He did a god job last year, but I need a contractor who will return my calls.
Pros:
- Nick is very personable and easy to work with.
- There was a willingness to accommodate when I made decisions to make some last minute changes without price gouging.
- The work was completed amazingly fast - one day for work and a few hours follow-up for sealing concrete and paving prep.
- A very hard working crew of 6 men that worked like a well oiled machine until the task was complete. They all knew their roles.
- To get the best job, the concrete was poured from 4 to 6 inches thick, depending on area and past problems with pavers.
- They mix their own concrete and coloring is added as it is mixed throughout the mixture.
- Not dependent on needing a large cement truck with chutes to carry concrete to an area as it was all done with wheel barrels.
- A willingness to return on a Sunday morning to wash and seal concrete.
Cons:
- Our original date had to be moved back a couple of weeks, however, anyone that had a workload for the summer was behind with all the rain that we had. The first date we set up over one month in advance, so I can understand the change.
- Did not communicate very well. I saw him one morning and he said he was coming to start job that afternoon and did not show up. He emailed me later that day and said he was bringing the crew the next day. He did not show up and emailed me later in the morning with excuse and said he would be out with a big crew the next day and that did happen. A bit frustrating, however, in the grand scheme of things the timing was close and the job got done by promised date. He told me that the bobcat work to prep for my old pavers we would do in the fall and a couple of days later (still in July) a man shows up with the bobcat. He had sent me an email that morning that I had not looked at, but fortunately I was home to show the bobcat operator what to do.
I really feel I got lots of work done for the money. I had pretty much decided to do the work myself of resetting my pavers in the timbers, until I got the bid from Earthscapes. Other bidders were leery of this job because one of the huge yews could not be accessed by tractor and had to be hand dug and removed. That was a time consuming job. Other bidders did not want to remove shrubs at all and they wanted to bring cement trucks in and realized they could not easily access the job. Earthscapes did it all quickly and efficiently. I almost gave an A experience rating because the cost and end product were the most important consideration to me, but the lack of communication and punctuality have to get some consideration. I am willing to put up with a little unresponsiveness and lack of punctuality if all is well that ends well. The price and quality of work met expectations. The only reason for B professionalism score, was Nick not bringing up that some of the timbers should have been reset to get the very best job, but I am still happy with the end result. Also, in my mind, professionalism also includes communication, which I already commented on. I contacted Nick, because I saw a large rock wall, cement patio, and garden work that Earthscapes completed for a friend of mine which looked really nice and my friend was pleased with the end product. I am glad I took his recommendation to contact Nick. I would certainly recommend Earthscapes to others and I will use them again if the need arises.
I have considered Earthscape for a few other projects, however, we weren't able to come together on a price. Still, I'd definitely feel comfortable using them again.
