My wife and I decided that while we were at it, it might be a good idea to lower the ceiling on that side of the shop in order to provide more storage place. As stated above, I had hired an individual to come in and do the work. In retrospect, I believe the young man had overstepped his limitations and began to realize it once the work got started. At any rate, my shop in total disarray, the ceiling torn out of it, a corner of the wall knocked out, all of the desks covered with draping material, dust and building materials scattered every where and this guy goes on a 3 or 4 day fishing trip he had previously planned with friends of his. Needless to say I was livid. I could do no work in my shop and had customers expecting their equipment back. Nor could I entertain the notion of accepting any further work until this was completed. Upon hearing of, and then calling Jonathan, he came over and inspected the shop, asked a few questions regarding my original plans for the place and pointed out a couple of features he could build in that I had not originally contemplated. He gave me a bid and began the work the following day. The work he did for me was began on Saturday morning. By opening time Monday the work was completed and my shop was ready to accept business. Jonathan lowered the ceiling as was planned, finished out the corner that had been knocked out in order to reclaim the space for my shop, he built a sizable trap door into the ceiling for access, cleaned up all the mess and finished it out such that unless one had seen it previously there was no way to tell the work had been done at all. The thing that impressed me most regarding his work -outside of his carpentry skills- was the manner in which he made sure that he in fact had the same finished picture of the work that I did. Competency alone was a trait I found out the hard way was not a thing to take for granted. Honesty and attitude mean everything. From that day on, JC's Carpentry has been my "go to" source for anything related to changes within the structure of my home. With Jonathan, I know the job will be done correctly and efficiently and at a fair price. Furthermore I don't even have to be around when the repairs are being done. He is an honest man and a short time with him bears that out.

Completely overwhelmed, I contacted many contractors, groundskeepers, cleaning services, etc.
I found GrassHopper on Angie's list and based on the reviews I gave them a call My first impression was that they were fast, professional, reliable and did a thorough job. They weren't the least expensive bid but they were professional and did a good job. . They are very honest - anytime they found jewelry, money, etc., in odd places - it was returned to me. The staff that helped me clean the house was friendly and kind. The landscaping was transformative and beautiful.
I think I will run out of room if I list every single thing they have done to restore these properties. Moving, sorting, landscaping, irrigation - building a patio out of found flagstone and river rock, re-sodding the entire yard with St. Augustine, making use of existing materials to keep costs down.
UPDATE: 10/2/14 - On the downside, tonight I received a bill for $60 for re-programming the irrigation system, which I never asked them to do. I can easily handle that on my own (and it is not a $60 job). The main problem is that their e-mail billing system is consistently buggy, and they will not take responsiblity for it. I once received a bill for a routine lawncut and six hours later received a warning letter that I was late in paying that bill. Somehow, this was my fault. I've received invoices that were not attached or a blank page as though the wrong side was scanned. When I asked that it to be re-sent or mailed, again somehow they said this was my error. I also received an e-mail saying "we're sorry you've decided to terminate your business" when I 'd done no such thing. Again, this was explained that it was somehow my fault. On whole, these are small complaints but they are patronizing and irritating.
Overall they're a good company. If they could get the office end straight and stop insinuiating their customers are too stupid to work a computer, they'd be perfect."},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/la/alexandria/grass-hopper-lawns-%28alexandrialafayette%29-reviews-7406898.htm"},"position":3},{"@type":"ListItem","item":{"@type":"LocalBusiness","name":"Cabinet Construction & Remodeling","address":{"@type":"PostalAddress","addressRegion":"LA","addressCountry":"US"},"review":{"@type":"Review","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"JR S."},"reviewBody":"Designed the \"new\" home.

FAQs for treehouse building projects in Alexandria, LA
The average cost to hire a handyman ranges from about $40 to $140 per hour. Average project cost ranges between $180 and $700, but the cost per hour and per project depends heavily on the type, size, and complexity of the project. The pro’s experience level and your location also factor into how much a handyman charges per hour or per project. You can also expect to pay higher rates or additional fees for emergency services, or around periods of high customer demand, like holidays.
One starting point to find a local home builder is to collect suggestions from friends and neighbors. However, it’s still wise to do some more research before you hire a builder. Read reviews to supplement any word-of-mouth recommendations. Check sources like Angi that have standards and criteria in place to screen the pros it lists can also help you find more reputable local home builders.
Typically, it’s more affordable to buy an existing home than it is to build a new one. New construction loan interest rates tend to be higher than interest rates for traditional mortgages. Additionally, the cost of materials is likely higher when building a new home than it was when an existing home was built (unless it’s a very new one). You’re also paying for all new appliances, finishes, permits, inspections, and connections for water, gas, and electricity.
Knowing if you need an architect for your project can be tricky, especially if you've never worked with one before. In general, small remodeling projects like replacing fixtures typically don't require the expertise of an architect. However, larger projects, like moving walls or adding an addition to your home, should include an architect to ensure the project is structurally sound.
The cost to build a detached garage for two cars costs about $26,400 on average. Prices range from $19,200 to $33,600, depending on your location, the garage size, height, materials, and site prep required. Additional cost factors include any plumbing, electrical wiring, and insulation. If you need to build a concrete foundation for a new detached garage, you can expect to pay $1,000 to $8,600 for this essential addition.
