"1) 4/24/23 - DeGain visited our house to inspect our areas of concern and all the brickwork on the house. Note-brickwork was only on the lower part of the house. Our primary concern was the brickwork facing the front porch, which was the area I first pointed out to Degain.. 2) 4/25/23 - Degain mails an invoice. Item 01 of the invoice is for "Repointing Loose Brick An Holes" for $350. Other items were on the invoice, but they are not in dispute. 3) 4/26/23 - I told DeGain to proceed with the work on the invoice. 4) 5/16/23 - Since we were out of town, DeGain texts me to advise me that all the work was completed. 5) 5/16/23 - I voluntarily sent a check to DeGain for the brickwork, power washes, and poly sand, since I would not return home until 5/26/23 and did not want DeGain to wait for compensation for completed work. 6) 5/26/23 - I returned home an inspected the work completed by DeGain and discovered that the brickwork facing on the porch was not completed. 7) 5/16/23- I took a picture of the uncompleted brickwork facing the front porch and asked DeGain to schedule a date to complete the work. 8) 5/31/23 - DeGain texted back an asks if a 7/17/23 would work and I agree with the date. 9) 7/16/23 - Since were out of town again I texted DeGain to verify that Degain was going to complete the work and giving instructions on how to access our outside water. NO RESPONSE FROM DEGAIN. 10) 7/29/23 - We return home and find that the brickwork was still not completed. A text was sent to DeGain to complete the work as soon as possible. NO RESPONSE FROM DEGAIN. 11) 8/4/23 - I asked DeGain of $250 for the unfinished work. NO RESPONSE FROM DEGAIN 12) 8/11/23 - I sent a text to the DeGain and advised him that I have no choice but to refer the matter to Angi's. NO RESPOSE FROM DEGAIN 13) 8/12/23 - I ask Degain if they intend tomrespond. NO RESPONSE FROM DEGAIN. 14) 9/3/23 - I sent DeGain a partial chronology and advise him that ifwe don't settle this issue quickly, then I will take all necessary steps to resolve this issue. 15) 9/3/23 - DeGain finally responds asking why I'm so upset. He also says that the word "porch" was not on the invoice and therefore he had completed the brick work by repairing i the three bricks for $350. 16) I responded to DeGain that a) He visually inspected the brick work on the front porch and agreed that it needed repair, before the invoice was created. b) I did not ask him to work on the cement front porch, which needed no repair. Rather he was to do "Repointing, Loose brick, An Holes the vast majority was on the bricks facing the front porch. c) If DeGain believed that the brick work facing the front porch was not included, then why did Degain agree to complete the work on 7/16/23, based on a picture of the uncompleted work on the bricks facing the front porch. d) If the brick work facing the front porch was not included a price of $350 to replace the three bricks not facing the front porch is totally unreasonable. NO RESPONSE FROM DEGAIN. 9/7/23 - I contacted Angi's to get an understanding of the Appeal process, but did not file a formal complaint to see if I can resolve the issue with DeGain. 9/14/23 - I sent an email to DeGain advising them that I have contacted Angi's and made one final offer to resolve the issue. NO REPSONSE FROM DEGAIN 10/4/23 - Filed formal complaint with Angi's. Please note that I have the following: 1) A summary chronology with key pictures, documents, etc. 2) A detailed chronology which lists every written interaction with Degain, 3)Hard copies of emails, text screen shots, etc. to substantiate almost all elements o he chronologies. Please let me know where to send them if necessary. Please note that the ratings below are for the brickwork that was never completed only."

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.
As you browse our pro listings, take note of the “Angi Approved” badge. Angi Approved businesses meet our standards for certification which include:
The owner, principal, or relevant manager passed a criminal background check
Required to have applicable state and local licenses
Maintain an average star rating of 3.0 or better on our network, if they have at least one review
Paying to advertise their services
Meeting any other eligibility criteria required by Angi
Keep in mind licensing is different from certifications. A license is a legal requirement to operate a business, while certifications are voluntary.
The average cost of playground equipment installation is around $500, and most homeowners pay between $330 and $700, excluding the cost of the playground equipment itself. Your total project cost will depend on site preparation requirements, playset size, design complexity, number of accessories, and the swing set materials. Don’t forget to account for the cost of playground surfacing, which can cost between $15 to $160 per cubic yard or $225 per cubic yard for poured rubber.
The cost to install a basketball hoop can range from $200 to $5,000. This price heavily depends on the type of basketball hoop you choose, as some require equipment and some do not.
For example, you can most likely assemble a portable basketball hoop yourself, with a cost of $150 to $500. However, if you're looking for something more permanent, a roof-mounted hoop requires specialized tools and roof anchors, costing a total of $2,000 to $5,000.
Rubber mulch is widely considered the best material to place under a playset. This material option provides more cushioning than traditional wood mulch for added protection, remains cooler than sand and most other materials in direct sunlight, and it’s low maintenance. Rubber mulch is slightly more expensive than other common options at $120 per cubic yard on average, whereas pine bark mulch is $30 per cubic yard. But when it comes to your children’s safety, the investment is worthwhile. Consult your playground equipment installation company about material recommendations before starting this project.
