Reviews from the web

Showing 8 highest rated

I expect excellent service from Towbes, and this experience was nothing less than excellent. Due to the pandemic I had held off on reporting minor issues, but when the toilet seat broke off, I could not wait any longer. I reported five separate issues, and requested service come on a day that would not interrupt my child's Zoom-from-home schooling. Service did show up on the day I requested, and all five issues were addressed quickly. Carlos was perfectly polite and perfectly professional. The work is excellent. I love living here!

I really appreciate the quick response to my request! The furnace pilot had blown out while I was vacuuming & the heater/fan dial for the bathroom had broken. Carlos came within 2 hours & quickly fixed both concerns. He was polite & professional. I'm impressed with how quickly Ivan responded to my voicemail regarding these concerns. Thank you so much!
