I decided to abandon my buried oil tank before it caused problems. I've owned the house for 21 years and it was here well before that. Although I played some telephone tag with the salesman, once we connected, he came to the house,laid out the options , and we scheduled the new tank and abandonment. I opted for a stainless steel tank installed in my boiler room. The guys who did the install were neat, and polite. They did a clean job and were very professional. I spoke with the owner regarding abandoning/escavation-removal options and his information was very helpful in allowing me to make a well informed decision. The price was very competetive, and the service great. I didn't have to be home for the abandonment , done a few days later. They also did a clean job. BTW, they were able to transfer most of the oil fron the old tank to the new one.

Everything went exactly as planned, from estimate to completion all was on time and at disclosed cost. Very professional.
Description of Work: I recently bought a new home with a buried 550 gallon oil tank that was original to the house from the 1950's. Lee took the time to discuss all of the important issues surrounding an old buried tank and ultimately helped me and my family make the right decisions. The time he took and level of assistance was something refreshing in this day and age where customer service seems to come secondary to a sale. We had Windmill abandon and foam fill the old tank and they installed a new 275 gallon above ground tank. They did a great job overall and I would highly recommend them!

We wanted to treat our basement floor so that we'd get less water seeping up through the floor. He came and took his time examining the basement and showed us the product. It was an interlocking plastic squares that would cover the floor and allow the water to dissipate under the tiles. The price for about 700 sq. feet was about $3,800. I asked if he had any customers reviews of the product and he said he didn't. After he left, I looked online and found a distri

They came to do an initial estimate to repair the oil heater. I was unhappy with the prior company and wanted to try this one. They came and looked at it, took my money, and said they couldn't touch it because it was the other company's work. If that was REALLY the case, then there should be a provision for a refund. There is no way you can charge an initial fee if you find out that you can't do any work on it later.

Their price was less than what a lot of the other oil companies were charging me. They specialize in the tank. They were not like oil companies, they just did oil tanks. It was a good experience. The young men who came and installed the tank were very professional. Then not too long after that someone came out to evacuate the oil that was left in the tank. The next day someone came and filled the tank. Everybody was very professional and did a great job. I had no problems with anything.
Description of Work: Windmill Oil Tank Service installed the above-ground oil tank. They cleaned out the underground and filled it with foam.

The price was competitive. So far, so good on the quality. There are no problems. We had to call a few times just to follow up to confirm the appointment.

They were quick, very responsive, very responsible, explained the whole process to me, good clean up afterwards, my yard looked clean afterwards and as ar as the tank, its gone, gone, gone. It was great. I have never done that before so I have nothing to compare it to as far as price and I hope I don't have to use them again but if I had to I would.
Description of Work: I used Windmill Oil Tank Service about two weeks ago to make sure there is no oil in the tank. Without touching anything in my yard they put foam in it, they cap it off, top it off, take off the fill valve and cement it over and I receive a certificate stating that it is abandoned so I can go ahead with my conversions.

I met Richard - apparently the sales manager - at the property. He seemed knowledgeable and amiable and we agreed upon a proposal to install a new oil tank in the basement and abandon the existing in ground tank. We agreed upon a date of Monday, Sep 19 for the work and he wrote the date on the proposal. He suggested I call the office to confirm everything was in order a few days prior. When I called the Wednesday prior from my work phone, the office staff did not immediately seem to know about my job. After some delay, I guess they found it although they wouldn't say so. I was told that the agreed upon date was "not open". I asked how that could be since I had a proposal in my hand, signed by their sales manager, with the date of the work written clearly on it. I had scheduled a day off of work in order to be available during the job. No answer. The lady then said she was going to try to reschedule someone (someone else I assumed that to mean). Later in the day I message was left on my home phone (I guess she didn't want to talk to me at work) saying I needed to call and reschedule. I didn't bother and thus was not surprised when no one showed up on the agreed upon date. I sent a letter to the owner and sales manager stating that I was canceling the agreement and felt their company was unreliable. I heard nothing from them - no explanation, no apology. Will certainly not attempt to do business with this company again.
Description of Work: Proposal was written and accepted to install a 275 gallon oil tank in basement and abandon existing in ground oil tank. Company did not show up on agreed upon date.

They were responsive to my phone call. I had a tank that was severely rusted and was concerned that it may leak. They called back within an hour and provided a quote over the phone followed up by a visit with a salesman. Entire job was discussed as well as scheduling a prompt appointment. The work crew Eric and Chris came early in the morning and professionally installed the tank. All my questions and concerns were addressed. They seem to work well together and installed to my expectations. I did notice a small leak in a valve at the bottom of the tank about an hour after they left. (It was late on a Friday) Eric came back immediately and stayed to finish the job. My overall experience was a positive one.
Description of Work: I had a 275 gal. outside oil tank removed and a new one installed in my basement. All new lines and equipment installed.
