A little over a year ago, these guys removed a number of trees from my neighbor's property and in…read morethe process damaged two of my trees including a 50 ft red oak and a smaller maple. I consulted an aroborist, and after giving the tree some time he came to the conclusion that the tree was not able to be saved. I asked Arbor Lawn to remove the tree free of charge. I could've asked for them to replace it, but I didn't. They told me that the company had changed ownership and all they could do was give me a discount. I accepted a 20% discount figuring it wasn't these people's fault as it happened under previous ownership, and this was likely the best offer I was going to get. Well, when they came out to remove the tree (that they killed, that I loved), the same guy that mortally wounded my tree in the first place shows up to do the job. My neighbor even recognized him. Despite having an entire open field to one direction of the tree for it to safely fall on, instead he sends the top of the tree falling the other direction damaging a newly planted red bud tree. I will never use or recommend Arbor Lawn. Their work crews are reckless. I honestly feel like I've been taken advantage of.

We have hired MD Handyman multiple times and are always satisfied with the cost / value proposition…read moreand outcome. The first job they did for us was remove an old sliding glass door and install a new one. This job was much more involved than I expected (I know because I watched them do it!) but they worked steadily and diligently to get the job done. The framing wasn't an exact fit but they did their best to make adjustments for the previous molding to match the newly installed door. They went above and beyond the quoted job to address any concerns I had (including some that were me not communicating my wants adequately) and never up-charged without consent and a clear explanation. Based on our experience with the door installation, we hired them for a round of additional jobs several months later that included: - power washing the exterior of our house - cleaned our gutters - correcting the installation of a roof exhaust vent (initially installed by someone else) - repairing / replacing various bits of rotten wood / woodpecker damaged wood on the exterior of our home - repairing / replacing various deck boards - re-painting our deck - address concerns of leaking pipes in a guest room over our garage - fixing a broken exterior light fixture - fixing a broken interior light fixture - fixing various bits of molding around our garage door - patching various holes / cracks in our driveway / exterior area around where we have a lot of water drainage, pursuant to supporting said drainage - having a load of junk hauled away - having some toppers installed on some hand-rails on our back deck - repairing / repainting all of the wooden shutters on our house (I think they did 20 of them) While we had to work to understand each other, they had an employee who was fluent in English to help translate whenever the discussion required it. We exchanged lots of photos (I probably sent 27, the more the better to help them understand the requests) before meeting in person to confirm the work list and an initial estimate. We also extensively e-mailed throughout the course of the job. I get a little wordy (can you tell?) but they were always patient and polite with me. On our first job we provided the materials, on this job they sourced the materials. There were additional (expected, no surprises) costs for the materials. They did a great job sourcing materials including having paint mixed to match as best the store could. For some of the job (such as the concerns of leaking pipes) they actually talked me down from having extensive work done (the problem was not as bad as I thought). They could have just done what I asked and charged more but instead they essentially talked themselves out of work, which really underlines how honest they feel. We are really satisfied with all the work they've done and will continue to use them. I think it is possible to find a service with more exacting standards, and I'm sure that service charges top-dollar as well. MD Handyman strikes the right balance between cost and quality to continue getting all of our home-repair work for the foreseeable future.

This experience was unexpected, especially since I had previously used Miguel's services to install…read moreseveral cameras, and that transaction went very smoothly. Approximately one year later, I contacted the company to have the cameras reset, as I did not have a ladder tall enough to reach them, and to install an under-cabinet ducted vent hood. The microwave previously installed in that location had already been removed, the duct opening was prepared for the vent hood installation, a 120V receptacle was already in place, and no electrical work was required. All of this was explained before the job was accepted, and I confirmed the quoted cost for both services on two separate occasions. Unfortunately, there were several instances where Miguel did not arrive for scheduled appointments and failed to notify me that he would not be coming. This continued for approximately a week and a half until he unexpectedly arrived one day. He successfully reset the cameras; however, when it came time to install the vent hood, he stated, "The office quoted me the wrong price, and I charge $250 per hour because I am a technician." He also mentioned that his teenage daughter had accompanied him. I had not hired or agreed to pay for an additional person to assist with the work. Miguel then refused to complete the installation at the quoted price and requested an additional amount equal to 100% increase of the original quote, effectively doubling the cost. I declined and paid only for the camera reset service that had been completed. I am disappointed by the lack of professionalism and poor communication. Had there been unforeseen issues or additional work required, I would have understood. However, that was not the case here. If there was a pricing discrepancy, it should have been communicated before the appointment, giving me the opportunity to decide whether to proceed. Increasing the price on the day of service, without justification, is not a professional business practice. Based on my experience and some of the other reviews I have read, this appears to be a recurring issue. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this company.

We had to fire our first contractor for a project that involved converting an attached 1 car garage…read moreto become heated living space and put a second floor addition over that garage. We brought S and A in and they got to work pretty quickly. In addition to the work noted above, we also had a covered front porch along the front of the house added along with a new (pavers) sidewalk to replaced the busted up 50 year old concrete with a parking pad adjacent to the street. The HVAC was replaced and upgraded, an outdoor kitchen was added off the back with a new roof and stone work. The old "dutch" roof that came down over the second floor exterior wall was straightened and covered in Hardiplank. There were modifications made, there were some delays with the timing/arrival of materials, but nothing significant. We transformed a 50 year old house by adding 800+ feet of heated living space, a massive covered front porch with lights and fans, and an extremely large (14' x 25") covered outdoor kitchen with lights, fans, a sink, and a gas grill. It looks like a completely different home. Our one massive project was actually 6 big projects rolled up into one. We are quite happy with the results. The complexity and scale of it meant it would not be quick and easy as it involved having to deal with all the 'behind the drywall' infrastructure, electrical, HVAC, gas, and plumbing. All has been completed and we are quite pleased with Ed and his team.

We had a pipe leak that started in a closet and quickly turned into far more work than we ever expected. What began as a small issue became a full first-floor restoration -- new flooring throughout, drywall replacement, painting, and new trim. Needless to say, it was a much bigger project than we were prepared for. We initially hired another restoration company and spent over a month struggling to get updates and track down invoices. They even told us we didn't need to replace our bedroom carpet -- but when Carolina Restoration took over, they immediately recommended replacing it to properly mitigate the risk of mold. We are SO thankful they did. That level of attention and care made all the difference!! From day one, the Carolina Restoration team made the entire process seamless and organized. Our project manager, Sam, was personable, knowledgeable, and truly put us at ease throughout. They coordinated with ANS Painting Company, and Alex and his team went above and beyond -- not only repainting walls beautifully but even painting our baseboards to match our kitchen cabinets! The attention to detail was incredible, and our home truly looks better than ever! From start to finish, Carolina Restoration exceeded every expectation. They kept us informed, prioritized our comfort, and somehow created a sense of normalcy while our home was under construction. We are endlessly grateful to Sam, Alex, and both teams for their professionalism, kindness, and thoroughness. You won't find a better restoration company in Raleigh -- seriously, this is your sign to hire Carolina Restoration Services ASAP!!
