We contacted this business to receive a bid on an upcoming project. We were only able to communicate with them via text message initially, because when you call their business line, it requests you text them for faster service. They texted us and told us they would be coming by the next day to give us a bid. Eddy came the next day, as promised, we discussed the project and he stated he would be coming back with his designer/photographer the following week. He stated she would take photos and create a drawing of the finished project, to be sure we would be on the same page. The photographer/designer came several days later, alone, not with Eddy. We discussed the project with her, just as we had Eddy, she stated it usually takes her 2-3 days to complete the drawing and when she was finished, she would email it to us. The next day we received an invoice from her for $85 for the cost of her drawing and various other services she offers, such as, being on scene and managing the project. We assumed the $85 drawing fee would be something added on if we had chosen to use them for our project, otherwise, the bid is not free. Absolutely, NO other companies we contacted for bids attempted to charge us for their bid or the plans for the completed project. Obviously, this didn't feel right to us, but we thought maybe we misunderstood the designer, so we would wait for the bid and consider Hernandez Lawn/Landscape along with the other bids we received. Unfortunately, 10 days later, we still had no drawings, no photos and no bid. We contacted them, via text message, of course, to ask if they were still interested in the project and were going to submit a bid, because we would be making our decision very soon. We were notified that they were still waiting on the drawings, but they should have a bid, "soon." We advised that we would need the bid within 4 days in order to consider them for the project. We still received nothing. We can't help but think the slick way Eddy tells you his "designer" is coming by to take photos, but doesn't mention that person will be charging you for the drawings, is not good business practice. Nor is promising a bid, but never providing one. The other 3 companies we also received FREE bids from came after Eddy's initial visit and they submitted their bids, along with the photos/drawings within 2-3 days, as promised. We waited nearly 2 full weeks and still never received a bid. (Probably because we didn't mail the designer a check.) Needless to say, we think maybe we dodged a bullet in not choosing this company for our job. The organization, communication and lack of submitting anything to us, ever, screams, "I don't want your business." Our advice, contact someone else and avoid the frustration of dealing with what appears to be a very shady ran company. If you have this much trouble, just trying to get a bid on a project, I can't imagine what it might be like dealing with them when issues arise during the actual work. read more
