A Cautionary Review of Land Designs by Colton Our Experience…read moreand Lessons Learned Initially, our experience with Land Designs by Colton seemed promising. The project kicked off smoothly, and we had high expectations based on their assurances and professionalism during the early stages. However, as the work progressed, significant issues began to arise, tarnishing our trust and satisfaction with the company. And then they ghosted us. The Tree Planting Disaster One of the first major problems we encountered was with the landscaping aspect--specifically the planting of trees. Out of the nine trees planted, six died within a relatively short time frame. We had been informed that these trees were under warranty for a year, which gave us some initial reassurance. Unfortunately, when we sought replacements for the dead trees under this warranty, the company did not honor their commitment. This was deeply frustrating and marked the beginning of a series of disappointments in dealing with Land Designs by Colton. Contract Issues Another frustration arose when we attempted to obtain a copy of our contract. We had initially accessed the agreement through Google Docs, but it was mysteriously deleted. When we reached out to Land Designs by Colton for a copy, they claimed they could no longer provide it due to changes in their system following an update. This lack of accountability and transparency added to our growing unease with the company. The Deck Extension Debacle The most costly and distressing issue was related to a deck extension they built for us. After the work was completed, we discovered that the extension had not been permitted--they assured us that this was not necessary. As we began the process of obtaining necessary permits, we learned that the construction itself was not done to code. Specific deficiencies included: * Footings that were not deep enough * Railing spindles with uneven spacing * Stairs that failed to meet code requirements These violations have forced us to reconstruct the deck to meet code standards, incurring additional expenses totaling thousands of dollars. In essence, the deck project has doubled in cost due to their negligence. This has been an incredibly stressful ordeal, both financially and emotionally. Conclusion Our experience with Land Designs by Colton has been nothing short of disastrous. What began as a promising relationship quickly deteriorated due to unfulfilled warranties, lack of transparency regarding contracts, and substandard construction practices that led to code violations. We hope our story serves as a warning to others considering working with this company. Proceed with caution and ensure that every aspect of the contract and work is meticulously monitored to avoid similar hardships. Beware of Land Designs by Colton. What seems fine at the start may end up costing you dearly in the end.

Jonathan is among the most unprofessional vendors I have ever come across…read more For background: I hired him to work on my front lawn, and warned him I'd need him to be flexible as I was also getting a fence installed. I paid him half up front and he did some work. When I needed him to return to finish the lawn after the fence was installed, he strung me along on a finish date for months. I tried to press him to finish the job, and he got nasty. I'd often get trapped in circular conversations with his assistant, who hides behind legalese language, while Jonathan's correspondence was filled with condescension, personal attacks, and threats. (As an example: See below his assistant's response as evidence of the kind of legal speak they use, and how they twist it around in their favor. Pegging blame on the customer without accepting responsibility for their own awful service.) And they're thugs. I had to file a police report after he and his workers broke into our backyard _and garage_ to reclaim what he says are his materials. Some $10 pipes. This is something they'll point to in the contract as a thing he has a right to do. Upon terminating his contract for stringing me along, severe unprofessional behavior, and even violating our safety and security, he charged a termination fee. This would be laughable if it weren't so vindictive. Despite it all, I did pay him whatever ridiculous invoice he'd excuse with his contract in order to get rid of all the vitriol he was turning my way. So... Be wary of his, and his assistant's, predatory contract which they rely on to get away with crappy service. You'll know he deems your project to not be lucrative for him, when he gives you side comments about him "doing you a favor." He lacks follow through to complete a job unless it's on his terms, and he lacks professionalism in dealing with client requests. He gets nasty and personal if you get on his bad side. He loves to tout his educational background, as if to reassure you he's somehow different or that you'd be getting excellent service. Don't fall for it. There are plenty of other contractors in the Denver area who do amazing work in a timely fashion without all the drama. Save yourselves the headache.

He has worked on 2 major projects at 2 different houses and I couldn't be more happy. Two additional neighbors like his work and his prices and hired him as well. He answers all my calls or returns my calls later if he's busy. The quotes these landscape contractors in the Denver, Lakewood, Morrison area are quoting are OUT OF HAND and absurd!!! IC Landscaping's quotes are fair and come WAY BELOW these other companies. Just give Ignacio a call before committing to a competitor. You'll be glad you did. I don't write a lot of reviews but just had to share my experience with IC Landscaping.

I've remodeled a lot of houses over a lot of years and Rob is one of the best contractors I've ever worked with. And he brings in equally skilled subs for wood floors, electrical and countertops.

Exceptional Deck Remodeling Experience: Quality, Craftsmanship, and Punctuality…read more I recently had the pleasure of working with Alvaro on a comprehensive renovation of my deck. The decking boards were weather-beaten and splintering, beyond repair. He and his team removed the old decking, added some joists, and installed brand-new composite decking. I cannot praise him and his team enough for their outstanding service and commitment to excellence. He was open to discussing options and listened to my concerns. He has great attention to detail and follows through on his word. He's punctual and communicates clearly. His crew worked very hard on my project. There were no timing or budget surprises and he got the job done quickly and on schedule. Thank you, Alvaro, for transforming my deck into a beautiful and functional outdoor space we can enjoy for years!

I will definitely be using Silerios Remodeling for any projects in the future.

I'm writing to warn others of the terrible experience we have had with our concrete project and our…read morecontractor, Javier Vasquez of DGO Concrete. We chose Javier in the spring of 2018 to complete several concrete projects for us. We needed 2 back patios in colored, stamped concrete, our garage, a stamped, colored walkway, our driveway and an extended front porch. We chose Javier because he came recommended by a few people on Nextdoor, his bid was a few thousand less than others, and he was very friendly. There were problems with the workmanship at nearly every step of this project. The stamping was done poorly on one back patio and they tried to fix it by etching it. This ended up looking like weird calligraphy, and so they ended up tearing up a large portion of it and redoing it. In the winter, one of the back patios and our driveway started to crumble. Initially, we were very patient and understanding, and at first, Javier was accommodating. The problem came when Javier decided to try an overlay to fix our crumbling driveway, rather than tear it up and pour new concrete. He promised that if this didn't work, he would tear up the driveway and pour new concrete. The overlay ended up looking very strange like permanently wet concrete-and you could see all the crumbles underneath. When Javier texted me saying he was at our house to fix the driveway, we were under the impression that he would tear up the driveway and pour new concrete- but instead he put down a stain--without our permission. The "stain" really is paint and looks absolutely awful. In addition to being bumpy because it wasn't sanded down, the color is strange, and the workmanship is very poor. They didn't even tape off the driveway, so when we got home we drove onto it--so now it also has tire marks. In the photo you can see how horrible it looks. It was at this point that Javier ghosted us. He hasn't returned any of our texts, calls or emails in the past two weeks. We are obviously very upset, frustrated and disappointed. So much for choosing the "nice guy" and I guess you get what you pay for.

Javier found us - we were searching for a contractor, but he had stopped at our house while looking…read morefor a neighbor's home. Regardless, we got a quote from him that was reasonable and included a neighborhood discount (as the other neighbor hired him as well). We had a full driveway tear out and replacement, side slab along our house to the backyard, and patterned gray sections added throughout the pour areas. Javier and team did a good job of preparing the area, including rock and stump removal, removal and re-adding of a side fence and gate section, and even took some of our random concrete trash items that had been left by the prior homeowner. The work was done overall in the timeline promised with a few touch up items required the week following (to allow time to cure). Overall, we were pleased in working with Javier, as he was extremely patient with all of our questions and even some minor changes along the way.

Would highly recommend James, especially for older homes.

I had about 9 different brick estimates ranging from the guy who said, "uh...sure...I think I can do this," to the couple who just turned tail and ran away, to companies with price tags that were essentially the cost to build a new home. I did a lot of research and saw pics online of the work put out by Brick Specialists. What I got was even better. Honestly, everyone at Brick Specialists should be wearing capes when they show up at your house. They are heroes. I cannot give enough kudos. First of all, James is the ULTIMATE professional. He is soft-spoken, kind, accommodating and really knows his stuff. The price point was great (not the cheapest, but in this case it's worth it to pay a little more). Beyond that, the work was impeccable. The guys working on the house were so talented, matching mortar, brick type and color with some really antiquated original brick, and fast. Other contractors on site were astonished at the talent of these guys. People walking down the street would stop to comment or give hugs (yes, this happened more than once). You cannot go wrong by hiring this great group of guys!
