Most definitely a five star operation here. My family and I had no complaints about the job that…read morewas done today. First of all the crew arrived promptly at 8:00AM. We were initially given a window so we were delighted to be the first job of the day. There was a massive tree in our yard. So massive that neighbors finally became annoyed with the overhang of vines and weeds so it had to come down. The crew came prepared with all manner of tree cutting and disposal machinery and tools. The whole system involved several trucks that took up a good portion of the street. These guys were thorough and professional. Several cars had to be moved out of the way one of which was dead. No problem. They jumped it and moved it as well as another for a disabled neighbor and when the job was done they put the cars back in their original spaces. They cleaned constantly throughout the process. Living in a row home meant most of the trunk had to be carried out through the house. They handled that part just as well. Do read your contract, they spell out many specifics like how much of the trunk of our tree could be cut down because it had begun to grow into the fence. This should make clear your expectations. Highly recommended.

I advise looking elsewhere for a reputable contractor.

And he was even responsive via text which made this whole process even easier than call after call. Definitely recommend his business. He takes is seriously and acts with professionalism and genuine concern for his clients for a reasonable price, which is all you could ever ask for.

They were on par with everyone else, maybe a little cheaper, but their turn-around time and availability were better. They were also able to re-use some of my stone which brought the cost down a little. They had an entire retaining wall with new steps done in less than a week, and it looks great. When we wanted the walkway put in a year later, we went right back to them. They also honored another local company's offer to plant two memorial trees next to the walkway at no cost, which I very much appreciated. They will continue to be the first place I go to get quotes.

I contacted three companies to give me estimates on paining half of the rooms in my house and the…read moreshed out back. All three companies gave cost estimates very close to the same amount. My 65 year old row home had wall paper to remove, cracks to fill and newly installed quarter round to caulk and seal. Not an easy job because of all the prep work to be done. The guys who walked through my house from AKF exuded confidence at every turn, making me believe they were experienced dealing with the challenges they would face, so I hired them. They asked for a 50% deposit which gave me some concern. I should have negotiated that down to a lower amount. They said they could finish in 4 days. Day one was all about wall paper removal. They finished that very quickly, then the guys left after being there only a few hours. On day 2, I expected a lot of surface prep with a steam machine to melt away glue residue and a longer presence, a full day of work. I was minding my own business and didn't see what they were doing until they had left for the day, again they were only there about a half day. I went through the house and found a lot of walls had been painted without any effort to remove glue. They had left for the day left before I saw the results of their work. For no good reason at all, baseboards and the new quarter round I just had installed, had been removed from the main floor all around. There was paint on unprepared walls and a lot of cracks had been painted over with no spackle, so they showed through the paint. I messaged the owner of the business and sent a lot of pictures and expressed my concern as I had made a 50% deposit. To their credit, they sent a different crew and the owner came to the site herself. They started removing glue with the right equipment and made a point of showing me the results periodically. They went through the house and were doing surface prep at some areas that were missed previously. It's really hard to fix something that was not done correctly from the start but they were determined and pressed forward. The work went on for over a week. The end result was something that looks decent from a distance but if you inspect closely there are still a lot of flaws. Un-sanded spackled areas mostly on ceilings, old cracking paint that was not scraped or smoothed, just painted over, and cut in areas at wall to ceiling corners where coverage was not good if you look closely under bright lighting. They hired my handy man to fix the baseboards because apparently they know how to remove it, but were not equipped or prepared to reinstall it. There were several broken pieces needed replacing and I already had some spare. That baseboard work wasn't finished when they declared the project complete. I walked through the house again taking pictures of flaws. They returned again and worked to improve things, and they did make it look better, covering most of the flaws from my photographs. The owner really cares about their reputation and tried very hard to make sure I was satisfied. They also gave me a discount because there were so many problems but that was a small consolation. The project took way longer than advertised and got off to a very rocky and unprofessional start. I expected better overall performance for the money paid. I would hire them again if it was for a rental property and no difficult surface prep to do, but this project was to prepare my home to be sold. If my untrained eye can see flaws, then any perspective buyer will also see those things. I hoped for better. Although I accepted the job as completed, the end results were just OK.

I know it's like a joke getting contactors in but it's not terribly funny when it happens to you. The quality of the work was 5 stars. no ifs ands or buts. hole fixed, ceiling painted no fuss no muss no mess. It looks great. The office paperwork side was less so. it was a 2 maybe a 3. It was hard to get an estimate, e-mails sent were apparently missed, the office staff was disorganized- and I'm being polite. it was disorganized to the point I felt like they didn't want my business. and setting a date for the work was only marginally less stressful than Noah booking seats on the ark. When the workmen showed up, they had no work order, I got no receipt or anything at all, and they barely spoke English leading to a few misunderstandings. So the work was absolutely first rate but my God, it was a challenge getting it going.

Absolutely ridiculous experience. Left multiple messages and even contacted via website form for an…read moreactive water penetration crack in my poured concrete foundation wall. When someone did call me back, I was driving and set up a time for an appointment and asked that she call me or email the appointment date and time. Never happened. Called several more times and nothing. I wasn't even living in the property in question and it was sheer coincidence that when a guy showed up to give an estimate, I happened to be at the property. It was for a crack in a poured concrete foundation wall. The guys solution was to address the crack, but then also break the poured concrete pad and basically put in a drainage pit. If you're at all familiar with Radon remediation - WORST IDEA EVER. And, totally unnecessary if you fix the crack properly. And to boot, the price was outrageous. Given the effort of just getting them through the door and their "fix one problem, but worsen another" approach (the radon), we found someone else who fixed the crack without disturbing the floor and it was perfectly repaired with no leaks in the heavy rains since that would've normally caused the crack to pass water. About 2 weeks after their estimator was there, the owner (I imagine) of the company called and asked if they could set up an appointment to come out and give a quote. Seriously? I gave him an earful. Would never use them. My recommendation: find a mason like I did.
