Made a request through Angie’s List and also called the next day. Scott called me back and our conversation was pleasant. Said he would email me my options and he could install in time for my child’s bday. After not receiving an email I sent a message. No response. Called again and left message, no response. Very disappointed with his customer service. I would not trust him to follow through on his word now.

We regret to note the low rating, especially considering that a quote was not solicited for this particular task. Our communication may not have effectively conveyed that. Our current focus is exclusively on the installation of residential swing sets. We appreciate your feedback and will strive to better communicate in order to avoid any future misunderstandings.

Scott and his team did a wonderful job installing our swing set. They were very responsive from the very first contact to the time the installation was completed a week later. They handled everything, the delivery, leveling and installation of the playset we wanted at a reasonable price, which was so convenient for us. On the day of installation, they were done in under 4 hours, which allowed our kids to play with their new set the whole afternoon! I truly appreciate the amazing, honest and straightforward service we received and would recommend The Swingset guy to anyone looking to install or move their swingset.

We gave our swingset to a family that my wife works with but neither of us had the means to move the swingset. The other family contracted with the Swingset Guy to deliver the swingset from our house to theirs. I was impressed. We left to go run some errands and the swingset was still in the backyard. When we returned about an hour later, it was gone. It must have been a simple process for them to dismantle it, load it onto a truck, and deliver it. The receipients had a fence around their backyard but this wasn't a big obstacle. The guys had it set up quickly and the the kids could not be happier.

Unfortunately we had a very bad experience with Scott. I contacted him nearly 30 days prior to installation as this was a birthday present for our daughter. He was very responsive early on. Much to my surprise he contacted me less than a week before the installation date with news of a shipping delay. We had some miscommunication via email, and he never returned my calls. He made a unilateral decision to ‘end our relationship’ 3 days before the installation, and left us scrambling for Plan B. He was apologetic, but the damage was already done. He had several excuses for his situation, but the fact of the matter is he was unable to deliver and failed on his end of the deal.

We regret that we were not able to start and complete the install project that we had agreed upon. [Member Name Removed] is correct, we were very apologetic and the reason was personal and family related. We could not share the details, but understand that regretfully their family had to come up with plan B.

We hired Scott after reading about his service in the Angie's List magazine - he's an award winner for a reason. Let alone the fact that he and his crew moved a playset from one side of Carmel to the other in one morning, without breaking anything, including lifting it OVER a chainlink fence. Just as important to me, he communicated well via email, showed up when he said he would show up, even power washed the set for an additional $95 the next weekend. I almost wish I had another swing set to move just so I could watch him do it again, it was awesome.
Description of Work: Moved an old commercial play set from one residential back yard to another. Power washed play set on a separate visit.

Overall, it was a great experience, well worth the money.
Description of Work: Mr. Ice is very professional. The crew were respectful and worked hard. They did a terrific job, and they fill in any gaps in the construction or instructions without a word. It was an all day job and they finished. We would use them again in a second. My kids love what they built, and I know it was done right.

Scott came out to the house provided a detailed estimate, let me know how the process would work for providing service, then he communicated every step of the way. The services were provided over a 2 day period which spanned a couple of months. He did not require any up front money. The bill was presented when all work was completed. I would highly recommend Scott and the Swing Set Guy.

He arrived on time with three helpers and had the set put together in 8-9 hours. It was a very complex set and I'm not sure we ever could have assembled it without them. They were professional, friendly, experienced, and hard working. I would recommend them to anyone and would use them again in the future myself!

Great work and great experience. We have recommended Scott and his company to others and will definitely use his services again.
Description of Work: Scott and his crew purchased and set up a new playset in our backyard. They handled any leveling that needed to be completed and even rearranged how the playset was to be set up per our instructions. They did a great job, cleaned up the boxes, etc. afterwards. Scott even came back out and added an additional board that we needed.

Mr. Ice returned our calls promptly and set up a time to put up the playset. Although the weather was terrible on the scheduled day, he and his crew arrived on time and worked very hard to install the playset. We are very happy with the work, and would recommend them highly. Also, they were all very nice people to work with.

Scott and his crew did a great job. Scott was extremely professional, returned calls promptly, showed up at assigned times, explained exactly what he would do, and performed quality work. He even asked permission from the next-door neighbors to drive his pickup and trailer through their backyard so he could haul the swingset to our yard. So did we, but I was impressed that he also thought to stop and ask.
Description of Work: Scott and his crew moved a wooden swingset frame from our neighbor's yard (two doors down) to our yard. They had to partially disassemble the structure and then reassemble it in our yard. They put a new roof on the "fort" and installed new accessories such as swings, glider, etc. The job took 6.5 hours.

Scott is an excellent Contractor, very personable and detailed with his work. He walked us thru the process and guided us in every way. He even made suggestions of how to complete the play area and with what type of mulch to use. He was on time, extremely efficient, kept the job site area clean from all debris and made the entire process easy for us. He provided suggestions of what type of product to purchase, where to look at different types of swing sets and provided his opinion of what was the most sturdy equipment to buy.
Description of Work: Scott built & installed a cedar swing set with materials we purchased from Menard's. He also put landscaping timbers around the perimeter of the swing-set. He was extremely professional, came out to our house to look over the property before installation and measured the perimeter for landscape timbers prior to installation of the swing set. We had the work completed while we were gone on vacation. He completed the swing set in the time he said that he would and was detail oriented while building the set. We are 100% satisfied with his work and would recommend him to anyone. Great person to do business with and would contract again in a heart beat!

Scott Ice responded extremely quickly to my call and was extensively knowledgeable about the different types of sets that are out there for sale. He seems to have put together all types and quickly answered my questions. We have not yet had the playset installed, but are planning to in mid-June. We will definitely have him do the work!
