"Allen Santone owes me $4580 dollars. I was awarded a civil judgement against him that he has made no attempt to date to pay. Allen's company was hired to replace older wooden decking and railing with Trex. I paid $6838 upfront to cover demo and $3488 of that for the Trex decking. Similar to the negative reviews below and on Angie's List Allen quoted a total of $9838 for the entire job on a very vague contract then began asking for additional money after demolition left the deck unusable. Initially, I was asked for additional money to address wood rot on the frame and joists of the original deck. This was not completely unexpected due to its age. Allen then came back and asked for additional money stating that the joists were not level, another similarity to one of the negative posts below. After significant delays, my goal was to get the job finished as I had already paid a significant amount of money to Allen and his company. At this point Allen tried to convince me to hire his company to construct a retaining wall, which I declined and simply asked that he finish the job I had paid for. After declining his services to construct a retaining wall several more times and insisting that he do the work he'd been paid for he then told me that his "connection" who he normally gets materials for $1000 from could not be located and that the total for materials was now over $10,000. If you recall I paid for materials upfront. By this time we were several months beyond the start of the project. Since the contract that work was being executed against was a fixed price contract I was not willing to pay the additional cost for materials. At that point Allen stated that he was only willing to issue me a partial refund of $2400 which didn't even cover the money I had paid for materials that were NEVER DELIVERED. I requested that Allen return half of what I had paid him, which I thought was more than fair since he was the one breaking the contract. He refused. I ended up filing a claim against him in South Carolina's small claims court for which I was awarded $4580. I had to hire a whole new company to not only finish the work but also address issues that I had paid Allen and his company for. I also ended up purchasing materials twice since Allen took money for materials that he never ordered or delivered and refused to refund payment for."

"I was super impressed with my experience with Miguel and his team at MA Outdoor Services. It seems impossible in today's market to find consistently reliable people, especially in construction. Miguel exceeded my expectations. He has a very hard working team that were on site all day, 6 days a week, weather permitting. It's always good to find someone who is passionate about the work they do, and this became transparent early in the project. The work is also of high quality with much attention to detail. I'm also blown away by the responsiveness. I texted Miguel around Christmas weekend to ask about a change during his vacation. He called me within seconds to hash out the details. The old retaining wall was taken down and replaced very quickly. The new patio looks amazing and I am super happy with the custom fireplace. I've had several friends and neighbors ask for a reference after looking at the final product. I would highly recommend MA Outdoor Services and will use them for any other future work."

"They saved the day removing poison ivy and peppervine from our palm trees!! They also sprayed our wood line area. They were professional, timely, and communicated a fair price for the job! We will definitely hire them again!"

"Excellent experience with E&M General Landscaping. Elebi, owner, was professional, reliable and a man of his word. I had a previous experience with having steps built incorrectly and called this company to demolish the old steps and rebuild new steps. The work was beyond superior by E&M and the customer service was even better. We recently hosted two outdoor events at our home and many guests complimented the beautiful steps! I would definitely recommend this company and definitely will use them again. Thank you, Mr. Elebi! Lewis G."
