We called Howard and he came out within 48 hours and completed the job within a week. We gave our entire backyard an overhaul by adding in a patio and landscaping.
We had neglected our yard over the past several years and Howard did an excellent job bringing it up to date.
Since than Howard has been by twice while he was in the area working for other clients just to make sure we were still satisfied and to ask if we needed anything additional.
We have referred Howard to several friends and family members.
He and his workers showed up on time every day and usually worked until dark. They got the job done quickly and did a few little extras to make the job look great. The walls are beautiful (and passed the county inspection easily). Furthermore, now that the downspouts are buried, we won't have water/erosion problems in those spots any more, and the way he mulched behind the walls, under the trees, and around the house make our property look better than any of the others on our block! I'm sure all our neighbors are impressed. I know we are. Howard and his crew really went above and beyond. We would definitely hire him again.
He replied promptly to our initial inquiry, and spent a great deal of time with us designing and planning the project.
We have recommended Howard for several other projects for friends, and would recommend him highly for any comparable project.
He is a pleasure to work with.
"In a response to a customers request for my work and that I had a report of this post, I've joined Angies to see what any customer of the hundreds that I've worked for could have a bad response. I'm shocked that this client and his partner would post a report of this manner! But here is my response: #1 This project started with a deposit paid 2Sep10, started on 7Sep10 and was completed 16Sep10. (9 days not including the day lost when locals stole $2,500.00 material from my truck) They where leaving on 23Sep for vacation and he called me on a minor touch up on the 22Sep and I was there the 23Sep to take care of. #2 This project was and is an excellent job. Beautiful Stone Pavers, Sitting walls and Pressure Treated wood fence with materials from local DC Home Depot. Upon there return of their vacation, he called me complaining of one of the middle 6" x 6" x 10' post was twisted and wanted it replaced (His idea of twisted post was about 1/4" out of square). I informed him to do so would be taking down the entire 12'6" section of walls over 7' high, plus removing a large section of pavers, gravel, supports and more. (I informed him that cost would be $500.00 to do so) He agreed to get back to me on this and never heard back figuring he decided it really wasn't that bad which is was not! I had pick my material from my suppliers and these boards #1 grades that should please 99% of all customers. The client I assume with posting a reply of this was in the 1%! He also requested in the midst of the project that he wanted more privacy then originally agreed and changed Shadow Box Design to tighter and more private fencing for his entertaining. I did so at no additional cost. He requested after work had begun that stone layouts be changed, I did so also at no additional cost! He requested grading of steps be changed again in midst of project and again I did so at no additional cost! I'll please customers 99% of time. I guess the client and I will have to agree to disagree! he as I stated before, If you want perfection, I can do, just ask and I will do for you! Again! #3 We worked under the DC Gov't parameter's to dark or 9pm, what ever was first. We did work late one night and neighbor with baby, ask us to wrap it up which we did. If multiple request where made, I didn't hear about it? We actually did work with several of his neighbors later after completing his work and working off of other numerous referrals from those! #4 We worked every scheduled day of work we had posted except of days that materials where not do to arrive or weather. Bottom line we met and exceed our 9 day window and produced an excellent job! #5 The project came in exactly as we agreed upon in cost from start to finish. Any changes where again after fact that the client requested. NOT one penny more! In hind sight with this client, I would not have changed anything. I believe the only question of this project that we differed on was the twisted 6" x 6" post that in my opinion was for an outdoor project would be acceptable in 99% of the cases. I'm sorry that he felt he had to take this extreme measures to damage my reputation and I would gladly provide 100 positive feedback to offset this sole incident! Howard Isenberg Owner"
