"I was referred to Jodi based on good feedback I heard from a Holistic Event here. It was a very insightful consultation and I decided to try Cbd to help with my anxiety. Jodi also recommended l-theanine, which I purchased at peoples pharmacy. The Cbd I purchased through Jodi and over the past 3 weeks, I have felt a significant improvement. I appreciated her telling e to keep my doctor in the loop, and is very educated about herbs and EFT techniques. Very happy with her services."

"Initially we were excited to work with Matt and Sunnie Channel- Matt has great charisma and talked over details with us about a deck design we came up with- offering tips on what he would do differently and truly appearing to care about the project. They provided a great design that we were happy with so we decided to move forward with Southern Outdoor Appeal. We signed our contract in February 2024 with written assurance that the project would be complete by the end of May/first week of June as I was planning my daughters 2nd birthday party that was going to be held in the backyard and needed it to be complete by then. Months went by without any movement. I began emailing asking when we would expect to begin framing, worried we were pushing close to the end of May and no work had begun and I was met with many excuses. I was then informed Matt tried to subcontract the job and was planning to keep the 30% deposit we placed in February and there was no discussion about this with him or Sunnie. They expected the company they were trying to dump our project on to eat this cost and finish what had not even begun. It all unraveled more from here when I personally spoke with three other neighbors in Circle C who were dealing with the same situation. Some of these families lost much more than the almost $6k we put down. 1+ years have gone by without movement for some of these other families which is appalling. They are STILL met with excuses as to why no work has been completed but are so financially invested they don’t know what to do. When my husband called to cancel the project and request our 30% deposit back (as no work AT ALL had begun), he was met with resistance from Matt. He even mentioned my daughters birthday party as a reason not to cancel the project- trying to guilt us into continuing the project so we could host the party. From our perspective, he likely had no intention to ever begin the project/or could have begun framing and halted work after receiving more payment installations-as is the case with other families in the Circle C area. On top of all of this- Matts wife, Sunnie, finally replied to one of my many emails regarding refund after I offered to pay $1000 for two 20min or less visits by Matt for his “time” but asked they pay the difference from the 30% deposit. In her email, she agreed to this repayment plan and even sent a credit memo. I waited months and never received any money. She finally cancelled my Venmo request days ago (which is how I initially paid them)- indicating she has no intention of fulfilling her side of the deal. They have no right to my or anyone else’s money as it appears they are not using it toward its intended purpose. God forbid something awful is going on behind closed doors for their family but if that’s the case, don’t even start a project you know you can’t finish. It is not fair to the people who are investing/trusting them. I highly encourage anyone considering working with them to not. Do not make the same mistake we did."

"Hired Alphonse of Alphascapes and paid him by credit card a 50% deposit to replace my tile in 2023. He never came back to start the job. After waiting 8 months I asked for a refund and he promised to bring a check. He has never refunded my money."

"We used Jim DeMeo to build our backyard swimming pool this summer. We are over the moon!! Jim is extremely responsive, was on site all the time managing the subcontractors, and was there at every turn to answer our questions. We had some unexpected challenges with permitting in the city we live in, but Jim helped us find creative solutions so that we could still have an environment that we are beyond pleased with. From providing references, taking us on a tour of pools that he has finished in our area, respecting our budget and providing suggestions to fit within it, and answering all of our first time pool owner questions, Jim did everything with a smile and extremely thoroughly. We have already recommended him to our family and friends, & will continue to do so to anyone who asks. Shopping local instead of with a big pool building company led to a very personalized experience that we would do again in a heart beat!"
