Retaining Wall Installation
$25,000
We paid a previous contractor to put in a retaining wall, fence and level our backyard, which was a 5 foot steep hill at the time. After the old contractor put up a nearly finished fence, 6 months later it was left incomplete and rotting. We hired the Lake Man and his crew to fix the mess that was left behind. In 1 days time not only did we have a retaining wall and cleaned up fence, but he laid fresh top soil for grass, trimmed our trees, cleaned up our garden area, prepped our driver way for paving and to top it all off weed ate around the property! I highly recommend this crew of real life Superheroes!

The Lake man and crew did an excellent job they did everything I asked and some. We would definitely hire the Lake man again for my next project.

This driveway looked like it was done by a group of workers hired off the street. Jeff talked a great talk, but the finished project looked abysmal. Just laid the rebar on the ground. Didn't tie it into any of the existing concrete. Didn't wire any of the rebar together. Used a 2x4 for the expansion joint. Finished cement was wavy with rock at the top. If I had the money, I'd tear it all up and start all over again, because that's what needs to be done.

Jeff said he would be done by the end of the week and had the job done in three days. He's a straight shooter. I will be hiring him again.

Talked a lot, but every time we talked we were going to get less and less for the money we had already given him. In the end what he was going to do for the initial quote and what we were actually going to get were two very different things. Every other visit it felt like he was wanting more money and every time we asked about some of the things he had promised he could do, he would say that was not in the contract and would cost extra. In the end, my wife asked him to not come back and we were left feeling like we got screwed out $10,000-15,000.

Work not completed. Missing caps on back side of of wall. Insufficient rock spread behind portions of wall and on side lot. Larger rocks insufficiently compacted. Contractor would not return calls. Home Advisors denied help following repeated requests. Would not reccomend contractor nor trust Home Advisors for the price paid.

Started with bid of 3,500 on a job that has a national average of 425 as a high figure. Returned and agreed to raise level at drive entrance and seal for 1000. Did not provide contract I did extensive work to prepare for work. The leveling was not completed and vegetation was not cleared from cracks and no fill was provided. Within a week seal was pealing and grass was re-establishing in drive Jeff was unwilling to take my calls and repeatedly avoided repair in texts He found a time when I was not at site and did some touch up. However pealing area he had mentioned being aware of was not coated and grass areas on better part were not cared for. Also got sealer on my lawn and broke an edge off my drive Worst of all when I finally got to talk to him on phone he said I was asking him to put lipstick on a pig!! I now know why he calls his business demolition

Jeff arrived within 30 minutes of my request for a bid through Home Advisor on a Saturday. I contacted him the next Sunday to accept the bid and he arrived that day to deliver materials. He and his crews showed up early the next day and finished the entire project by 6:00. They completed the entire project to the exact specifications Jeff bid the project. The work was quality, looks beautiful. I would definitely consider Demolition for any future projects.

Jeff contacted me and provided me a price and told me he could start my project the next day and that I would not have to pay him until he was complete. We had reviewed the scope and agreed to the removal of the existing debris, pouring of concrete patio, with a well, and trench drain, removal of existing concrete flume and piping of trench drain to storm drainage, AB3 stone on the existing drive and an asphalt sealant, and a final grade of the yard area. He never completed his work and demanded payment prior to finishing on numerous occasions. Unfortunately for me I did pay him his first requested amount of $9,500. He left my yard in a mess and debris everywhere. After he finished pouring all of the concrete work his man on site asked me for final payment. I informed him that there was a lot of clean up left. He called Jeff to let him know and he told me Jeff would be in contact. When Jeff showed up and I showed him how his men had left my yard, he agreed I had a legit beef and he sent two guys over that did a very small amount of work and then asked me for final payment. I thought they were joking because Jeff had just been there and saw what needed to be done. His company did a great job on the concrete patio which had complicated drainage issues which they nailed. But he has left my yard in a horrible mess and did not put any AB3 stone in. He no longer takes my calls.

They were on time, fast, efficient and even worked in inclement weather. They completed a concrete job that I have been trying to get done for years, and could never find anyone willing to take on the project. Their only short coming was that they could have done a better job at cleanup and repairing some of the ground damaged during the project. Otherwise, they did a terrific job and I would not hesitate to hire them again!

Jeff and his crew did an outstanding job on the concrete pad, driveway and retaining wall I hired them for. They were very quick to respond to my initial request for a quote which came in at a very reasonable and fair price. What impressed me the most was the unbelievable time frame in which they completed the work. What I thought would take at least a week they completed in one day! I would highly recommend them for your project and I would definitely use them again.

I asked Jeff for an estimate to re-do my garage floor, he said I needed a drain put in to keep the water out, he was quick to put the drain in for a a good sum of money. He came to put the drain in early on a Sunday morning (the next day after talking with me), when they got the drain installed he said he would be back to clean up .the dust and rock debris, but that did not happen. It was a real mess and we were dragging cement dust into the house and cars. I cleaned up the mess myself with my power washer, which took me over two hours to complete. Jeff did come by about a week later to see how satisfied I was, I told him I was not at all content with his work, he talks a good game, but I am very cautious recommending him, get at least two bids on a project, so you can compare.

Because of the rain, they were here bringing in supplies the same day I hired them and today between rainstorms the crew was here getting up block retaining walls to hold back the diet. Very efficient and steady work. Not quite finished but if the rain holds off a day they plan to be done tomorrow. Even cleaned up their mess and some of mine.
