Jeff and his team did an absolutely tremendous job! We had a delay to due HOA approval and he was very understanding and accommodating. Once the work got started he was very involved every step.

The price was about what I expected to pay. They put in a whole new post and they asked me about width of the gate and I needed it to be wide enough for a riding lawn mower to come through. They came and checked and actually the owner's father lived across the street and he came and checked too. I was lucky in that way. They used good quality material. They talked to me about what I wanted and then they went and got the materials and they didn't request the payment right away. They allowed me to mail it to them and they did call and check to see that everything was okay.

Mr. [Member Name Removed], We apologize for the delay in providing an estimate. We strive to provide estimates as quickly as possible. In this particular case, we didn't meet our own expectations. Our Angie's list rating shows this is out of the normal. Thank you.

excellent; this company is very easy to work with and they do an amazing job. Their bid was reasonable, work was completed ahead of schedule and the final product is perfect. I also believe that in the unlikely event we should encouter any problems with the fence that JL would likely address it...we plan to use them for other projects this summer.

The original bid given back in August was a little higher than what we had set aside for this project, but Jeff agreed to the lower cost, if we did not mind waiting until November, which we had no problem with. The quality, timeliness to complete, and professionalism were exceptional. We made a small change at the last minute, which they had no problem with either. The only thing I can say negatively, was that at least 2 of the stairs had gaps large enough to see through the other side, but Jeff has agreed to fix the problem. I plan on referring him to my best friend now that I see the quality and affordability of his work.
Description of Work: Existing lower deck was replaced with new deck, replaced existing stairs with new ones extending off new upper deck, and wood walkway in rear and side yard added.

Based upon not returning call, can not opine. After I posted this unfavorable review I did receive a call from the owner leaving a message that if I still wanted an estimate to call them. The company also challenged my review with erroneous info to Angie's list in which they followed up and kept my review posted. If not for the BS reply, I would have gladly removed the F, since we all have bad days, but to say they called me back (before the post) is troubling and question's their integrity as a business. Perhaps more quality review on their phone service and reviewing their records would be in order. As to JL's statement that they "NEVER" have done any work for me... I agree and it that fact will never change.
Description of Work: Contacted company along with two others to obtain an estimate based on high Angie's list ratings. Did not get a return call or any followup.

They did a great job!
Description of Work: I sold my house in Dec. 2012 & bought my present home in Jan. 2013, I contacted JL and set up a day to meet with him for an estimate. I had two other bids besides JL'S. JL'S bid was comparable to custom fence in Manassas, how ever since I had custom fence install a privacy fence at my previous residence I knew that i wouldnt be using them! VERY POOR WORKMANSHIP AND NO CUSTOMER SERVICE!!!!! JL built the fence the way I wanted it to be built, he nailed and screwed the frame that I wanted. never questioned me, or tried to push me in to doing it his way. They built the fence in a couple of days (had some snow) and it is solid. I have 2 big dogs, both over 100 pounds and I dont have to worry about them getting out or anybody getting in! thank you JL

Considering that we recommended him to other people. I would say that he was affordable. They did good work and they were very conscientious. We were concerned about some of the spots where the sod was put down were dry looking and he that it would take a couple of weeks. He would come back if the sod would not take the places we were concerned about. He was the most reasonable. When my husband had emailed him or called him, he responded very quickly.
Description of Work: I used J L Affordable Landscaping/Decks and Fences to do the front and yard work. He put the butterfly bushes and two trees. He redid the sod built some couple of steps for the big potted tomatoes plants. He also put bushes in front. He also did some landscaping out front.

From appraisals to job completion, and from the owner to the employees, everything was smooth, professional, timely and honest. This company is outstanding. Both jobs added unbelievable curb appeal. They used top-quality materials and have very skilled employees. We are so pleased with the results and we highly recommend JL Affordable Landscaping/Decks and Fences. We will definitely contract with them in the future.
Description of Work: In May 2011, the company did a beautiful and professional job of hardscaping (landscaping) our driveway/parking area. The large area was framed with 6X6 timbers and leveled and filled with gravel. In late July/early August 2011, the company returned to dismantle two large porches/decks and replaced all decking, railings and trim with high quality, maintenance-free materials. Another beautiful and professional job.

I've used them before. The price was excellent. It is a small family company. I like Jeff, the owner, and he always does a really good job. His prices are always competitive. If they are not the best, they are real good. They come in and get the job done and do a real good job. He always has the same crew. He's local and I like that. He doesn't do mowing or stuff like that. I would use them again.

The job was excellent. They cleared and hauled off the brush they removed and did some dirt work the results of which were excellent and increased our usable yard three fold. The built a Mt.

The price was by far the best and the work was excellent. Family owned business and the carpenters were all very professional and Knowledgeable. The decks took 3 1/2 days to complete and they look fantastic. The crew left the work area as clean as when they found it. i would certainly recommend them for the construction of your deck.
Description of Work: JL Affordable constructed a 12x20 deck 10 feet above the ground off of my kitchen and a 10x12 ground level deck at the walk out basement.
