JB & Sons came out within a couple of hours of my enquiry. The work was completed within a couple of days. Excellent service. Highly recommended.
I advise to look elsewhere for lead sources. You will have a very hard time getting credits for bad leads and 90% of the leads are BAD.

I was looking for a male counselor/therapist preferably. BARK came across my search. I had never heard of BARK. I connected with Steven Herbert and liked his energy immediately! We hired him to help through some marital issues and to enhance our communication skills. He has been awesome! His Spirit is very gentle. He has a lot of wisdom, he is wise and inspirational. He gets right to the heart of the issues at hand, so with that, there's not a lot of wasted time. He has great suggestions, ideas and advice to work with. He has helped us tremendously! If you are willing to do the work, I would highly recommend him.

Dardan prepared amazing dinner party for us. Turned up on time with all equipment and prepared food. Everything was served as discussed on time again and the food was so delicious and so beautifully presented again on Dardan's plates. Not only he cleaned everything in the kitchen but also prepared for me cheese board and helped me to serve the dinner. He definitely went extra mile with his service!

Used a 'company' who trades under the name of Brandon Tree Felling for stump removal on BARK. Also trades under the name of Josiah Privilege Craig Masters, has a company registration number CK2005/*******/23 at
20 Main road Randburg. CK registration allocated to another company in KZN. Uses the name Brandon but is a Allen Dumisani Ncube from Zimbabwe with an SA ID. Do not use this person. He is far from professional and will not honour his obligations. Would not give him even one star.
Hi there Robert,
We're very sorry to hear that you had this experience with a professional found on our website.
We did reach out to you directly however you did not respond to us.
We have no direct relationship with the professionals who use the platform to market themselves as we work similarly to a Yellow Pages.
As such we would advise that you leave this professional a review directly.
Kind regards,
