Description of Work: Dave's performed a spring cleanup of land adjacent to my home. There were leaves, and branches that required disposal. The work was performed to my satisfaction and without disturbing the neighbors. Additionally, I asked Dave to weed all the gardens and put mulch down. The crew did an excellent job especially in light of the fact the most of the mulching was put down on a hill making it very difficult. Dave and his crew have performed work for me previously and I was not disappoint then nor am I disappointed now. I would use them again and would highly recommend them as well.

All went well for a while, although the plow did destroy a barrel planter. Then we suddenly received noticce that he would not be plowing for us any longer - right before the season started! I had to find someone else.

Response from Dave's Home Services Inc
Hello (removed member name), Thank you for the review on Angies List, we appreciated your years of patronage as a plowing customer. It was with regret that we notified you we would no longer provide our service. Unfortunately due to route changes and schedules we would not be able to meet your cleared by time and couldn't commit to something which would result in less than satisfactory service. I personally was plowing your driveway and was unaware of a damaged a planter and certainly would've been glad to compensate you by not billing for that plow if we had been negligent. Thank you again for your past patronage and review. Sincerely, Dave Pullo (Owner)

He is reliable. They guys come and they do a good job and they even help very quickly. He e-mails us an invoice and we do everything online. He lets us know what is going on with what his company is in for everything else. We are extremely pleased with him. I would be very hesitant to go with someone else right now. He has an office person that takes his calls, if not he takes his message and then he gets back to you by the next day because he is out in the job to himself.
Description of Work: He did the lawn.

Response from Dave's Home Services Inc
Hello (Member Name), My apologies for not returning your call/inquiry, we sincerely regret that we have no recollection of your contacting our office. We pride ourselves on returning/responding to customer calls, even if to say we are unable to do the work or to refer an alternate contractor in the area. In looking at our call log it shows that you contacted us on 12/4/13 regarding a storm door installation. Unfortunately that is our busiest time for fall leaf clean ups before the snow flies. If we didn't return your call to refer another local, reliable and reputable contract we are remiss. Sincerely, Dave Pullo Owner, Daves Home Services.

Dave's office team was very professional and helpful in scheduling Dave. Dave arrived on time (both for the estimate and for the work) and worked extremely hard in very hot weather to complete the work on schedule. He went above and beyond in every aspect. I could not have been more pleased with his work and with the whole experience. I highly recommend Dave and his team.
Description of Work: I contacted Dave about doing some bobcat work in the backyard in preparation for a perennial garden. Dave took the time to make landscaping suggestions, offer helpful advice on types of plants and also made suggestions on making paths, walls, etc. He was extremely knowledgeable in all of these areas, and was also very friendly.

Dave was extremely professional and completed the project on time and within budget. I have since retained his services for all my lawn care and maintenance (mowing, leaf removal, hedge trimming, etc.) I would highly recommend Dave's Home Services for any homeowner in the area.

Dave and his crew are great. They were here to clean our gutters and we asked them to do some leaf removal. The gutters weren't very dirty, so he charged us less than usual and then only charged us $25 for the leaf removal since they were already doing the house across the street. Great guy, very prompt, very reasonable prices.

I really like Dave and his team. They do an excellent job making my house look like someone lives there. The only issue I have is with communication. Sometimes it seems emails get lost in the ether, due to multiple people reading the same email account. I would suggest to the company that they look into a new way of handling email, as that can be frustrating. Despite that, I would hire them again, as they do good work at a good price, and Dave is extremely knowledgeable about plants.
Description of Work: They trimmed back all of our Forsythia, weeded, and generally cleaned up my small yard. They mowed and cleaned up after themselves and removed all waste.

Last fall (2009) Dave repaired and replaced the roof on our old shed. We thought we were going to have to replace the entire shed because the roof was leaking and there was a lot of rot/damage, but Dave saved the day by cutting out the rotted pieces, correctly sealing the structure and repairing the entire roof. It held up over the winter beautifully! Also in the fall, Dave removed an old, non-functioning garage door opener and installed a brand new door opener for us. He had the tools and skill set to get this done in a much timelier fashion than we would have had we taken on the project ourselves. There was an issue with the electronics panel of the garage door opener, and Dave stayed at our house to troubleshoot -- he went above and beyond. We had to have Sears come out to replace a part on the new door opener (out of the box it wasn't performing properly -- it was a faulty model) and Dave kept checking back in with us to see how the process was going and whether the problem had been resolved. I appreciated that! Additionally in the fall, Dave removed a heavy, broken awning from the back of our house. It was quite a task, but Dave and a crew member expertly took it down and disposed of it for us. And, Dave looked around at a couple of stores and was even able to match up our siding so you can hardly tell that any work had been done on the back of the house! This winter, we hired Dave's Home Services to plow our driveway. We were very happy with the plow job, and the few times that we needed to get in touch with him for one reason or another he was easily accessible on his cell phone. This spring we hired Dave's team to edge our front and back garden beds. They quickly and efficiently tidied up our beds and cleaned up the grass/dirt that was displaced. For 5 hours of work between two men it cost $175. Money well spent in our opinion as we were then quickly able to mulch on the cleaned up beds. (Dave's team would have mulched for us but we had already purchased the mulch and planned on doing it ourselves.) Dave is a very personable and friendly guy and very easy to work with. His office team is very responsive and nice as well. They call back quickly any time we've left a message with a question. When we've asked Dave to give us estimates for jobs he's not best suited for, he's recommended other professionals to call. The people he's recommended that we've ended up hiring to do work have been top notch! Dave also sends bills and invoices electronically in addition to e-newsletters. I like that he's saving paper this way! Dave's Home Services is a great find in Reading!!

I called them for landscaping based on the reviews online. They charged $250 for the leaves and a little under $200 for the yard cleanup. He was a pleasure to work with.
Description of Work: I used Dave's Home Services Inc. They did yard cleanup and leaf removal for me before Thanksgiving. My yard was overgrown, so they did bush trimming, weeding, lawn mowing and all that kind of thing.

I have just this company since this spring. They do initial lawn work and things like trimming the hedges. They do edging and essentially whatever has to be done as far as the lawn and yard work goes. I am happy with the work that they do. They have been very good at working with me and working within my budget.

Great! Excellent communication of schedule and work to be done. Phone and email answered within 24-36 hours. He seems to prefer email.
Description of Work: Spring cleanup: Power rake & cut lawn. Hand raked uneven parts of lawn (very important, power raking can make a mess in an uneven lawn); 6 yards much. Edging plant beds. Advised me of a grub problem. Left everything neat & tidy. Also, last winter, cleaning gutters & roof raking after a heavy snow. Hard working guy & a hard working crew.

Responded quickly to my initial contact. Old service had not shown up at start of season and lawn was quite overgrown. Provided estimate and began work almost immediately. Reliable throughout the entire summer. Early snow prevented fall cleanup but I have no doubt he will take care of it in the spring. He was also willing to pitch in and do an emergency job of mowing for my brother when needed.

Dave's team was very efficient and did an excellent job clearing/cleaning up the entire area. The best part is his quote was hundreds of dollars less than 3 other people had quoted me. I plan to have him back for more extensive work this summer. Only negative is it was sometimes hard to reach Dave.

I don't think they really knew what I was looking for. I was really looking for some experienced painters who knew how to patch holes and things. The quality wasn't great for the painting, but they also do my landscaping, which is OK. The price for the painting is a lot on the high side.

THE MEMBER IS CORRECT THAT THE WORK THEY WANTED COMPLETED WAS NOT CLEARLY UNDERSTOOD AND HAD CHANGED DURING THE PROJECT. UNFORTUNATELY THE JOB WAS "UNDER THE GUN" FOR AN OPEN HOUSE AND THE COMBINATION OF CHANGES IN WORK TO BE DONE, POOR WORK BY PREVIOUS CONTRACTORS AND THE LIMITED BUDGET OF THE MEMBER, UNFORTUNATELY IT APPEARS THAT WE WERE NOT ABLE TO MEET THE MEMBER'S EXPECTATIONS. WE TAKE PRIDE IN OUR WORK BUT DUE TO TIME AND BUDGET RESTRICTIONS WERE UNABLE TO COMPLETE THE JOB TO MY HIGH PERSONAL STANDARDS. I WILL BE GLAD TO PROVIDE PAINTING REFERENCES UPON REQUEST. THANK YOU FOR CONSIDERING US FOR YOUR NEXT PROJECT. SINCERELY, DAVE PULLO, PRESIDENT, DAVE'S HOME SERVICES, READING, MA.
