Get matched with top patio pros in Albany, NY

"Great job far exceeded expectations. Got done on time . Left yard in better shape than when started."

"Perfectly. I have had several plowing businesses over the last 30 years, and these guys are the best. They came at the time they said they would, within 15 minutes or so, and cleared ALL of the driveway, not just what looked like enough, all for a VERY reasonable fee. I would recommend them to anyone who asked."

"I hired them to do the foundation on a new construction build. They were very on point, professional, punctual, honest and worked hard to get the job done in a timely manner. One of the most professional concrete companies I have used. Would highly recommend and use again. "

"Reputable, and if something goes wrong they come back and do the work."

"Nick Fazio is really excellent. Highly knowledgeable, professional, careful, and courteous. A real pleasure to work with. I was very comfortable trusting him with a complex project. Cost of the project was very reasonable. I highly recommend Fazio Waterproofing."

"Fair prices"

"We just bought a house in Niskayuna, NY during the sensitive time of CoVid 19. Long story short I have hired a pool company prior to contacting Aaron. The first company basically took my money and never followed through the job which was opening and maintaining a pool that was closed for over a year. They installed the ladder backwards and overcharged me for a filter and never cleaned or vacuumed it as they were supposed to. Weeks went by our pool stayed green and never cleared up. Aaron got a call from me and within an hour he showed up on my door step made an inspection of the pool before telling me what needed to be done in order to get it to a safe level to even swim in before the season is over. He used chemicals and literally stayed in touch with me over the course of 3 days. I sent him photos via text and he Communicated very well with me regarding next steps. My pool finally is open after 2 long months of me being jerked around by a well know company. Aaron is reliable and very honest. He charged a 1/3 of what the other company did. On the other hand I also found out he does other jobs too...like junk removal and is a handy man! Further more Aaron is very well connected to the contractor world and is HONEST! I even booked our pool closing and already looking at other jobs he can help me with in the house! Trust me when I tell you he has been terrific to work with and answers all questions and even answers his phone. Book him for all your home improvement needs ASAP! Tell him Jah referred you!"

"Summary: Quality work for the most part, but may shake you down for more money to complete the job, so make sure that you get your contract in writing. Detail: I had just purchased a new home and needed to have an old retaining wall re-built on short notice, as well as have a drain installed due to some erosion causing the wall itself and the brick flower beds below it to become misaligned and lose structural integrity. I contacted a few companies including Eldi Landscaping. After receiving a rather high initial estimate in person of $16,000 to repair the wall, install the drain, and re-align the flower beds at the bottom of the wall, with a 10 year guarantee, I let Eldi know that I would compare his pricing to that of the other companies I reached out to and would let them know if we decided to go with them. He later texted me and lowered his offer to $13,800 to use new material, or $8,800 to do the job with my existing slate. $8,800 was a great price, we were strapped for cash from the new home purchase, and the stone was still in good condition, so I let him know we were on board with that. The work was started quickly and finished over the course of 3 days. The wall looks good and has been holding up well. However, on the last day he called me downstairs and told me that he wasn't going to fix the flower beds at the bottom of the wall unless we paid an extra $2000. I protested this and reminded him that we had discussed the full job being completed, including that section, and that he offered $8800 to complete the job without my prompting him for a lower price. At this point he essentially told me that he wasn't going to complete the job unless we agreed to pay him the extra money. I looked through my texts with him to find something in writing and realized that he was very careful to not mention specifics about the job in writing and kept all the details of the work that he promised would be completed to phone discussions. In the interest of not having them leave the job half done (while we were having this discussion, the wall was torn down and the hill it was built into all dug up), I stupidly agreed to pay him the extra money. I had offers from other contractors that were lower than the $10,800 I ended up paying, and went with Eldi because they offered the lowest price. I may have gone with another contractor if they quoted me what I actually ended up paying. It was pretty much my own fault for not getting our agreement in writing, but I'm a new homeowner without much experience working with contractors and I feel that Eldi took advantage of this to strong arm me out of more money than we agreed to. Additionally, when they left the job, they did not completely clean up, and filled one flower bed with small rocks (which is what we asked for), and the other with patches of grass, small boulders, and dirt that they had torn up from the hill while working. I later had to pay for a dumpster and remove all of this myself. As I said, the work itself turned out pretty good and was completed quickly. But if you end up working with this company, make sure that everything you need done, including a full cleanup, is documented in writing, with a specified price and signatures from both parties. Otherwise you may find yourself the victim of the classic contractor shake down that I unfortunately fell victim to."
