That said, please use caution in hiring them for your next project. We certainly won't. Kirkwood Home & Landscape came recommended by several neighbors in our area (specifically on NextDoor), and we decided to use them for a major backyard project at our home. This included leveling our yard, removing all grass/sod, re-sodding the entire yard, and re-routing a gutter + sump pump pipe that emptied in the middle of our yard. The original crew was on time, friendly, and courteous. We thought we had a good thing going, and were fine with our $5,000+ investment for all of the work. Within a few days, however, we realized the work was not done properly. We had two days of rain, and our yard was positively flooded - worse than before we had it 'leveled' by Kirkwood Home & Garden. We were holding water in portions of the yard that were previously fine. Soon, the sod in the middle of the yard died, despite us following all of the care and maintenance instructions left by the crew. A few months later, our neighbor behind us reported flooding in his yard. The crew had re-routed our gutter/sump pump drain into a common area, but failed to provide the appropriate grading / drainage solution, so the water was now flowing our neighbor's yard. We asked Kirkwood Home & Landscape if this would happen before they did the work, and they assured us it would be fine and the water would dissipate. We contacted Kirkwood Home & Garden several times. We felt we deserved more than this for $5,000. Their initial solution was to seed the yard. We agreed as a first (low cost, low effort) attempt to make things right. When the seed failed to take (because the yard was still flooding / holding water), we contacted them again. The receptionist was fantastic - she heard my concerns, empathized with my frustration, and seemed to genuinely care. I cried on the phone because of how much we stood to lose financially on this project; we have a young son who was being eaten by mosquitoes in our water-filled yard. She was sympathetic and kind. She was the most positive part of this experience, and we thanked her repeatedly for her kindness. But the owner, Bob Mosby, did not return my call or provide the receptionist with any direction for weeks. Finally, we contacted them again and they re-surveyed the yard. Apparently, the crew installed the drainage solution against code - they never should have routed it to the area of the yard that they did. So not only was our yard worse off than when we started, but now we were at risk of fines from the City of Des Peres. Bob Mosby said they would fix the drain location, but nothing else. He said they could not guarantee their work and 'we had a lot of rain' and our yard 'was just a fishbowl' that would naturally fill with water. So why did they take our $5,000 and agree to fix a 'fishbowl' with no chance of being fixed? He made sure to make the point multiple times that he was fixing the drain at no cost to us, and he was 'losing money on the project,' as if his crew's out-of-code work was our fault. He was extremely condescending and patronizing to me and was very dismissive of our concerns. This drain saga took months to remedy. And our yard is still a pond when it rains even the slightest. We would strongly urge anyone considering using this company to 1) Not. But if you do, get in writing what happens if your sod / plants do not take or their work is sub-par. Also, make sure you and their crew are aware of codes in your area. We expected them (as the professionals) to know this, and clearly they did not or just didn't care.

After struggling with the first one, I…read moremet Scott Vogel at Grand Home Solutions - have hired Scott and his team for every home renovation since. These have ranged from 3000+ sf historic homes that need a complete gut rehab (and I mean a total GUT rehab) to moderate floor plan updates with kitchen/bath remodel of smaller houses. 7 major projects, plus 4 moderate projects. And my own kitchen and bathroom. Not all have been project managed perfectly - but after addressing problems with Scott they have been fully resolved. He is great to work with, and his carpenters are excellent. Several of his senior carpenters/project managers are very good at thinking outside of the box to problem solve, which is always a good thing. Included some photos to show the extent of renovations. Also have built new garages, garage-ports, decks, etc.

I have a single door garage and was having major issues with it opening and closing. The opener…read moreappeared to be functioning correctly as it would work when the door was unhooked from the opener. Obviously this was a major headache as I could not leave the house not knowing if it would open or close. I had heard radio ads for a major garage door company in St. Louis, so I called and scheduled an appointment. They arrived on time and within 5 minutes told me that I needed a new garage door and new opener. Quickly providing a bid of $1000 - $1200. This seemed high to me and I found it curious that both the door and opener needed to be replaced. Given the high price and forced sales approach I declined their offer, however still had to pay the $100 service fee for the 5 minute review of the door. I then called Grand Home Solutions and spoke with Scott Vogel (the owner) about my garage door issue. After speaking with Scott a trade partner of Grand Home Solutions promptly showed up on time as well, however they took a very different approach. The service man actually took the time to listen to what was wrong with the door and then actually fixed the door, which ended up being a rusted wire to one of the sensors. Amazingly the original bid to "fix" the door with a complete new door and system of $1000 - $1200 turned into $89. I can't thank Scott Vogel and Grand Home Solutions enough for their honesty and approach to addressing the problem rather than automatically up selling me to a new door and opener. If anyone I know ever has a home improvement project or has an issue such as a faulty garage door I will gladly refer them to Grand Home Solutions.

Terry Larson with Larson Exteriors is unreliable and unresponsive. Are they even in business?…read more They never answer their phone or respond to messages. This is one of the worst companies I have ever encountered. After trying to get a bid from Terry Larson for many weeks, he was unresponsive but after writing an honest review about how he would not respond, he contacted me immediately, apologized profusely and promised to help me get my job done. I took the review down as I believed him as he appeared sincere. Terry Larson personally measured my house, dropped of sample boards of siding and sent me a bid the end of June. He told me to inform the insurance company my siding was no longer available. I took care of the insurance company, which took a few months and was able to get the siding approved. I made several attempts to contact Terry Larson to assist him in getting more money than what the insurance company would pay and he completely ignored me - refusing to respond. The owner, Terry Larson, does not honor his word once given and no one answers the phone, responds to messages or calls back. Bryan Hershfeld recommended me to Larson Exteriors as he claimed he was starting to work for them and was getting business cards. He wanted me to give out business cards to my neighbors, which I would have done. I had hired Mr. Hershfeld to do some work on other properties. While he was at my home, he damaged my property then refused to return calls or repair the damages. Terry Larson validated that Bryan Hershfeld was working with him. Zero starts all the way. In response to Terry Larson's response posted 10/11/24: I have extensive experience with construction contractors for 30 years. Terry Larson, Larson Exteriors and Bryan Hershfeld don't appear to realize that running a business requires actually answering the phone, following up, doing what they promise, responding to text messages and emails, detailing their scope of work in writing and being honest with customers. This is not rocket science. It's common sense. Unfortunately during these very strange times, there are a lot of posers and scammers out there that put up websites and claim to do various construction services but only want to collect money up front without actually doing anything ... claiming its' for "materials". Then they want you to wait until they feel like showing up but in reality they need to find subcontractors to do the work. They don't want to put any details in their bids including the brand of materials or warranties. With the lack of reviews for Larson Exteriors, I have my suspicions about who Terry Larson is and his company Larson Exteriors.
