I haven't done a yelp review in awhile but felt compelled to do one on this company. I first came…read moreacross this company in August 2022 after driving in my neighborhood past their work truck which had the owner's, Raul Ponce, contact info advertised on the side including all the services they provide so I texted him later and he quickly responded. We then made an appointment to meet and he came by to look at my backyard project which needed a new concrete walkway after I got foundation repair and a new drainage system installed last year by a different company. He later texted me an estimate which was much less than the other estimates I received so of course I was excited to hire him especially since he's a veteran, minority owned business in my Ward and literally right around the corner from me! I felt this could be the beginning of a new working relationship since I need other work done around my house. I asked for a sketch or simple rendering of what he intended to do but he never responded nor provided one...he just showed up one day and started working without letting me know while I was at work! It was a little crazy to come home to no concrete walkway in my backyard and a big pile of broken chunks of concrete in my backyard!! Anyway, what should have taken 3-5 days to complete took him 12 days to complete because he kept leaving my project to go work on other projects without even calling or texting me to let me know what was going on! I He eventually finished and even cut my front and back yards for free during this time which I think he felt he had to do as a courtesy because he took so long to finish my project. So if you're looking for someone in Ward 7 that can cut grass very well, then contact him. For anything else, I recommend watching him like a hawk and if he disappears, ask him when is he coming back and hold him to it! You would think I would have learned my lesson after my concrete walkway project but oh no, I wanted him to come back to beautify my treebox which he did in October for $375 that included 16x16 concrete pavers, mulch, power-washing the sidewalk and removing chipped paint from my front threshold. He did a good job with the treebox and power-washing the sidewalk but he never came back to remove the chipped paint from my front threshold!! I have called, texted and emailed him since October with no response! I then called him from my coworkers desk phone this past Monday and to my surprise, he answered...I asked him to come back and finish but he sounded like he either didn't remember me or what I was talking about! I even got in touch with his daughter who owns G&V&R General Contractors with her husband in Hyattsville and she sent her son and crew to my house to look at what Raul didn't finish and I even offered to pay them to install some replacement brick pavers around the base of my handrail which they said they would take care of the following week but they never came back either!! I called them again and they said they felt that it was really Raul's responsibility to finish his work which is true but obviously Raul is not going to finish so I'm left with doing this review. His daughter is very nice and she tried to help me but according to her, Raul initially told her that he didn't know what I was talking about but then his story changed and he told her that he fixed the problem as of this past Wednesday according to her text! I was so excited to get her text but when I got home later that night, I noticed nothing had been done and my front threshold still has ugly chipped paint on it that I paid Raul to remove in October and here it is December and its still not done!! So I texted her and Raul pics of the threshold yesterday morning as proof that he obviously lied but neither of them responded so I guess that means this is the end and I just need to move on and pay someone else to do it along with the other jobs I was going to pay Raul to do. So if you hire him just keep in mind that if he lies to his daughter, imagine what he would do to YOU!! Raul gets 3 stars because he can do most landscaping jobs including planting and building decks based on the pics he sent me during my project that he later apologized for leaving to work on building someone else's deck, but you must keep an eye on him!
