We had an agreed upon time (which I took time off work) and four minutes before they were suppose to arrive, I received a text message they would be two hours late.

They didn't arrive for the second agreed upon time and after waiting fifteen minutes I contacted them and was told there were two jobs ahead of me and they would let me know the ETA.

Nice guy, really enjoyed talking with him while he worked and he was very fair with the price. These folks are the Mom & Pop variety shop and have the ability to do the job I needed him for.

I've been happy with every job - and I don't mean "oh good job." I mean darn it, there is somebody who cares what you think and takes pride in their work - real old fashioned hard work second to none. Brady Anderson is the Owner, along with his wife Emily and they do things the right way, they are timely, price competitive and take pride in doing the work with attention to detail. I started out with lawn care - fantastic, even his design from last years mowing is still there and the upcoming grass looks great! So, I needed a few handyman things done - as I'm a disabled vet and there's times I need some help; one - a panel of my privacy fence blew down, Brady was there and fixed it in a couple of hours, looked better than what others have done and didn't kill my bank account! This winter I needed help (what a winter!) and I didn't think twice, cause he just does good work! He even worked where he placed the snow he moved, so that the local road crew, wouldn't create a barricade at the end of the driveway, so I didn't have to throw it in 4 wheel drive just to get out! So, be kind to yourself and give this guy a try - you won't regret it and if you need painting, drywall, scheduled maintenance on your home WHAT EVER, give RED ARROW Property & Lawn Maintenance a shout, I promise you wont regret it!
