I recently hired Millennium Trenching owned by Larry Boll to install some drain tile and gutters. I've never had a worse experience hiring someone to do work at my home.
Larry gave me an estimate to install 390 feet of drain tile. The contract called for the drainage system to tie in the 7 downspots from my house and connect to the culvert at the road. The estimate also included a price to install gutters on a portion of my house.
First of all, Larry shorted me on the amount of drain tile installed - installing only 350 of the 390 feet of drainage specified by the contract. He neglected to tie in one of the 7 downspouts on my home and did not tie the system into my sump pump line. All of these items were specifically called out in the contract.
I've never seen a more amateurish gutter installation. The downspouts were "attached" with a 3 inch gap from the siding. There was none of the strapping that usually reinforces the downspouts to the house. The contract also called for Larry to install a "leaf guard" system on the gutters, which he did not do.
Adding insult to injury, Larry's workers cut into and removed a portion of my very expensive, previously installed LeafGuard gutters. There was no need to do this. The guys simply did not follow instructions, causing unrepairable damage to these gutters (and voiding the LeafGuard warranty).
I was ultimately forced to take Larry to court to gain settlement for the uncompleted work as well as the damage to my home.
DO NOT HIRE LARRY BOLL OR MILLENNIUM TRENCHING!!!

I had a similar poor experience with Mr. Boll and Millennium Trenching. Though Mr. Boll stated the job would take about 2 weeks to complete (beginning last Aug.08), after a succession of excuses, no shows and no calls - the job is yet to be complete.
There were several instances where the work that was accomplished was not as instructed.
