"You added that part to the job after you said not to do it. Also it was not a small hill, it was a straight 'll and down' cliff. A non-walkable cliff. You also said you were very happy and also asked if we could come back to do your mowing."
I had a good Idea of what I wanted and had done some homework but I needed help with some things. They were very forthcoming and helpful, they worked with me through out the whole process. I could not have ask for better. I'm happy with the outcome. My Patio looks great and so do the stoops.
Also, they took great care in making sure my lawn was not torn up.
My girlfriend met with them and said it was a real positive experience.
Firstly, the quote was unprofessional. it was an ALL CAPS informal email.
They finished the work in 2 days which i was happy about, but after seeing the workmanship I have questions of how it was so quick.
The most frustrating part is they said they wanted me happy but they failed and actually made the situation worse. The company said they wanted to make me happy so they gave me a date they would come back. They failed to show up and at the end of the day they said they would come back another day as they couldn't make it. Once again, they waited until the end of the day to say they couldn?t make it. They finally showed up one day but without notice.
After the initial work, I complained so they said they would come back out and do as I had asked (at least partially). I explained on the phone i wanted the cobblestone edging parallel with the edge of the deck. What they had done looked cheap as the cobblestone edging ran into the columns of the deck (looking like i wanted to save money on stone so i would connect the columns.) On the second try they moved the cobblestone edging out from the columns about 2 inches (not parallel with the edge of the deck, another couple feet, which was specifically asked for by us during initial estimate and for the complaint). And to exacerbate the problem they just leveled off the stone bed without putting fabric down and without adding more stone blend. So there's no fabric, less stone blend than the 3" they originally laid so I can see dirt underneath in certain spots. I already have weeds coming through those sections.
They describe in the Angie?s listing they have a guarantee. I?d say they should remove that or have the largest asterisk. Very disappointed as I clearly explained how they could make me happy after the original problem and they failed. There were other promises that were not upheld which makes it a completely negative experience besides the first meeting/estimate that my girlfriend had with them.
"FIRST I WOULD LIKE TO SAY I MET WITH YOUR GIRLFRIEND AND SHE TOLD ME WHAT SHE WANTED DONE. IN MY EMAIL I STATED EXACTLY WHAT WE WERE GOING TO DO FOR WHAT PRICE. YOU EXCEPTED. THEN I WROTE UP A WRITTEN CONTRACT WITH THE DETAILS AGAIN, IN WHICH YOUR GIRLFRIEND SIGNED. I DID THIE WORK. YOU PAYED YOUR BILL. THEN YOU STATED YOU WANTED THE COBBLESTONE MOVED OUTSIDE OF THE CONCRETE FOOTINGS. WHICH I DID OUT OF MY POCKET FOR MATERIALS, ECT. YOU THEN STATED YOUR GIRLFRIEND SAID I WAS TO DO OTHER THINGS. BUT YET IT WAS ALL WRITTEN UP IN TWO DIFFERENT CONTRACTS. THAT YOU BOTH AGREED TO. I HAVE NOT AND WOULD NEVER NOT DO WHAT I AM SUPPOSED TO DO,PERIOD. IN FACT I AM ALWAYS DOING MORE. AND I AM VERY DISPLEASED THAT YOU ARE UNHAPPY, BUT I DID EXACTLY WHAT YOUR GIRLFRIEND AND YOU ASKED. AND YOU WHERE THERE WHEN WE CAME TO REDO THE WORK, AND YET YOU SAID NOTHING OR CAME OVER TO THE WORK AREA. AND MOST CERTAINLY AVOVE ALL ELSE THERE IS NOTHING UNPROFFESSIONAL ABOUT MY WORK, OR IN THE QUALITY OF IT."
