Read this in its entirety. DO NOT hire or contract with this company. I know they have good reviews on several platforms but would question the authenticity of those reviews.
We contracted them to resod the front yard of the house and while the pricing and initial presentation of the scope of work was OK - the process, demeanor and end result was TERRIBLE.
Once you agree to the work they are on you from minute one for ALL the money up front…big red flag and I refused to pay stating the obvious and they agreed to move on with the job but not even 4 hours into the job I was receiveing texts, phone calls, and emails hounding me with the same request….remember, job isn’t done, day isn’t over. Once I had a break during my workday, I notified them of the previous conversation and simply said Negative. Finish the job and get paid…simple 1 day basic laborer stuff.
Once the day was done, I the calls/texts/emails came pouring in again and being 2 states away, I simply asked for pictures; they have none and come to find out the “owner” of this company doing all the aggressive money grabbing NEVER visited the house from beginning to end. I called my realtor who immediately went over there and took pictures, and his response was all so telling. “This is the worst of the worst that I have ever seen.” He sent me pictures and WOW …. Just WOW. There is no clean up…mud everywhere…house sidewalks landscaping street etc….but yet in the scope of work, “Clean UP” is in there…but WOW.
Furthermore, the sod was NOT rolled…mismatched, uneven and bumps throughout. I immediately contacted the owner and stated you’re not getting a dime. The job is not done. I don’t understand why this money grab is consistently coming out of your mouth when the job is terrible and not anywhere remotely close to being finished. Prior to this phone conversation he had been blowing up my phone with text messages, threatening to call the police put a lien on the house, etc. etc. all the ranting and raving of a common con artist within the next two days he sent his crew back out there and made things right, but take it for me. Do not I repeat do not hire these people and if for some bizarre reason, you do absolutely do not give them any money until the job is complete. It will be the only leverage you have to try and make a terrible effort looks somewhat right.
