3.5(8)✓ Google-verified
Evidence is limited and split sharply: satisfied customers praised quick work and fair pricing, but multiple earlier complaints centred on incomplete jobs, misleading sales tactics, lack of paperwork, and unfulfilled promises to return. The recent five-star reviews suggest either improved operations or selective service delivery.

Both reviewers praise Millpond's speed, pricing, and quality finish. Work took longer than first estimated due to weather, but the team communicated clearly and the final price held firm.
