Great Company, Staff and Beautiful Work
I contacted Apex Welding as I had a problem with my rod iron gate. One would no longer open at all. The other had a problem closing into the latch and both were pulling away from the walls they were attached too.
Josh & Austin came out very quickly. Looked at the gates. Gave me a couple of options as to how these could be repaired. We agreed on what would be done. Josh & Austin came out the next day and made the repairs we had agreed upon. They did a beautiful job. They were very neat and left the area clean. Showed up on time. Two very nice guys that do great work. I would highly recommend you call them if you are in need of their services.

Very impressed with BuildZoom
This my first exposure to BuildZoom, and I am impressed. As a consumer, my comparative point of reference is Angie's List, and BuildZoom provides FAR more information about the companies that they curate for me. I particularly like that each company has it's own 'portal' serving as it's information and data hub. I do wish that I, as a BuildZoom client, had my own individual portal, with all of my added company portals (sub-portals?) accessed from within mine. This would make it easier to go back and find the portal you are looking for. Also, the portal for each company should list their actual phone number, in addition to their 'BuildZoom phone number,' which took me a little getting used to. Lots of 208 numbers!
One item that could use a couple of slight improvements is the way that BuildZoom collects feedback on their suggested companies via text messaging. 1) I am fine with rating them by text - it's very easy - but each company should generate it's own single text. As it is now, I'll get a single text that might have 3-4 companies, asking for feedback on each. But since they are all on one text, it's hard to know how to respond ... 2) the timing of the feedback texts seem off to me. Currently, as soon as I have my initial phone conversation with a BuildZoom company, I get a feedback text. That seems too early to me. I am soliciting bids from these companies to do jobs at my residence - I shouldn't be receiving a feedback text until a company representative has physically come by to my inspect my job AND given me a written estimate. I don't see how anyone can rate a company without meeting them first.
That being said, I am very happy to have stumbled across BuildZoom. I think they have a great business model that is way superior to other alternatives that I've used in the past to find companies to help me on jobs. I will certainly use BuildZoom going forward!
