"This project went very well. I needed new sod in my front yard. I contacted Green Stone Landscaping to get a bid and was given a date and time for a survey. Gerardo came to my home to survey the job and I found him to be very friendly, professional, and knowledgeable. He advised me as to how he would go about the prep work of the yard and sod installation. I found his bid to be competitive and contacted his office a couple of days later to proceed with the job. Gerardo was able to schedule the job the following week. He and his crew arrived as he told me and completed the job in 1 1/2 days. The installation of the sod proceeded just as Gerardo had told me and he advised me how to care for the new sod (watering). I was very pleased with the email communications with Gerardo's wife in the front office. From the time I received the initial quote to the completion of the project, she kept me advised of what was going to happen when. It is now about two weeks after completion and I have a very green yard. As stated above, this project went very well and I would highly recommend Green Stone Landscaping for lawn care and landscaping projects."

"5 stars for the final product, 3 stars on the customer service experience. I contacted Akraba fully aware of their minimum but had a number of tasks and wanted to have the work done by professionals rather than trying to DIY it. This included replacing a window that would not open, replacing an interior double door with one that would lock, repairing the cosmetic damage around a skylight, and replacing a ceiling fan. Louie and Ily reached out immediately, listed to our concerns, requests, and HOA requirements and were able to not only provide a quote for the needed work but also quoted out replacing our fence at a more than reasonable price. While we did have some minor issues with the workers they sent (primarily regarding scheduling), Louie was very reassuring throughout the process and personally came to review and address each concern. Now that the work is complete both we and the HOA are happy with the work they did would recommend them to anyone that needs large projects done."

For example, bedroom remodeling costs are one of the least expensive projects, costing about $1,500 to $5,500 per bedroom.
