"Great job would use again"

"On time; great job; reasonably priced"

"The contractor, Mateo, came for the initial meeting, but when it came time to work, he was rarely on site - only stopping by briefly to drop off materials to the two workers that he left there. The workers were very nice, and were trying hard to do a good job, but they had limited tools to accomplish the work and the skill level of the brick work was obviously a problem for the mason doing it - he struggled on all of the work that required more than just laying a straight and level row of bricks. The fact that neither of the men left on the site speak any functional English, and we speak barely functional Spanish, left communications on the details and problems on the brick work a significant issue. Calls to Mateo to help would result in a very short visit to instruct the masons on what to do - and then he would quickly leave again, leaving the work to 'get done' by the same guys who had struggled with it rather than having someone with more adequate skills to do the job. The men were left for long periods of time on the job, a few times through torrential rain showers that came while they continued to try to apply stucco and mortar while the rain came down. This resulted in issues that greatly affected the quality of the work: newly applied mortar washed and ran down over also newly applied stucco - causing discoloration to run down, stucco was stopped mid-wall and when the work resumed the color of the new section did not match at all. The lack of experience in the masons to make the column tops from brick was a problem, exacerbated by the fact that they were not provided the proper tools or block to do the job. They did not have a square to check the shape of what they were doing - so it was crooked on every side, they did not have solid blocks - so they tried to use blocks with holes in them - resulting in an eyesore. One of the columns was meant to support a light post in a hole in the center but the bricks were not laid correctly and the post was concreted in off-center. When Mateo was contacted regarding the issues that continued to get worse instead of better, he said that he would 'fix the problems himself'. He showed up at the home of the senior citizen homeowners for about 30 minutes again, and used a bag of straight concrete color (orange) diluted with water and sponged it over the largest wall - the result was horrible. At that time he also took a sledge hammer to the bricks that topped the columns to 'redo' those, but just partially broke the blocks up and actually broke one of the columns, before heading on his way again - but not before collecting a check from the homeowners for the price in full of the COMPLETED JOB. The site was left like this for several days. Mateo was unresponsive to questions about how he was going to properly fix the problems. When he finally showed up to do the work, he was complaining that he didn't know why anyone was questioning his work ethic or that he would show up to correct the job. He was condescending and confrontational to me when asked how he planned to make the correction on the color - telling me to 'watch and learn from the expert'. This resulted in a terse exchange before he said that he would be using a concrete wash over the orange to correct the color. He did this and it did result in a color closer to the original buff color that was ruined by the rain-wet mortar. The homeowner himself chiseled the rest of the brick from the top of the columns, and Mateo did eventually come to finish the columns with some landscape pavers that the homeowner had suggested from Home Depot since Mateo would not get the solid pavers that actually matched the bricks that he used for the rest of the job. The homeowner settled for this as an 'at least adequate' solution to the problem. Mateo again complained that he didn't understand why anyone would think that he was not going to correct or complete the job, and expressed his displeasure to the homeowners. As of the date of this review, he has been messaged a few times about repairing the stucco on the column and cutting a hole for the lightpost in the proper spot - through the 'pavers' that now top the column. He responded that he would be out to fix them - tomorrow - which never seems to happen. I know that he has a few jobs going on at the same time, and I hope that the work is better on those sites - I also wish that we would have gotten quality work so that we could have used the company more, but at this point I would not use them again nor refer them to anyone other than a professional who can stand there and watch every misstep to keep this from happening to another client."

"Very professional young men. Communicated very well through the whole project. quality work and thorough clean up the work was done. When I have more work done in the future, these will be my guys. I have also hired them to do some other work since, 2 trees and stumps removed. Same experience, on time, professional, quality work, transparent communication and thorough clean up. When they reached out and ask if I would go on Angi to leave a review I was more than happy too do so, these are good people doing good work!"

"Prompley sent someone to measure and show me samples of vinyl flooring. After getting an estimate and signing a contract we set a date for installation. The installers arrived on time and did a good job."

"Larry’s Grading Solutions did an exceptional job clearing my woods. The work was meticulous and detailed. The price was most competitive. Larry and his crew are some of the kindest people you’ll ever meet."

"It was excellent.  I called Mr. Will Smith and asked if he could come out and look at my kitchens and told him what I needed.  He said he could come and gave me a date. (It was within five days).  He gave me a date on when he would come and  proformed the work .  He was there on the date and did the inside.  Because I had a tin roof he was not able to do the chimnsey since it rain.  He was able to finish up shortly after.
This is not my current resident but an additionall property on Chrissy Drive, Pinson, AL which I am putting it up for sell. "

"We got off to a rough start. He said he’d meet me but then sent his girlfriend on several occasions. She was nice and helpful, but I was expecting to meet up with Larry. I finally bought all materials and roofing myself, to avoid hassles. Larry met me with his trailer at the home improvement store, and again at the roofing store. I paid him for labor only, upon completion....in the amount of $3,000. This was for replacing a section of exterior wall, replacing a small section of sub-flooring with plywood, painting the exterior of the building, 16x20, painting the door, and putting on a new roof. An old deck was taken apart and put back on, as well. I’m pleased with the roof and painting of the exterior walls and door. He had to come back and replace a section of wood. He wanted to use wood putty but it was a large area and needed to be replaced with wood, so he replaced it with wood as I requested, and I will soon paint it myself. The deck could look better but since old wood was used, maybe it will look better after I paint it. Using old wood was my choice to save money since the wood was still good. Larry did help me to save money on this storage building. The problems that occurred weren’t so much due to the quality of work, as they were about several other issues and follow through: 1. Being on job site on the days promised, 2. Meeting me when he promised, instead of sending someone else after knowing I was on my way. I’m an hour away. 3. Not being tactful to me or showing professionalism to me as his customer (his bread and butter). Businesses teach the customer is always right. He threw a receipt at me that I didn’t need...and spoke down to me harshly. His texts have been very ugly many times. 4. Serious cursing...MF...and often, every few words, I was told. 5.My neighbor was not happy with some issues that occurred on his property during this time, but Larry says he isn’t responsible and doesn’t know if his workers are responsible or not as Larry wasn’t always there. Larry does not want to do anymore work for me and said he put up dealing with my **** for months and for me not to call him anymore. Therefore, I will not call him anymore. I’m a patient person and hoped to find a handyman I could call on through the years for various projects, but I haven’t found him yet. I found Larry through Home Advisor which is a name I have used and I trust, but he is no longer with them. Larry thinks I don’t like the job they did, but the repair is fine, the painting is fine, the roof looks fine I think, though the wood that hangs over on the corners may have needed replacing...I’m an older woman and don’t know about these things, and the deck isn’t pretty but seems to be sturdy...made from older wood I had."

"Mr. Adam Farley who is the Field Claims Manager for Ageless came to our door inquiring about the  wind and hail damage that he saw on our roof. My wife, who never goes to the door for strangers, invited Adam in to speak with us about this.
 We knew we had trouble with our roof since we had been dealing with persistent problems over several years.  In our attempts to find a solution for our roof issues, we had five different roofing companies do " work " for us.  Needless to say, our roof still leaked and our ceiling  and walls became an even greater frustration.
Adam did an extensive look see and contacted his manager and company owner, Paul Krugman.  Paul and Adam scoured the roof, discussed in great detail the complexity of our issues and what it would take to permanently fix the problem.  We immediately felt we were working with experts who took their job seriously.  We contacted our insurance co., made the claim and waited for the dreaded adjustor.  Paul and Adam were both present and on the roof with the adjustor for over an hour.  The end result was that the insurance company paid for all the work, a new roof and extensive inside repair.  Even the insurance co. recognized they were dealing with roofing experts with a sound plan for addressing a long standing problem.
The roofing crew was incredible.  Our foreman was Santos and he was on our roof all day, every day with his men.  They were highly organized and efficient.  More than that, they had a smile and a greeting even for our curious ten year old grandson.
We had such a sense of confidence in Paul and this company, we wanted his interior crew to complete our inside walls and ceiling.  Once again, Ageless, to the rescue.  Believe it or not, a crew tearing out walls and ceiling can be a pleasant experience! Ed is the true craftsman and the end result is awesome!
'Hard to believe  the level of confidence that Paul, Adam, Santos and Ed. and the entire Ageless staff have given us during this construction process.  Just can't say enough good things about this company!!
