These guys are very professional. They do what they say they are going to do, and do an excellent job. They have done leaf removal for me in the past and took care of my substantial storm damage this past summer. Very responsive, even when the weather did not cooperate they kept me in the loop at all times. I have used them in the past and will definitely use them again, they are by far the best.

It went fine. They installed a set of French doors in our house. They installed the framing and everything. They did it at a reasonable price. We had some issues when they first initially came out to do the work but one of the owners came out later to address those issues.

does very well at mowing my lawn. on anything else, he charges to much. was told he would charge me 40.00 an hour, but, forgot to tell me it was 40.00 per person. on mowing lawns, one of his crew is there every week, but, on home maintenance, depends. if he doesn't show, he doesn't call to say he wouldn't be there. Issac is a very nice guy, but, has to many commitments.

The only complaint is the price. The price is based on a tier system. If it snows a little, the price is less; if it snows a lot, the price is high. It's hard to budget not knowing how much snow is coming. They were always on time and very responsive and reliable.

A man named Jesse came out and talked with me about several projects I need help with and said he would get the information to someone, I can't recall his name and tossed business card, who would get me the estimate. After a couple of days, I called and the gentleman said he had the information and would get me a bid soon. I never heard from him and did not initiate further contact. This seems to be a common thing with many contractors

They were super nice. They weren't able to do what we needed but they referred us to another company that was able to meet our needs. It was a very pleasant experience. They got back to me really quick and they were really friendly and really nice. Their willingness to meet my expectations was pleasant about them. They had top rated customer support. They answered my needs and recommend to a company that can meet our needs. Their prices were definitely reasonable.

We really enjoy the Sweiters. They're very nice, professional, and courteous. We first used their services around the fall of 2011 for leaf removal. They did an amazing job and priced competitively. We planned to have some major landscape work done in the spring of 2012 and called them to discuss. We had them install planter boxes around our multi-level deck of retaining wall block, lay 2 circle patios, and grade/seed our front lawn. Initially, we had ordered block for the planter boxes that they determined would be too small for our needs, so we returned them and they purchased the block they thought would work best. It was the same color, just in a larger size so this was fine with us. Once completed, the planter boxes looked great. We filled the boxes with top soil, planted and mulched. For the paver patios, we ordered 2 circle kits from Iowa Landscape Supply and had a large patio put in the back yard and a smaller in front as a walkway between our driveway and front deck. Both looked stunning after installation. We had issues with our front yard retaining water after rainfall, so we had the Sweiters backfill and grade our front yard, sloping it towards the street (we have a fairly sloped front yard from the house towards the street). They seeded, put down straw, and a mesh netting. We seeded early June of last year just as the 100 degree days began. Luckily, our yard is very shaded, so we didn't have a lot of issues with seed coming up. Unfortunately, we've had some issues since the work has been completed. Sweiters were supposed to come back out and finish installing the plastic edging around the patio walkway in back, and install the same edging up front between the driveway since the edge of the drive isn't straight. Without the edging up front, there was a lot of shifting of the pavers when snow melted this spring. Many of the pavers (especially ones meeting the driveway) have come loose and are of varying elevations. One of the walls of the planter boxes began visibally sagging by the end of the summer. This spring we've noticed several areas along the walls that have settled unevenly making it difficult to install cap stones along the planter boxes. Lastly, this spring I was able to more closely inspect the front lawn after most of the straw has decomposed or blown away. I was told that they would be doing a final grade of the front lawn before seeding. It was my understanding that they would use a tool to essentially "rake" any large rocks, sticks, debris, etc. from the yard. This spring, I've pulled no fewer than a dozen baseball sized rocks (and larger), sticks, chunks of plastic, etc from my yard. I contacted the Sweiters 3 times last summer/fall to come out and finish laying the edging (once before snowfall because I was worried the plow that pushes snow in our drive might pull out those loose pavers), look at the sagging wall, and finish installing the drain tile from a down spout they had to remove when installing the planter box. Unfortuately, I still haven't heard back. It's unfortuate because I really do enjoy the Sweiters as they're genuinely nice guys. Isaac even came out to connect the gas line to a new gas dryer on New Year's Day (as lowes wouldn't touch the gas line). It's hard to say if I'll use the Sweiters again for any large projects. They price competitively and, for the most part, do good work. The lack of communication is worry-some, however. Hopefully they can get better organized in the future and continue to grow and succeed in this business.
Description of Work: We've used the Sweiters for a number of things over the past 2 years ranging from leaf removal, building block retaining walls, laying patio pavers, and grading/seeding our lawn.

replacement windows
  + -1 more
We worked with Swieter to have seven windows replaced in our four season room. We were on a timeline to get the windows installed as we had scheduled an Open House on a specific date and, of course, wanted the window installation complete before the Open House. Scott was the second contractor we had out to the house and his knowledge and professionalism was great. My husband and I were both impressed with him and he made the sale. Unfortunately, upon further reflection after the job was finished, I was slightly disappointed in his professionalism during the install. All in all, I wish would have told us about the obstacles he was running into and how he was going to work around them during the install, instead of saying nothing about it. He knew we had recently purchased the home, so it would have been nice for him to educate us more about what was going on during the process of the installation. Since we wanted to get the install done, we agreed to be on an 'on call' list in case of inclement weather, as ours was mostly an inside project. Thus, on the day of the install, it was chilly and rainy outside. It wasn't until we were putting the room furniture back in place, that we found numerous stains on the carpet. At first we thought they were muddy stains but upon further investigation we figured out they were actually stains caused by walking around in the wet leaves on our patio and then on the carpet. This, coupled with some trim and alignment issues, is why I was disappointed that the installer did not take more time to talk about the install, the obstacles he rain into and how he worked around them. All in all, I would consider Swieter for another project but I would probably spend more time checking in on them as they worked and definitely asking more questions.

I think they do a good job. Their prices are reasonable. Their service is timely. They've been good to work with. They do everything they say they are going to do. Quality has been good, so I've had no issues what so ever. The overall experience has been pretty good. They keep the lines of communication open.

Overall, our experiences with Sweiter Services has been wonderful every time we've contacted them.
Description of Work: This was actually the second time we've used Sweiter Services...that says alot! The first time, Isaac and the boys switched out the dishwasher, put in a new kitchen sink and faucet. It's not as easy as it sounds because we live in a mobile home. The second time, Jesse came. I had a list of little projects...replace a toilet and faucet in one bathroom...replace the floor under the kitchen sink, carpet in the bedroom. He was great! He asked me "what's next?" and we went thru my list. We have a few other things we'd like to do, and we will use Sweiter Services again!

The phone estimate was $125.00 for cleaning the gutters and repairing the soffits, when Swieter appeared in person the estimate became 4 times the original, due to gutter hangers all needing to be replaced. Swieter did a great job, was finished quickly, and I am very satisfied with my clean, properly angled gutters.
Description of Work: Gutters were cleaned, resecured and angled correctly. Soffits were renailed in places where they had came loose.

Member, thank you for your review! While it is unfortunate that your original estimate became much higher when we arrived and were able to look at things in-depth, it has always been our policy to be honest and up-front with our customers and we felt it absolutely necessary to replace the gutter hangers as part of the project. Thank you for your business and we hope to work with you again soon!

They also poured a 10x10 concrete pad for two dog runs and edged it with pave stone and a 3ft rock border to drain the kennels and protect the yard. Additionally, they made a 16x40ft play area for a trampoline and playset edged with retaining block and cap stone and filled with weed guard and mulch.
