His company is one that was recommended by Angi and honestly now I am skeptical of Angi and will never use them again either after this experience. We wanted trek stairs going from the patio to a side door and pavers all around as the patio. Gramarossa are not professionals. The guys they hire seem to be randomly plucked off the street as they have no clue what they were doing. I should have known because when I spoke to Ben he said they did not do trek steps, only masonry. I set an appointment anyway because I figured maybe I can hire someone else to do my trek steps. Yet when he spoke to my husband a few days later (I was at work) he said they do them. It was a disaster from the moment the backyard pavers were laid out. The whole thing was literally slanted sideways by probably 10-15 degrees. In fact the next day the whole thing had to take down and redone. Ben claimed it happened unfortunately because he was not watching his men because he was too busy shopping for our trek materials. The trek steps was done by a man from an entirely different company. It seems they have hired him separately on the side to do it so they can have our business... and it was a SHOTTY job. Ben and his father was watching the man do the work and never said anything about how terrible it was... until we brought it up and they agreed it was not up to their standards. So If we were timid and didn't say anything, they would've definitely let it slide. Whatever. I was just glad they fixed everything without putting up a fight. But here's the thing that really made me angry. His men put their materials and mixed concrete on own brand new asphalt done the year prior, with no protection whatsoever so half of our newly done asphalt was sprinkled with dried concrete. Sadly we did not notice it when we paid because there was still dust and debri all thoughout and it was wet (they attempted to clean) so it was hard to see the stains. That is our fault for not noticing. But I'm annoyed because they knew it happened. I captured the entire thing on my ring camera where they were cleaning and the worker called Ben and his father over to show him the stains that did not come out. They stayed there for a long time trying to clean but it did not come out. No one said a word to us. I contacted Ben via text a week or so later after noticing the huge stains to which he denied it happened and that the stains came out. He said he will come by to power wash it to see if it would come out. We told him we tried. He said he will come by nonetheless but of course never showed up. He said his asphalt guy is not answering and is busy. That was the last of that. So... don't be cheap and hire these guys. I wish I had not.

Darius is currently renovating my entire rented home. This has got to be the best contractor I have…read moreever worked with. Darius takes his time explaining to me everything he is going to do and when he will do it. He asked us what we wanted and that's what we got. Yes, he had plans drawn up by an architect but came to us to ask about areas we may have wanted to have modified or changed. (Not only is Darius the contractor; he's the new landlord too. He bought the home last year and began renovating it right away.) His crew is 5 stars. These guys really know what they are doing. It's a pleasure just watching them work, they are like a well-oiled machine each one complimenting the others expertise. He put in a stand-up shower with a granite bench along with a separate shower and full-size tub. And of course, he put everything else needed to complete the bathroom. He took down the wall that separated the kitchen and living and turned it into an Open Floor Plan. The kitchen has a granite Island, all stainless steel appliances and a nice deep sink with an excellent faucet. Not to mention the gorgeous cherry wood cabinets and pocket lighting. He added a bedroom and 3 more closets. One bedroom we are using as our office and another as a studio for Trish my girlfriend; she's an award-winning artist (we're in our 15th year, no marriage in the works; we've both been there and done that). We are also using the studio as a music room for me; I'm a pretty good keyboard player. Not only did he do the inside, he added all brand new Anderson windows and vinyl sided the entire house. He redid the parking lot from a great big patch of dirt to a beautiful huge bluestone lot behind the house with, of course, a new driveway to boot. How about 3 patios with a beautiful fence separating two of them that are next to each other. This home also houses two other apartments in it that (could you believe it) he redid as well! We used to have this tiny little cellar. Now it's huge. He and his bulldozer (Bobcat) actually dug a path into my cellar for the Bobcat to come in from and they dug down around two feet and enlarged it by about 300 square feet. The Bobcat actually drove in and out of the basement with loads of dirt digging it out to make the ceiling higher. He put in a laundry room and 3 separate storage rooms; one for each apartment. He converted it from oil to gas and added 3 gas units with 3 hot water heaters. He told us we will never run out of hot water. What else can I say? I'll let the photos do the talking!

I had a very unusual experience with Basic Landscaping. I hired them to plant trees and shrubs on…read moremy property and signed a contract for $53K. When they were done, they charged me additional $2300 for planting extra plants, which was never discussed with me before it was allegedly done. Nevertheless, I paid additional money without saying anything. At the end Basic asked me if I wanted to sign a maintenance contract. I declined because it was very expensive considering the amount of work being proposed, required inclusion of lawn maintenance (I do that myself), and also had language regarding dumping yard waste on my property. The biggest issue I had with Basic was that they planted the wrong trees and refused to replace them. The centerpiece of my landscape design were three trees with bright yellow and red leaves. Basic planted a green leaf variety of the same tree, completely ruining my landscape design intent. When I complained about this, during the warranty period, Basic initially tried blaming me since I did not sign a maintenance contract, probably assuming I was too ignorant to figure out what happened. When that argument did not fly, they tried blaming the plant material supplier, which again had nothing to do with a $53K planting contract I had with Basic. Finaly, after many months of stalling, they said that I complained too late. I understand that sometimes mistakes happen, however I found it unusual that a contractor who made a mistake would aggressively attack me, in writing, and refuse to do anything to correct a problem. Additional to the problems described above, another Basic proposal, to address the lawn flooding issue, had a ridiculous solution - move the water from one end of the lawn to another, and the proposed price was incredibly high considering it involved two guys with shovels for a day.
