I’m a hardworking person who doesn’t like to leave projects half finished or looking sloppy, I can be a bit of a perfectionist. I’ve always fixed and built almost everything I needed myself and I take pride in being self sufficient. I’ve been an electrician for a year and half now and before that I was fabricating aerators for private residences. I have a wife and two children, so I can handle the chaos of a whole house remodel even if you decide to alter any details halfway through.

"“Super happy with the work from Barrier Windows! We worked with Neil in measuring and ordering my mom’s window and he was awesome. The crew came out and completed the work in 1/2 day. My mom lives in an older home and was worried about any challenges the crew may encounter but the install went smooth. Neil was professional, friendly, truly knowledgeable, and extremely helpful. I recommend Barrier Windows.” Peggi Little"

"I cannot, unfortunately, join in the rave reviews this company gets.  Let me explain in detail.
 
Last fall I moved into a new home, and the builder did a crappy job with the lawn.  In the spring, I paid Nagas $4,000 for what was supposed to be a fresh start with lots of topsoil, plus grass seed and straw.  The topsoil cost was double the initial informal estimate Jason provided in person (which he later said was based on last year's prices).  To be fair, the $800/load price was reflected on the written estimate I agreed to.  But the point is, this lawn was a substantial investment.  (And Nagas can be a bit aggressive about seeking quick payment.) 
I received no instructions whatsoever on caring for the new lawn, weed control, fertilizing, when to mow, how much to water, or what to expect as far as progress during the first season.  I also got the impression that Jason and his company were perhaps stretched too thin.
Five weeks later, my yard looked like an abandoned lot.  The new grass was, at best, patchy.  The front yard was choked with all sorts of exotic looking weeds, much of which I now know was hard-to-eradicate nutsedge.  There were all sorts of bare spots.  I brought my concerns to Jason, who claimed the new grass was progressing as well as possible given the hot weather in early spring.  Jason's people came out (at no charge) to spray and overseed.  The grass finally seemed to pick up in quantity, but it doesn't look anything close to thriving.  It's still thin, pale, and rather patchy, and often has a yellow/brown cast despite a wet summer and regular watering. 
Since then, I have used Nagas for biweekly mowing at a rate of $50 per visit.  Several times the mowing crews cut landscape lighting wires (this stopped after I brought it to their attention) and left big muddy ruts (which are now bare patches) from their large mowing equipment. 
On June 28, I alerted Jason that there was a serious weed problem that needed to be addressed.  A few days later he informed me that he had sprayed but "may need to spray again."  He also mentioned he would seed again in the fall.  If this spraying indeed happened (I wasn't billed), it had no effect whatsoever.  Nutsedge, I've come to learn through the research I've had to do on my own, just laughs at ordinary herbicides.  Jason's emails referred to spraying for "broadleaf."  So I now assume he didn't understand the problem he was dealing with. 
It's now August, and I've become alarmed that the front yard is being overtaken with nutsedge, a weed that's ugly and very difficult to eradicate.  Today, I wrote Jason about this.  His advice was to wash his hands of the matter and suggest I call Scott's or Trugreen.  I have all the emails documenting the above-described interactions. 
I consider this unsatisfactory for an A-rated professional landscaping company.  I had assumed that, being a small local business where you deal with the owner himself, Nagas sought to form ongoing client relationships.  To my mind, that involves customer education, monitoring, and followup when they've done an expensive installation and I've brought problems to their attention.  By referring to future spraying and seeding, Jason led me to believe that my lawn was under his ongoing care and concern, not just a one-off job.  His crew is here every other week.  Jason is supposed to be the lawn care expert, not me.  Up until now, Jason has responded quickly when I've expressed concerns.  But the point is that those actions have been completely ineffective, and he obviously wasn't monitoring the problem as I believe he should have once it was brought to his attention in late June, to try to assure a successful resolution (i.e., healthy, weedless grass).  As a result, I am left with an anemic lawn, an ugly mess of nutsedge, and a threat to my $4000 grass investment.  
Jason's response today -- "My guys that mow have no formal training except for mowing.... I do not just drive around and look at yards unless I have been asked to check on something.  I think using one of the larger companies that specialize in lawn weeds is your best bet." -- shows he is washing his hands of the problem. 
If Nagas is not going to provide customer education and ongoing maintenance and support, then they should not be in the lawn-installation business to begin with, or it should made clear at the outset that once the seed is in the ground, the customer is on his own and needs to hire Scott's pronto.  In my case, the expectations and responsibilities were left ambiguous.  I accept some responsibility for this.  But on all these facts -- especially the ineffective response to specific problems and lack of follow through to see that the problem was resolved, i.e. that the weeds were under control --  an "A" rating and "super service award" certainly cannot be justified.

"He mounted a TV way to big for me and the fiance could handle! He had it done quickly with no mess.. Also installed a smart thermostat for us! Very glad we hired Home base we will definitely use again!"

"They showed up in my neighborhood to perform work for my neighbors. I asked them to look at a couple of my trees. They gave me an estimate and I liked the price. They said they could remove the trees in a couple hours starting the same day. They were in and out in 3 hours counting cleanup.
These guys removed my trees with precision in a rather confined area. I had flower beds, flower pots on my deck, and bird feeders all in a fenced in area. I was skeptical but they dropped every branch exactly where they wanted to. Everything in my yard looks exactly like it did the day before except no dead trees."

"It went very well. The paint job looks great. I let them choose the color. There were no paint drips on the sidewalks or the house, they cleaned up when they were finished. We had quotes for much higher. They are very nice and easy to work with."

"Great. It was performed with care of the property and fast."
