"Great teamwork.John explained and gave us just what we were looking for. Great bathroom make over"

"Excellent, on time. Quick AND careful. Price was as quoted. No attempt to change price.
The very skilled workers even avoided hitting a wash line that should
have been in the way when lowering down the large dead limbs. Very
polite and respectful, yet also showed a little humor as well -
excellent combination. They even used the roof top and fire escape to
trim and tastefully sculpt some distant limb tips with an extended hand
saw.
I will use them again."

"Project Result: Excellent - far exceeded expectations.

Frank Fasolo arrived early for our appt for an estimate.  We discussed the nature of the project: to remove all visible traces of the inground koi pond - bring all of the area (which included a raised garden bed) to grade.  He gave me a ball park estimate of the cost and said the project would take about 3 days to complete.  He followed up with an email outlining what we discussed.
I made my decision to use Greenfield and emailed Frank.  We negotiated a bit,  made the date for the job to begin and the rest is history.
Frank arrived with his worker on a Saturday morning with two jack hammers and immediately began working.  The process he outlined worked flawlessly.  He knew exactly where to start. The cement walls of the pond were on average about 1'6" thick and the depth at its lowest is 4'6".  He started with the "hardest first" and proceeded around the pond where the structure changed to an all tiled platform, raised garden bed and a waterfall. The objective was to bring down the pond to grade (1'6") and then another 1-2 feet below grade to be filled with topsoil.  The debris was to be left in the pond.
There were a few unknowns that popped up - one example:  We knew that there was 'some' rebar but not to the extent we found once the work began.  We knew that there was a 275 gallon plastic drum filled with lava rock (for filtration) buried under the waterfall.  What we didn't know was that it was caged in steel and rebar!!  Unearthing the drum was probably one of the hardest parts of the project.  The steel/rebar was removed, the drum was cut to fold down on itself and then covered with debris.  The project did take 3 days to complete.
The final result is a beautifully restored area of my backyard that is now suitable for planting or a patio or a stone grill or nothing at all.  By the way the clean-up was better than the way it looked before the demolition.
Frank demonstrated great skill, experience and professionalism.  He was on site throughout the project and worked along side of his worker. 
I almost forgot - Frank not only laid and compacted the topsoil - he voluntarily fenced in the area so that my dogs wouldn't be able to dig in the dirt.
Greenfield deserves accolades for a job well done by an expert. Thanks a million Frank.  I'll see you soon to pave the walkway (once I find the bricks). :-)"

"Sammy and his crew repaired my front concrete steps and patio which had become cracked and worn over the years. They did a beautiful job and I have already received compliments."

"The Roca team was on time and very efficient in clearing my driveway and sidewalk. I appreciate how quickly they are able to complete the work and the care that they take with each job."

"Rightway Waterproofing is the company you want to come and waterproof your basement. I had initially set up a job looking for pros through Angie's List. I was contacted by Rightway Waterproofing via phone and email but did not respond as life happens. Well it rained really heavy again in August and I had more water in the basement. I reached out to them on a Friday and Albert contacted me immediately. They were able to come out on Monday to look at my property. Jake was thorough and friendly. He let me know what he thought we needed, explained everything thoroughly and gave us a quote which was completely reasonable. We accepted the bid and work was to commence on Thurs as they had an opening. Work was completed in one day. The area was kept pristine and they did an amazing job. The crew was courteous to my family. I could not recommend them more. I hope to have them out again at some point to finish my basement area as well. Try to keep in mind that during the season of covid many families are looking for ways to make more space in their homes or to have to home projects done. If you are waiting for work to be done just know that it is worth it! Thanks Rightway!!!"

"Update 11/11/15.  I've decided to update my review score & write-up for several reasons.  1) A grade of 'F' may have been too harsh since no work was performed to evaluate quality.  2) I've re-written some potential issues which Owner can respond to for the sake of other potential customers to evaluate.  NOTE: I never received an explanation or apology for what took place but did receive a total of (4) calls from owner's wife and numerous threats via phone & voicemail of intent to sue me for the bad review. 

Main issue: After speaking multiple times, Eugene Boyd was supposed to leave a contract for my review to potentially expand my driveway.  Our last conversation confirmed scope, required inspections & responsibility for the base layer beneath the asphalt (most important part - recommend 6" for cars, up to 8" for trucks). Eugene said he wanted my business asap but never returned calls to his business or cell phone for 2-weeks.  When I finally managed to get him on the same cell phone he called me from, he lied about who he was & that he didn't know Boyd Paving.  This bothered me, very much so.   I don't like being lied to, but more importantly, in my mind it re-confirmed my suspicions of whether or not I'd be able to track Boyd down should I have any issues with my driveway.  Decide for yourself.    

Recommendations to Owner for future business practices:
1) Confirm which phones & cell phones your business utilizes

2) Confirm what address your business operates from since multiple are listed.  Your NJ HIC license lists "Eugene Boyd Paving" company operating out of residential unit in Fair Lawn.  Angies List, Facebook & Website list "Boyd Paving" operating out of a commercial building in Ridgefield.  An additional HIC license application was started but not completed for "Boyd Paving" operating out of Hackensack.   Numerous phone numbers are listed but no one ever answers the phones which are forwarded to an answering service for screening. 

3) If you must forward calls, forward them to your cell phones & provide a voicemail indicating who you are. 

4) Confirm what your standard warranty covers

5) Increase your insurance coverage & issue certified Accord COIs.  $500,000 is not enough for handling heavy equipment.  Include workmens comp policy & automobile policy since both are required to complete a job.

6) Confirm if you use staff covered by your insurance or subcontractors.   Do they have insurance?

7) Confirm what your typical payment terms are & who checks are made out to

8) Add some type of identifying information to your website, Facebook page etc.  Pictures of staff, previous projects, something that makes customers feel confident that this company can't disappear overnight.  Bad driveway jobs don't usually show for a couple of years. 

Any contractor that wouldn't' comply with these basic legal business principles is not a contractor I want at my house, no matter how inexpensive the quote.

"He was thorough and honest. I felt that he knew what he was talking about. What they wanted to do, my parents could not afford. My parents were already tied into a contract before we got the full estimate. They were not upfront with their estimate. If you do not have the work done that they suggest, they will not guarantee it. It will void the warranty. It was a five year warranty. They broke stuff during the removal. There was a lot of labor time wasted. They promised me that they would help my mom make decisions. They did not help her. They mislead me in how they were going to help her decide what to keep and what had to be thrown out. They did get rid of the mold. They did not bother to remove things before they started tearing things out. There were nails and live wires exposed. They told me that it was not safe to have anyone down in the basement. They did not clean up after themselves. The owner has been very responsive to my mother. My husband was able to take care of it. I would not use them again."
