Description of Work: Outstanding Job by Douglas and his crew. Everything went like clockwork. The area of the paver installation was the front entrance of our residential building. His crew was conscientious and very considerate of our residents, making sure they could access the building. They had a few modifications as we went along, but Doug was a true professional never missing a beat. |The finished product is beautiful, more than we had anticipated. I would highly recommend them and will use them again (if I can only find more areas to pave!).

Description of Work: They redid my front walkway and back patio with concrete. They did a great job. Always on time (even early). It looks fantastic; all work performed on the schedule they gave us and cleanned up all materials each day. Great crew and even completed the job on Saturday because rain was in the forecast. Looks great. Will call them again.

Description of Work: We wanted a patio and Diversified was 1 of 3 estimates we received. They were punctual, super informative about our options and price competitive. We originally did not want pavers and were going to do stamped concrete or slate. However, Don educated us on all the different options pavers has now and showed us that pavers is quite pleasing since they have more design options. The patio looks fabulous and the work was done ahead of schedule.

Description of Work: These guys did an excellent job for us. I consider myself an unusually picky and demanding customer, and Diversified Contractors managed to meet all of my expectations, even exceeding them in some places. They delivered a good-looking product at an excellent price, and from what I can observe, I expect it to last for many years to come. Our project was a bit unusual. The work consisted of removing about 200 sq ft of existing pavers and wood decking, excavating the area and laying new pavers, then adding a stuccoed cinder block retaining wall and wood railing. The paver joints were filled with polymeric sand, which I understand is standard practice for this company, but a bit unusual among their peers. So far, I like the polymeric sand because it doesn't blow onto the patio surface like regular sand might. Don (the estimator) came out and gave me an estimate that was significantly below another estimate I received, as the other company had planned to use heavy equipment that was not necessary for my project. I strongly considered doing the project myself, but ultimately Don gave us such a good price that I was not sure I could complete the project for much less myself, and it would have assuredly been less durable and attractive. In the weeks after the initial estimate, I went back and forth with Don several times, asking him many questions and tweaking my request repeatedly. He was exceedingly patient, eager to get our business, and willing to accommodate us even when our needs went beyond the company's usual services. Don's exceptional work ethic and dedication were crucial for getting us on board. Diversified Contractors completed the work in 3-4 workdays, causing minimal disruption to our lives. The patio surface is perfectly flat, the railing is very sturdy, and everything is built to the exact specifications I provided. I am very satisfied, especially considering the attractive price Don was able to give us in the off season (our project started in February). The price did not increase by one dime after the work started, nor did they make additional recommendations, which I greatly appreciated. The only minor complaint I have is that at a few points, Don was willing to accommodate my requests even when I later concluded that my original preferences would have been unwise. He was very courteous and deferential to his customer, which I completely understood and appreciated, but at a couple of points, I would have actually preferred that he tell me what I was asking for was ill-advised. As an example, I originally asked for the retaining wall to be built out of wood timbers, but another contractor eventually told me these were likely to rot after several years. In the end, however, I don't feel like we made any major mistakes- as I said, this is a very picky comment from a very picky customer. I would definitely do business with this company again, and my wife and I are enthusiastically recommending it to our friends. If you want a solid product at a great price, call Don. You won't regret it.

Response from Diversified Contractors LLC
Hello, I really feel that I needed to respond to your review. First of all, based on the grades you've given us, I apologize for you feeling the way you do about our company. However, I think it's a bit disingenuous on your part, if I may be honest. I have spoken to my estimator, and he has noted that he has called you several times as well to try to schedule an estimate with you. He said he was only able to leave a message once, with the other times the phone would ring without ever going to voicemail. The day that we spoke, it was well after 10:00pm at night, and my estimator Thomas marked down that he left you a message the very next day. He never heard back from you. After reading your comments, I also tried to follow up with you earlier today, left a message, and haven't heard from you. As you can see from our overwhelmingly "A grade" history here on Angie's List, we take our reputation with the community very seriously. We strive very hard to exceed our clients' expectations, and having an "F" review is very upsetting, to say the least, and not reflective of the way we operate. I'd love an opportunity to discuss this with you further, and hopefully find a way to resolve this, and prove to you what type of company we know we are. Like I said, I've left another message for you, so please give me a call. If you'd rather not discuss this any further, I could understand, but I'd appreciate it if you would amend your review of us to reflect the miscommunication on both parties. Thanks once again for your interest in our services, have a great weekend, and I hope to hear from you soon. Sincerely, Mike E. Owner DIVERSIFIED CONTRACTORS, LLC

Description of Work: I met with three contractors and decided on Diversified Contractors because of their competitive bid as well as their suggestions during the initial consultation. Don Franz informed me at his first visit about their availability and everything went according to schedule. After they were almost done we realized that we needed another corner of a flower bed and Doug was able to incorporate that the following week. Definitely an outstanding job!

Description of Work: Tried to get in contact with them since they were so highly praised on Angie's List - couldn't get a call back after 2 messages left, and everytime no one is there. I guess they have enough business now that they don't need new customers.

Response from Diversified Contractors LLC
Member, I apologize for the confusion regarding your inquiry of our services. I just called you back and left you a message, but let me try to explain now. We did get your message, which I have saved and just listened to it again. You stated that you have a few hundred dollars of work to do, and to "call if interested". Unfortunately, we have a $2000 minimum job requirement, as our crew sizes are no less than 3 men. It's just not feasible for us to do small jobs in most cases, as the set up time and logistics make it hard to remain competitive. I'm sorry for the misunderstanding, and I probably should have called you back anyway to explain our policy. You called two days ago, and this week has been one of the busiest ever, with the weather being upper 70's in the middle of March, and we've got several projects underway at the moment. We work extremely hard trying to please our clients, as you have seen with our straight "A" reviews from all clients we've worked for. Our reputation amongst the Angie's List community is very important to us, and we take a lot of pride in it. I'm sorry it didn't work out between us, and apologize again for the misunderstanding. I wish you the best of luck in getting the work you need done. Sincerely, Mike Erickson

The foreman came out and competitively bid on the job, was on time, very thorough and businesslike but friendly. He helped us make cost-effective choices while creating the quality installation we were seeking. We chose them out of three bids for several reasons, part cost, part work style, manner and experience. It was clear they knew what they were doing and cared about customer satisfaction, including being respectful of our time. They then started the job on the day promised and worked steadily until both aspects of it were complete. I was impressed with the professionalism and teamwork of the crew and the routine inspection and daily management visits of the foreman. Once the projects were wrapped we had one concern with needing the fence gate hinge to be switched to the other side. The foreman came out the very next day to review what was needed and had the change made (which included rebuilding part of the gate) the following day without complaint or extra charge. He also consulted for free on care of our existing deck, which saved us effort and money at a time when that made a difference. Our front walk is beautiful and has upgraded the street presentation of our small but handsome colonial home to a new height of graciousness. The fencing is great too and will be even better once the wood is cured in a few months' time and we can refinish it in tandem with our aging deck.
Description of Work: Diversified Contractors designed and created a slate walkway from the curb to the front door of our house and covered our existing steps and front entry platform with slate. This involved digging up the existing two-level broken concrete sidewalk, widening one section and then laying a new concrete bed and finishing it with the surface level slate. They also tore down and replaced a 20 foot long wooden fence and custom built a new gate. Because of their excellent work, we will have them back in the spring to refinish our deck and do the new fence once it is cured, and hopefully replace the rest of the wood fencing around our backyard (approx. 80 feet, 7 feet tall). They were very orderly and hauled away the debris each day while carefully tidying up both work sites.

Overall, the crew were on time each day and worked really hard. The work was finished in a timely fashion and it is absolutley beautiful. We were very impressed with how much the quality of the work enhanced the look of our house and garden. Before the work started, we had moved the plants that we felt would likey be in the way of the work. In reality, we had no idea how much space the demolition of the walk and pouring of the concrete base required. Mike promised to replace the plants that would not grow back and had the crew put quality soil along the sides of the walk after all the work was done. We had found Diversified Contractors on Angie's List and they consistently worked hard to work with our expectations and respond quickly to any problems (like the crew stepping on our plants). Communications is crucial when working with a contractor and we were always able to find Mike when we had questions. We are really pleased with how it looks and keep having neighbors comment on the beauty of the stone.
Description of Work: Diversified Contractors removed the existing frontwalk and front stoop; excavated and installed a new base of concrete with a new Pennsylvania Flagstone veneer; and hauled away the subsequent debris. Salvagable stones from the old walk were left by our request in a designated area for future use. Most of all, Mike Erickson came to the house for a free estimate, saw the sinking, broken walk and presented a creative way to enhance the walk. We had requested an enlarged front stoop that stepped down to a walk that tapered down to the regular 3 ft wide walk. Mike added the idea to have the walk slope away from the house so that water would not back up towards the house; agreed to adding a conduit under the walk for tv cable access; and encouraged us to keep the valuable stones that formed the original walk.

We were very pleased with the work and professionalism of Diversified Contractors. They were very reliable and thorough with the job provided. At one point, the crew came across a large tree stump that had been buried under the ground. Rather than cover it up with the sod, they dug it out and filled the hole at no extra charge, despite the extra time and labor it took to take care of this unexpected glitch. Both the crew and the site manager provided instructions on how to care for the new sod and after a couple weeks of TLC, it matches the rest of the lawn prefectly and looks great.
Description of Work: New Sod Installation: Removal of all Vinka ground cover and shrubs in planting area along road and installation of new sod throughout area. Price includes removal of shrubs on other side of front steps. Total area to be sodded is approx. 510 sq. ft.

It was beautiful. The job was completed exactly to specifications with great attention and care. The owners of the company were responsive and friendly, they were able to provide many samples of their work, all of which were clear and an outstanding representation of the type and quality of service that this company provides. We very much enjoy working with them and plan to continue to hire them for more work in the future.
