"Tom Rozier worked with us to plan and design the beds. He had some excellent ideas. The crew arrived as scheduled, and did a nice job of removing some old shrubs and installing new ones. We had an issue with two of the new plants, and Tom not only replaced them, but had his crew refresh both front beds. The work they performed was excellent. The crew was courteous and easy to talk with. We are very pleased with Dreamscape and highly recommend them."

"Kyle and Casey are extremely competent craftsmen. Project exceeded expectations in all respects and would absolutely hire again. The details, including the portion of structure you can't see when finished, were "over engineered" for durability. Nicest pool deck in Sandbridge beach!"

Get It Done Contracting greatly exceeded my expectations and the husband and wife co-owner team of Dave and Melisa treated our kitchen as if it was their own.

We sought estimates from four contractors in the fall of 2014 and selected Get It Done Contracting in January 2015 because they were less expensive than the others.  We also felt comfortable working with Melisa.  Melisa manages the initial estimate process and does the paperwork/ordering behind the scenes and Dave performs demo and manages the project on site.  If you appreciate being treated like you are the only game in town, go with Get it Done. 

For background, we spent about $35,000 on the project, which lasted about a month and included demo, painting, ceiling fan, pendant light, can lights, under cabinet lighting, painting (walls/ceiling), cabinets and cabinet/drawer pulls, granite countertops and a sink, 700 sq ft of tile (kitchen, laundry room, hall, foyer, bathroom), tile backsplash, toilet and stainless steel appliances.  We let Dave and the gang rip out and install everything.  The way Get it Done operates is that the customer purchases appliances, pulls, faucet, ceiling fan, tile back splash/grout and floor tile/grout separately.  The reason for this is so you have control of the selection.  The estimate takes this into account, so you aren't paying more than some of the competitors who include everything or nearly everything in their estimate.  We had to go to the granite store and pick out the slabs we wanted, select the edge style for the granite, and pick out the sink style.  We also went to the cabinet store to pick out the cabinet style and color. 

What I like about Get it Done is that they don't subcontract to a bunch of random people.  They have a tile guy, Keith, who is fantastic and does all the tiling himself.  He spent about two and a half weeks in our house.  By the time he left it felt like he was one of the family.  I learned a lot about tiling by watching and talking with him.  They have a painter, Jesse, and an electrician and plumber (can't recall their names).  They were all knowledgeable, polite, courteous, and respected our home.  We saw Dave and Keith more than the rest.  The others were in and out pretty quickly.  If I ever had an issue, Dave quickly rectified it.  He always went above and beyond to ensure I was satisfied.

If I had any advice, give yourself about 4-5 months of slop from the time you start researching contractors until the project is complete.  We spent a couple of months selecting Get it Done, then it took about a month or so to get the cabinets in.  While the cabinets are being ordered, you can purchase the appliances, tile and all the other things.  The timing worked out well.  Stay patient because it is a long and nerve-racking process, but it is well worth it when complete.

Ultimately, we were so happy with Get it Done that we are planning to have them give us an estimate on our master bathroom remodel.  I would never recommend skipping the estimate process and throwing all your eggs in one contractor's basket, but you can't go wrong if you get just one estimate from Get it Done and then pull the trigger.


Note:  I'm attaching before and after photos.  We have since purchased a matching kitchen table and window treatments.  Those were not in the "After" photos when I took them.

"Absolutely first-class from start to finish!  From the initial consultation, estimate and design by the company ownership to the final stages of installation by a top-notch crew, we were very impressed with the professionalism, expertise, communication and flexibility of Belletto's entire team.  Through the design phase, Dan Belletto was extremely responsive in responding to service calls and visits to help through modifications, and provided great advice to ensure our project was completed to our complete satisfaction.  The installation crew was superb--courteous, talented and also helped us through some last-minute modifications with great recommendations.  The project was started and completed on time, and they voluntarily worked over the weekend to make sure they met all deadlines.  The project included some electrical mods, construction design, tiling, light installation, insulation, painting and more--and every phase was executed with perfection, accuracy and technical expertise.

"Chuck Hipp and his employee, Antonio, did a phenomenal job! The brick fireplace was sinking and the bricks were separating from the wall. After investigation Chuck determined that there were no footers under the fireplace. He installed new footers, supported the brick wall and reattached all the bricks and suggested the fireplace be covered with stucco and tiles to match the Spanish style of the house. The fireplace turned out beautifully and became the true focal point of the living room. The house was listed for sale and I know the beautiful stucco fireplace helped to sell the home quickly. We moved to our new 1948 house and discovered that the chimney needed to be rebuilt. I received a bid from A Step in Time chimney sweeps which was astronomical. I then consulted a structural engineer who confirmed the bid was outrageously high. He recommended a good brickmason be consulted. I found Chuck Hipp and Hipp Masonry Works on Angies List. Chuck investigated the problem and determined that the chimney needed to be torn down and rebuilt at the roof line and he was able utilize new bricks with old bricks to match the new chimney addition to the existing home and bottom half of the chimney. He asked me to drive around and take photos of chimneys I liked and he would duplicate it. I found a chimney on a beautiful older home and Chuck was able to duplicate it to suit my brick, Tudor home. It is gorgeous and best of all the fireplace can now be used for a beautiful wood fire. He then removed and replaced all the broken, damaged bricks throughout the exterior of the house using mainly old bricks salvaged room the chimney rebuild. Chuck and Antonio did incredible work and at half the price of the previous bid. Before they left they brought in topsoil to fill in any holes in our lawn due to the work and they used soil to regrade the back of the house which had been the cause of damage to lower bricks. They also repointed the front steps and remortered the boxes for the exterior porch lights which were hanging loose from the brick exterior. I will only call the HippMasonry Works for any brick work."

"Very well. The crew was on time and ready for work. They did an excellent job on the wall repair even though wall was textured. They matched the texturing, and I can no longer tell where the hole was. In our living room they took up some rotted wood by the patio door and replaced it with tile. they did a very good job."

Retaining Wall Installers questions, answered by experts

Poured concrete is often the cheapest material for a retaining wall, costing around $6 to $8 per square foot. Other budget-friendly options include vinyl and landscaping timbers, which range from $10 to $15 per square foot; landscaping timbers are particularly well-suited for DIY projects. Untreated timber and railroad ties are a step up in price, starting at $15 to $25 per square foot. Natural stones can also be a cost-effective choice if you can source them from your own property, but they can be expensive to purchase. High-end materials like steel are typically the most expensive but offer superior durability and aesthetics.

To maintain the integrity of your landscape, a retaining wall must be installed if the slope of the angle exceeds 35 degrees. The lean of the wall must be 1 inch per 12 inches in height to disperse the weight of the soil uniformly and guarantee the correct drainage of the soil.

Costs range from $5,000 to $15,000, depending on size, material, and design complexity.

With foundation walls, the slab on grade and force at the top of the wall is resisted by flooring. With retaining walls, the force at the top of the wall is not resisted.

A retaining wall can only function as a fence if it’s high enough on all sides to prevent someone from accidentally falling into the pool. However, most retaining walls retain dirt, which means their purpose is not related to safety. There would need to be nothing on the other side of the wall for it to be considered a fence, but in that case, it wouldn’t retain anything and would cease to be a retaining wall.
