This was my first engagement with Olive Branch Service LLC. My neighbor recommended them based on…read moretheir excellent concrete work on her parking pad. I bought a rowhouse with a 1 car garage and gravel parking pad. The garage had quite a bit of deferred maintenance over the decade or so since it was built. The roof leaked. There was cracked plastic siding, some wood rot to the underlying plywood, and rotting exterior trim. The concrete garage floor was badly cracked and poorly repaired, allowing water in during the winter that would froze on the garage floor. Olive Branch did an excellent job removing and replacing the roof with upgraded architectural shingles. They replaced rotten plywood and trim, installed a vapor barrier, then re-sided the garage with upgraded Hardiplank siding. The concrete floor was demoed, removed and hauled off, then the garage floor and gravel parking pad were replaced with high-strength cement. A new french drain along the garage door keeps the rain out. The estimate was clear, accurate, and reasonable. The service was spot-on. Work crews showed up on time and didn't leave a mess. Tim oversaw all the work and ensured the job went as planned. He made sure all those minor hiccups that happen in every job were resolved to my satisfaction. I'm very pleased with the outcome and will definitely use Olive Branch again for my next exterior project.

Provided additional plants creating a border garden along side of the retaining wall and providing grass seed to help my bare green space turn green.

He sounded very nice and he immediately came out to provide a free estimate. I checked with my coworkers and they were blown away with how affordable the estimate was in comparison to their experiences with other tree services.

My wife and I were so impressed with their service. I would definitely use them again and highly recommend.

Mr. Wynes did a wonderful job and was the best home construction contractor that we have had in almost 30 years as a home owner.

Dadestar's attention to detail, clean up and final punch list was superlative. We had a hard deadline which Dadestar met including cleanup and lawn remediation. This was the best contracting experience we have had and we highly recommend Dadestar for your contracting needs. Mr. Wynes is welcome to should his work for us to any prospective client.

We felt like he always kept us updated on progress, kept the three week project on schedule, asked for feedback and was open to our small design additions as the project progressed.

Their work and craftsmanship were excellent, they were super friendly, and they cleaned up every single day before they left the job site. We are so happy with our new porch/walkway/driveway.

I saw the temperatures dip and I bought a dethatcher to get to work. I set this weekend aside to do the work. I scheduled another company to come do the aeration. I spent Friday afternoon and Saturday morning mowing low and dethatching. At 2:30, the person supposed to do the aeration told me their machine broke. It was scheduled to rain at 4pm so I was a little frantic. Luis was able to fit me in at 4:20 and his team got to work. Luckily the rain held off. As they were aerating, I was overseeding lol. Started to drizzle as we were all finishing up. I managed to lay down some fertilizer just before the rain intensified. I can't thank Luis enough for doing such a last min job and considering it was just to aerate. They drove all the way from laurel just to help me out. More than the work itself, I really speak to the kindness he showed. Even when he arrived, we had a very nice conversation and it was just overall a nice exchange. I'll def look to work with Luis and his team again in the future.
