From start to finish, an excellent experience. Shane was very knowledgeable it the work we needed and pointed out what could and couldn't be done to meet code with the initial visit. As they had jobs before us, they were up front it would be several weeks out and we could potentially be fit in depending on their other jobs and weather. As it worked out, because of the weather, our job was able to get started much sooner than I expected. The crew came out and were very professional and steadily worked. And you can tell they work well together. At one point, one of them called for us to come and look at a small stress fracture in the concrete that happened while they were putting in a post. Hey, it happens. They were prepared for it and fixed it with filler they had with them. They could have very easily said nothing and we wouldn't have even known as the fix isn't even noticeable. Once complete, we were very happy with the end result. Very detailed and clean. And the crew left without a trace of any debris left behind. On top of this company staying in contact with us and the crew doing an excellent job, the price for the work was very fair. You can tell they take pride in their work and treat their customers with respect. We have a couple other jobs we would like to have done with our yard in the near future and I will definitely be calling these folks back out when that time comes. I just have that gut feeling they know what they are taling about and don't play any games.

I reached out to get a quote for replacing our deck. Despite the hours on here being listed as 7:00am-7:00pm during the week and 8:00am-3:00pm on weekends, he said they only do quotes 8:00am-5:00pm, Monday-Friday. This makes no sense as it would require anyone with regular job hours to take time off work just to get a quote, which is absurd. We decided to not go ahead with them, because if it's that difficult to arrange a mutually convenient time for just a quote, I have my concerns that they would be difficult to work with on our project, as well.

"Hi [Member Name Removed], I’m not sure why one of representatives communicated those types of hours with you. He couldn’t be more wrong. I will be dealing with this situation. Sincerely, Jeff"

Not good. He told us one price and then when he gave us the bid it was $1,000 higher. He told us it would be $2,200 with our bricks then he said it was 3,200 a week and a half later with our bricks Refuse to use them after that. Change the prices bad business.
Response from A Handyman & A Greenthumb
"It sounds to me that you may have gotten a ball park price during the meeting, but after he got back and put all of his thoughts together and submitted the actual estimate. It was higher. It’s one thing not to hire someone, because you don’t want to spend the money, but to give them a less than satisfactory report because it’s not within your budget is not reasonable. We wish you the best of luck finding a qualified contractor to do the work that fits your budget."

Jeff and his crew were great. They crew seemed to know exactly what to do and and each individual seemed knowledgeable. Jeff is very skilled and has the ability to see each individual situation and have solutions instantly. The crew installed some surface drains to catch my uphill neighbors drainage and he placed them perfectly to collect the water. They also improved grading around the perimeter of the home. They then excavated a large area of the backyard and poured a stamped concrete patio that also strategically carries water away from the home. They did a great job protecting the yard while using machines to carry dirt, gravel, and concrete and cleaned up after themselves. Great job communicating and helping us figure out what we wanted/needed. The best part is it was even cheaper than his original bid which I was totally happy to pay. We thought it would be much more. We are lucky to have found these guys.

Please correct last name: WARD Am happy with final work. The following is worth mentioning. Workers did not pick up multiple screws that fell from previous pergola during replacement. Found screws hanging between deck boards. Paper (purchase receipt?) not removed from one pergola beam can only be reached by ladder.
Response from A Handyman & A Greenthumb
"Thank you [Member Name Removed]. This is the first we heard about the screws and the shipping label on the beam. We will come out and remove this week."

On May 1 I received a quote for concrete work and retaining wall. I informed Shane that i only wish to do the concrete work. He informed me that he would resubmit the quote. That is the last time i herd from Shane. It is now May 28.
Response from A Handyman & A Greenthumb
"Were sorry you felt the need to give us an F. We’re extremely busy and try to stay on top of all the business, but we are humans and sometimes things slip through the cracks. A simple email or phone call to follow up on this matter could of easily been done to ensure that the estimate was sent. At times, we send estimates to folks and and they end up in junk folders or the internet server may be down and don’t even get sent ,without us even knowing. I think communication is important on every level, and we strive to do our best and will continue to work towards being better with communication and customer service for all of our customers and non customers alike."

They did a great job on the concrete patio and drainage installing I had hired them to do. Timely service, well communicated, and competitively priced. Their team did a great job of providing a good look to the patio as well without the need of colored concrete or stamping. Minimal disruption to the grass around where project was undertaken and they were very clean in their work. Highly recommend the drainage installation for anyone who is having water sit/forming around the foundation of their house as ground settles. VERY PROFESSIONAL.

He provided an estimate to within a couple days. The amount on the estimate, which does include the dimensions did seem inordinately low compared to other bids I have received.

Jeff and his crew always exceeds our expectations. Often we have an idea of what we want but don't know exactly how to design or even start the project. I described a flowerbed to Jeff that I envisioned my wife being able to walk up to from a concrete driveway and plant some flowers in without having to bend over. He designed and created a 55' long 4' deep retaining wall with a four tiered planting area that she can access by walking across a newly poured concrete driveway complete with two drains so the water will not puddle. The driveway connected two other sidewalks to complete the area beautifully. My wife can easily access the planting beds without bending over as she walks up the driveway. In addition he also completed a 400' walking path that I described to him as something that I wanted to look like it came out of a state park. Jeff and his crew completed all the work in three days and it looks perfect! His crew is always polite and keeps the area neat and clean. We look forward to our next idea that Jeff can turn into a wonderful reality.
