"The first red flag is representing himself as Steve Perez on Angi’s list when in fact his name is Ziv. There’s the hard sell and false promises (finish a kitchen remodel in 5-6 weeks) when it took 4 months. Unprofessionalism is an understatement. He communicates through texting like a teenager and screams at the client when in fact errors are his fault or his sub-contractors. We provided appliance specs very early in the process and the electrician still made errors for which Ziv wanted us to pay for. The cabinets delivered were incomplete which he blamed on us. He demanded a final payment and threatened to put a lean on our house when the work was incomplete per the contract. Then Subs starting calling demanding payment which was resolved after we provided cashed checks to Sonart Construction. Don’t believe what I say. Read the BBB review complaints for a well-deserved F rating."

"Neil and his team are consummate professionals. He is incredibly responsive and was very diligent throughout the permitting process and very patient with the local building department. As soon as permits were issued his team was ready to go and got the job done well. Very clean after the job was done making sure our property had no debris left behind. Would hire him again in a heartbeat for future projects."

"WARNING: DAN IS THE BIGGEST LIAR, HE WILL PROMISE ANYTHING UNTIL HE GETS THE MONEY. We hired DANN FROM PREFERRED POOL AND PAVERS (PPP) to install a paver driveway and walkways to the front of our house and the backyard. Within a month we started experiencing problems with the installation and the quality of the pavers. 1) The pavers we ordered are called MEGA SMOOTH. We have pictures of the driveway that show how NOT SMOOTH, uneven the pavers were installed; 2) The aggregate in the pavers is popping out causing holes and the pavers are degrading, 3) The pavers are moving and separating causing large gaps, 4) 2 types of pavers, "Mega Smooth" and Mega Stone" were intermixed in the installation. We were told the difference in the pavers was Mega Smooth is a 3 piece paver and Mega Stone is a 2 pc paver. This is not true, the shape/texture is very different. PPP made several unsuccessful attempts to repair the problems. New pavers were ordered to replace defective pavers, but PPP, nor the factory, could communicate what the quality standard is for the pavers to determine which pavers would be replaced from a factory defect. Also, when the first pallet of replacement pavers arrived, it was the wrong color. PPP disappeared after this. Finally, the pavers were never sealed. I BELIEVE IN KARMA AND I KNOW WHAT YOU GIVE ALWAYS COMES BACK. DAN YOU STOLE MY $20000. HERE ARE A FEW OF MANY PICTURES OF WHAT I MENTIONED ABOVE. THESE ARE 2 MONTHS AFTER THE INSTALLATION AND YOU HAVE SEEN THIS FIRST HAND. THEY WOULD BE PERFECT FOR YOUR WEBSITE SO EVERY ONE CAN SEE YOUR HORRIBLE WORK. DAN ENJOY MY $20000 UNTIL KARMA HITS."

"We engaged Tropical Outdoor Solutions through our landscape architect for a total renovation of the exterior of our property. In addition to replacing nearly all plantings, our project involved laying new drainage pipes and installing entirely new irrigation and lighting systems. The results were at best disappointing. In many cases, Tropical was unable to obtain prescribed plantings, necessitating unsatisfactory substitutions. Some of these were so small that they stood little chance of surviving, including two trees that looked more like none too healthy saplings. Plantings were unevenly spaced in many places. Failure to level the ground after excavation created uneven turf. Sod was laid blocking two gutter drainage outlets. No irrigation was provided for an area of shrubbery. Metal edging had to be revised several times. Landscaping of a small atrium, part of the original plan, was never done. Tropical told us that the project would take about three weeks; instead, it dragged on for many more. The project lacked adequate supervision and monitoring of the work by senior personnel. Several requested adjustments were either not carried out or ignored completely. The attitude and behavior of some members of the crew were distressingly unprofessional We have spent the last several months trying to correct these problems, necessarily incurring yet more expense and time lost. We entrusted a six-figure job to Tropical Outdoor Solutions but were left with an incomplete and suboptimally executed realization of a carefully designed plan. We certainly would not recommend Tropical Outdoor Solutions for carrying out sizable landscaping projects."

"Quality of work is unmatched. Attention to detail is outstanding. A very accommodating workforce. And a very pleasant group of workers. Extremely happy with the outcome."

"There were many pros and only one major con through my entire experience, but it was enough to bump my review down to 3 stars. You might think it should be lower when you get done reading this. I'll start with the negative as that is what everyone will be interested in. Job: Siding replaced on 2-story home as well as put plywood on beneath siding. In short: IF DID NOT WATCH THEM 24/7 AND CLIMB UP ON THE ROOF TO CHECK THE WORK MYSELF, I WOULD HAVE BEEN OUT estimated $8K IN SHEATHING / LABOR AND HAD A HOUSE THAT WAS SEVERELY WEAKENED AND POSSIBLY NOT UP TO CODE. Somehow, large parts of my second floor were missing siding. You could literally take the old siding off and punch a hole through through to the drywall inside with your fist. I paid a significant amount of money (estimating $8,000) to have plywood put on everywhere it was missing. The crew that came out, first off, was not given any plywood on day one and was not aware they were adding sheathing (plywood). They started putting the insulation in, and I had to come out several times during the day to tell them to stop and take it down because there was no plywood behind the insulation. On the third day, I had to leave the house all day. When I came back, all the old siding had been taken down and the insulation was put up. I climbed up on the roof with a screwdriver and POKED A HOLE THROUGH THE INSULATION RIGHT TO MY DRYWALL! The entire wall was not sheathed properly. When the crew came back, I played dumb and asked if it was done properly, and they insisted it was. Lied right to my face. I guess they didn't think I would get up and check. Well I did, and I dragged them up there with me. They mumbled something about a good catch and tore off all the insulation and started again. If I were an elderly couple, I would have been ripped off completely here and no one would have caught it. I was disgusted. The worst part was, other than an apology from the company and $200 off for non-related damage done accidentally by the installers as well as some minor items not taken care of, there was no compensation for this massive mistake. Now for the good, pretty much everything else. The house looks great a couple weeks afterwards. The vinyl siding has much more flexibility than the previous siding, but I guess that is normal. Color is great. The crew did lots of little extras and worked hard each day they were here and cleaned up the yard nicely. I thought the price was decent, and the sales rep was fine if not a bit time consuming (I guess some people are way more into the details than I am which is good if that is you). They came out to do the job 3 months ahead of schedule (only downside was I had to scramble to come up with the funds much quicker than expected). So why three out of five stars with such a horrific oversight? There are lots of moving parts in this company, and I don't think there was a full blown conspiracy by all involved to cheat me out of what I paid for. I wish the site manager would have noticed some of what I noticed, but he did not seem to be there most of the time. In the end, I believe I got what I wanted, paid them, and have moved on with my life. My experience makes me nervous for someone who might not be as agile or readily available to monitor the work as I did. If you are getting similar work done and can't micromanage the crew yourself, don't be afraid to hire someone you trust that can watch over a crew to make sure you get what you paid for. I bet a couple hundred dollars a day could save you big time in the long run. A shame it has to come to that though."
