Marty is a true handyman, and a really nice guy…read more We have an apartment that's...old. So it has a few things that always need fixing up. And I'll be honest, the handyman we usually work with was booked up for months. It actually seemed like all the handymen were. (There's a pandemic out there, and apparently everyone's taking the time to fix up their home.) Marty let me know that he was busy too, and that he was taking some time to spend with his family (and you can't begrudge someone being a good family man). But he was willing to do the work when he was free, which is all we could ask. I also appreciate how he operates. He'd prefer to get photos/video of what the problems were so he can give you an accurate estimate before even setting foot in the place (saves everyone time), and so he can show up with all the materials necessary (saves everyone time and money). His website is also pretty comprehensive; it lists all the things he does, who he is, how he works, and shows work he's done. That's how I found him, and I'm glad I did. I also like that he's willing to admit what he can't do (in our case, it was more involved electrical work). Some folks claim they can do anything, and will do a less than ideal job; Marty will just recommend someone who he's worked with and can vouch for. In any case, we had a few odd jobs that needed doing, and once Marty let me know when he was available, he was on time, and efficient. He did quality work. I thought the pricing was fair for his time and labor, and I would hire him again. That's really all you can ask from a handyman.

It can be tough to find a handyman/contractor for projects, and even tougher to find one willing to…read moretake on small projects. I was pleased to learn about Marty and HV Handyman from a Yelp review, and even more pleased that the review was written by someone from Yelp I actually know in person. Marty is professional yet casual, a nice combination. He was always quick to get back to me when I contacted him in advance of the work, always in less than 24 hours. When I initially sent him a description of the work and a photo, he got back right away with his estimates of time and materials, and cost. Along the way, he was proactive when it came to things unexpected or little adds. For example, he discovered rodent damage on some of my electrical wires, and he immediately offered to take care of that. Within an hour, he had gone and returned to the local Home Depot with the extra materials to address the issue, and the add-in to the overall cost was again reasonable. He did 99% of the cleanup as well, leaving me with about 5 minutes of work to wipe off some dust after he completed the spackling, sanding, and painting. Marty also doesn't over-book, and he is again up front with what he can and cannot do. I've already discussed another project or two I'd like him to tackle once warmer weather has returned. I only hope he hasn't been swamped with additional work requests based on positive word-of-mouth and word-of-Yelp.

Ricardo was recommended to me by my contractor and we are glad he did. We had a blank slate and…read moreweren't sure what to plant perennials vs annuals so we bought only a few of each plus some evergreens and Ricardo's crew out down some top soil and a weed barrier planted our flowers as best possible. He removed two larger trees that were only half growing and placed red mulch to complete the look. He even sculpted around some shrubs that give an great impression. I would highly recommend him.

Five Stars Just Aren't Enough!…read more I recently had the pleasure of working with Ricardo's Landscaping in Poughkeepsie, NY for a full spring clean-up on my 2-acre property, and I honestly can't say enough good things. Ricardo and his team went above and beyond--edging, trimming, and laying down beautiful sweet peet mulch that brought my gardens to life. My property has never looked this good. The transformation was nothing short of magical. Strangers have literally knocked on my door to compliment the landscaping! It's as if Ricardo poured the love from his heart right into my yard. Every flower bed, every edge--perfection. You can truly feel the care and pride in his work. If you want your property to look spectacular and be cared for with true passion, Ricardo is your guy. I'm already looking forward to working with him again. Highly, highly recommend!

I cannot say enough about Gabe and his team, In May of this year we needed landscaping and we…read morecalled on some of the big landscaping company. One of the companies gave us 3 names of smaller companies ine of them being Gabe. He was the first one we called. He was so respectful and and knowledgeable but did not push himself. We told him we are meeting2 more people and than we will make our decision. As soon as we met the other 2 one was more expensive and was about the same but he was a little less. I we went with our gut feeling the kind not pushy landsccaper. He finished the project one day sooner than it was promised. You never saw a mess all of his workers were quiet and peaceful. Just a clean group of guys. Since May we have used Gabe to cut trees and do so much in our property. We are so greatful to have met him and have him as part of our happy pretty Home. We recommend him with our highest regards. Be aware once he works for you you will just want to do more and more. Just makes everything beautiful. Lili D
