Ricardo was recommended to me by my contractor and we are glad he did. We had a blank slate and…read moreweren't sure what to plant perennials vs annuals so we bought only a few of each plus some evergreens and Ricardo's crew out down some top soil and a weed barrier planted our flowers as best possible. He removed two larger trees that were only half growing and placed red mulch to complete the look. He even sculpted around some shrubs that give an great impression. I would highly recommend him.

Five Stars Just Aren't Enough!…read more I recently had the pleasure of working with Ricardo's Landscaping in Poughkeepsie, NY for a full spring clean-up on my 2-acre property, and I honestly can't say enough good things. Ricardo and his team went above and beyond--edging, trimming, and laying down beautiful sweet peet mulch that brought my gardens to life. My property has never looked this good. The transformation was nothing short of magical. Strangers have literally knocked on my door to compliment the landscaping! It's as if Ricardo poured the love from his heart right into my yard. Every flower bed, every edge--perfection. You can truly feel the care and pride in his work. If you want your property to look spectacular and be cared for with true passion, Ricardo is your guy. I'm already looking forward to working with him again. Highly, highly recommend!

I cannot say enough about Gabe and his team, In May of this year we needed landscaping and we…read morecalled on some of the big landscaping company. One of the companies gave us 3 names of smaller companies ine of them being Gabe. He was the first one we called. He was so respectful and and knowledgeable but did not push himself. We told him we are meeting2 more people and than we will make our decision. As soon as we met the other 2 one was more expensive and was about the same but he was a little less. I we went with our gut feeling the kind not pushy landsccaper. He finished the project one day sooner than it was promised. You never saw a mess all of his workers were quiet and peaceful. Just a clean group of guys. Since May we have used Gabe to cut trees and do so much in our property. We are so greatful to have met him and have him as part of our happy pretty Home. We recommend him with our highest regards. Be aware once he works for you you will just want to do more and more. Just makes everything beautiful. Lili D

Marty is a true handyman, and a really nice guy…read more We have an apartment that's...old. So it has a few things that always need fixing up. And I'll be honest, the handyman we usually work with was booked up for months. It actually seemed like all the handymen were. (There's a pandemic out there, and apparently everyone's taking the time to fix up their home.) Marty let me know that he was busy too, and that he was taking some time to spend with his family (and you can't begrudge someone being a good family man). But he was willing to do the work when he was free, which is all we could ask. I also appreciate how he operates. He'd prefer to get photos/video of what the problems were so he can give you an accurate estimate before even setting foot in the place (saves everyone time), and so he can show up with all the materials necessary (saves everyone time and money). His website is also pretty comprehensive; it lists all the things he does, who he is, how he works, and shows work he's done. That's how I found him, and I'm glad I did. I also like that he's willing to admit what he can't do (in our case, it was more involved electrical work). Some folks claim they can do anything, and will do a less than ideal job; Marty will just recommend someone who he's worked with and can vouch for. In any case, we had a few odd jobs that needed doing, and once Marty let me know when he was available, he was on time, and efficient. He did quality work. I thought the pricing was fair for his time and labor, and I would hire him again. That's really all you can ask from a handyman.

It can be tough to find a handyman/contractor for projects, and even tougher to find one willing to…read moretake on small projects. I was pleased to learn about Marty and HV Handyman from a Yelp review, and even more pleased that the review was written by someone from Yelp I actually know in person. Marty is professional yet casual, a nice combination. He was always quick to get back to me when I contacted him in advance of the work, always in less than 24 hours. When I initially sent him a description of the work and a photo, he got back right away with his estimates of time and materials, and cost. Along the way, he was proactive when it came to things unexpected or little adds. For example, he discovered rodent damage on some of my electrical wires, and he immediately offered to take care of that. Within an hour, he had gone and returned to the local Home Depot with the extra materials to address the issue, and the add-in to the overall cost was again reasonable. He did 99% of the cleanup as well, leaving me with about 5 minutes of work to wipe off some dust after he completed the spackling, sanding, and painting. Marty also doesn't over-book, and he is again up front with what he can and cannot do. I've already discussed another project or two I'd like him to tackle once warmer weather has returned. I only hope he hasn't been swamped with additional work requests based on positive word-of-mouth and word-of-Yelp.

If you're looking for a window guy in the Hudson Valley, you can stop looking. You've found Dave at…read moreHudson Valley Windows & Siding. I can't express to you what a pleasure it is to deal with him. He's super honest, super personable (has stories for days), and does amazing work. I wish I could say he did some of that amazing work for me, but it's a weird story: Our annoying HOA forces us to keep appearances up with our neighbors. Everything has to be just so, and our windows needed to be energy efficient. Our windows already looked great, but I have to abide by the HOA or else. So I called up Dave to get a quote on how much it would cost to upgrade the windows. We had a great conversation, he knew the area, and the sort of job, and like I said, he was an absolute pleasure to talk to. We picked a day, and he said he'd check it out and give me a quote. After he went out there to take a look, he asked if I wanted to the good news or the bad news. The Good News: The windows were already super energy efficient. He knows because he had put them in himself for the previous tenant a few years back. What a coincidence! The Bad News: He wasn't going to make any money on this job. Which, if you're paying attention, you may realize was also really good news for me. Dave could've just straight up done the job again and made more money (as some dishonest folks would've), but instead but he got a laugh out of me, and a customer for life. I will be calling him for every window job from here on out, and I think you should too.

Our experience with HV Windows Doors and Siding started with a phone call to Dave, we setup an…read moreappointment and met the next week. As with every type of appointment for construction services you normally enter into a conversation hesitant wondering who is this guy, and will he give me a good price, a good job, stand behind work, or just give me a crappy job and run with my money, never to be heard from again. We've all heard the stories. Dave arrived at my home, introduced himself and we talked at great length about our siding project, and he did a walk around the home just to evaluate the job. He came back in, did a little figuring on a piece of paper, and gave us a price on the spot. While we knew not what to expect about the cost, we were somewhat surprised as it seemed a little over what we had budgeted. We talked a little longer and he explained in great detail what was needed and what he was going to do, he explained the funding and how it would work and he left. We thanked him for his time, his explanations, and his proposal and told him we would be in touch. After Dave left my wife and I sat down and discussed the project, the cost, and the timeline, as we wanted to get the project done before September this year. You know that everyone says, "Never take the first proposal, get prices, get multiple proposals, etc". We didn't know what it was exactly, but my wife and I both felt really good about our visit with Dave and so we decided to call him back the next day and enter into a contract. Not to make this review to long, the project was scheduled and actually took place a week earlier than expected. Dave anticipated a 5 day project, and they finished up in 4 days. His guys were like busy bees, only stopping for a 30 minute lunch break each day. Very professional, knew their profession, and did not need constant oversite. Dave's supervisor on the job Louis knew the job and knew the timeline and was sure to make it happen. While Dave was on the site almost every day, I think he thinks of himself as the cleanup crew picking up and taking garbage almost every day. There was no language barrier between the workers and me, and everyone on the job was eager to please. Dave made every effort to assure that the finished project was worthy of our praise, even adding a few things not originally negotiated in the contract. While the project was not considered a large project, it had alot of intricate details that took extra time to work around. My wife and I cannot express enough our level of satisfaction with Dave and his guys. They did what they said they would do, and most likely more that we didn't even know about. Great job, great contractor, and great value for the money. The project was worth every penny spent. I see now why much of Dave's business is return customers. We would/will certainly use him again if the need arises. Not to lengthen this review longer I would only like to add, that Dave is human, he is not a robot and his speech is not rehearsed. We learned alot about his family, his dogs, etc. and we felt he was true to form, just a good guy to work with. Highly recommend. (So much for not making this review too long, oh well) Tom and Alice P.

Was told by another pool guy that I had a leak in the line from the filter and that I should call…read moresomeone to locate the leak. Once it was located, he could come back and fix it (quote $4 - 5K to repair). Called PV Pros to come out to look for the leak. The service tech, Justin, told me there was NO LEAK and that the filter just needed to have the air released, which he did. Filter operates fine. After the 7/4 storms, the pool water turned green. Not inviting to swim in. After trying a few remedies that didn't work, I called the store and Tim suggested I bring in a H2O sample to figure out what the problem could be. After he did the test, he told me it was metals in the water and gave me the correct additives and explained how to fix the problem. Following those instructions now. Tim also said that he will do another H2O test next week to make sure everything returns to normal. I don't know whether PV Pros rate is/was competitive but when you have a positive experience with a company, sometimes any extra cost is well worth it! I will now have PV Pros do all the servicing on my pool.

When on the search for a pool company to service our pool on a weekly basis, we first looked into…read moreRainbow Pools as we have used them for a variety of services, but they had a lengthy waitlist. A quick Yelp search and Request-a-Quote later and I found Precise Vision Pros who quickly responded with what I felt was a reasonable quote for summer services. I really love this company. I've had some issues with other folks that have serviced our property in the past (we rent out our home and do not live close by) but this summer has been a breeze with Precise Vision Pros. They are always prompt to respond to my emails and are so courteous when it comes to processing payments. While they do ask that you pay half up front, I had arranged services well in advance of the summer and they kindly allowed me to pay that deposit in early May rather than February. Beyond the amazing Sara with whom I've been in regular contact about services each week, I must note the quality of services overall. Each time we've visited, I'm happy with the water quality and vacuuming. They are always on top of any incoming weather that might affect the pool and arrange visits accordingly. I also love that they provided complimentary critter life savers (floats that save lives of unsuspecting frogs and small animals that might have fallen into the pool). Sadly, I'm moving after this season, and I'll really miss working with this company. They really were lifesavers for us this summer!
