Still 1-Star but new information…read more Aquaterra was pool service for the guy I bought my house from. He let the pool go because he wasn't living at the house at the time and it had started turning green. They told me they'd have the pool crystal clear and sparkling. After several weeks, the pool looked worse and they stopped showing up. So, I hired a new guy because despite my daily efforts to keep the pool clean and chemicals balanced things were not improving. He found that they [AquaTerra] let leaves and debris clog the impeller on the pump causing the flow issues. This was caused by a broken basket on the pump side skimmer that they should have but didn't replace. As a result, the filter pressure gauge (which I thought was broken and ordered a replacement gauge for) actually worked but the filter wasn't getting enough flow! Plus, the filter (while newer) had not been cleaned in a long time. To put it in perspective, Aquaterra came out about 2 weeks ago (for 2 weeks straight) and its taken 11lbs of shock (plus several pounds that I've added on my own) to undo what the should have done and didn't in the first place. And, my pool guy came today (Tuesday) and said the pool will be ready for swimming by the weekend. So yeah, don't let these guys near your pool.

The company was a pleasure to deal with. - The estimate was clear, and included all the specifications and alternatives we'd discussed (not true of competing bids). - Communication on scheduling and questions was very good. - The quality of the construction is excellent. A few minor issues were identified during a post-completion walk-through, and quickly resolved. - Some problems emerged with the staining, done by a subcontractor, but they were resolved professionally. Really an outstanding company, and a good choice to minimize the trauma that a construction project often involves.

Shane came out to our house personally, to view the yard and discuss what we wanted, did not rush and answered all our questions. Our fence is extremely well constructed and just beautiful.

My husband is an engineer, and we don't hang or build ANYTHING without a chalk line and a level ... argh. And even if he had built this fence himself, it could not be any better!

He went above and beyond any of my exceptions. I can't say enough nice things about his work and his crews. Thank you Extreme Woodcare.

CGreens was beyond awful and PLM Landscapers were supposed to bring us a bid but no showed twice for the backyard. Rick with Legit came over and immediately put me at ease. He listened to what my desires were and sent us a plan that night! What they did in our backyard is beyond any expectation we could have had! In 3 days they rehomed our koi fish, took out our koi pond, filled it in, made beds around our soon to be (Monday morning) putting green, brought our trees in, planted everything, cleaned and power washed our decking and were finished by Wednesday afternoon! Rick and Don were on hand overseeing the job at every step of way! I CANNOT express how pleased we are!

Last month I reached out to these folks to give me a estimate on spraying on a "Austin Stone" look…read moreto three areas of the house. A wainscoting in the dining room, a accent wall in the master bedroom and a total transformation of the look around our sealed propane fired fireplace. Taking it from a 20 year old look (large beige ceramic tiles) to the Austin Stone and a flat limestone appearance on the floor level hearth. Estimate was reasonable and we scheduled it for a few weeks later. When they arrived to do the work and began to prepare the house for the work, I had concerns. Not that they were doing a bad job - rather that they sealed off and protected stuff more than 10ft from the surface they were working on. So .. I thought - wow - I sure hope they can control the process better than that. Well they did control it well and they were just being cautious of my house/belongings. I fully appreciated it when they finished the process and they were out of there quickly. They spent one day prepping and came the next day to spray and carve. Amazing process and GREAT folks. I am very impressed, as is EVERYONE I show the before and after photographs to. For a reasonable cost, they likely added back to the resale of the house 2x or 3x the cost. Of course, since I never plan to move ... that doesn't matter to much to me. But the house looks GREAT. These guys rock. Alfredo is the estimator and works with the crew as well (as needed I'm sure), he is very personable and he "talked the talk and walked the walk". Would recommend these folks to anyone.

When it comes to ProCal Stone, our best advice is: BUYER BEWARE. In September 2018, we contracted…read morewith ProCal Stone to install a limestone overlay on our brick fireplace. Alfredo, one of the owners, did a great job selling the solution and due to a cancellation by another customer offered us a discounted price to do the work. Alfredo is very good at what he does both as a salesman and as a contractor. Unfortunately, what became painfully obvious to us throughout our dealings with ProCal Stone was that unless Alfredo was personally involved, the work was not done properly. What also became apparent was that since we were a relatively small customer (~$2,500), Alfredo could not be bothered with us once we got past the initial installation. Their "warranty service" was a joke. I've never before had a vendor ask me to "pay my guys a little something" on warranty work to correct things that their company did incorrectly! The fireplace initially looked pretty good but there were some issues with the color, which were ultimately corrected after about three visits and with the sealer, which to this day has not been adequately addressed. In fact, ProCal's last attempt to address the sealant (June 2019) was a total failure. Not only did they seal the fireplace to the point where months later, it's still sticky to the touch. They damaged our walls (used the wrong type of tape that pulled paint off the walls) and our flooring (overspray from the color was left on our floors around the base of the fireplace). The worst part was that they left the house in that condition and refused to come back out to address it. In fact, Alfredo (and his manager Irma) refused to return numerous phone calls we made to try to get them to come back out to fix the damage they caused. After speaking to irma on Friday afternoon, June 28, she committed to call me back on Monday with a resolution and I'm still waiting to hear back from anyone at ProCal. (And I have the phone records to prove it.) We suspect that part of this refusal to engage was designed to let the 1 year warranty expire so that they could get paid for any additional work. We went ahead and addressed the paint and flooring damage ourselves. The limestone itself has not proven to be a good solution. It does not wear well (chips and crumbles easily) and the sticky sealant is a nuisance. We will eventually have to find another solution for our fireplace. We wish we had never heard of ProCal Stone and would strongly urge anyone considering them for an interior residential solution to BEWARE. #Untrustworthy #MoneyGrab #VeryUnprofessional
