Applied Service Corp

In 2019, much to my chagrin, I had a leaky 70 year old underground oil tank removed from my property. That part of the job was handled perfectly. Matt put together a stellar report to which I got an immediate response from NJ DEP that they could not process b/c there was no money in the fund. 5 years later, April 2024, my name came up, and the grant was approved "based on its technical merit." Matt was right there, helping me through my questions and reassuring me, since I was aware it could be a nightmare. Coreen gave me a date and explained what to expect, and true to her word, the team arrived right on schedule. Brad handled the machine and did an expert job excavating perfectly since it was so close to the house. Diane, the chemist, explained what the process is, and kept me informed throughout the day. Scott helped me schedule and remove another tank by my garage. Ben and Eric were on hand too. The team was efficient, professional, kind, and thorough, and wasted NO time, and took the utmost care to protect my property. This team is so skilled and experienced, I was completely reassured. It was completed in minimal time and according to budget. I could not have been in better hands, and I am incredibly relieved to have this all behind me! Thank you team Applied, I highly, highly recommend!

I would recommend Applied Services to anyone for work they need done in this scope. Their team is professional, thorough, honest and they do not waste time. They went above and beyond in completing my soil remediation. Thomas J, R. Dover

My husband called for an estimate for an oil tank removal installation, spoke with Scott he was very patient and professional he came quickly and explained everything in detail. We received estimate via email - Tank removal and tank removal with installation. We had 3 other estimates that were higher and not as thorough. They got all permits. They were really nice, polite, cleaned up very well “The whole crew was extremely nice and quick and friendly” The process was a breeze with them. We will recommend them to everyone!!!

There were essentially four steps. First was the initial proposal after examination of the property. Excellent customer service. Questions were answered with professionalism, kindness, clarity and knowledge. Next step was signing the papers and the initial payment was made. Flawless... I was in the office and it was friendly and a nice environment. Third was the placement of the new, above-ground tank. The men were on site when they said to expect them, we did a walk about afterwards so the new tank/lines were familiarized and the shut off valve was noted. Lastly, the tank pull. Precision. It's amazing how the area was barely disturbed and a shrub was placed back in its original spot with such care. The kindness of that last step is appreciated (with an understanding that the evergreen might not stay healthy). A few other concerns were addressed right away with kindness, understanding and some humor.

Matt and Scott were outstanding to work with on this project. Our two phase project was an estate sale that had a 30+ year old in-ground oil tank that needed to be removed prior to closing on our house. We received four quotes for the job and Applied Service was the lowest quote but spent the most time with us prior to signing the first contract to remove and replace a tank. The new Roth Tank install and old tank went smoothly over a two-day period of time. The install of the new above ground tank took about 5 hours including recovering the existing oil from the tank and transferring the oil to the new tank. The guys worked non-stop and their workmanship was perfect. It took another 5-6 hours to pull the existing underground tank which leaked and to re-fill the hole. Unfortunately the dirt samples came back contaminated and then Matt had oversight of the phase two of the project and contract as it involved the dirt remediation project while Diane handled the dirt testing of the entire tank area when excavated. The dirt remediation took another 5-6 hours and over 30 tons of dirt were removed and tested and finally came within the required specified limits established by the DEP---and then they back-filled the hole with quality back-run dirt. You would have never known that they were ever there! It took approximately 4-6 weeks from the start of the project to receiving the "No Further Action" letter by the DEP. They are so familiar with these projects that it look effortless on their part. From the ladies in the main office, to Matt and Scott, to the guys in the field----all professional-timely and always true to their word---but most of all they were honest and upfront every step of the way. If you are looking for hassle-free service you have found the right company!

This was a two day process with new tank installation on the first day and the removal of the old tank on the second day. All the work was carried out very professionally. The contractor set up the tank removal inspection timing and there were no problems. The tank that was removed was very near the support leg of a deck and the contractor was careful to avoid disturbing it. The hole was filled in and the area cleaned up.

Excellent! The crew arrived on time and were done in just a few hours. They made sure that the inspector was on site to check the tank and back filled the hole and cleaned up our driveway.

I am VERY pleased with the professionalism and diligence of Allied Services. Their workers were very polite and explained everything that was going to happen. Other than a bare spot on the lawn, you cannot tell they were even there.

This is a very tricky business with oil tank removal and I think they could follow the rules of the New Jersey DET more thoroughly. I'm pretty sure they were on time.

Walter is very knowledgeable and professional. The whole process went exactly as it was explained. The crew was polite and professional. Work was completed as scheduled. They did a great job! I would use them again, highly recommended!

It went very well. They were professional and punctual, and provided an excellent service. They did an outstanding job, and I would definitely recommend them to anyone.

From initial contact to the removal of the tank, Applied Service was top notch! I had reached out to a few other companies prior to meeting with Walter and none were as knowledgeable/thorough. Having an oil tank removed can be a daunting task for homeowners but not with Applied. They said what they were going to do and did what they said. After the initial meeting at our house on a Friday, we were told we would be scheduled on Monday and to expect the removal date to be in about 3 weeks. We were scheduled on that Monday for 3 weeks later and were told that we would be reminded a week prior to the removal date. A week prior to the removal date we got the reminder and were told the crew would show up between 9-10 am. Come removal day, the crew showed up between 9-10 am. They were professional and worked very well (and clean). Thankfully our tank did not have any leaks and that was it for us as far as dealing with an oil tank. However, had the tank leaked and we had contamination, I have no doubt that Applied would have done a great job with soil remediation just as they did with the removal of the tank. Highly recommended!

They were great. Everything went without a problem. They were here when they said they would be. They took care of getting the permits and arranging for the inspection, and promptly returned to dispose of the tank once the inspection was completed. They were very friendly and courteous and I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone.

I contacted three contractors for an estimate for this job and Applied Service was the middle quote amount. They came out and were very friendly and said they had a lot of experience installing the Roth tanks. Their web site was also very informative and they received good reviews there and on Angie's list. I picked them for the installation for all those reasons. They emailed me before the date of the appointment for installation and explained the additional costs needed for the town inspection. They also called me the day before the install to make sure everything was still on schedule. On the day of the installation, they arrived on time and spent approximately 5 hours installing the new tank, reconnecting it to the furnace, adding a tiger loop aeration system, transferring the oil from the old tank to the new one and cutting up the old tank and cleaning the inside. They made sure the furnace was back up and running at the end of the tank install. They also installed 2 bollards in the garage in front of the tank to protect it from potential vehicle damage. Finally, they cleaned up after themselves. I was watching them the entire time and asking questions and they were very friendly and answered all my questions. They worked in close to freezing conditions outside and in the garage, with some snow on the ground. They offered to provide some protection for my carpet in the basement, as they were walking back and forth, but I already put some down myself so it was not necessary. The next day the town inspector showed up (as promised) and approved the installation and the old tank cleanup. I then emailed them a copy of the permits as they instructed me to speed up the removal of the old tank. One week later they showed up and removed the old tank, also as promised. Overall, it was a very positive experience. They were friendly and professional and met all my expectations. I would recommend their services to anyone who needs this sort of service.

process went very well. very responsive office staff, came as arranged. disconnected tank, prepared for inspection, removed after inspection. would use them again

Allied Services came promptly for an estimate and explained all of our options detail. Received estimates via email right away. All aspects of the project were thoroughly detailed. We decided to get the large underground tank removed and two new smaller tanks installed in the basement. They obtained the permits and coordinated the inspection. Permit fees are not included in the estimate. The work was done in 2 days. First day, new tanks were installed and leftover oil was transferred from the old tank. Second day, the underground tank was removed. Everything was done very timely and professionally. We did have to wait almost 2 months to schedule, but Allied came when they said they would and it was worth the wait.

The workers were very professional... The front office was, however, a disappointment... They refused to honor the Angie's List 5% coupon... Said they have a policy that they should have been told that a coupon was involved before they began to work... This was never mentioned verbally or written on the coupon... I would hesitate to recommend this company for fear of what other front office pricing surprises may await other customers.

These guys were great to deal with. They removed my underground oil tank that was located underneath my front walkway. They removed the walkway, removed the tank and put it all back with care and quality. I can say that my walkway looked better after the job since it was crooked to begin with. They put it back straight!!! I would highly recommend this company to anyone and in fact, I have.

Originally decided to go with Applied Tank Services to remove an underground decommissioned oil tank due to sale of home. Applied was very busy and backed up with work (as a reputable company should be). So we went with a more expensive company that could fit us in. It has been a nightmare so far in terms of getting a response and having them to complete their contractual agreements. We should have stuck with Applied. Scott and Coreen were very helpful, courteous, and informative. It's our mistake for not choosing the better company and it is costing us. In the end we may end up calling them back to finish the other company's work.

Very professional, responsive for doing quote. Explained everything thoroughly. Really wanted to proceed to use this supplier for work, but earliest date was almost 3 months out before could come and do the work. Chose to go with another provider who was also through and could accommodate an earlier date. Would strongly recommend, but be prepared to wait to get work done. The responsiveness was the only place I could reflect how quickly they could actually schedule to do work. It does not reflect responsiveness in arranging a quote, or responding to questions or emails. Very professional. Stood out in comparison to another place in terms of thinking through where it could be placed, and which system to use, etc.

As explained above, it was a long process but done properly and with great care and professionalism for my property.

This was a very stressful situation since my Proguard insurance would only cover this if damage was found on the tank. Also, the tank was located on the edge of my property flanked by my neighbor's driveway and only four feet of pavement next to my house. They had to remove the shrubbery in the front and navigate the heavy steam shovel on a narrow strip and then back out to put the dirt in the dump truck. They accomplished this with no damage to the neighbor's property or my sidewalk. To accomplish this they cut the tank in half while it was in the ground so that it could be removed without damaging the surrounding concrete and asphalt If I want to quibble, the placement of the shrubs in front was a little off, but that's pretty minor. The entire process took place on several different occasions and scheduling with me as well as two insurance companies was excellent. While much of this was covered by insurance, Applied's pricing was closest to the amount that was covered and they did not charge me for the oil transfer or second trip. Other quotes I received had listed charges for this service.

They removed an underground oil tank and replaced it, and also included an external storage tank. They did an excellent job. They were professional, neat, on time and scheduling was easy. All the way around a pleasure dealing with them. They also had the best price of the companies I talked to. A few months later when I needed new oil, they came right out to replaced it and took away the container at no charge.

It went very well. It was fair. My insurance company paid it.

They are very cooperative. They come when they say they're coming and do what they say they'll do. They are so careful. I'm very happy with them.
