TINY SANDMAN'S LAWN SNOW AND PAINTING SERVICES

I was satisfied with the yard work that was done!

After hiring this company before to do some yardwork (which went OK), I tried to hire them again for snow removal several months later. After promising snow removal services would start at the next snowfall, no one showed up after a big snowstorm. I called and left a message, but no one even returned my call. A few days later I called again and the owner assured me it would be taken care of next time. Next snow and again, no one from the company showed up or contacted me. That was the last time I ever heard from them. Very unprofessional and disorganized.

The basic mowing was done reasonably well and I appreciated coming home from three weeks away to a freshly mowed lawn. However, there were several issues that made me rate this company lower: 1. I have a very wet area in the front yard where the sump pump empties. They ran a large mower carelessly over this area, causing large ruts. 2. They routinely allowed the grass cuttings to cover some areas landscaped with flowers and plants. 3. They ran over the spout to my back gutter, crushing it. Although Michael said he would replace it, he never did. 4. They did not come to mow on a regular schedule. I often had to call after 2-3 weeks when the grass had grown very tall without any mowing. They generally showed up within a day or two (there was always a reason why they hadn't been there), but I really didn't want to have to keep calling. 5. In the early part of the summer, I asked for a bill several times. None was forthcoming. So I stopped asking -- after all, I'm not the one who wanted to get paid! I finally received a bill in December for the whole summer. This bill was incorrect. It charged me for dates when they had not come (I kept track of the days they actually mowed on my calendar.) I would have preferred smaller bills on a regular basis, and found this unprofessional.

I didn't have a chance to find out if their work is good because they still haven't given me an estimate.

They responded to my phone call promptly and got back to me with an estimate right away. They performed the job on time and on budget. They did an excellent job, thoroughly raking our lawn, which is large, tree-filled and hilly. We were very happy with their work.

Michael Anderson was not in my territory but offered to still do the service for me if I needed him to.

Everything went well-- good price, service and attitude. Also followed up to let me know when job was completed. Very happy!

He responded well and I appreciated that. I wasn?t too happy with his bid, though. It was high for that particular job. He didn?t think the actual ice needed to be removed. I disagreed with him because we actually had some leaking in the house. His bid was too high for less work.

We chose them because they were highly rated on Angie's List. We were looking for someone to do this type of work. They first came and did some yard work and leaf removal. That work was satisfactory. It took 3 phone calls to get him here during the Christmas snow. We now have 3 inches of ice on our front walk, because he didn't get here quick. He has twice put us in variance of city policies more than once. We decided to continue to give him some latitude to see if he would come around. We will give him one more miss, and then he's out of here.

These guys did a great job. I would hire again.

They were slow. I will not use them again. Everytime it snowed it took them about 24 hours to get there. We had sidewalks that people had to walk on, and he was just not timely.

He does a great job taking care of our lawns at our rentals. He was prompt and dependable and we will continue to use him in the future.

The job went fine. He was responsive and punctual.

They are good and do a great job.

I like them because they are very dependable. They do a good job. I haven?t had any bad dealings with them.

They did a good job. The sidewalks and driveway was always shoveled. There was always sand underneath slippery areas.

They were here on time and performed the work. Good service, good price.

Michael came over with a detailed estimate, which I was pleased with. I decided immediately to go with his company. He was able to start the work the next week. His crew was very professional, hard-working, and always cleaned up the area daily. Within a week, I had a new roof (which he matched exactly to my house roofing), new boards on the garage, and a nice paint job. There are several windows on my garage, which had paint on them from the previous owner -- I now have clean windows as well. Tiny Sandman does a great job of doing the task for which they are hired -- but they also go above and beyond to make sure the job is done right. I not only have a great exterior, but the crew worked hard to clean up the inside as well. My garage has never looked better. I would happily speak to anyone who is considering work. Michael is professional, and sincerely works with you to make sure the job gets done right. Beyond all the great work, Michael threw in a yard clean-up just for using his business. His crew spent a lot of time on my yard, accumulating at least 13 bags of leaves/waste. (I have a corner lot.) It was not necessary, as I had already hired Michael's company to do my garage, but it was a very generous and much-appreciated bonus. When the job was complete, I was very pleased, but very rushed, due to some personal matters. The crew cleaned up; I paid up; the job seemed to be done. A few days later, I noticed one area I thought needed attention. I called Michael about this, and within the week, it was taken care of. I am very thankful that I found Tiny Sandman. Every aspect of the experience was good, and I would definitely recommend them to family and friends.

We hired this company after my husband had emergency surgery and could not shovel the sidewalks himself any more. The price quoted was $60/snowfall. We are still waiting for a bill. Moreover, the work done was sloppy, with our driveway narrowing progressively over successive snowfalls and several times the back stretch of sidewalk was not shoveled at all. My husband also had to call at least once to complain that our walks had not been shoveled, and we were at risk of a fine from the city. The snow had fallen on the 23rd, and the response he got was, "But it's Christmas Eve." However, the owner did indeed send some people out to clear the sidewalks on the 24th, despite his initial protests.

This price is for the snow removal for the entire winter for as many visits as I needed. The lawn care was $26 per visit. He is very friendly. He is very accommodating and answers questions well. He is a pretty congenial individual. I would recommend them to others.

They mowed, edged, fertilized and used dry time release. They did a great job and have been with them for two years. They do my snow removal as well.
