    Patio before
    Christine J.

    I can't say enough about the great job ELA did for our paver patio and bluestone sidewalk renovation! The crew was hard-working and showed up on time every day. I expected them to power wash the patio & sidewalks, install new sand and seal it, but they actually went stone-by-stone leveling the surfaces and replaced some cracked pavers with extras I had in storage. This is normally a very messy process, but the crew washed down everything after the power washing and added new mulch to the beds. They even power washed the driveway before they left! The sealing made the 10+ year-old patio look practically new. They also painted the pillars on our outdoor pavilion (an addition to the project). It's clear that the crew takes pride in their work and craftsmanship, which is so rare today. The price was also less than another quote I received. Would definitely recommend you call ELA for your outdoor project! I will definitely do so for my next one.

    We just completed our second project with ELA, a new front walkway and garden wall, and the results are amazing! We couldn't be happier- from the professional service, thoughtful design, quality materials and skilled craftsmen. Honestly, you might be able to find a less expensive contractor but you will never get the same high quality results. I would highly recommend ELA to anyone considering an outdoor project. Our home has never looked so good! Thanks Keith and the team at ELA.

    Our group of 20 arranged for 18 holes of golf and lunch after. Unfortunately, I injured myself a…read moreday prior and could only do the lunch. I pass this course quite often, played there years ago and was disappointed that I couldn't golf. I forget about this course actually. Anyway, as my group finished golf and arrived for lunch most said the grounds were as hard as a rock, not in good shape and I should be glad not to have golfed that day. Hmm. They all said no more golf outings there. In all fairness, it is the first week of Spring and maybe it just needs more time since the season is just starting. Nonetheless...they were very disappointed. On a good note, the 20 of us sat on the outside covered patio and had a really good lunch. I wasn't expecting much based on the bad reviews of the course therefore I was quite surprised just how good the food was at their restaurant. My burger and fries were delicious. Cooked exactly as requested. The chicken cheesesteak was a huge sandwich and filled with a generous amount of chicken. Two could easily share that. Everyone enjoyed their food and drinks. Only one mishap...they ran out of fries! Substituted onion rings. Normally, that would be a good thing however, the onion rings looked awful. Skinny and overdone, more fried breading then onion...not the good kind of onion rings. Glad I was last to get the fries otherwise my review would be less stars. The quesadilla, salads and other meals also looked very good and generous portions. Our service was friendly and timly. I can see going back for lunch at some point to dine outside on a nice day. Not sure about the golf? I was fluctuating between 3 and 4 stars bc 3.5 would be my pick however, I just can't do 4 stars...hopefully next time. And I will try the restaurant again...probably one of the better restaurants in that area.

    Food is terrible (burnt, dry, and flavorless), decor is extremely dated, and service is lacking…read more We thought this would at least be an okay place with hopes of it being upscale. I hate posting bad reviews, but I want to save others from the disappointment.

They provided a complete bait-and-switch, trying to charge for every little thing, providing sub-par service, lacking follow-through, & the worst communication I've experienced with almost any company. To preface this story, we had never owned an in-ground pool, & were renting (starting in the winter), so we knew nothing about the pool that existed or what condition it was in. I contacted several pool companies to have them come out to look at the pool & let me know what we would need to do to open it, maintain it, & close it at the end of the season. We decided to go with Carmona because they said they could do everything I needed, including addressing some liner pulls, & even though they cost more than some other companies, I felt they sounded the best. They sold us the gold package which included opening, cleaning at opening, weekly services including chemicals, & closing/winterizing. It took about a month to open the pool since it needed a bit of treatment to get going (it was never opened last year by the previous owners). But they opened early (4/31) so that it would be good to go by Memorial Day. The pool was still not in good shape when they came out the Friday before the holiday weekend & they had to come back that Monday (Memorial Day) to follow-up on the treatment from the previous Friday, so we had to cancel our pool plans for Memorial Day Weekend. So, it took a little time to get up & running, but surely that would be the end of it, right? Through the month of June, the pool was "clean" according to the pool techs but was always cloudy. After repeatedly reaching out to the office, they finally communicated to the techs to bring the proper equipment with them when they came for our weekly service. So, we would be good for 4th of July Weekend, right? They came out for service on the Friday right before & within 24 hours the pool was green with a lot of algae/sediment on the bottom. I reached out to the office again to ask them about this issue. They said they would address the algae/sediment on the Friday after 4th of July & that they would need to use algaecide which would be an additional cost. We had now gotten to the point where we had bought a pool brush & vacuum & were doing much of this ourselves (an additional cost we didn't think we would have with the package purchased). I let them know that we had now cancelled our pool plans for both Memorial Day Weekend & the 4th of July Holiday Weekend & the pool turned green within less than 24 hours after their "service", so I didn't see why I should have to pay extra because they were delayed in following up. I asked if they could let me know what they were doing to address the repeated issues, if there was something else we could be doing (running the filter longer?), if we needed different equipment (upgrade the motor?), but it was like pulling teeth to get clear communication from the office & techs. It took until the end of August to finally get proper information about how & when to be running the filter. During all this time I had been inquiring about fixing the liner pulls & they were finally able to get someone to take care of them...starting at the price of $200, which was never discussed with us in the beginning, & I declined at that point since it was close to the end of the season. Now we're coming up on Labor Day Weekend, they've got it this time, right? Green pool once again leading into our Friday service prior to Labor Day Weekend. After that service, still green & no communication from the office or techs. We decided to try to salvage the holiday weekend ourselves & took a water sample to a different company. They immediately told us that the balance was off & recommended some products to address the situation. While we had to spend ~$110 on chemicals, we were able to balance & clear up our pool within 24 hours. What's more, the pool remained clear the remainder of the season until closing. Speaking of the closing, we had to do most of the work when it came to draining the pool to the appropriate level & we had to completely re-do the cover on the pool because the techs put it on loosely & didn't position the airbags (under the cover) properly at all. I also suspect that there were no chemicals added to properly winterize it. Through their length of service, most of the weekly visits lasted 10-12 minutes from the time that they pulled up to the time that they drove away. Any communication had to originate from us & took weeks for clarity. We noticed many times where the pool was checked for chemical balance, but rarely was anything added except for the initial shocking, the algaecide that was discussed above, & 2 chlorine tabs added to the skimmer basket weekly. Future customers beware.
