HOWARD BARG & ASSOCIATES INC

Not well. Howard exceeded the quoted price by more than 50%. The contractor had to come back to reconstruct the patio twice due to sinking pavers and improper drainage. The patio still does not drain correctly. The contractor had to replace the fountain pump three times with the last replacement taking about nine months so it could not be used for an entire summer season. The most recent problem was a sinking fireplace that took almost a year to address. Howard never promptly resonded to questions or concerns and never came to fix anything on or near the date promised (with no explanation).

Service was fine for the money. The problems started the following month when they continued to bill for services they did not provide. This continued for six months, despite monthly phone calls to Howard, asking him to kindly stop sending us bills for work that was not ordered, nor provided. Every month he promised to stop sending the bills, but the bills continued until we threatened legal action. I would never work with this company again, despite the fact that the work was fine.

They did excellent work. They were very careful with the furniture that was out there. They cleaned up very well when they were done with the work. I would recommend.
