I hired Archiscape to help add curb appeal to my home for sale. I hired a different prior, that had put up a new fence and all new sod, but I did not like how the other company was laying the paver walkway. Ismael was very friendly and offered all kinds of help and reassurances, that his team would help me get the outside ready to sell. We established a contract to lay paver walkways, fix existing stairs, regrade the driveway, straighten my back fence, fix the sump pump, fix the side street drainage, and build a small bench/step in the backyard. I had some fencing that jogged between the garage & the side stairs to hide my awful AC unit. Ismael suggested removing that area because it would open up the flow of the side yard. And he was absolutely correct.
At some point after more talking, I agreed to replace some retaining walls with new wall block and add more capstone. This was a $6k increase. I won't disclose the first price because it doesn't apply. However the fact that there was an initial contract that would get me, to a ready to sell place, is. Obviously an increased contract would do that & more.
Rather than state what they did or didn't do, I'm just going to post some photos and videos of what they left me with. As of a week ago, I was told that they were done with the project and that I had shorted them $500. There is $500 left to pay, however my landscape is far from sale ready. My hope is that they will agree to finish, but if not, I guess I learned that withholding $500 is not enough to get this company to honor their words. read more
