not work.

The heating element on our Maytag Neptune dryer stopped working. It has taken 3 service visits and multiple parts to have them tell me that they don't think the dryer is the problem... they say there isn't enough electricity coming out of the outlet to power the heating element. Funny, there has been enough for 2 dryers in the last 13 years! Why couldn't they figure this out of the first visit? I would have saved $160 in service calls and probably the same amount in parts... read full review »

Sears / Kenmore Appliances
November 5, 2007
In April 2006, we purchased three Kenmore Appliances to receive a 20% rebate. We did not purchase any extended warranties because I do not believe in them. I believe a product should be made to last but I have been proven wrong. First of all, the dishwasher needed to be repaired after less than 13 months BUT just enough time to be out of the one year warranty. The seal on the motor broke - I sure that didn't happen overnight. We were forced to pay labor but not parts. Sending a letter to Sears was never answered ... what a surprise.

The bedroom sets looked great and the prices quite reasonable, so we made the 45 minute drive to the store. Once there, I saw that these bedroom sets were made of cheap press board with a fake laminate. I should have known... read full review »
