Mr. Elliot seemed relatively knowledgeable about materials and overall masonry. We requested a detailed quote of the work to be conducted so there would be no misunderstandings and he provided that along with a 10% discount (his quote was reasonable and he seemed eager to do the work) so we hired him. The entire project was $4,680 (includes 10% discount) so we gave him ½ the money down to start the job ($2,340.) The work involved (wording from our contract): Garden Wall 1)Remove concrete wall around entire front yard while saving the original railings 2)Form entire area around front yard to pour new concrete boarder to match existing size and depth leaving mounting holes for railings 3)Paint concrete boarder to match staircase 4)Clean entire jobsite of all construction debris Total cost of this phase is $2965.00 Stair work 1)Remove all lose brownstone from left and right side of staircase and powerwash 2)Patch all damaged areas using brownstone Mimic with built in bonding agent and paint and repair railings 3)All patchwork to match existing finish and design of original areas 4)Caulk left and right side of stairs where stairs meet sidewalls 5)Re-paint entire staircase matching existing color 6)Remove all lose material on underside of staircase and patch using Palitop p-98 waterproofing concrete coating and paint to match Total cost for this phase is $2236.00 When the work began, we expected a crew to arrive in order to complete the work in a timely fashion (10 days was quoted), but we found that James Elliot was the sole worker. He showed up on the job for 2 hours every third day (it rained a few days, but even on the good days he didn?t show), and by the end of the 10th day, he had removed only the 10? tall wall. When we questioned him on trying to speed up the process by coming more often and staying longer, he said that he would be done with the entire project in a few days. Later that day, he phoned us and stated that he had nearly completed the stair work, had already applied his first coat of Mimic and was now 70% complete with the entire job. This immediately set off alarms in our heads as the stair work, per our agreed upon signed contract involved extensive prep work (Line 1 above) before patching (Line 2 above) and there was also significant work involving refinishing handrails, caulking walkway, refinishing underside of stairs, painting new cement work and removal of all debris that had still yet to be completed and he had not even begun to build the garden wall yet. Our contract was explicit as to how the work was to be performed. Specifically for the stairs, the first line of the contract stated that he would: 1) ?Remove all loose brownstone from left and right side of staircase and powerwash? (powerwashing removes dirt, mold, chipping paint, so the Mimic product will adhere). Pictures and video of the stair work he completed showed that he didn?t remove the loose ?old? concrete and he didn?t powerwash before beginning the restoration. Note: Seasoned masons have seen his partially completed work and stated that the applied cement would not adhere to the loose concrete, dirt, mold and painted surfaces. All loose materials must be removed and the surface thoroughly cleaned. When asked specifically why he didn?t powerwash before adding the new Mimic, James Elliot stated that the powerwashing would happen at a later time (which didn?t make any sense to us and certainly not what we agreed to). The next line of the contract stated (see above): 2) ?Patch all damaged areas using brownstone Mimic with built in bonding agent and paint and repair railings?. Mr. Elliot stated that Mimic was the only product that should be used to repair Brownstone. We quickly found out from the seasoned masons that the material that Mr. Elliot used for the restoration of the stairs was not Mimic at all, but rather, Conpro Set cement, which is used for concrete repairs (there were empty bags of this under the stairs). The difference in price between these two is substantial with Mimic being approximately ten times the cost of the Conpro Set and the color of mimic is easily identifiable. We specifically chose James Elliot as a contractor due to the detailed repair work he was to conduct and his use of the superior Mimic product he stated that he would use. He, however, did not abide to the signed contract and we felt that if any changes were to be made to the work plan, they should have been immediately communicated before commencing the work. When we questioned him on this in person, James became entirely livid, physically aggressive and stating that we had no right to inspect his work. He stated that we had a contract and we should trust his judgment. Needless to say, we terminated his efforts and asked that he return the appropriate portion of the deposit money (seeing as he had only taken down the garden wall, which was estimated at approx 20% of the entire project), but he refused and stated that he had completed 70% of the entire job and that we owed him additional money. He also accused us of confiscating his tools, which have been sitting under the front stairs where he put them (unlocked) and for him to take, but he has not come, not responded and kept our money. Here is an excerpt from an email he wrote: ?Ill advise you of one thing I will be there with a police escort to retrieve my tools and as far as the stairs being used or even touched was a violation on both parts according to my insurance company no one is permitted in work zones meaning no one should have been on those stairs or used the yard until the project was complete and the contract is not divided into two prices its a lump sum price with the wall using the most time labor and material,as far as changes in the contract it states that contractor can make changes to better the job without approval from anyone as long as its in the best interest of the project so please don't shot off what my contract says to me I wrote it but I will be there either tomorrow or the following day with two patrolman I'm just waiting for two officers to be free to retrieve my property so when the area station notify's me I will be there with them. Any other questions can be forwarded to my attorney from here on in I will give you his business card when I retrieve my property? Above, James references his contract stating that he was allowed to make changes to ?better the job without approval from anyone as long as it?s in the best interest of the project?. In actuality the contract we signed stated the contractor can make: ?minor changes in the work which are in the interest of the owner, do not materially alter the quality or performance of the work? Contractor will inform the owner of each minor change in the work.? Using inferior materials and not adequately preparing the work surface prior to applying the concrete is hardly in the best interest of the project and we were never informed of either change.

Modesto and crew turned a dirt filled backyard, into a wonderful area to relax and enjoy the day. Our day to day communication made the project Go smoothly without any delays. Great job guys !!
They did not complete the job because they said the work was too hard and the guys were too "gentle" (quote from owner). The work was not hard or "impossible" as the owner insisted, in fact I was able to complete the rest of the work in four hours and I am a 5 ft 2 woman! The experience was...

FAQs for dirt hauling projects in Roslindale, MA
The kinds of items or materials accepted will vary by hauling company. Some companies will not handle hazardous waste, but hiring ones that do will cost from $5 to $100 or more, depending on what type and quantity of material.
Most companies will haul items such as:
Construction and remodeling waste: $100–$600
Appliances: $50–$600
Furniture: $50–$400
Electronics: $60–$200
Yard waste: $70–$500
Unfortunately, some plumbing scenarios, like a broken sewer pipe repair, will require excavation to complete the job. Plumbing excavation costs range from $30 to $70per cubic foot. However, if you need additional trenching, expect to pay an extra $4 to $12per linear foot. Keep in mind that these costs are on top of the plumbing repair costs, and they don’t account for labor costs. Consult your excavation specialist to determine an accurate estimate for your job.
The cost to hire a professional junk hauling service ranges from $60 to $600, averaging about $270. Your final price is determined by the type of junk, amount of junk, the distance to the dumpsite, and the equipment required to move and haul your items or materials. Keep in mind that construction junk removal is more expensive than hauling household items, so expect to pay $800 for removing large piles of debris.
The average cost for pool excavation is $2,500. This cost can range from $450 to $4,500, depending on the pool shape and size, time of year, and any need to move buried utilities.
When excavating for your pool, you might have to move existing utilities. You can expect to pay an additional $15 to $25per linear foot to move gas lines. To move a septic system, it’ll cost an additional $2,000 to $20,000. A pool that is 10 feet by 12 feet averages $450 to excavate, and a 20-foot-by-40-foot pool averages $3,020.
The cost for residential excavation is $3,200 on average, ranging between $50 and $200per cubic yard. Total costs could range from $500 to $15,000, depending on the project type, yard size, and soil type.
When a project needs an excavator, the contractor will subcontract one as part of the larger project. If you hire an excavation specialist, you can expect to pay between $40 and $180per hour. When excavating, if you have soil with excessive rocks or clay deposits, expect an additional cost of $200 to $1,200.
