Ryan and his crew took care of my repairs, under warranty, without issue. The team goes up and beyond to care for their customers.

I recently had my oil boiler and tank removed and replaced with a new electric boiler, along with a new hot water tank, all done through Ryan. A few years ago I switched my heating over to a heat pump, and the only thing left was replacing the old boiler that remained — thanks to Ryan, that's now completely taken care of. Ryan is extremely conscientious, everything is well organized, and his cleanup afterward is the neatest and most thorough I've ever seen. (He also has the most well-equipped and perfectly organized work van I've ever seen.) He's the kind of person you can hand any job to and trust it'll be done cleanly. Watching how he works, I think anyone would come away with confidence in him. (I was genuinely impressed watching him tidy up his workspace the moment he arrived.) With a lot of bigger companies, the person who gives the quote and the person who actually does the work are often different, so you never really know who's going to show up — and the finishing work often ends up less than clean because of that. The reason I chose Backman was that the owner himself comes and does the work, which felt trustworthy. I don't usually leave reviews this long, but he really seems like someone I could recommend to anyone without worry. Writing this honestly. Don't overthink it — you can just trust him with the job.

Ryan and Brayden were a pleasure to deal with. Showed up on time, very neat and tidy cleaned up afterwards. Took the time to explain how the new equipment works. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Backman to anyone in need of this type of installation , service or repair.
