Long Island Lawn and Irrigation

Description of Work: Rich was very nice, but my appointment kept being rescheduled due to his scheduling issues. This ended up being a plus because I had neglected to get his insurance and business certificate prior to setting the date. When I asked for it, he just kept saying he has never had a problem, that he was no longer licensed in Nassau County because each city and town required a separate license and it was too costly, also because of this his insurance agent said he would not be covered in Nassau County. He then went on to tell me that no one has asked for his license and insurance and that he was concerned that I was going to sue him because I brought this up. I called Department of consumer affairs in Nassau County and they told me what he told me was false information and absurd. I told him that if anything happened while he or his workers were on my property my insurance company would have a problem because I didn't do my due diligence. After this conversation, I never heard from him again. He has some good reviews on the internet but without being licensed and insured, I don't think anyone should use him. Also to accuse me of wanting to sue him just because I asked him for information he should readily have is quite a strange defensive behavior. I suggest you use someone on the list that has an A rating. No one needs to use an uninsured, unlicensed contractor who can potentially do thousands of dollars worth of damage to your home.
