If I could give All Around the Yard more than five stars, I would without hesitation!…read more Paul and his team have been an absolute pleasure to work with. Whether it's lawn care, landscaping, handyman projects, or random indoor and outdoor jobs that pop up, they consistently deliver outstanding results. What truly sets them apart is their work ethic and attention to detail. They don't just come in, do the minimum, and leave--they take the time to notice things that need attention, offer helpful suggestions, and tackle countless little extras without ever being asked. It's clear they genuinely care about the quality of their work and their customers' satisfaction. Paul and his crew are reliable, honest, professional, and incredibly hardworking. They take tremendous pride in what they do, and it shows in every project they complete. Finding a company that treats your home as if it were their own is rare, but that's exactly what you get with All Around the Yard. I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking for dependable lawn care, landscaping, handyman services, or help with projects around the house. They've earned my trust, and I look forward to working with them for many years to come.

The professionalism and customer focus are at a level you don't find very often these days. It's an "old school" approach, based on relationships and providing value. They hit it out of the park in all respects. Great people, great service and a glorious experience. I plan on securing future services and could not be happier with how things came to fruition. Don't settle for some fly by night company providing a suboptimal solution. Contract with EP Hranica and put your worries to rest.

We had experienced a quite heavy rains directly after being hit with roughly seven to 10 ( maybe 12 inches of snow in about 12 hours. Then the heavy rains came and dropped at least 4 to 6 inches of rain on top of the snow. Well, we live in an area called Still-meadow. Apparently, Still-meadow can be loosely translated to running water under land ( apparently it is an Native American saying to basically say in an ornate way, "Hey, you live on a a, "Flood Plain", or in our case a network of small natural springs. Oh yeah, and now you now have a unwanted swimming pool in place of what use to be your dry basement, where a-l-l-l-l your decorations for Christmas and some of your irreplaceable keepsakes from year/decades past are now about to be damaged or destroyed beyond all recognition. So who do you call??? The "Ghost-Busters"? Nope, that would be Denny Cottrell Water-Proofing ( I may have the name wrong (sorry Denny). However, one way you'll never go wrong is when you reach out to Denny and his team for help with your water- proofing needs. No B.S. just the facts and a pledge from him yo do what he and his amazing team can do to rectify your soggy situation. Trust me when I say this, "You will never regret taking your water-proofing needs to Denny and his guys. That is for sure. No problems in my basement ( floor is as dry as a desert ( I even thought I saw a Tumble-Weed the other day.

Just a "straight shooting" fair price kind of businessman and friend. As always Thank You So Much! K.W.

We hired Cottrell Basement Waterproofing (Dennis Cottrell Jr ) to install an egress window in our…read morenew home. First of all I can't believe this man/company got so many good reviews after dealing with him for a short period of time. Did he inherit this company from his dad and then run it into the ground? I should have seen the red flag when he was so pushy to start and every other contractor I called couldn't get to us for 3-12 months. He was trying to get me to write him a check for the job even before we settled on our new house. He was extremely unprofessional from the beginning, sending me weird photos of his vacation, but I over looked it because we needed an egress window to make a 4th bedroom in our new house asap. We signed the contract May 12th and gave him a 30% deposit of $1800. Upon looking at the contract my husband immediately noticed some things that were not checked off that should be done to install an egress window properly like installing a lentil. When he asked Dennis about it he said he didn't check them off because he doesn't want the township inspecting that part, that it would just be a headache for us. Like he was doing us a favor. We applied for permits for the window and after he cashed our check he told us he is going to start without permits and if we have a problem with that that is going to be a problem and he may not do our job. He said he works without permits all the time. He's also texted us some absolutely ridiculous things. Also the fact that he was leaving out information so that certain parts wouldn't be inspected is huge red flag. If he was doing proper work why would there be a problem with inspections afterwards? Cutting a substantial sized hole in a foundation is a pretty big deal. He said he was getting a lot of backlash from us asking about permits and he would let us know the day before our job was supposed to start if he was going to show up or not and that if he canceled he would get our deposit money (that we gave him 2 weeks ago) back to us in six months(which I have 0 faith in). It's like he was almost trying to bully us into letting him do the job because he's hard up for money. He reiterated how it is paramount to put his company's financial needs first. He has put us in a really bad situation with the township. Unfortunately at this point I now decided to do more research on him than just Google and Facebook reviews. I found that he's had another lawsuit from a customer which he is still failing to pay back. But most importantly I found out he is actually NOT currently a licensed contractor with the state of Pennsylvania, that license expired YEARS ago. He said that there must be a "miscommunication" within the Attorney General's office and it's absurd that I would say that he's not licensed. This is all public info. At this point he is not responding to any of our emails, texts, or calls regarding repaying us our $1800 deposit. His story about how long he's been working and what kind of work he will do changed every time we talked to him. We have caught him in numerous contradicting statements and lies. I think he is a scam artist. Beware. After all of this he sent a text eluding to the fact that we should stay on his schedule. Um, no thanks. I'm just so glad he actually didn't touch our house. If the way he runs his business and his lack of Integrity is any indication of how the actual work would go it would be a complete disaster. I just want our $1800 deposit money back.

Mount Joy Pa. We confirmed our house had a water main leak…read more Homeowners responsibility. A friend recommended Ober's plumbing. We called for quote, same day inspection. Received our quote next day with recommendation. Going to try trench-less repair and worse case scenario. Had to wait till Monday for local/state to come and mark the property for digging protocol. Tuesday they were here early AM. Found kinks in line, can't run the trench-less. Worse case scenario. By the afternoon, water back on. The digging only left a small imprint on the lawn. Received our bill a few days later. Under budgeted quote. (Slightly). But under quote after worse case scenario = Priceless. Great job and Thsn you! We will consider Ober's Plumbing for all our future needs.

In June we were unfortunate enough to experience a sewer break in the wall between our second floor…read moreand basement. As you can imagine it was a mess with sewage on the floor and seeping into our neighbor's house, not to mention expensive. Pray to the plumbing Gods that this never happens to you! Many years ago I worked for a plumbing company so I knew right off the bat this would be thousands to repair. With my go to (Ranck's Plumbing) no longer in business I had no choice but to seek a new plumber, one that had a sewer camera, and could come right away. An online search of plumbers with cameras yielded very few results in my area. I called a few and left messages. Ober's was a company I found on Yelp for having good & honest reviews and they were local which was a huge plus. I took a chance on them having a camera and was thankful that they did. Jerry, the owner was awesome! He even came to my house for a free consult to make sure he could run the camera before he sent his crew over - that was much appreciated! My house is almost 100 years old so there was some fear of the unknown. At the free consult he spent a considerable amount of time exploring possible scenarios and discussing options. Jerry is very hands on and explains things in a way you can understand without judgement. Once he determined the camera could be ran I provided the key and returned to work. Jerry and his crew did the rest. Within hours I had a verbal quote. Was it expensive? Yes, spending a few thousand for something you can't see is alot of money, but sewer is a necessity. Although I don't have anything to compare it to other than my experience in this field many years ago I do feel his price was fair and most likely considerably less than what larger firms would charge for the same scale of work. I especially liked that Jerry understood that I wanted the least invasive option available and was sensitive to my request not rip out my newer kitchen to gain access. To save money hubby did some of the demo with Jerry's instruction. Since we're talking about a considerable amount of money I didn't feel comfortable with a verbal quote alone. However once I requested one in writing Jerry provided one the next day in great detail. The work took a few days to complete, and a few days till they could start due to some issues with our insurance adjuster. During that time-period Jerry was always accessible, answered all of our questions, and took our many phone calls without issue or attitude. Once the insurance adjuster was out of the way he was prompt to get us on the schedule so we could have use of our facilities again. The work was completed as promised and my house was left in satisfactory condition. While they did comply with my request to lock up daily, a light was left on the first day. So why 4 stars instead of 5? I always feel a little uncomfortable asking for something that I feel should be standard (in this case a written quote). They do things old school so they couldn't email the quote but were able to fax it. The price of running the camera is expensive and it's standard procedure to record the process to show the homeowner exactly what the problem is. While they do have the camera they don't use the video and didn't relay this to me until I asked. While I'm so thankful for Jerry and his team and to have this experience in my rear view window I would/will use Ober's again and would happily recommend him to anyone seeking an honest, fair, local, knowledge plumber.
