"03/06/2025 I hired Joseph Garies to do: 1. Bathroom remodeling; 2. Veneer stone tile installation at my BBQ area. Joseph Garies, North East Development LLC, RI License #GC-17083 CRLB Complaint C-25-78 Friday (03/28/2025) Joseph Garies asked me to pay (in full) him for these two contracts works. He promised that he will complete everything next day Saturday (03/29/2025) and Monday (03/31/2025). Friday Joseph Garies received the payment he requested and left. Joseph Gari didn’t show up Saturday. He didn’t show up Monday. Monday afternoon (03/31/2025) I got a text message from him, that he doesn’t want to do anything. It is not first Joe Garies takes customers money and run away. Actually, it’s a criminal act. ANGY Gail C. 06/2024 I hired Joe Garies…... I paid him in full. However, he did not finish the project. He gave me excuse after excuse, saying he would finish the project and be there on a particular day, but then that day would come, and Joe would send a text giving me a new excuse that he could not make it…... He said he would fix it when he returned to finish the job. That never happened…… Joseph Garies left the contract work unfinished with many defects. On May 7 Joe Garies agreed to compete the contract but so far it is not done. Joe Garries installed the water valves backwards (upside down). So, the valves operate wrongly. As a result: instead of a hot water we have a cold water and verse vise. I’m afraid to use it. Joe Garies installed veneer stone completely unprofessional: a) at the corners veneers should cut tight (no gap), cut at 45 degrees (similar wood boards); b) the top should be made of a flat flagstone. During the sidewall disassembly you removed Black Timber LOK Screws, about 78 pcs. Since you left the work, these screws are missing. Joe Garies destroys customers properties where he worked. ANGY Brian D. hired Joe Garies. 04/2025 WORST experience ever! If i could rate with negative stars, …..The "company" arrived at least 3 hours late every day to begin work. Owner was asking for money every day. The company left the broken pipe and sheetrock onsite and still haven't picked it up. They destroyed my lawn, cracked my entire concrete driveway that now needs replacement. They also punctured a gutter and garage trim (they did fix gutter and some trim). I now have to also regrade lawn, and fix trim. I do have to add they pulled one shrub as part of the job. They did pull out 3 other shrubs for me, which Joe offered for the work. He continuously told me he did the shrubs as a favor, and should be viewed as "helping me out" and should help to overlook some of the other issues/damage that occurred. This "company" shouldn't be allowed to be in business! Working on the Stone Installation project Joe Garies severely damaged / ruined the stamping concrete patio. To clean it costs $840.00 I sent to Joe Garies a number of emails, asking him to finish the contract. He promised each day to be here, but he never showed up."

"Rich and his team were fantastic to work with! He was very responsive to all my questions and even came out on a Sunday to look at the project. Our chimney looks beautiful and they were able to accommodate our tight timeline. Price was extremely reasonable compared to the other quotes I received. Hire Rich and his team for your next masonry project. You will not be disappointed! Highly recommend. "

"Avoid! Capital?s quote was significantly more than others but they stated it was due to ?quality? of work and reputation. Lies! The project (yard drainage, pavers) took months and is still a full mess! Attached are photos- I was gaslighted stating that I was ?impossible to please? and would ?never be happy?- judge the work for yourself! Project was over $40,000 and this is what they found acceptable! If you still choose them (?) then make sure an attorney reads anything you sign as every minuscule detail must be written or they will not take any responsibility! And read financing terms very carefully as they scroll through the contract speaking but the content does NOT match what they spew! Then the threats start demanding approval for the terrible, incomplete job. You?ll be ignored and ghosted once they get their money after placing in writing the modifications that will (not) occur!"

"They did a great job I would recommend them to anybody who wants a great company and wants a great experience "

"Shaun did a fantastic job replacing my front walk way. He is very professional and talented in his trade. He explained everything to me suggested what type of pavers were best suited for my walkway. The job was started on time and he worked extremely hard removing tree roots out of the old walkway. He is the only mason who took the time to explain everything to me. I would highly recommend Shaun and his company to anyone. Shaun is the best!"

"Ince my install date was confirmed, I was told that the crew would be out between 9-10a on Monday 6/1. Promptly at 9am Ramon and Giovanni arrived and began getting set up. I was introduced to both of them and brought them down to where the control box was going to be installed. From there, they were off to work. They were super efficient, super professional and very neat. Anything they touched or moved, they put back. They were done within a few hours and gave me a quick tutorial on the controller before going out and checking the system and the directions of the sprinkler heads one last time. I was beyond impressed and very happy I made the decision to use YardWorks. "

"They did a good job, good price excelente service."

"I was able to set up an appointment with Joe to quote my project. He arrived on time. The quote was competitive and I decided to have him do the job. The job was completed on time and well done. His crew was friendly and conscientious. The job (stone wall repair and power washing patio/drive) turned out great and we would definitely use Joe again."

"Sign contract April 4th 2025 was told would take two to three weeks this job was removing pressure treated and replacing with composite material we picked out samples from local building material outlet and showed so-called supervisor what we wanted was told he would be ordering them funny thing where we got the samples all items were in stock at least a week delay items had to be special ordered what we were told another special order for the railings another week delay called or message several times to correct mistakes July 4th is just around the corner job is still not complete"

"Care Free Homes do a great job of listening to design inputs, take care of all the details such as permitting, and most importantly do good quality work. What they build will last."
