Get matched with top land clearing pros in Cross Junction, VA

"I hired Ace to clean up the last two autumn's worth of leaves from my yard. The crew of three worked for four hours and cleared the worst of the build-up. They came with all the equipment needed for the job worked diligently for the entire time, and left my yard a lot clearer.

"Called MJ Homes Services to request mold testing at my residence. They responded to my request within in a 24 hour period. I received a quote promptly after the test was completed. I am so impressed with the services of this company."

"Steve Norfolk (owner) returned my call quickly, came out to inspect my basement within 24 hours and gave me an estimate that was significantly less then another "national" provider.  He got me on his schedule promptly and his crew came out on time, performed the work, cleaned up after themselves and I have not had a water problem since that time.
"

"Overall, we are pleased to have used Willard Environmental Group, however in follow to our job, the communication has been less than satisfactory."

"They came out today to provide an estimate on fixing a frozen pipe. They ran a snake through the pipe to see if anything was in the pipe causing the clog.  They also checked our crawl space to see if they could access the pipe from that area, but unfortunately are not able to.  They're going to have to remove the siding from the house, clear out the pipe, re-insulate it and replace the siding. Their estimate of $1,200 seems like a fair price.  I especially liked the fact that they took off their shoes before entering the house.  Everyone was very professional, prompt and courteous.  I did pay them today for the snake service and inspection."

"I met with Andrew a few months before the work was to begin to discuss options.  In August 2014 he installed a long french drain that emptied into the woods and down the ravine on my property behind the house.  As sometimes happens with these things, the system did not really get a good test until today.   We had a storm cell over our neighborhood that dumped a ton of water in my yard in a very short period of time.  Andrew's drain sucked it up without a problem and moved the water as advertised.  I should have done this years ago!

"Backyard Ponds is magic. I have a small backyard pond,stream and waterfall that have been
leaking for years. Various workmen had poured concrete into it, slathered mortar
between stones and sprayed special waterfall foam all over the sides of it. My
pond, stream and waterfall continued to leak. Hilary of Backyard Ponds looked at it for a while, moved one
stone and fixed the leak. How did you do that! I yelled. Well after you work on
enough of these things you get an eye for what the problem could be. Then she
vacuumed all the mud that had been clogging the pum , reattached the waterline
and pump that I could never get to stay together, restacked the rocks along the
edge of the stream so they actually sat on top of each other instead of sliding
down at all angles, and added a few strategically placed rocks to hide the pump
and waterline and cover the rubber sides of the stream. She added a regulator to
the water line so I could make the water run fast and slow. And more. I have had
a pond and stream for fifteen years, and many people have worked on it, from
expensive professioanl landscapers to guys I would swear the contractor picked
up off the street corner. The difference in using someone who specializes in
ponds is stunning. Backyard ponds is
magic.

"Excellent wer were beyond impressed and will call The Pond Doctor to maintain our pond."

"Given that this company has an A rating, I was appalled to discover that John was not upfront about his subcontracting and permitting practices.  We questioned a very large line item on the contract for "permits" and were told that in addition to the actual county fees, they needed to cover other "expenses" associated with the permits.  Huh?  In response we were told we could pull permits "in our name" and would not be responsible for Suncrest's fee.   We agreed, though now I know I wasn't exactly clear what he meant by "in our name".  When I first applied for the permits using Suncrest as the contractor, I was told by the county they are not licensed to do plumbing or electrical work.  I thought that was strange since my husband and I both remember John saying they do not use subcontractors.  John got very nervous and defensive when I asked him about this.  He told me they do contract out this type of work, though interestingly he could not initially remember the names of his subcontractors and was adamant that he did not want me to use their names on the permit.  In the interest of keeping things going, I ultimately got the permits online using my name as general contractor for a fraction of the cost Suncrest quoted and it took all of 30 minutes.   The down side is that I gave up any protection against shoddy work by doing this.  
I was home for a good part of the time the work was being done on our bathroom.  I know for a fact that there was never a licensed plumber or electrician in my home.  The guy doing the demo, tile and everything else did all the wiring and plumbing and there was never any discussion about it.  These were not overly complicated tasks in our case, but licenses are required for this work for a reason!    I suspect even if I did pay the fee for Suncrest to pull the permits, all of the work still would have been done by Suncrest's employee, with the extra fee going towards a kickback to the plumber and electrician who allow Suncrest to pull permits in their names.
Overall we were satisfied with the work they did.  Responsiveness to the initial contacts was very slow.  Work was started 2 months after we were told they would be available.
We had talked with a few other companies before Suncrest, but we were not comfortable with the rigidity of the offers and limited materials choices.  Suncrest's initial quote was very basic (and missing some key upgrades I thought I had mentioned).  However, John was willing to revise and add things until we were comfortable with the plan.  We chose all our own materials, which was good in our case, but also a lot of work.  I did not get nearly enough guidance from the contractor as to the amount of tile to order.  As a result, my tile order was significantly low, and by the time the work started 2-3 months after the tile was delivered, I had a very hard time getting enough matching tile to complete the job and was forced to use some unattractive pieces of tile I would have rather returned.  As I was buying the tile directly, this was left entirely to me to figure out.  It seems like at least at the start of the job (if not much earlier), someone from Suncrest could have looked things over to make sure the materials were adequate.
