ALB Tree Service

Because of the wonderful service we received right off the bat, we decided that they would be the first and only company we would contact for our retaining walls, fire pit, and yard regrading and seeding. Logan was our go-to guy from start to finish. He was communicative, thorough, and knowledgeable and helped us visualize the plan with an initial drawing. Manny and his crew took it from there and brought our vision to life. While working on our property, the crew was always professional and courteous. Each day before they left, our yard was cleaned up and debris was blown away, which I really appreciated. Communication was just the right amount; they asked us any questions they had & kept us in the loop on which days they would be at our property. Our project was completed in the estimated timeframe, which we also really appreciated. The final product is everything we could have hoped for. We would highly, highly recommend LawnCare by Walter.

I am looking through reviews because I'm considering changing lawn care companies. I might have…read moregone back to Walter but they burned that bridge. Interestingly, they have the lowest ratings of any other company I've looked at here. That is a fact that cannot be argued. In my opinion, they have earned their poor reviews. I hope everyone reads this. Lawn Care by Walter has terrible reviews. They give the same tired old response assuming we read every bit of each piece of mail we get. And the fact is, they only agreed to not charge me for an unwanted service after I accused them of trespassing. If an employee of mine treated my exiting customers the way they do I would fire that employee on the spot. I would think their junk reviews would be enough to wake them up. I wish them well but I do hope they change their business model to not bully people who leave them. Creating a situation that alienates customers to this extreme is a stupid business tactic. And to say "We are sorry you feel that way ..." for a situation that they created is ridiculous.The bottom line is they can run their business the way they want. So, read the reviews, be careful who you do business with and stand your ground, legally if necessary, if you know you're right.

There were three men who came to do the work with one of the men called RuBin acting as foreman.. While two of the men got started on the job , Rubin started to ask this client personal questions and giving her some unsolicited remarks about his life. This conversation made my friend very uncomfortable and she retreated back into the the house. When the work was completed , Rubin came to the door and told the the owner that Amy would send an invoice for the completion of work but that invoice didn't include their tip so she wrote a check to Rubin for the tip. " WHAT" Since when do you pay landscapers a tip. This was a very scary experience for her and she felt violated and taken advantage of. Needless to say she won't ever use Andy's again.

The guy that came to give me the quote asked me how I heard of Image Pros so he could adjust quote…read moreaccordingly. I told him I saw good reviews on Angieslist and he said "oh good, thats our best rate". He gave me a price for $125 ($95 for sealcoating, $30 for patches). Not the lowest price I've seen as I have received fliers in my mailbox from 5 other companies in the past year for sealcoating. Other companies had quoted anywhere from $66 to $85, although im sure this didn't account for the crack patching which cost an extra $30 with Image Pros. Im happy with the price for the quality of the work done. They did a clean job, used patch to take care of the cracks, and there are no lines/striping like i've seen in some other sealcoating jobs. The main problem I had was in coordinating the job. They originally scheduled the job for the day after the 4th of July extended holiday weekend (Tuesday July 5th). I went home at noon that day for lunch and saw nothing had been done. I called and asked what time they would arrive. I was told they would be out in the afternoon. Got home from work at 5 and still nothing. They called me at 5:30 and said they would reschedule to Friday because it looked like it may rain the next day. I was home from work all day on Friday the 9th. Called in the morning to remind them that were scheduled for that day. They said they would be there late afternoon. Again, got a call a little after 5pm saying that their truck had broke down and needed to reschedule to the following Monday the 12th. The woman asked me how this worked for me, and I told her it "wasnt as good as today, I was home all day from work". But I again rescheduled. I asked her what time specifically they would do the job on Monday, the woman told me I could call Monday morning to find if it would be done in the morning or afternoon. I elected not to call and hope it would just be done sometime that day. The job was in fact complete when I arrived home at noon on Monday, July 12th. They blocked off the drive with string and neon colored flags as hoped. Good final product, just seemed unprofessional in coordination. Also I told the woman on the phone in a prior conversation that I had a coupon for 10% off from angieslist.com. So my final price was $112.50. In my opinion, the guy who quoted the job originally should have applied this discount when he asked how I heard of the company and he said that was their best discount. (unless he did apply the discount unbeknownst to me and I received the discount twice, although I doubt this is the case).

Excellence Garage Doors

I recently had an issue with one of the garage doors on my three-car garage. The door was having…read moredifficulty closing properly and would occasionally reverse direction when it was about 6-8 inches from the floor, leaving it stuck in the open position. After taking a closer look, I noticed several loose track bolts and suspected something wasn't installed correctly. After reading reviews, I contacted Excellence Garage Doors and spoke with Raymond. He listened carefully to my concerns and was able to schedule an appointment for the very next day. Raymond arrived on time as promised and immediately impressed me with his friendly personality and professional demeanor. He performed a thorough inspection of all three garage doors and quickly identified the problem. The lag bolts securing the tracks had been installed incorrectly and were the wrong size. Not only did he correct the issue on the affected door, but he also inspected the remaining garage doors and found several other loose fasteners that needed attention. We decided it would be best to replace all the lag bolts to prevent any future issues. What I appreciated most was that Raymond took the time to explain everything he was doing and why the repairs were necessary. There was never any pressure or upselling--just honest recommendations and quality workmanship. He carefully adjusted the tracks, tightened and replaced hardware where needed, inspected the garage door openers, and made sure every component was operating as it should. By the time he was finished, all of my garage doors were operating smoothly, quietly, and better than they had since I purchased the home. It's easy to see that Raymond takes great pride in his work. His knowledge, attention to detail, and confidence come from years of experience and factory training from leading garage door manufacturers. He went above and beyond what I expected, and his pricing was more than fair for the amount of work performed. If you're looking for an honest, knowledgeable, and dependable garage door company, I highly recommend Excellence Garage Doors. Raymond delivered exceptional customer service, quality workmanship, fair pricing, and an overall outstanding experience. I would not hesitate to call him again for any future garage door repairs or maintenance. 5-Stars!
