I had a horrible experience with this company. My neighbor hired them to do leaf and Sweetgum ball…read moreremoval. This company brought a processing truck that appears to have violated the law as it processed the leaves and balls in residential areas. First and foremost, it created so much dust that you could not see through the dust cloud to the other side. But also, the workers did not bother to check to see if neighbors' windows were open before starting, and mine were. This truck was sitting about 10 feet from my open windows, producing an amount of air pollution that was in no way legally acceptable for a residential neighborhood, and a huge dust cloud from the organic matter that they were processing blew into my house, all over my belongings, on my cats, and my cats started sneezing and running around frantically. I literally had to do two days of emergency cleaning after they left (including hiring house cleaners). And that was just the inside of the house. Thank goodness I was home to get the cats to safety. It was so stressful. When I went outside to tell them to control their dust, the workers offered to clean my car for me, as if that would make it all better, which was just bizarre, and the least of my concerns in that moment. I had dust in my hair, in my mouth, all over my clothes, and in my ears and eyes, plus it was also all over the house and all over my belongings around the house. Further, the I'm certain that the noise exceeded the legal residential noise limit. Also, the workers trespassed all over my property , including my front porch, and left piles of leaves all over my plants, which would have likely killed them if not removed. I have pictures and video to prove all of this. I thought of calling the company and demanding that they come back to make everything right, but I really don't want a company that is this oblivious and careless anywhere near my house ever again, plus what they did was too problematic to imagine that they could realistically make amends. It was truly horrific. If this review is removed for any reason I will follow up with a BBB complaint and a formal complaint with the county. On a side note, what this company is doing at large is extremely environmentally damaging to Monarchs and other endangered species. If you don't know about leaf removal, google it.

TL;DR As a young company, I believe Bart Outside Solutions has a lot of areas to work on such as…read morehandling customer concerns in a professional manner, being transparent from beginning to end, and providing reliable communication and scheduling. The lead contractor seemed friendly and trustworthy at first, but over time I realized that his actions did not match his words. I ended up using Bart Outside Solutions again for a roof replacement in the Spring of 2021. He offered a very low price (red flag) but assured me he had the expertise to get the job done. It was my mistake to have trusted him and take his word for it. I didn't even consider getting quotes from other companies because I had confidence in their workmanship at the time. Less than 3 months after the roof was replaced, the roof above my utility room started leaking during a thunderstorm and the room started flooding (pictured). I reached out to the company immediately and they offered to stop by the following morning to patch the roof. Sure enough, they were at the house around 7 am and on my roof to patch it up. It appeared that the pipe above the utility room was the source of the leak. I left for work in the middle of their job but when I got home, I found that they simply put tape around the pipe (pictured). I was in disbelief that that would be considered a "patch" by someone who considers himself a professional. Needless to say, I was not satisfied. I decided to let the experts inform me about the condition of the roof. The following week, I had 3 roofing companies come out to assess the roof and the patch and all 3 independently came to the same conclusion: the roof was not replaced properly and needed a 2nd full roof replacement. One of the major flaws was the fact that the company improperly reused old insulation boards from the previous roof to attach to a different roofing material (pictured). These insulation boards sit on top of the plywood that was also supposed to be replaced, if damaged. However, the insulation boards were never removed to even assess the condition of the plywood. As a result, the new roofing material did not adhere to the board properly, leaving multiple gaps in between the sheets (pictured). The roofing material was also poorly installed around all the roof structures with scraps protruding out (pictured). There are still soft spots on the roof, which is a clear indication that damaged plywood still remains. I am now left with a 3 month old roof that is in worse condition than the 10+ year old previous roof. The worst part of the whole situation is not even the roof -- it's the way the lead contractor handled the situation when confronted with the issues. His first response was to immediately retaliate and argue that I paid a low price for the roof replacement therefore I should not be expecting the same standard as a regular roof. He added that my warranty would be activated and offered to stop by on his own time to patch the roof "in a proper way", to which I declined. I don't know anyone who would trust a contractor again after they placed tape on a damaged roof and called it a patch. Later the company used excuses such as an unrelated personal matter to justify why they were initially upset and made accusations of me. And lastly after the suggestion of a possible reimbursement was brought up, they quickly pointed out a technicality on their part where they titled the contract "roof repair" instead of "roof replacement" even though every written and verbal correspondence with the company over the course of 9 months (pictured) used the words "roof replacement" and the contract itself contained language pertaining to roof replacements, such as "replace flashing, replace damaged plywood, replace shingle roof". I'm not sure how the technicality of the words is even a justification for the poor workmanship. They also later denied there was ever a warranty on the job, although verbally the lead contractor would say multiple times in conversation that there was a "10 year warranty" for all his jobs, not to mention the email they sent just 36 hours prior stating that the warranty was in effect. Apparently there is only a warranty when it's convenient for the business. Sadly, it seems like this was their last ditch effort to once again divert the blame and make excuses instead of handling the situation appropriately. At this point, I am no longer in communication with the company because I realize now that I am not dealing with a professional. I would respect the company more if they took ownership of the faulty roof and admitted to taking on a job they had very little experience with. My hope is that they would grow from this experience and learn to communicate with clients professionally, especially when valid issues about their work are brought up. It takes courage for a business to own up to a mistake. It's much easier to deny it or make excuses for it.

He took time to understand my priorities and qualified them with precision on paper. More importantly Jimmy is a great guy! He is super nice, he knows his trade, and he's got a can-do attitude. I am glad to have heeded Jimmy's advice to install a bamboo barrier to help keep neighbor's weeds roots from entering my newly restored garden.

Discount Asphalt (240-549-2669) crushed it on all fronts. Communication & Assessment: I reached out via the contact form on their website and was pleasantly surprised by how quickly they got back to me. They came out for an assessment shortly after and gave straightforward, candid feedback--zero sales double-speak or fluff. Their proposal was fair, transparent, and very reasonable. Execution & Timing: They scheduled the job a week in advance. While they ended up starting one day later than planned, it was a minor delay and they handled everything smoothly once on site. Their crew knocked out the entire job in a single day: removing the old, broken asphalt, laying down the new driveway, and applying the sealant. Workmanship & Cleanliness: My biggest concern was keeping asphalt and sealant off our bordering concrete and pavers. They promised to protect those surfaces and delivered 100%. The crew was hardworking, courteous, and exceptionally respectful of our home. When they finished, they cleaned up so well the site was spotless--a night-and-day difference compared to messy crews I've hired in the past. Before leaving, they took the time to explain how to properly care for the new driveway and gave exact timing on when to remove the tape and drive on it. If you want quick responses, fair pricing, quality work, and a crew that respects your property, you can't go wrong with Discount Asphalt.
