We had a collapsed sewer line at our house in Downtown Ithaca. Hubbell was recommended to us by a…read moretrusted contractor. Zach returned my call within the hour and was at our home to check out the problem that evening. He got us into his schedule in less than a week. Zach and his crew worked extremely well with the city crew, muscled through the bitter February cold, unexpected jobsite challenges and, um... unpleasant odors, all with great attitudes and professionalism. Hubbell's quote was fair and their work was excellent. We were lucky to contract with them and will recommend them to anyone needing excavation and sewer repair.

Apparently, communication isn't something his company cares about, even though it should be fundamental in any business. If it were possible to live a negative star, I would. Ultimately, someone else did the work for me in June and July, and it was done efficiently and very effectively.

I used this contractor to put in a 1000 ft of crush rock driveway, connection to the County Sewer…read moreand town water and RGE electrical line up to our future house position. The contractor has a lot of new equipment and our first meeting for a quote I was impressed by his knowledge of the job as we went over the Approved Engineering Plan (EP). He talked me into doing the job as time and material and my only concern at the time was the distance him and his workers had to travel, versus more local companies. Before I agreed to enter into a contract with him, I requested an estimate of what all the work would cost per the EP, that quote was $160,000 and I figure it up to $200,000, as that is what I had quotes from other contractors locally. Since the owner was more impressive than others I talked too, I agreed to the Time and Material cost contract, which in hind sight was a big mistake. This job included grubbing the land up to and around the future house position, along with the driveway, and utilities run from the main road and all precautions that come with a construction site. The job was supposed to be completed per the the Owner of the company by the end of October 2023. The first month went well with a few glitches, but when we got closer to the end of October with not even half the job complete, then he had help issues, equipment issues and a lot of other excuses, then it was supposed to be December, then January and it was completed by March 2024 with two main items still not completed per the EP. During this time I was supposed to be getting an itemized monthly bill to keep track of what money I was providing him. The first Invoice I received was 3 Oct, but after that I had to refuse to pay him anymore, if I did not receive an itemized bill from Oct to 31 Jan 2024. By that time I had provided him $312,000 and told him this project is way over budget and he was draining my saving that I had for building on the property. Total paid before final Itemized bill $456K itemized bill showed less.

They are dangerous, unprofessional, dishonest and asked me numerous times to do shoddy work so they could get a draw for money on their contract. The things they did will result in someone getting hurt. The poorest quality work I've seen in decades. I'm 57 yrs old and have been in the construction business for 40+ years and I can't imagine how they get away with the garbage they create. I've been lucky enough to be part of a few award winning teams in this business from design to actual hands on restoration and finally management. these guys are absolutely the worst I've ever seen. When I quit i went to the customer and showed them photos and gave descriptions of all the shoddy work. Of course now Ivan refuses to pay me for my final week but the Labor board will solve that problem. PLEASE...for Gods sake....look elsewhere.

UPDATE: After seeing this review, Ryan reached out to me immediately explaining the…read moremiscommunication that happened and apologized immensely. He came out to look at the unfinished project immediately and had it fixed within a week. My initial thoughts when booking this project with RyCoe were nothing but positive and I truly believe now it was not done on purpose. I have a lot of respect for the way he handled fixing this and I will continue to use RyCoe for future projects. I am extremely satisfied with the end result.. my landscaping looks beautiful. Extremely disappointed in my services from Rycoe. I reached out to them about landscaping and Ryan came out to take a look at what needed to be done so he could give us a quote. I was very specific about what I needed done and it was listed in a breakdown on the invoice perfectly. It took a while for the guys to come out, but I waited patiently anticipating the final product. The end result came out great until weeds started popping up everywhere. My husband kicked the mulch and we both realized landscape paper was never placed under the mulch like it was talked about AND I PAID FOR. I reached out to Ryan in hopes this would get fixed, and he did respond to me stating that he would look into it and get back to me. It has been 8 months with no communication at all. I wanted to give this company the benefit of the doubt, but it feels like I got scammed. I had even originally asked if they could just use the landscape paper that I had bought since I already had it and I was told no. I paid for a product and service (that was very expensive) and did not get at ALL what I paid for. I am extremely disappointed and will never recommend this company to anyone.
