What is this?

What is this?

We display two types of written homeowner feedback on GuildQuality member profile pages: Comments and Reviews.

Comments

In response to our customer satisfaction surveys, homeowners share lots of comments about construction quality, communication, or any other question asked in the survey. Guildmembers can selectively publish these comments here on their profile page.

Reviews

Reviews are different than comments. These are star ratings that homeowners ask us to publish, and they come with a written description of the type of experience they had working with their contractor. We publish all of the reviews we receive: positive and negative alike.

I have been with Downes Pool Company for fifteen years now since they built my pool. They are always there when I need them no matter what the request is. I wish other service people were half as good as them. I highly recommend them for building and maintaining a pool.

We're now on our second pool with Downes - they are very responsive, and do a great job. If they could only make Chicago summers longer !

We're opening a door off the back of our house and would love some advice on choosing the wood type.

As beautiful as wood doors can be, they are constant maintenance. They will always have the potential to crack. Now, being that you will have some protection, it will help. If your house is a period s ... read more
