Last Spring we hired this company to renovate our front lawn. They came & did the work, but we…read morewere not pleased. Our front yard was torn up & not evened out after roto tilling, & there was still a huge amount of thatch left unraked. We called to have them come back. They said it looked good. We said that it did not, and asked them to redo the seeding. They did. When the grass started to come up, we were horrified to find that there were 2 different colors! I placed 2 or 3 phone calls to the company to say that we were very unhappy. Our calls were not returned. I spent all of last Fall re- raking and dethatching my lawn. It was an enormous amount of work, especially as I have a bad back, and am no longer young. When Spring came around this year again, I had to dethatch my lawn again because so much thatch had been left unraked by the company to begin with. I also had to reseed, to try to get the lawn all one color. We specifically told the company that we needed to have our lawn looking great, so that we might have the option of putting the house on the market within a couple of years. This company was highly recommended, so we are very put out and disappointed. We paid a lot of money for the work, & I ended up having to redo everything myself by hand. I am including pictures of the patchwork looking colors of the lawn, as well as the wheelbarrows full of thatch that I raked and hauled back into my woods. I would definitely not recommend this company.

Came home from work one day to find a large section of my retaining wall tumbled over into my…read moreneighbor's yard. The wall was originally built by the builder before we moved in mid 2004. The wall started to lean slightly within 5 years as it was not built with drainage in mind. This time around, I wanted the retaining wall build the right way. I called Charles and Son Construction & Landscaping to get an estimate because I prefer someone local and was pleased with their online reviews. Carlos arrived as scheduled to write up the estimate. He immediately suggested re-using the blocks since they seemed to be in decent condition and would save money. I met with another company the day prior and was originally planning on getting a 3rd estimate. After getting Carlos' very reasonable estimate and asking a few question regarding timeline, I approved the estimate and was ready to move forward. Just 3 days later, the work started and was finished just 4 days later with a Sunday and a rainy Monday that was a wash out. I was so pleased since this has been on my todo list for the last several years and relieved to have it done correctly. My neighbor was also pleased to get part of his yard back. I highly recommend Charles and Son Construction & Landscaping for any outdoor project. You won't be disappointed. I plan on calling Charles and Son Construction & Landscaping again in a couple of years for driveway and walkway pavers.

a&w is truly an outstanding company…read more.. this'll be a very lengthy review but i make it so to highlight this company's integrity and excellent work ethics... my mom needed a privacy fence so after she saved up the funds i began reading all pertinent reviews and solicited via email 14 fence companies out of those who advertised locally... i had the a&w fence corp. as number 1 on my list because of their most positive reviews and the least negative ones... only 3 of those 14 companies ever responded but i was very glad that a&w fence corp. was among those 3... i set up an appointment with wladimir from a&w at my mom's house and during it we've walked the perimeter of my mom's property as i've explained what i was looking for... wlad said that they've never done some custom mods i wanted but that they were certainly game for it... he emailed me a detailed projected invoice a day or two later... it was near my projected cost so we've decided to not even bother with setting up an appointment with those other 2 companies because after all, a&w was right at the top of my list... i've emailed the other 2 outfits that we're now committed and we've set up a 2nd appointment with wlad at my mom's to sign the official contract... we've signed the contract for the job at the exact price we've been sent the a&w estimate invoice for and gave wlad a down payment check... we had the survey for my mom's property already and we've opted for a&w co. to apply for my mom's township permit on our behalf... wlad told us that it'll be about 3-4 weeks before the factory they use will have all the components in the green color we wanted in stock... it actually took less than 3 weeks for the components to arrive and we've next set up an appointment for the a&w's crew to commence work, which was scheduled for just a few days later... this was all happening much faster than what i've been led to believe by reading reviews on similar jobs and that made my mom and i very happy... the chain link gate had to be custom manufactured due to its non-standard width so wlad told us that it wouldn't be ready for a couple of weeks... thus the crew would have to return for the final installation of the gate at another time... due to my long term disability i frequently am unable to leave my apartment so i was not able to be there when the a&w crew was there to install the fence... so when the a&w work crew arrived i called my mom a few times during that day to check on how the install process was going... my mom was very happy with the work crew and their efficient professional demeanor, they even thoroughly cleaned up after their work leaving no typical in such circumstances 'post construction' type of a mess... however, after they left and my mom sent me several photos of the job completed i immediately noticed that the desired effect i had of the final function of the fence was not achieved... namely the 45 degree outward cant of the top portion of the fence was not there and that stressed me quite a bit because i realized that although we've included the installation of the 45 degree fence top brackets in the contract, there was no actual mention in it that the top of the fence must be canted outwards in such a manner... the crew would have to return and fix the entire install which will obviously incur additional cost in time and expense... i called wlad immediately and said that this is not what we've verbally agreed on as far as what this fence was supposed to look like thus the job will have to be redone somehow... wlad was incredibly nice about it and stated for me to not worry because they'll make this right... soon after, we've made another appointment for the work crew to arrive and fix the job and to also install the custom gate which arrived by now... this time it was fixed to look as i originally envisioned it... i called wlad and gave him the good news... :) wlad is very professional with great integrity and it is truly a pleasure to work with him, i also had very good, fast interaction with the a&w's office staff via e-mail at all times... i wasn't there for the installation job of the work crew but my mom gave them a glowing report to me... this entire fencing job from start to finish was done very fast and the fix, which obviously incurred significant additional cost in time and money, was done completely on a&w's time and dime... we've paid zero additional costs beyond our original contracted cost... it's becoming increasingly rare to find such complete satisfaction with any construction/home improvement outfits... a&w is the best and most stress free company we've ever dealt with - this includes a couple of firms whose owners are family friends - and we're making plans for a&w to do more, smaller fence work around my mom's house front/garden area... such rare companies deserve to be praised and such praise should serve to keep them in business hence my decision to type such a long, comprehensive review... :)

I've worked in real estate and property management for over 25 years and have worked with hundreds of contractors, so I know the difference between average service and exceptional service. Johansen Contracting was professional, efficient, respectful of our home, and made a stressful process so much easier. Their team worked quickly, communicated clearly, and handled everything with care and attention to detail. I truly appreciated how reliable and thorough they were from start to finish. I would highly recommend Johansen Contracting to anyone needing help with a clean-out, purge, donation, or packing project, or any home improvement project.

This was not the first job that NJ's Best Paving has done for us at Tudor Hall. The last job that…read morethey did was the side entranceway to our courtyard. It is made up of all bluestone. They carefully had to reset all the paver bluestone slabs and then reset the steps leading up to the entrance gate. After setting everything in place they used this special grouting material that hardened like concrete and almost matches the bluestone. The job came out so beautiful that we now have to do the other much larger entranceway by demand of the unit owners who are saying how it looks ugly compared to the newly restored area. Like I said earlier they have done a lot of work for us and never a problem. Their work is always done on time if not before the given time. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this company as well as their sister company Snow Hawk.
