"Our backyard in Warwick had a hideous six foot hill that NO ONE wanted to deal with. I had several companies come out for estimates, and most of them ran in the other direction. Once we finally found a company to start the job, they left us with an even bigger disaster. Cappella Enterprises came to the rescue for us. Rob (the owner) arrived literally within a few hours of me calling him. Unlike the other companies, he was calm and confident about taking the job on. He wasn't hesitant about fixing someone else's mess. Rob was also very passionate about educating us on the details of our project, and gave us the knowledge and tools we needed to protect us from a few fraudulent "contractors". Within a few days, he helped us get on track with permits and engineered drawings, guiding us every step of the way. As the owner/operator on site, he was involved with every step of the process. Decisions made quickly to keep things moving along. They worked 7 days a week until the job was done."
