We focus on all kind of projects, big or small. We do your traditional Landscaping such as cut grass, trim bushes/trees, pull weeds. We also work on bigger projects like creating new back or front yards and patios, and all kind of cement work. We work all year around and do our best to give the customers the best affordable price out there. We shovel during the winters and paint all year around, as well as much more.

"We do not recommend Hernanadez Landscaping. After at least 3 requests to for a written estimate, including the night before the project (we had to call for the arrival time), it was never provided. Red Flags! Jerry claims he sent it via the Angi app, and that he isn't given any personal contact information. However, he had previously asked for and gotten my personal email. When he first came to give an oral estimate, we liked the crew and agreed that they would install a walkway that matched the pavers of a connecting walkway, remove some trees and a brush pile, and clean the patio. When they arrived to start, we were told they didn't have the matching pavers. When we spoke with Jerry on the phone, it seemed he wasn't entirely sure which job was ours. At this point we cancelled the walkway project but asked him to do the other part of the job. The next thing we knew, the crew was packing up to leave. Jerry took no responsibility for the problems. One star is for the nice crew."

"I was with the contractor that made me think that because my good credit I was getting a good financing interest around 7% and he did not tell me that my granite steps had to be removed, he told me after the loan went through at a rate of almost 14% at this moment I would like to cancel the project, I am under a lot of stress and having back issues I am afraid that because I take time off from work I am not going to be able to pay for this high interest loan."

FAQs for guest house building service projects in Chelsea, MA

The standard construction timeline for a villa ranges from eight to 18 months, depending on its complexity and size. Factors affecting this schedule include architectural intricacy, permitting processes, seasonal construction limitations, and material availability. Custom luxury villas with specialized features require additional time for proper execution. Planning and design phases preceding actual construction can add several months to the overall project timeline.

Many villa projects encounter issues from inadequate budgeting that fails to account for contingencies and upgrades. Poor contractor selection based primarily on low bids often leads to quality issues and timeline delays. Insufficient attention to foundation and site preparation can lead to structural problems throughout the building's lifespan. Frequent design modifications during construction significantly increase costs and extend timelines, while overlooking energy efficiency considerations impacts long-term operating expenses.

Villas incorporate more sophisticated architectural elements, requiring specialized construction techniques. Their emphasis on indoor-outdoor living spaces demands thoughtful integration of structural and aesthetic considerations. Many villa designs incorporate luxury amenities that require specialized installation expertise. Local building codes may impose additional requirements for villas in certain communities, particularly those with architectural review boards or historical preservation guidelines.

This decision depends on current real estate market conditions, available inventory, and your specific preferences. Existing villas offer immediate occupancy and established landscaping but may require renovations to meet current tastes. New construction provides complete customization and modern systems, but it involves longer timelines and potential construction challenges. The premium for new construction varies significantly by location, with some markets offering minimal price differences while others show substantial gaps.

Villa maintenance requirements depend largely on size, materials, and included amenities. Exterior elements, such as gardens, pools, and architectural details, require regular upkeep. Major systems, including HVAC, roofing, and plumbing, benefit from preventative maintenance programs. Establishing relationships with reliable service providers helps manage these ongoing requirements efficiently and economically.
