The reviews on yelp and google further confirmed this was the right choice. The office staff explained everything thoroughly and followed up via email and phone call when necessary. The service person showed up within the timeframe and went into further detail about the different screens/materials - it made me feel even better about my selection. For some reason, I had it in my head that this would be a fast repair but replacing 6 screens took almost an hour and a half. Not a complaint - I'm more impressed that he took his time instead of performing a rush job. I'm enjoying new, sturdier screens thanks to Screen Medic.

Aaron waterproofed almost the entire basement of our restaurant and re-cemented some of the slabs…read morewe use to store dry goods so that the surfaces were nice and level. He also leveled out the floor because there were low spots that had water pooling up. The repairs that had been done before were less than desireable and now that the holes are all filled in and we have nice flat surfaces to store food on our storage is much more effective. We had previously discussed with Aaron about having one of his Water Walls installed on out patio so we could have a newere updated look but as spring came at us and everything started to thaw out our basement at Nacho Mama's started leaking water everywhere due to being right across the street from the river and having an older natural stone foundation. As soon as Aaron came in for lunch we started to discuss our concerns about having the water problems in the basement and he replied very simply, "I can fix that". So we went downstairs and right away he started to notice all the pinhole leaks that were in even the stairs going down. He just listened as I walked him around showing him where all the major spots were that we were accumulating water. After I showed him the spots that I thought were the major contributors he took another walk around with me showing me even more holes that I had not even noticed. He really has an eye for detail and notices even the smallest things. I was quite surprised in this, most contractors that we have dealt with just wanted to to the bare minimum so they could get to their next job it seems. We told him that if it was at all possible we wanted to hold off on having the water feature installed so that we could get the basement fixed and he told us that whatever was the most convenient for us is what he would do. He gave us an estimate about an hour and half later and it came in about 1000 dollars lower than another estimate we got. He encouraged us to get estimates so that we felt comfortable and new he was giving us a fair price. I called him after I got the estimate and asked when he thought he would be able to get out to start the work and conveniently enough he just had a delay on another job so he could start the next day! He spent the entire week working in the basement and gave us a heads up that with the way the foundation was there was no possible way to eliminate every pin hole leak due to all the storage and machinery we have down there but he would try to get everything that he possibly could. I saw him bringing down bag after bag of cement and as we got near to the end of the week he completely transformed out basement. While I was hoping for at least 50% less water he cut down I would say 90% which is HUGE since we will always have some water coming due to the river. He assured us that if we need anything as far as repairs or even small additions to fix other areas that he was just a phone call away and he would take care of us. We absolutely LOVE having Aaron around because he seems to do everything and what we have had him do has been perfect! We will deffinately be using him for all our needs here at the restaurant and at

I would not recommend this company. The crew arrived late, did not work efficiently, and left an…read morehour early. There was also a lot of time spent walking around without actually working. My project specifically involved large weed removal, which was agreed upon in advance. However, partway through the job, I was told they couldn't complete that portion because there wasn't room in the trailer--despite there being available space in both the trailer and the back of the truck, especially if tarps had been used. Instead, the team shifted to removing small weeds (which I didn't need), stating they had to fill the 8 hours per Eric, the owner. Our contract clearly outlined 8 hours of labor, and the $250 trailer fee for removal was supposed to be separate from that work time. Despite this, the crew left early, saying they needed time to drop off the trailer. I reached out to Eric three times and requested that the team return to complete the job as agreed or to issue a partial refund. He has not responded. (Ironically, he was very responsive when securing the job--something echoed in other reviews.)

If ZERO stars was possible, I would have given it to this company…read more When I found this company I was excited to help him gain experience and grow his business. He gave us a VERY competitive bid for our project, we wrote him a check for $2550 (1/2 of the total cost) and he ordered the materials the next day (7/2) . I was excited even though the pavers for the patio were back ordered and we'd have to wait for two weeks. But the other supplies arrived and work on the tree ring could be done relatively soon. After the holiday, He came and dug a trench for a rain PopUp gutter drain that was 15 ft long and roughly 2 or 2 1/2 feet deep. I was thinking this is going to be great. But then, poof... it was very difficult to reach him. Text messages went unanswered and phone calls were not picked up. He had given me his word that the patio would be done by July 19. He never arrived at my house until 10 (at the earliest). After I spoke to him about possibly coming earlier in the morning to avoid the heat he said he'd try. He didn't. Then, when I asked him why he admitted that he was hung over. Then proceeded to tell me he needed another $1,000 as he got an over draft notice from his bank. I asked here the money was we had paid him for the supplies and he said "life happened." It almost sounded as though he wanted more money to cover the expense of the pavers that I had already paid him for. I fired him after he told me he'd be at my house by 10, arrived at 11 said he'd work until 2 or 3! I asked him for longer. He agreed we needed to get this done, but he left my house around 1:15 AND my backyard neighbor said he spent most of that time sitting on my deck or the grass. Hired and material ordered on July 2 and all he has accomplished is the trench. Every promise he gave me he broke.

Don't make the mistake we did by selecting Homestead for a construction project. We worked with…read morethem for a four-season addition and it was nothing but issues, delays and excuses. I will list out the major issues but know that the list is much more extensive: 1. Project timeline: We were told it would be done by Thanksgiving 2022. It was not finished until February 2023. Delays were largely in part due to their lack of planning: ordered the wrong size windows which set it back 4 weeks; multiple times where they didnt schedule subcontractors, either at all or in the wrong order. 2. Quality of work: large gaps and crooked drywall (see pictures), LVT flooring installed incorrectly (and with gaps in subfloor) that already needs to be replaced, dents in the wall that were never fixed (see picture). I had to have the city re-inspect the posts because Homestead didn't bolt down 2 of them, creating a significant safety risk. Then they took 6 weeks to fix even with a correction notice from the city. 3. Payments: 3 people called both my husband and I the same day they sent the 2nd invoice. And for the final payment, they harassed us again while we were in the middle of the stonework and flooring installation. They argued that it was "substantially complete" when I had a list of 10 items still to be completed. The best part was in March when we received a certified letter in the mail that there was a lien on our property because Homestead didn't pay a subcontractor (over 1 month after we made our final payment). Again, excuses from Homestead, trying to cover up the fact that they didn't pay the bill until after the lien was processed. 4. Communication: From the Project Manager to the Owners, there are significant issues with delays in response, and making excuses. I could go on but the main takeaway is: Do not use Homestead Remodeling!

Five year update: There is not a day gors by that we don't love the view of our landscaped yard…read more As requested, Trio installed native plants that attract birds, since my hobby is photographing birds. But the result was much more, the variety of flowers, shrubs and trees, (some bearing berries for birds) is the envy of the entire neighborhood. The plants have matured into a planned "painting" of contrasting foliage. My experience is that money spent outside of the house goes further than remodel money spent inside...maybe it is the "alive" thing that plants have. That sounds dumb, but seeing the seasons change in my yard is life affirming. Thanks, Diana. Larry and Helen

I called Trio Landscaping last fall to discuss a landscaping project we needed for our backyard…read more This is a duplex that hasn't had much loving care to the landscape due to it being a rental property. Now that my husband and I, the owners, moved in, we wanted a space that felt "finished", cozy and a place where we would like to hang out. Diana, the owner of Trio Landscaping, was excellent to work with. She spent a lot of time getting a good understanding of our budget and what we wanted before she created a plan and sent it to us. We had several zoom calls discussing the plan and making minor revisions to ensure it met our needs. Her design is spot on for our space. We were out of town the week the construction took place and came back to a completely new backyard! It has transformed the way we spend time in the back yard - hanging out with friends, grilling and just reading and relaxing. I now have a backyard I am proud to show off. The Trio Landscaping team are all top notch professionals! Thank you, Trio Landscaping!
