After 2 1/2 years of not being able to secure a contractor willing to excavate or property we found Joe who told us, "No problem when do you want to start?" After receiving Joes quote we asked if he could build us a wall also. Joe stuck with us even after we were satisfied with the excavation. He encouraged to order gravel late on a Friday to finish up the site.

We recently moved into a property over an acre in size, and the backyard was in rough shape. Northeast completely transformed it. They filled the old septic tank, graded the entire backyard, added a beautiful patio and front walkway, and finished it off with a brand-new asphalt driveway. The results exceeded our expectations—the property now looks like an estate! We are so thankful for their professionalism and quality work.

It was excellent job right on time I really appreciate it

All went according to plan. They were professional, reasonably priced and took care in finishing the project on time. I have never seen a more efficient team coordinating all that needed to be done.

03/06/2025 I hired Joseph Garies to do: 1. Bathroom remodeling; 2. Veneer stone tile installation at my BBQ area. Joseph Garies, North East Development LLC, RI License #GC-17083 CRLB Complaint C-25-78 Friday (03/28/2025) Joseph Garies asked me to pay (in full) him for these two contracts works. He promised that he will complete everything next day Saturday (03/29/2025) and Monday (03/31/2025). Friday Joseph Garies received the payment he requested and left. Joseph Gari didn’t show up Saturday. He didn’t show up Monday. Monday afternoon (03/31/2025) I got a text message from him, that he doesn’t want to do anything. It is not first Joe Garies takes customers money and run away. Actually, it’s a criminal act. ANGY Gail C. 06/2024 I hired Joe Garies…... I paid him in full. However, he did not finish the project. He gave me excuse after excuse, saying he would finish the project and be there on a particular day, but then that day would come, and Joe would send a text giving me a new excuse that he could not make it…... He said he would fix it when he returned to finish the job. That never happened…… Joseph Garies left the contract work unfinished with many defects. On May 7 Joe Garies agreed to compete the contract but so far it is not done. Joe Garries installed the water valves backwards (upside down). So, the valves operate wrongly. As a result: instead of a hot water we have a cold water and verse vise. I’m afraid to use it. Joe Garies installed veneer stone completely unprofessional: a) at the corners veneers should cut tight (no gap), cut at 45 degrees (similar wood boards); b) the top should be made of a flat flagstone. During the sidewall disassembly you removed Black Timber LOK Screws, about 78 pcs. Since you left the work, these screws are missing. Joe Garies destroys customers properties where he worked. ANGY Brian D. hired Joe Garies. 04/2025 WORST experience ever! If i could rate with negative stars, …..The "company" arrived at least 3 hours late every day to begin work. Owner was asking for money every day. The company left the broken pipe and sheetrock onsite and still haven't picked it up. They destroyed my lawn, cracked my entire concrete driveway that now needs replacement. They also punctured a gutter and garage trim (they did fix gutter and some trim). I now have to also regrade lawn, and fix trim. I do have to add they pulled one shrub as part of the job. They did pull out 3 other shrubs for me, which Joe offered for the work. He continuously told me he did the shrubs as a favor, and should be viewed as "helping me out" and should help to overlook some of the other issues/damage that occurred. This "company" shouldn't be allowed to be in business! Working on the Stone Installation project Joe Garies severely damaged / ruined the stamping concrete patio. To clean it costs $840.00 I sent to Joe Garies a number of emails, asking him to finish the contract. He promised each day to be here, but he never showed up.

Had a great experience with north east development llc and their pricing were unmatched!

WORST experience ever! If i could rate with negative stars, I would. Project discussions went well (expected 3 day job), offering a deposit to perform the work. I was told a deposit was unnecessary (very unusual). The "company" arrived at least 3 hours late every day to begin work. Owner was asking for money everyday. The company left the broken pipe and sheetrock onsite and still haven't picked it up. They destroyed my lawn, cracked my entire concrete driveway that now needs replacement. They also punctured a gutter and garage trim (they did fix gutter and some trim). I now have to also regrade lawn, and fix trim. I do have to add they pulled one shrub as part of the job. They did pull out 3 other shrubs for me, which Joe offered for the work. He continuously told me he did the shrubs as a favor, and should be viewed as "helping me out" and should help to overlook some of the other issues/damage that occurred. This "company" shouldn't be allowed to be in business!

Joe was prompt, timely, professional and courteous. He completed the job with great attention to detail and exceeded expectations. Would hire again in the future.

I hired Joe to 1) excavate my property. I paid him in full. However, he did not finish the project. He gave me excuse after excuse, saying he would finish the project and be there on a particular day, but then that day would come, and Joe would send a text giving me a new excuse that he could not make it. More than a month went by. He said he would be there, then sent a text with an excuse. He did this several times. In his last text last Saturday, when he promised to be at my house to finish the project, he once again said that he couldn't make it (another excuse). Joe promised that he would be there to finish the job on Wednesday, June 5th. He never showed up. 2) In another project, he said I needed a new sump pump (this was very early on). I paid him $3000. Once the job was "completed," I noticed there was still water near and around the sump pump. He said it came from a space where the concrete wall met the concrete floor. He said he would fix it when he returned to finish the job. That never happened. I figured out the problem as to where the water was coming from. He took a tube from the sump pump hole (that extracted water from my water purification center) and hung it over a rafter on the basement ceiling. He failed to put that tube back into the sump pump. I became suspicious of his work at this time. I made an appointment with GEM to check the leak and ensure the sump pump was correctly installed. When they checked, I was outside when they tested the sump pump. Water was gushing against the house instead of down into the trench he dug. I took a video and sent it to him. His response in a text was, "How dare you have someone else look at my work?" I did not respond and was shocked as this was my house, and I hadn't figured out why water was on the floor yet.

Complete professionals, showed up when they were supposed to, completed the work, and actually completed it ahead of schedule which is unheard of today.

Beside being a good person Joe did an amazing job his knowledge about the job is unquestionable I definitely recommend

We had some grading to be done in our backyard to put a new patio and we ended up doing front walk way also. They were very professional and went above and beyond of our expectations. Easy to communicate with and were answered to all of our questions. Very pleased with the service.

Joe does not follow through when he says he's going to be somewhere. Not telling me that he wasn't going to put them back the way he found my basement. Just terrible hack job. Horrible service, the professional carpenter he bought in was rude and just a hack job. After He got paid He texted me that I was a completely white trash and says have aa nice day you piece of ****. I hope you guys don't recommend them again.
