First we used him for a walkway to our side entrance and the second time for our driveway. Gabrielle has competitive prices, he is honest, and shows up when he says he will. He has creative ideas on designs and doesn't cut any corners. His employees work very hard, were respectful while on the job, and did a great job cleaning up when they completed both projects. I highly recommend you consider using using him. Philip H.

I hired this company to level out my patio/pool pavers which have settled over the years also…read morecausing my hot tub to sit a bit uneven leaving the water level inside a bit higher in one end. The owner shows up on day one with 4 guys. Everyone looks busy. 10 minutes into them showing up I notice one guy starting to sweep polymeric sand around to fill in the gaps between pavers. I asked the owner why he's doing that, the pavers haven't even been leveled yet. That should be the last step. It's a simple trick to make the stones appear more leveled by not being able to see a black gap (lines) between the stones. So he says something to the guy in Portuguese and the guy starts lifting pavers for leveling. The owner left shortly after. By noon they were down to 2 guys. They kept walking around the sunken spots that I pointed out numerous times. They couldn't see any so I had to grab my own level and show them. These were areas that were OBVIOUS to the naked eye as well. The guy gives me a piece of chalk to walk around and mark everything that needs attention. Professionals could do this themselves. Common sense would dictate that a hot tub filled with water is quite heavy thus should sit on a stable and flat surface. The owner said he would level out the hot tub by draining it (I drained it the day before) and leveling the stones underneath. They simply propped up the sunken end of the tub, simply cut some stone to fill in the gap created on the visible side of the tub, for aesthetic purposes. For the non visible sides the guy simply filled in the gap with cement. I called the owner to come by and explain this to me. I asked what the weight was supported by. He said they supported the bottom by filling it with stone (there is nothing underneath my hot tub except a piece of plywood and what appears to be spray foam. I checked). So the tub is basically floating right now. On day two the owners brother shows up by himself. He sweeps polymeric sand around to fill the gaps. The sand used is so coarse that it does not bind. It's all loose and most of it has been washed out by rain and blown around by wind and ended up in the bottom of my pool. The guy left around noon without saying anything and that was the last time anyone showed up. I called out the owner on all this to which he replied he was busy with other jobs. 2 year guarantee or not I would NEVER let these people back on my property again. I was inclined to pursue a refund directly from the owner but I think going through legal channels should yield a better result.

What is interesting is I also got a quote from a chimney place in Congers (the one that has signs everywhere that they were there too). The quote they gave me was a very similar price to the quote Professional gave me, so I was going to use them. But then I saw that quote was just for the rental of a bucket lift,and he told me he was saving me a lot of money because they should actually build a scaffold. The separate quote for the work was 2 1/2 times higher, and the whole quote 3 1/2 times higher. The masons from Professional had no problem safely using a ladder to get up to the chimney.

Will update my review as the work is completed. This is our first major project/renovation and so far we are thrilled to pick Al and his team.

In just 1 service call, Rich and his team went above and beyond to restore our trampoline to 'like new' and since then our kids haven't jumped off for even a second. The service was booked easily and the work was completed efficiently and in a safe and methodical manner. I will gladly be using PWS for future powerwashing needs.

I do not normally take the time to write reviews and I definitely do not enjoy speaking negatively…read moreabout small businesses. However, the poor quality of work and damage to my property caused by Rich / PWS of Bergen County was so abysmal that I felt the need to share these details with other potential customers. Make your own decisions, of course, but ignore my experience at your own peril. During and after completion of the job, there were a number of issues I raised to Rich. He accepted no responsibility for damage caused to my property, ignored the defects that I noted in his work, and was dismissive when I offered him opportunities to make things right. I am including some specific examples here, along with the attached photos, which speak for themselves. 1) Damaged Wood Front Door - PWS used bleach ("SH" or "Sodium Hypoclorite") under pressure to wash my front wood door. The result was that it stripped off some of the polyurethane finishing. Rich said his crew did not wash the front door - however - I have it on video. His proposed solution was to pay him several hundred dollars more to stain parts of my front door --- no thanks, Rich. I was quoted $3,500 by an actual professional to properly fix this damage, which requires sanding and refinishing two large front doors. 2) Unlevel Pavers - Despite paying over $1,600 to relevel a small section of pavers in front of my garage to direct the flow of water away from my home into a drain, what he instead did was create a new area for water to pool, making the problem even worse than when I started - both functionally and visually. When I raised this to Rich, he blamed me for agreeing to do it that way, which I obviously did not do knowingly, and even if it were a misunderstanding, his aggressively defensive response was unprofessional. His suggestion was to pay him more to fix it.  3) Damaged Hardie Board Siding - My #1 concern before having my home washed was to ensure the siding wouldn't get damaged. I discussed this concern with Rich extensively and he assured me that his process used a mix of safe chemicals and a safe level of pressure to avoid damage. When I pointed out the permanent marks on my siding to him, he said they were shadows from nearby trees and that his crew uses horizontal pressure washing strokes, so it couldn't have been him. Of course, I observed his crew making plenty of vertical strokes with high pressure. 4) Damage to Roof - When cleaning the gutters (part of his home wash package), parts of my roofline were pressure washed without my approval. This left the visual impact of having parts of my roof discolored and also washed off some of the shingle granules. When I raised this to Rich, he told me "The guys are up there on your roof fighting for their lives with pressure washers, what do you expect?" His suggestion to correct the defect was to "rub dirt on the clean part" or pay another $700 to wash parts of my roof. 5) Incorrect Application of Polymeric Sand - I paid extra to have my pavers washed and "resanded" with polymeric sand, which when installed correctly is meant to harden. Days after the work was completed, I pointed out to Rich that there were numerous spots that were either very soft or where the polymer had washed away (leaving just plain old sand). He told me a combination of that's how it was supposed to look and that it would continue to harden, which was obviously not correct. A month later, the sand is already failing and has been washed/blown away in multiple places. 6) Plant Damage - Rich told me that they avoid damage to plants by spraying clean water on them before, during and after the chemical / bleach is applied. However, as you can see in the photos (taken over a month after the work), numerous plants and large areas of grass were permanently destroyed. If you've read this far - thank you. As I mentioned above, I don't take pleasure in causing a small  business to lose customers. However, there were simply too many issues with PWS and lost opportunities by Rich to fix them to ignore. The final straw was when I showed the work to another contractor - they were incredulous about how poor the work was. I suspect that Rich will respond to this review and again deny responsibility. Anyway - potential customers, you've been warned.

Last Spring we hired this company to renovate our front lawn. They came & did the work, but we…read morewere not pleased. Our front yard was torn up & not evened out after roto tilling, & there was still a huge amount of thatch left unraked. We called to have them come back. They said it looked good. We said that it did not, and asked them to redo the seeding. They did. When the grass started to come up, we were horrified to find that there were 2 different colors! I placed 2 or 3 phone calls to the company to say that we were very unhappy. Our calls were not returned. I spent all of last Fall re- raking and dethatching my lawn. It was an enormous amount of work, especially as I have a bad back, and am no longer young. When Spring came around this year again, I had to dethatch my lawn again because so much thatch had been left unraked by the company to begin with. I also had to reseed, to try to get the lawn all one color. We specifically told the company that we needed to have our lawn looking great, so that we might have the option of putting the house on the market within a couple of years. This company was highly recommended, so we are very put out and disappointed. We paid a lot of money for the work, & I ended up having to redo everything myself by hand. I am including pictures of the patchwork looking colors of the lawn, as well as the wheelbarrows full of thatch that I raked and hauled back into my woods. I would definitely not recommend this company.
