SCANAPICO LANDSCAPING

Was set up for an estimate on Sunday at 3pm and at 3:45 no one showed up. I called and was told that he left his pad in other truck and forgot about Estimate. I came home early from a appointment so meet Ronnie. He did say he would come Monday and leave estimate. He did and I could not read handwriting so I had to call. I have got several other estimates and he was much higher then the others.

They were great (professional and efficient). They completed the entire job on time .They also landscaped the front yard,sod and shrubs. I recommend them highly.

I called and emailed the provider with NO response. Did not use, and Will not ever consider in the future.

as stated he called once then I never heard from him I needed my lawn reseeded

James, Troy, and their entire crew know their business and their focus was our satisfaction. They did great work and cleaned up up well before they left. Their pricing is also very competitive.

James Scanapico came to my house, measured driveway and gave my a very good price. I had called two other companies and their prices were much higher (almost $5,000.) for the same job. His crew came in October and did a great job digging up the old driveway, carting it away and putting down the stone base for the new driveway while also installing the new paver apron. He told me they would return in about 3-4 weeks to complete the asphalt job as the base had to settle and be packed down by our cars driving over the new base. Sure enough, the same crew of workers showed up, rolled over the base to really pack it down and then proceeded to put down the new asphalt. Although James said the new driveway would be about 2 - 2 1/2 inches thick, it was more like 3 inches as I could see how high the new driveway was on my belguim block border. What I liked about this company was that both James and his brother Troy were at the job both days to make sure all things were done correctly according to the contract. These guys really know what they are doing as all their workers were very hard working, conscientious and experienced. I think all this crew does is asphalt driveways so they are definitely experts. The most amazing thing was paying for the job. This company does not take a deposit or have you pay halfway through the job when the original driveway is dug up. No, James and Troy do not ask for payment until the job is done and meets your satisfaction. Now, who does that in this day and age? Two people already stopped by my house to check out my new driveway and asked who did it and could I give them the phone number of the company. I would definitely recommend this company.

James and his brother Troy helped me create a design for this project which was a challenge because my home had recently been lifted ten feet after Hurricane Sandy. The driveway and surrounding landscaping had been completely destroyed. James took the time to show to me multiple completed projects, as well as walking me through the building supply yard to view different products and designs. His professionalism was unmatched. Troy, as the onsite manager, kept the work site clean and organized during the entire process. The speed and accuracy of the installations was impressive. The Scanapico's crew was courteous, hardworking and very respectful at all times. I would not hesitate to recommend using their services for your home or business projects. The Scanapico's can be reached at 631-321-4358.

Everything went exactly according to plan and the agreement. They took a property that was vastly overgrown and made it look look like highly groomed and maintained park. We were very pleased with the entire job. They were professional and extremely hard working.

The job went very well. Crew came early on monday; worked until dark. completed the job the following afternoon. Cleaned up completely and quietly. Spoke to the owner, James about another project. Looked out the window and saw everyone gone. Everything back in place. Looks absolutely beautiful, complements Trex decking, really warms up the space. Would definately use their services again. James & Troy, offered great design tips. Very skilled and knowledgeable. Plan your projects and it is worth the wait!

Job was done on time and in a highly professional manner

They worked hard every day, knew what they had to do and cleaned up in the end. I would highly recommend James for any paving or landscaping job. He is a man who values customer service. In fact, we're having him back for our next project -- paving the driveway. Great job guys!

tell him. How do these people stay in business? Am I the only one with this problem with Scanapico? I am totally disgusted with his attitude and behavior, but I'm also concerned that Angie's List only has glowing reviews with this person. I am thinking that people write reviews about themselves for this service, and so what we read cannot be trusted. I can only hope that it isn't so. Meanwhile, I will advise anyone not to use this liar.

They were good. They came and did their job and were clean. The job was done great at the price that we had agreed upon which was good.

I disbelieve the good ratings on this website as James Scanapico himself told me about 2 weeks ago that he had customers yelling at him because he kept pushing dates back due to various excuses. I believe he told me that so I would feel bad for him and be easier on him when questioning him why he didnt show up when he said he would. He gave me a date in late May that the work would be done. He was very nice in the beginning and quoted me a reasonable price for a new stoop walkway retaining wall and sprinkler system. He told me the work would be done in about a month. When he didn't show as I expected him to I had to call him and most of the time he didnt answer the phone. I had to keep calling him to follow up and make sure he was coming. He gave several excuses as to why he didn't make it such as his back went out or his truck was in the shop and finally he said he never got a call from his cousin so he couldnt come outline the sprinklers like he said he was going to for the third time. So many excuses yet not one phone call to let me know why he was a no-show. I always had to call him. He finally told me he would come this past Monday or Tuesday and yet again no-show and no calls. I was fed up with his service and expressed that to him. When I asked why he never came or called he gave the excuse about his cousin. I asked him why he couldnt just call me and tell me that. I also asked him why he kept giving me the runaround and if he couldnt do the work that he just could have told me that. He kept saying he didnt take a deposit so hes not a bad guy. Clearly he doesnt take a deposit because he knows hes not going to follow through and do the work. All this time I gave him the benefit of the doubt and got nowhere. Had I gone with someone else the work would have been done already. When I confronted him that I was going to give him poor reviews on the Internet because I was so dissatisfied with the way he conducted his business he actually threatened to call my job and tell lies about me. I hung up on him when he told me that and he proceeded to call me again and again in a very harassing manner. James Scanapico is a liar he is completely unprofessional and makes empty promises. I would never recommend him or this company to anyone. Do not believe these good reviews. If you do not have a 22k job he most likely will not do the work. He will give you a great price and a date and then the runaround and lies. Contrary to one of the good reviews on this site I paid for an Angies list subscription simply to be able to share this review and my honest experience with this man. It has been nothing but disappointment and I would not want other people to be duped by him. Please check out other sites for a review of this company for example merchant circle. I deeply regret failing to read those reviews first as it seems he is known for doing this to other people. I also know now that I cannot trust all the reviews on this site either. It's a good thing the subscription was cheap.

James and crew were a pleasure to work with. They showed up on time, worked hard throughout the day, and cleaned up very well. We have already recommended them to friends, and plan on using them again in the future.

They came out here and they did an estimate. I said to go ahead with the work; they never showed within a week. I called them and then the guy said they forgot about it. I told them to do it and they never came back again so 2 strikes were out.

Yes, they were professional and polite, Oh yeah, they were consistent and punctual too. They were clean. They articulately measured, and precisely cut. They even used fancy leveling gadgets. O.K., so they got the science down. They did the job well. Does it matter? Sure it matters. But something matters more. I"ll tell you. They worked, not only with their hands, but more importantly, with their artistic imagination. Their ability to stop, think, look around, consult with us, throw ideas in the air, and then start working again. They weren't even working. They were creating, they obsessed, they strived for perfectionism. He took me to the nursery. I picked out shrubs and flowers. He spread them around my yard. Spread them around again. I was so pleased. Guess what...he wasn't. You know what he did? He left my yard. Came back with more shrubs and flowers, varying sizes and color. He spread them around, and made it look even better. These guys transcended the ordinary. They entered the "6th sense" when they worked. They produced from their souls. Trust them. Some people specialize in science...others art. Few do both. The Scanapico brothers chemistry creates artistic miracles. Review by Marianne

The guys worked hard for several hours and were joined by other crews that finished earlier. Did a great job. I don't recall what we paid because it is awhile ago but I remember feeling like we should have given them more if we could have afforded it. Unfortunately, because we are new home owners and have to spend our money on renovating and old property, we had to discontinue the luxury of having a landscaper. But we would hire Scanapico again if we can afford to in the future.

I was satisfied with their service.

Recently replaced our prior landscaping service with Scanapico and it was one of the best decisions we made. Not only were they more reseasonable then my prior landscaper, the quality of the work so far has been excellent. I use to pay my old landscaper to power rake my lawn and he would be here and gone in under an hour and did nothing more than power rake my front lawn. Scanapico Landscaping came and power raked both my front and rear lawn, cleaned out my flower beds and loosed the soil around all my shrubs in the back yard to help them grow better. They were here for hours and when they left, my yard never looked better. My next door neighbor even came over and commented that she was impressed by the work they did. They have cut my lawn several times since and instead of cutting the lawn in the same direction each time, they change the direction of the cut which is the proper way to mow a lawn. The only draw back is the workers cutting my lawn do not speak any English, so if I have any questions, or want something else done, I need to try to contact the foreman.

I was very pleased and impressed for many reasons. From the beginning, all of my phone calls were returned by Mr. James Scanapico in a timely fashion. James and Troy were easy to speak with they were available to answer questions, offer suggestions, and assured me that the job would be completed as requested. His team of workers arrived on time, were courteous, they worked well with each other and got the job done. I was also impressed that Mr. James Scanapico and his brother Troy were on the job during the day. They supervised their staff and made sure all work was performed correctly and stepped in if needed to advise their staff as the job progressed. I would recommend them highly.

I am a retired Police Officer and presently work in the financial market as a Regional Security Manager. I am usually very critical and cynical about many individuals. I recently purchased a home that needed extensive work inside and out. I contracted the services of Scanapico Brothers for a complete yard makeover from landscaping to pavers. They were the most reasonably priced and refused to take any money down for materials or other necessary supplies prior to the start of the job. On top of that, we were told if we were not satified with the work done I did not have to pay them. To say the least, I was impressed just by this before the work was even performed. James and Troy with their team arrived on the day and time they said. It took only three days and they transformed what was once a patch of barren dirt into a yard that looked like a showplace to entertain family and guests.The suggestions and concern they had to make sure we would be happy when the job was completed was something I was not used to. It takes a lot to impress me but I was definitely impressed. This is the first review I have ever written because I felt no ever warranted one. I even paid for a month's subscription just to write my own review. I would definitely recommend them to family/friends and use them again for another project. They were professional, clean, punctual and kept their word on everything that was promised. In today's society it is very rare to find individuals let alone a company who puts the concerns and satisfication of their customers above profit. Thank you James and Troy for giving us more then a yard to enjoy. You have given me back the belief that there still are people out there who really take pride in what they do and are willing to stand by their reputation.

Tried to contact may 10th and 14th. As of 10-19-14 no answer. May be out of business.

James is very easy to work with and can quickly convert your ideas into a working plan. His crew is professional and friendly. Their work is impeccable and the attention to detail is amazing. They aren't done until you're 110% satisfied. I can't say enough good about this company ... and we will definately have them back to do projects in the future.

I previously commented on the great work and professionalism of James and his crew at Scanapico Brothers. My neighbors also liked the work that was done and I have received many compliments. The reason I am adding an additional review is that after the rains we had this week 4-28 through May 1, 2014 5 plus inches of rain, I had no standing water in my driveway and this was always a problem with the old driveway. Way to go!! and Thank you for a job well done.
