After the job was finished, we started noticing a white powdery looking substance forming along all of the cracks in the patio after a good rain, and when the concrete would dry. Apparently, he did not make me aware that, because there was no moisture barrier under the concrete (something he did not bring up or ask me about beforehand), the water would bleed through and permanently stain the concrete with a white powdery look that would come up through the cracks. I tried numerous substances to try to get it up and it will not come out. When he applied the final sealer, he left brush marks all over it, which also do not come out. When I asked him to consider removing the sealer, and reapplying it, or even leaving it off, he got extremely defensive and unprofessional. Essentially, he quickly became irritated and assumed that I was not going to pay him for his poor work, something I never even suggested, and he immediately came out with "I see where this is going, I'll just lein ya!". When I told him that I had no intentions of not paying him but would like to discuss possible solutions to fix the final product, he just walked away and would not accept the check that I was hastily trying to write out because I certainly did not want a lein on my property. When he was acting like he would not accept my check (and would rather cause me a big hassel by putting a lein on my property) I told him not to leave until I finished writing it or I would just mail it, he then said, "you don't even know my address" (and he smiled at this). Which was true because his invoice did not list out an address. However, I knew that I could easily get an address through the tax office in Lake Charles. In the beginning, he did a good job selling us on his work, even telling us of a couple of businesses that used him and that we could go to and see the floors. Unfortunately, we made a very bad decision by relying on him to advise us about potential problems before he started, then he would not problem solve with us to improve the results. I do not recommend this individual. He was extremely unprofessional.

He was flexible in accomodating my color changes. It has been amazing to watch Rick work. He is meticulous in his painting, using mostly rollers and brushes. This was a big job. The quality of his work and his attention to detail are very impressive. He also accomplished a few inside projects for me, including two touch of jobs.

He told me what he planned to do and what colors he would be using, explained the value of keeping things neutral and made very helpful suggestions. Mario came to work with a crew of over 20 painters and all workers were on time. What I estimated to take between 1 to 2 weeks took all of 2 1/2 days. Obviously, Mario had the work extremely well supervised. Workers worked 11 hours on both days, started at 8 AM and finished around 7PM. At no time were any of his painters getting in each others way. All the workers were well trained as the same processes were followed on every wall. Their attention to detail was outstanding! Site preparation was impressive. Before any painting was started, a clear plastic sheathing was put down on my hardwood floors and taped down. Then the drop clothes were placed on top of the clear plastic and covered all the hardwood floors. Drop clothes were utilized throughout the entire painting operations. Furniture that could not be moved to a different room was moved to the center of the that room and protected with the plastic sheathing. As I was replacing the rugs anyway, rugs around baseboards were cut out so that the entire baseboard could be painted and not just to the top of the run. Again, great attention to detail. Old caulk was removed and replaced; nail pops and house settling cracks were fixed with contractor spackle and walls were put back in original condition. All wallpaper was removed and I had a lot. Walls that had ANY imperfections were fixed to include holes I made to hang pictures, those were filled in and painted. All doors, even closet doors, were removed and painted. Anything that could be removed from the walls was removed and not just light switch plates but the light fixtures themselves. Air registers/deflectors in ceilings were removed and painted with spray acrylic. My townhouse windows had wood framing that went inside the window those all were removed and painted. Lastly, I was provided with touch up paint.
Not only was Mario on-site to supervise, he also picked up a paint brush to expedite and compete the job. In my many years of using contractors, this was the BEST contractor I ever hired. Work was comprehensive and complete with no short cuts taken. His workers were polite and courteous even when they stopped their work to let me through. I would hire Solutions Painting Inc. again in a minute."},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/va/annandale/solution-painting-inc-reviews-354519.htm"},"position":9},{"@type":"ListItem","item":{"@type":"LocalBusiness","name":"Buckeye House Painting","address":{"@type":"PostalAddress","addressRegion":"FL","addressCountry":"US"},"review":{"@type":"Review","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Frank M."},"reviewBody":"Their estimate was fair.

The company I chose to go with was much cheaper and would do the same work without powerwashing.

FAQs for brush chipping projects in Ocklawaha, FL
Topsoil costs from $12 to $55 per cubic yard, depending on the type you choose. For example, screened black dirt will cost about $15 per cubic yard. Loam (soil composed of sand, silt, and clay) costs about $17 per cubic yard. Standard screened topsoil costs about $20 per cubic yard. The type of topsoil you need depends on your landscaping plans.
Landscapers typically charge $25 to $50 per person per hour, which equals around $50 to $100 per hour for a two-person crew. These rates can vary depending on your location, the size of staff needed for the job, and overall job type. For example, a larger crew will be needed for structural additions and hardscaping versus planting flowers.
When it comes to landscapers, licensing laws vary. Landscaping architects are required to be licensed in all 50 states, whereas traditional landscaping contractors are not typically required to hold a certification. You’ll likely be working with a landscaping contractor for most residential projects. If you are redesigning your whole yard or adding in hardscape features, you will work with a landscaping architect at some point during the project. Be sure to check our state licensing tool to review the local landscaper guidelines.

Mulch costs anywhere from $30 to $150 per cubic yard, depending on the type you choose. On the inexpensive end, red and black mulch are about $35 to $40 per cubic yard, and are typically made from recycled waste wood like shredded old pallets or deck material. Cedar, cypress, and rubber mulch cost anywhere from $100 to $120 per cubic yard. A pro can help you determine the type of mulch most suitable for your landscaping needs.
Yes, you will want to confirm that the tree removal company you hire is insured before proceeding with the job. Tree removal can be dangerous work, and it's important to verify that the company carries the proper insurance to cover any onsite accidents or damage.
