I have a small deck at the back of my house. It was 6 years old and I have not done much to take…read morecare of it and it started showing. Finally decided to wash and stain it before it got worse. Found this place on facebook, Joe responded immediately on facebook messenger and got the details needed from me. He made suggestions on what kind of sealant to use for the deck. He mentioned that they were booked for the season. By this time, I was impressed with the prompt communication and their service, I have decided to go with them and wanted to wait for their next available appointment. Joe responded after a few days saying that an availability opened up and should be able to wash my deck in a couple of weeks. He kept me informed the whole time. I was given all the instructions and what to expect before their visit. On the scheduled date, their crew came and power washed the deck thoroughly. Next day, they promptly showed up and stained it. Overall, I was impressed with the service and the price. I would recommend them without any hesitation.

I'm glad George had a pleasant experience, but I did not, and would not recommend them. I hired…read moreGrime Busters to power wash my house, with special attention to all of the windows. Also, they were to power wash my deck and seal it. The windows needed special attention because spiders build webs in the windows then poop all over them. It's really gross, and I especially hired Grime Busters to take care of this problem. I specified this as the reason I was getting my house pressure washed. As such, I was told to remove all of my window screens to ensure the best results. So when they were finished, imagine my anger when I looked in my upstairs window and it looked as if water hadn't touched the window at all. OK. We all make careless mistakes. I called and someone came back out to inspect the job of the previous person. Agreed they didn't do a good job, but he didn't come back with a pressure washer to fix the problem! He asked me to use my pressure washer...uhh, WHAT? That's not all. The original washer also left whole areas of my deck unwashed then sealed over them. You could look and tell the angle he washed the stairs and balusters - imagine the sun casting a shadow is the best way I can describe it. So of course when he sealed the deck, whole areas of the deck didn't get sealed, because they weren't washed properly. I was also told the seal would last (assuming proper washing, of course) for 3-5 years. Even on the areas I felt were properly washed, rain water stopped beading on the deck within weeks. The last thing is they were to restain my white deck railings, and they did this, but sloppily. I have white wood railings on white (pvc? plastic-like) balusters. The white stain for the wood can be seen on the plastic -like balusters. In all, while I appreciated their attitude and they were very respectful, I paid $2500 to have a job done well and it was not. And returning without the equipment to correct the problem was pretty inexcusable.

He was very condescending to me when I first got a quote with him. Making comments like oh your just a woman you wouldnt understand. My husband insisted we use them. HORRIBLE DECISION.

WARNING LOOK ELSEWHERE. RUDE AND UNPLESANT. EDIT TO GARY---- I'm not a scam post. You and I dealt with each other face to face. You are a horrible business man. You are yet to come back to my house and clean up the mess you and your so called crew left behind. You are such a phony. I really hope people see this and decide to be smart and not do business with you. Your such an arrogant man!!

We were very happy with the work done by Gary and his team at Landscaping by Design. We had Gary…read morecompletely redo our backyard on Capitol Hill in DC. All of the existing fencing and hardscape was removed and we installed new cedar fencing, a patio area, a parking area,lighted garden beds and a stone bench. All of this in a narrow DC yard (16x120). We did not contract LBD for design services; we did most of that ourselves (just looking at pictures online). But Gary did a good job of looking at our ideas and helping us see if there were any clear problems. He was always happy to meet with us in person or talk on the phone. And he went with us when we selected hardscaping materials. The only real con to the entire process with LBD is that the job did not go quickly. A job that was scheduled for a few weeks stretched into a few months. There were weather delays for sure and Gary was also working other jobs. However the delays didn't bother us much at all. First, Gary was very clear up front that if we had a strict timeline he wasn't probably our guy. Second, we were more interested in quality than speed. I'm reluctant to write numbers because I have no idea what the scope of your project would be. But I always wish someone would give some indication as to price. So for all the work described above, plus a new garage door (about $5k), but without any actual plantings (we did that part ourselves), the total cost was just over $40k. Yes that's a lot of money, but some of that came from our choices -- the cedar fence was over $10k. And some of the cost was the quality we were paying for. Gary put a lot of work into making sure that the new yard would drain well and making sure that the ground under the hardscaping was well-prepared. That preparation took a lot of work. I would definitely recommend contacting Gary about your project.

So we did not park or walk in the concrete for 10 days. Mind you both entry ways to the house were done. I followed all directions of not disturbing the concrete. I also complied with advertising on my property. On Sept 22nd I noticed what was considered a "settlement" crack per Tim. He also stated that it takes a total of 28 days for the concrete to completely cure. I was told someone would come out to repair it. I continued to reach out and was told they were really busy. Then once winter arrived I knew they wouldn't be able to do the work. Fast forward to March I started tracking out again. They finally came in April to "patch" the crack. It rained about 3 hours after they left and it looked as if nothing had been done. I reached back out and was told that is the way it's supposed to look and they would be back. Well now it's June almost July and no one has returned and now another crack has surfaced. Although they have been nice and courteous the follow-up does not meet expectations. It'll soon be a year and I paid as agreed but the service once they get your money lacks.

They did really top notch work, were super communicative throughout the process, and got most things done sooner than expected. Jon is great to work with and his team-- Adrian, Matt, & Juan-- did a great job. They also worked nights and weekends to speed things along and get us open quickly. Jon took so much time with me and was very flexible and patient. They definitely are raising the bar for contractors everywhere. Also, my dad is a contractor a few states away and came to visit when the work was starting. He was impressed and trusted Jon and he's not easily won over so that says a lot.

However, the communication was terrible from the start. I could hardly get any responses or updates, which was very frustrating. To make matters worse, after I literally chased him down... they quoted me an outrageous amount of $78,000 for the project, while two other companies quoted me under $17,000 for the same work. Needless to say, I decided to go with a different contractor. I hope they improve their communication and pricing in the future. Or maybe for some reason he just didn't want to work with me.
