Mike counseled the whole time to ensure everything was to my liking (wife really) but to find the choices Mike made were not short of experience in the field.

I will be using them again in the near future.

I would never use Foraker again. Their communication is terrible and they do subpar work. Here's my…read moreexperience: I had pooling of water on the side of my house during/after it rains. I call out Foraker for solutions and they quoted me for a trenched drain (which would tie in 2 downspouts and a sump pump outlet) and grading of soil in that area. I was led to believe either one would solve my issue. I opted for the trenched drain (which was the more expensive option) because I hoped the final product would look better. At this point, the quote was only given verbally and my agreement was only verbal. I was expecting them to send me a contract to sign outlining the work to be done but that never happened. Next thing I know, I get a text saying they will be out tomorrow to do the job. They completed the project and left without saying a word. I inspect the work after they left and was disappointed with it. They used black corrugated pipe to connect to my white downspout and left it duct taped together. On top of that, it rained the next day and the problem still persisted. So now I contact them expressing my concerns about the quality of work and the persisting issue. I get a very rude response from the owner (Trevor) that he is not changing the pipe color, the duct tape just needs to be removed and the persisting problem is because I didn't do the grading. He stated (in text) that they will come out and put a drain box at the low point of the pooling and tie it in with the drain. I never responded because I was looking into other options. Shortly after with no notice or even a knock at the door, Foraker is back installing the drain box that was never even approved by me. Again after completion, the workers left without a word. A week later it rains, surprise surprise the pooling is still an issue because the soil around the box is lower than the box itself. I get a call from Foraker about payment and I explain the still persisting problem and the remaining issue of the pipe color. This is when the owner THREATENED to come to my house and rip out all the piping because "it's his since you haven't paid for it yet". That's the type of response you can expect from them if you criticize their work. I was the one forced to diffuse the situation and compromise with subpar work. Now I paid $2500 for a drain and drain box that doesn't resolve the issue and that I didn't even ask for. Also stuck with mismatching pipes that I was told to "just spray paint" by the company. All because Foraker doesn't want to fix things the right way and doesn't care about their customers. The owner kept saying how he has 20+ years of experience and I'm surprised they lasted this long with this type of attitude towards customers.

I originally found Michael by doing a simple search for someone to demolish my old deck and fence…read more When he came out to give me a quote, I mentioned that I couldn't replace the deck until I installed a new fence because the existing fence was actually being supported by the old deck. He immediately told me he could take care of both. As we continued talking, I mentioned that my backyard was an overgrown disaster and asked if he did landscaping. His answer was, "We do everything." That ended up being the best thing I could have heard. What started as a deck and fence project turned into a complete backyard and front yard transformation. They removed the old deck, installed a beautiful new fence, built an incredible paver patio, graded the yard, seeded the lawn, and completely changed the look of our property. Throughout the entire project, Michael was unbelievably responsive. I work 12+ hour shifts as a nurse, so I often texted him after normal business hours and always told him there was no rush and that he could respond the next day. More often than not, he'd answer that same evening anyway. He checked in throughout the project, kept us informed every step of the way, and made the entire process incredibly easy. The quality of the work speaks for itself. The craftsmanship is outstanding, the crew worked efficiently, and everything was completed quickly without sacrificing quality. His pricing was also very fair, especially considering how much work was done. The transformation honestly made me emotional. I had hated looking at my yard for years, and seeing the finished project actually brought me to tears. It's hard to describe how much this has changed our home and how excited we are to spend time outside now. If you're looking for someone who is honest, responsive, reasonably priced, and does exceptional work, I cannot recommend Michael and his team highly enough. We'd hire them again in a heartbeat.

I can't say enough good things about Andrew and Arista Construction Group. I came to Andrew in an…read moreincredibly vulnerable moment. Our condo had been completely ruined by a flood caused by a burst water pipe, leading to catastrophic mold damage. We had to move out, and our home was stripped down to the studs. The floors, cabinets, and drywall were all gone. At one point, it honestly felt like the place might never be livable again. Andrew came in and completely turned that around. He restored our home into something beautiful, comfortable, and truly exciting to live in again. From the very beginning, he was kind, charismatic, and genuinely listened to all of our concerns. This wasn't an easy project, and there were a few bumps along the way, but whenever something came up, Andrew heard us out and immediately worked to make it right. He always made sure we were happy with the outcome. What meant the most to me was how supportive and reliable he was throughout the entire process. He guided me step by step, treated me with care, and took so much stress off my shoulders. On top of the construction itself, Andrew skillfully handled a complicated situation involving the property management company and insurance reimbursement. In the end, he completed the entire project within the amount provided by insurance, and the results exceeded my expectations. I've included photos to show just how severe the damage was and how incredible my home looks now. What once felt like a total loss has been fully rebuilt thanks to Andrew and his talented team. I'm deeply grateful for his work and recommend him to anyone who wants a contractor they can truly trust.

Yelp lead me to Lucky 17 Handyman in my area. Mr. Lacina was prompt when he came by for an assessment of our situation. A work price was agreed upon and I was relieved that he would be able to come by the next morning to do the job. He ran into some unforeseen things while knocking down a section of our wall and he didn't charge us more for it. He wanted to minimize as much damage as he could to the other side of the wall so he tried to locate the nails with his metal finder. He marked them and pulled out all the nails from the other side before cutting into the studs behind the wall. He definitely knew what he is doing, very diligent. This really stuck with me...he said, well this is what I would do in my own house. If you want an honest handyman, then Lucky 17 Handyman is your guy!!! He will get the job done right. He will be our go-to handyman from now on. THANK YOU, Mr. Lacina for making a stressful situation a little less stressful.

This job took a good part of the day. Before departing they cleaned up the area and to my surprise, they took all remaining packaging. Stone Brothers Construction did a great job. Definitely will have them back for future work.
