"Went Very well. I was gling to have loghts repainted but they said it would look better and be more cost effective to put up new lights. And that is whay we did. The lights and cement step Looks great!"

"Adam was great to work with. He communicated clearly, always answered emails promptly, and did a wonderful job on our outdoor lighting installation. I would recommend him highly."

"Everything turned out fine. When it first arrived, it was damaged in the shipping. It took them quite a while to get something back to us, or even to call me back when I wrote to them. But then, once they got the ball rolling, it went very quickly. It took them probably about a month to even get back to me. The price was very good. Once somebody actually did speak with me, they were very responsive. They were pretty professional when I spoke to them. I just think that they were light on manpower."

"Bruce and his guys did a terrific job. My landscaping was overrun with weeds and was too much to keep up with. I wanted to make the bedding areas smaller and I wanted to switch to plants that would need less maintenance. Bruce came out to give an estimate, and he gave me plenty of time to explain what I was trying to achieve. I never felt rushed. He contributed several ideas, pointing out things I hadn't thought about like the sunlight requirement of some of the plants I wanted to incorporate into the landscape. It was a very large job because basically the guys had to remove all of my existing plants, grind stumps where necessary and separate the weeds from the plants I wanted to keep (talk about a time consuming job!). Then they needed to treat the bedding areas to kill the remnants of the existing weeds. After that they planted all my new plants, plus the old ones that I wanted to keep and have moved to other areas. Kyle and Kristian did most of the work, and except for short breaks they worked nonstop. I couldn't believe how much they could get done in a day! Plus, they had a great attitude; they were very polite and helpful. The second day of the job we had 2 days of rain and then the yard needed to dry a day to be workable, and that was the only glitch in the process (and obviously, one out of Mantz landscaping's control.) When the guys came back they got right back to it and transformed my landscaping from a dreary mess to something I'm once again proud of. After they got all the plants in the ground they did a beautiful job of applying the black mulch, which really made the landscaping pop. One thing that really impressed me is that even though he's the owner, when needed Bruce was working right alongside the guys, working hard to make sure that the job would get done when he said it would be done. I was even more impressed when I found out that Bruce (and Kyle) had been working even though they were dealing with a touch of flu. When I had seen Bruce laying down sod I'd had no idea that he was working with a fever--that's dedication! Bruce did many helpful/kind things without charging me extra. When it turned out that the shrubs I was having removed couldn't be pulled but would need to be cut and the stumps ground down, he charged me for the stump grinder rental but not for the extra labor. I had a huge growth of poison ivy that he removed without charging me...same with moving a couple of bushes from the original landscaping to another part of my yard so that I wouldn't lose them. Because I was so impressed with the work that Bruce and his guys did, less than a week later my husband and I decided to hire Mantz lawn and landscaping to remove the bushes in front of our garage as well as at the back of our yard and replace them with grasses. As part of that, a hibiscus was moved from the yard to the side of our shed. Not only did Kyle and Kristian move the hibiscus, Bruce had them weed and mulch the beds on the side and front of the shed, yet he didn't charge extra for doing that. In addition they even weeded my small rose bed and applied the leftover mulch there, another thing that I hadn't paid extra for. I didn't expect extras but I think it's representative of Bruce's attitude toward his customers. He takes pride in his work, and wants his customers to be very happy when the job is done. That carries over into the employees, who have a good attitude and who work hard. When I first saw the listing for Mantz landscaping on Angies List, I wondered whether I could trust the ratings; because they were all positive it almost seemed too good to be true. Having worked with Bruce I can say that our experience was just as good as everybody else's, and we will definitely be using them for any of our future landscaping work."

"Friendly, fast, and affordable. They fixed my broken light switch and installed a grounding wire on my gas line in under an hour. Highly recommended."

"It was a fine experience. They installed some front lights & did some plug work in our back room. They were prompt and sent one guy. We didn’t have enough for him to do and he left early."

"They were able to schedule the work for the next day. I now have a working light and a much nicer looking bathtub. And I felt the price they charged was more than fair. Will definitely be using Hicks repair next time we need any work done on our home."

"I expected the wires to be hid in the wall. This was not part of the deal. Also, the bracket was not centered on the wall."

"     In order to complete to layout design I submitted a drawing of the room as well as a series of photos.  The website for Homemade design has a questionaire what helps define your overall tastes in design.  I joined Pinterest and started boards for furniture, lighting, bookshelves which were reviewed.  Homemade design comes to New York periodically to meet with clients not in the Boston area and this gave us a chance to meet and select furniture and upholstery at the New York Design center.  This is an extra charge but well worth it since I was completely overwhelmed.  They were extremely patient and guided me through the process.  At one point I decided to move the television which turned out to be a bad idea -- they explained why it would not worked and I concurred competely after I understood the reasons.  So, they are not afraid to tell you if you going down the wrong road. I live in a New York City townhouse and forget that I do not have a whol lot of space even though my house is huge for NYC. So, I had to be told how to "scale" everything to the space we had to work with, which was helpful
I purchased the service several months ago but was not ready to actually decide on the actual purchases until recently. So, the delay in completion is because of my schedule.  I now hope to finish everything by September.
