Get matched with top sandblasting pros in Opa Locka, FL

"Contractor came to the house to estimate without requiring us to be there (which seemed like a convenient thing to do). Had trouble subsequently connecting on the phone to discuss the estimate (for some reason they would not leave a message that they called, rather they would hang up and call back again). When contractor finally did leave a message, the estimate was very high (over twice the lowest estimate we got), and I was encouraged to call back and negotiate the price. Who has time for games like that?"

The service was for Power Washing: Roof, house, patio, screen enclosure and driveway (2 car garage).

To be honest, I was a little apprehensive to use A&E, because of some of the negatives I read on Angie?s List about not showing up, etc.?  In my case, Ed showed up on or before scheduled.

The initial estimate given was $300 for all. However, upon Ed?s (serviceman) review, he quickly added an additional $25, because he said I had a circular driveway and that I had said it was a two car garage. Well, it is a two car garage, and I was not asked if I had a circular driveway (albeit small).

Ed, started on the roof on Wednesday and found that the roof paint was coming off when washing. He notified me, and wanted me to approve results before continuing.  After looking at the results, I gave the OK the next day (Thursday), and he rescheduled me for that Saturday morning.

On Saturday, he did the roof, screen enclosure, patio and started on the house.

He had done all sides of the house, except for the front side, garage and driveway, before stating that he had lost a chemical injector/adapter and could not finish and would return the next day (Sunday) to finish the job.

He returned on Sunday morning and was able to finish the job.

Note: Upon finishing, he informed me that it will be $350.00. I quickly reminded him that we had agreed upon $300 and that he had added $25 for the driveway. He said it was a big job.  I told him that I usually get it done under $300. I paid him as agreed: $325.00

Results: Except for some areas where he stated that he could not do anything about, and a couple of small areas around the house and screen enclosure, the overall job was good.

Conclusion: Ed works fast and it took him (1 person) approximately 3.5 to 4 hours to do the job. The results where good. The price a little high and I found other reviews stating the he does find a way to try to increase the initial estimate. In Ed?s defense, they all do that.

Summary: I asked a few power washing companies for estimates. Some companies listed on Angie?s List gave me estimates of $650 to $800. Another company: ?All About Pressure Cleaning? wanted $1,400.00 to do the same job. Yet, another company ?Pro Image? Jerry Cardinale, had been scheduling me on and off since the beginning of the year, only to cancel me for another bigger job. Stating that my roof was painted?

All in all, A&E did a good job at a fair price, and was always on time, courteous and professional.

Would I use A&E again: YES

Do I recommend A&E: YES

"Fred was over last week to take measurements.An estimate was promptly emailed. The estimate seemed fair for the work. On Monday he was here to pressure clean the driveway and patios. Today Wednesday he was over to apply sealer to all surfaces. I have a stamped concrete driveway which was looking dirty and faded. After the first coat of sealer it looked much better.In all 2 coats were applied.The driveway absorbed everything quickly, after 10 years of no sealer. When I mentioned to Fred,without hesitation he started putting down a 3rd coat although the deal was for 2. The comment was "the customer should be happy". Without hesitation I would use his services again.As an aside he was on time which is unheard of in S. FL. Ten Stars!"

"Call provider scheduled for the same day to come out and do a full detail of my car while the vehicle was in the parking lot of my business.  They came right out, did an A+ job and will use them in the future.  I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a awesome mobile car cleaning company.

"They treated me like family. I couldn't be happier with the results. Everyone who has seen their work in my building wants their number to use their services. Boris, the owner, and especially his workers with over a decade of experience, get 5 stars for customer service, professionalism, and an amazing job. Well done guys! Thank you!"

"We have used their services twice and we have been very satisfied with them."

"I hired the company originally when it was under a different ownership - it was 4Eva Pool. Then it was bought out and became SoFlo. The guys leave stuff like empty chlorine bottles by the pool, leave dirty drag marks on the patio from equipment, don't really clean the pool all that good ( I found grass floating after the supposed service). Once something wasn't closed correctly and it caused my pool to lose about 10 inches of water in 2 days and got everything wet around the equipment because the water was shooting out. In any case - would not recommend this company. They sound nice and probably mean well, but can't handle basic tasks."

"Good service and very professional"

"She involved my husband and I in the process as much as we wished, and invited us to go with her to a nursery to see what we loved. Whitnie knows her South Florida plants (and her butterflies), and she also knows all the best nurseries. We also really appreciated her willingness to work with the plants we already had in our garden. She made the extra effort to find new plants that were complimentary to the existing. What we ended up with was a gorgeous, curated garden, full of rare and beautiful plants - and we can’t look out into our garden without seeing butterflies. Thank you Whitnie for all the extra love and care you put into our little slice of paradise."

"It was excellent. Their service was professional and efficient."
