"Greg promoted his service on Angie's list for $200 for 6 hours and I bought it.  He  showed up more or less on time (15 min late but no big deal), started assessing the work right away and pulling the wires.   One hour late another (very young) person showed up to join him, but it was clear he was very inexperienced and couldn't perform any work on his own.   By noon Greg said the "6 hour deal" is up because they have two peoples working, I absolutely refused to pay the apprentice the same rate because if anything he was slowing things down.  Greg grudgingly told me "don't worry about it".  
By 1pm two ceiling fan was up (only one worked) but Greg went to his other job (several towns away) for two hours which made me very anxious and to the point of upset because I was gravely concerned that he won't have time to finish all the projects I laid out for him.  I tried to call him several times but couldn't reach him.  While waiting for him, I chatted with the apprentice briefly and found out he just started from high school started apprenticeship several days ago.   
When Greg came back he finished wiring ceiling fan, the motion sensor lights and at my insistence, installed two lights in the attic, but it was too late to do anything else.   I paid him for additional time beyond the 6 hours but voiced my displeasure about his two-hour absence and the fact that I had to take a day off work for him.   He simply said "that's the way it is".  Greg left all the waste (cardboard boxes, Styrofoam, etc) in the house instead of hauling them away, or at least taking it to the trash dumpster.  
Overall I am satisfied with the quality of the work he did, but disappointed at his lack of professionalism.

"Service was performed as requested. Update of old electrical wiring was undertaken successfully so new lighting could be installed. I would use this client again.

"L&B Services did a tear down and rebuild of an old deck. They really know how to build a solid deck with poured cement footings, sauna tubes, and sturdy lumber. Bob was very good at keeping us informed of the work to be done and the timeline. The deck was done on time. It is a large deck (30x12) with 3 sets of stairs, dog gates, and skirting. The end result was a sturdy deck that will last for decades. Very easy and personable group to work with."

"Professional workmanship. Gave quote one day and came back the next to complete the job."

"They kept it clean, and I had no problems with them."

"Work agreed to: 1) level a slope, 2) build stone patio, 3) install fence. Period of performance told by the contractor was 5 days to a week and a half. Work started May 16. By June 3 project was not half complete. Contractor delivered pile of dirt and pile of gravel and railroad ties for retaining walls. Contractor did some work. If reasons given were accurate, then some missing days for medial were reasonable but after three weeks there were several issues: 1) the work was only about halfway complete after three weeks, 2) the slope remained which can't be used since it's needed for a shed, bee hives, and raised beds, 3) the rear retaining wall was already leaning and losing dirt from only one rain. With these concerns I consulted two other landscapers who immediately identified problems with the wall as well as the slope, that it would not hold through one winter. In addition, contractor may not have contacted Digsafe, public utilities, and city public works for permission to proceed with any excavation. I have a lot more details including inconsistent texts"

"Gui was a delight to work with. He knows his business and provided me with an onsite quote to speed the start of work. I was really grateful to Gui and his team for double checking design elements with me, making corrections when needed, and for staying late to do thorough cleanup. Looking forward to having Gui and his team complete more work for us in the near future."
