  • Great job!

    We are delighted with our new paver driveway installed by Daniel and crew at Cascade Hardscaping. His work shows his expertise and eye for artistic detail. The neighborhood is elevated because of how our dream project turned out!

  • RELIABLE,PROFICIENT, PERSONABLE

    Jason showed up on time and got the job down efficiently and quickly and cleaned up afterwards. All the while being personable and professional. He went the extra mile to leave us some extra spacers and screws for an unrelated job we had going on.

    I Wish I Had Found Webformix Sooner

    I recently moved into a new home in Bend, Oregon, and signed up with an internet company I had not heard of before: Webformix. I only wish I had known about them sooner. They ROCK. The speed and reliability of the service are the best I have ever encountered. The internet itself is excellent, but what really sets Webformix apart is the company's GREAT attitude toward service. The staff is genuinely helpful, genuinely responsive, and genuinely super kind. That may sound simple, but it is not something I have often found in Bend, Oregon.... or really anywhere else in the United States. The people at Webformix seem to actually like helping people. Their service is immediate, and effective. I have honestly never seen anything quite like it. It almost seems too good to be true. But it is true. The internet service is the best I have ever had. The company is the best internet company I have ever dealt with. And, on top of all that, the price is lower than any internet service I have had before. Webformix has beaten every internet experience I have ever had, by a mile. It is excellent. I just want to spread the word and thank the company.

  • Bottom of the Barrel SCUM

    They have five stars ONLY because they manipulate reviews. In reality, this law firm will take your money (much more than the other local attorneys with a better success record), and they will extort you right up until the week of trial and then ask the judge to be removed from the case. That's what they did to me. Now they owe me $7,500 for services they DID NOT perform, but claim they did. Now I have to get another lawyer, to sue this one. Fun ain't it? These people are bottom of the barrel scum, and hell has a special little place tucked away for them ;)

  • Local business with worse-than-chain store service.

    We purchased thousands of dollars of kitchen appliances for four newly built rental homes through Johnson Brothers. One range was damaged upon opening, and Johnson Brothers refused to provide credit due to the length of time from delivery to installation. Building is unpredictable and these appliances were ordered well in advance of home completion due to shortages. Johnson Brothers saved a few hundred dollars by not covering the range, however, they lost all of our future investment property and personal home business.

  • Reroof

    Scott’s guys did a great job. As a exroofer myself (from years ago) I could tell they didn’t take any short cuts and clean up the area when they were done. Bob

  • Customer Service Alive and Well in Hobby Lobby in Bend, Or

    When I dropped by Hobby Lobby on a Saturday afternoon I was surprised to have a very pleasant women greet me with a smile and a welcoming attitude. This seems like something you don’t experience any longer these days Customer Service Wow I loved it! The women’s name is Debby and with a smile asked me what I was looking for and then told me exactly where I would find my items. My rushed somewhat harried mood improved immediately and I found my items paid for them and got on my way. How I missed this service and a smile and energy Debby showed me. Hobby Lobby keep up this kind of service . Michell Segel Bend , Oregon
