We hired Little Dutch Landscaping in the spring of 2012 to install a patio, outside fireplace,…read morewalks and retaining walls. We saw the work that this company did at a friend's house on a large retaining wall and I was impressed. Our project was done when he said it would be and at the quoted price. In the past five years, we had two times that we asked for Little Dutch Landscaping to return, first with the slate over the fireplace where Little Dutch modified it to make it stronger and we have had no problems since. The second warranty work occurred in June 2017, when the retaining wall shifted due to the way the driveway was put in when the house was built. Little Dutch came out and spent 3 days repairing the wall which is perfect now. To say I was impressed with customer care is an understatement. The owner and his wife are very easy to talk too, do what they say and they have invested in the equipment to get the job done. We plan on hiring them in the next year or two to do our front walk and another retaining wall.

In the last few weeks of my father's life, I was tasked with caring for his home, which was in need…read moreof various repairs and did not have spouting. The house is large and historic, so this was a bigger project than what I was used to. With my father in a nursing home, I met with the various spouting contractors and presented my father the proposals to review and ultimately decide who he wanted to go with. Zephyr Thomas was one of three spouting contractors. One of the others was a contractor I had used personally at my home with a good results. That gentleman was very personable and friendly and very open to all my questions, as well as easy to reach. I did not feel like I was a bother or made to feel stupid for asking questions. Personally, that would have been the contractor I would have chosen, but my father chose Zephyr Thomas. They were the highest in price. I thought the proposal process was very impersonal. I didn't meet with anyone initially and the price was based loosely off a google earth image of the house. It wasn't until I insisted that a picture is not going to capture the problems that Brad (one of the owners) went out. I had questions that I felt were best to be answered in person and that was the first time I actually met anyone there. Brad spoke to my dad once on the phone during that meeting and went to the house again to confirm something - making sure to mention he'd been there "multiple times now", which I felt was almost a jab. Otherwise, Brad was polite and satisfied my dad's questions. They had the design dad liked the best so that's who we hired. I will add that their showroom is gorgeous and quite impressive and would recommend anyone considering them to see the materials in person. When it came down to signing the actual work contract and dropping off the check dad's health had declined. He was in the hospital the day I was to drop it off and hospice was recommended. I had a million things on my mind and didn't feel that a day or two would make that much of a difference since it was early Feb and the work wasn't scheduled till late April. However, Brad insisted and came to my house to pick up the check saying that he wanted to be sure I was "locked in" before material costs went up. He was kind and polite when he picked up the check, but I did feel he had poor timing given the situation. Sadly, dad passed two days later, which the company was aware of but no one reached out. I felt like I was the one making more of an effort after the contract was signed to find out what was expected from me, the timeline, and scheduling. They could have been a little more hands on, like they were when they came to pick up the check. I checked on the crew twice during installation and they were friendly, they followed my instructions to leave anything that I could scrap and even carried it to my scrap pile. They left the premises clean. There was two crews and I did have to call to follow up as the work went longer than anticipated. A comment was made about how the old guys (the one guy was 70!) make up their own hours. The end result does look a bit strange to me with double gutters, and maybe that was the most effective design, although not aesthetically pleasing. It doesn't look as integrated as the spouting at my house. I mentioned this to the receptionist when I paid the final bill and she said she'd let Brad know. Whether or not he inspected the final project I don't know and haven't heard from them since. Not a horrible experience, but not warm and fuzzy either. People skills could be improved, especially for someone in my situation. But the job is completed, the gutters do what they're supposed to, and the workers cleaned up, so for that reason I feel a 4 star review is justified.

I worked with a designer that came to my house, they made sure everything in my yard was what I wanted, and then even offered to come out and maintain it after the installation.

The plants come with a one year warranty, which is pretty great. My yard looks great, I enjoyed it all summer, and can wait until next year to enjoy it again!

Our Kitchen Project: (Just Completed)…read more My wife and I had been wanting to have our kitchen remodeled for several months. When it finally came time to do it, we started going through the process of trying to find the right contractor for the project. We spent several weeks researching until we came across Yorklyn Construction. Once we met Ben, we felt like the search was over. The advice, detailed thought he put into our plans brought a sense of comfort to us. The quotes were fair and where we hoped they would be. Starting with Ben, our experience fanned out to the rest of folks working for Yorklyn. Tom, who managed our project, was absolutely in touch with our thoughts as the project transitioned from demo to the "rebuild". He did a better job of "detail nitpicking" than I could have. From the beginning they stated it clearly, "we want it done right for you." They certainly lived up to that and exceeded it. The carpentry work with the cabinets they constructed all the way down to the floor thresholds / transitions were perfect, and I mean perfect. I'm sure a lot of contractors hold similar standards, but where Yorklyn pulls ahead is with how they treat your property, residence and your family. You become a bit more than a customer. If you are looking at having some work done, I hope you give these folks a look. I'm sure you will end up where my wife and I are. (Incredibly happy customers!)

To Whom This May Concern:…read more Typically, we are not people that post reviews. Oh, if we really don't like something we have been known to speak up directly to the company. We have to have very strong feelings to post in a public forum. After all, saying something about a person's lively hood should not be taken lightly. Often people are quick to criticize and slow to praise. We would like to change that. We have a house that was in need of updates and repairs. We also where in desperate need of storage. We invited several companies to come by and tell us what they thought and to give us a bid. Two companies that came by and told us the project was too big for them and no bid the project. Finally, it came down to two companies from the area, Yorklyn Construction being one. Yorklyn shot straight with us. They told us the truth, not what they thought we wanted to hear. The bids came in pretty close but Yorklyn impressed us with their candor and professionalism which gave us confidence that once they agreed to something they would meet their commitments. We were told that the process would be long (several months) and that we would basically be living in a construction site. Like I stated, they shot straight with us and it was a big project. Side note, they did everything they could to minimize any discomfort and were respectful that this was our home. We did have hiccup's but Yorklyn's staff and the sub-contractors where great. In a project this size there are hundreds of small decisions, but I can honestly say that everyone involved looked out for our best interests. If they thought we were making a wrong choice, they spoke up. For example, we chose the color of grout for the shower in a showroom. The tile guy put in the tile but thought we made a mistake with the color of the grout. He didn't just go and let us make a mistake. Instead he spoke up and brought it to our attention. He and the project manager discussed it with us and made suggestions that we elected to follow and are happier for that decision. We had a similar experience with their painter. Trust me things look different in a sample catalog or a showroom than in your house. I also wanted to say that their carpenters are great and their cabinet guy is amazing, very skilled and exact, a true craftsman. Our cabinets are just wonderful. We can also tell you that on the rare occasion that we did express displeasure, they made it right and when a problem was our fault, they were fair. Several of the Yorklyn staff and sub-contractors feel like friends. We have very warm feelings for these people. We have grown to trust them. Not only would we recommend them, we will call upon them in the future when we need skilled professional trades people. Often in business "quality "is defined as meeting or exceeding a customer's expectations, in our book, Yorklyn's work and the people that make up this company are the definition of quality. Sincerely, Sandy and Garry Stewartstown, PA
