Larry was great the first few times he came. I gave him 4 months notice for this last job and he…read morekept us waiting for 7 months rather than putting us into his schedule when requested. I didn't care because he'd been great previously and I thought he'd be worth waiting for. When he came to take measurements and all of that, he gave a long speech about how he had to be here when his sheet rock crew were scheduled to come and explained why, but he never showed up on that day. When he did come, he complained how he was losing money on the job, but he'd come up with the quote, which we'd borrowed money to honor. I have pictures of the horrific job he did. How do you send in a sheet rock guy who does a great job ahead of you, and ruin fresh sheetrock? He managed to do just that. There are lumps, bumps, sections that look like popcorn, and worse. I respectfully contacted him to come fix the work. That was 6 months ago. Never heard back. Don't pay him until you've inspected the work, no matter what kind of song and dance you get because you'll never see him. $4100 down the drain. We've had to fix everything little by little and some areas can't be fixed unless we were to tear down the sheetrock and start all over again. NOT a happy customer.

Matthew came and looked at it and recommended a pressure treated fence to match the rest of the deck. He looked closely at it, took pictures and did an absolutely beautiful job.

I would definitely call again for any construction projects and would highly recommend.

Quality of paving appears to be decent. Communication with the company is terrible. The job began…read moreby Maple Leaf, unannounced, leaving machinery in our driveway, assuming we would not need the space for several days. We did not even know they were planning to start until coming home to equipment in our driveway. Then, equipment broke down on first day of actual work, rendering our drive blocked for 2 days. This after no-showing the initial start date. The project manager was MIA for over a week without any communication, just unreachable. They eliminated part of the job without discussion, which was the right decision but did not reduce price and was not even a conversation. The project manager offered free sealing to accommodate for the inconveniences and lack of communication. Once the job was complete, he insisted they could only be paid cash/Venmo, despite having my paid-in-full check in hand. He stated his bank was unable to process a deposit due to another large deposit from a separate job. It made no sense, but I wanted to be kind. After being paid in full via Venmo, he requested I recall the payment to avoid fees. After several weeks of back and forth, awaiting my refund from Venmo, I paid him cash. He assured me the company would be in touch to schedule promised sealing. There was no call. I reached out, attempting to schedule the sealing. They completely ghosted me, only responding when threats of contacting BBB were made. They never sealed the drive. The process began well (seemed trustworthy), but ended with a feeling of having been ripped off and repeatedly lied to.

The wall was done quickly and the quality is good per our building inspector, though he did say there were a few things he would've done differently. It is warrantied for 5 years. Shortly after the wall was finished, I provided the final payment with the understanding the job would be finished the following day. Two months later, after rescheduling 5 times for​ many reasons, the driveway patch was done yesterday. They resealed the driveway for free for our inconvenience. I paid $9500 for all work done. I will let the pictures speak for themselves.

I hired Austin to replace and then stain new cedar boards on a 16' X 24' deck. He was meticulous, thorough, conscientious, flexible with my schedule, punctual, and the job was done within the time he allotted. Austin came recommended by friends so I knew I didn't have to worry about giving him access to my home or property. He took great care with my place and belongings, always cleaned up after his work, and left no messes. Austin is professional but is also open to discuss any aspect of the job if you happen to be a person who likes to have things explained, as I do. Throughout the job he was patient and thorough in the pursuit of a great outcome, and he delivered exactly that: a beautiful new deck, stably reinforced, stained and protected, which shows off his excellent work. I highly recommend Austin for any work within the scope of services he offers. I've worked with many contractors over the years. Austin's integrity and commitment to quality as a tradesperson sets him apart. You'd be lucky to hire him.

Our experience with Eugene at Pioneer Valley Handyman was disappointing. We are stationed overseas…read moreand needed some work done for our tenant in our rental. After we agreed on a price, things changed once he arrived. He added work without gaining approval first. In fact, we had told him in writing that the tenant might ask for more work to be done, but we were not authorizing it. He did it anyway and charged us. He was also not transparent about disposal fees until he was already on site and there wasn't much we could do about it. Not only did he lack transparency, but his overall professionalism was lacking. We had to ask, multiple times for an invoice for our records. The invoice terms stated Net 30 but he began harassing us to pay the invoice via text and email within hours of sending the invoice.
