Judy, her husband, and team are great to work with. Punctual, professional, and friendly. We've used them for light tree trimming and leaf removal and plan to use their other offer services, power washing, mowing, mulching, etc. in the future. They do excellent work with attention to detail at very reasonable prices.

Initially I was told that they would contact me in the next couple of weeks to schedule an appointment. When that didn't happen, I recontacted the company, only to receive no return calls to my voice mails. Eventually I was told that someone would be out to see what I needed to have done, but that didn't happen either. Another company subsequently agreed to honor the purchase originally made from D&J Affordable Services
Description of Work: Despite repeated attempts to schedule service, I either received no reply or a missed appointment. Wouldn't use this company again.

Prompt with callback and scheduling. Did excellent job with removing leaves, which was a real chore because of the ones that were in the ditch, which were wet. They hauled all of them off. We were very pleased with the work and with the professionalism of this company. We will definitely hire them again in the spring to do landscaping in our back yard.

I had been calling them since mid Nov. called 7-8 times and left a messages, and they never returned my phone calls. I finally got someone, she apologized and said she would get back to me this Monday. Again no one called I waited a day or two, and left another message stating that I needed to know, she called me this morning and said that they were over whelmed with the deal, blamed it on Angie's list, and said they would come out tomorrow but I would have to pay them $150 and I would have to call AL to get my refund. I did not feel comfortable doing that.

I tried to have my leaves raked in November. The week before Thanksgiving they said they had had a death in the family. I allowed for rescheduling and asked for contact after Thanksgiving. 2 Weeks after Thanksgiving, they did not call. I had to call them. Scheduled for mulch spreading today at 1.00 I called at 1. no response. Then at 2 and again at 3. No response until 4:30. I told them I was going to tell Angie's List I wanted a refund.

This Big Deal was purchased as a gift for my mother. She called the company several times to schedule the service. The company had an issue with the scheduled date, and said they would call to reschedule. It has been weeks and they have not tried to reschedule. It was a big waste of money.

The big deal coupon special was overwhelming....So many custmers wanted work done at the same time. Work for jobs required way over 4 hours. I will never have my company advertise this special again. It is unfair to the customer & my staff. We r going to jobs sight unseen. This customer name im not sure about, the mother never gave her daughters name...our company provides quality work at affordable pricing. If this customer contacts me i will provide the service. If you want service...contact me. DIRECTLY....we give affordable pricing without an ANGIE COUPON.

Very pleasant folks.! "Bought" services through Angie's List.. Contacted them promptly. They had a family death I think and the service date was changed (no problem). The only surprise was that there was a charge ($40.00) for removal of the leaves over and above what was paid through Angie's List.

It was an all out great experience.
Description of Work: I had to call D and J Affordable Services at the last minute to move some bushes in my yard. It was no problem for them. They did not charge me a fortune even though they had to make two trips to do the work. Their work was unbelievable and professional. Judy is so personable.

Contacted Judy of D & J Affordable Services to get me caught up on my plan to have the yard prepared for Spring. We spoke on the phone and she was very professional and knowledgeable regarding what they were doing. They came out as scheduled to perform the aeration, seeding and fertilizing, unfortunately, just as it started to rain. i would have expected them to re-schedule, but they went ahead and completed the tasks; good for the grass, uncomfortable for the workers..and I appreciated it ! My plan was to do the work in September, but before I knew it, October was here. D & J Affordable Services got the job done, did a great job and I didn't even have to be here to check on them.
Description of Work: Requested contractor to aerate, seed and fertilize yard (approx. .24 acres). While the back-yard is more open, the front yard has garden areas or obstacles to navigate.

The man who provide service for my lawn stopped doing lawn work at the beginning of August of this year. I needed someone who would mow my relatively small front lawn, edge the sidewalk and tidy up by blowing clippings, etc., away from the front door, side walk, driveway and street. I found D&J Affordable Services on Angie's List. Judy promptly returned my call, stopped by and gave me an an estimate that was in line with what I've been paying for the last few years. The lawn was scheduled the same week and and every other Thursday thereafter. Judy calls on Wednesday to let me know they will be mowing the next day. I've been very pleased with the service provided and will use them for other yard work that needs to be done this fall. D&J Affordable Services is very professional and provides high quality service at a reasonable price.
Description of Work: In August I hired D&J Affordable Services to maintain my front yard. Services includes mowing the front lawn every 2 weeks, edging the side walk, blowing clippings, leaves, etc., from area at front door, along sidewalk, driveway and street.

I first communicated with Judy on Oct 31st for an estimate for removal of bushes/hedges in my front yard. The same day we talked, I also emailed her pictures since I was aware that the vendor operates some distance away from my home. Judy said she would look at the pictures and call back soon to provide me with an estimate. On Sep 7th (a Friday), Judy left me a voice message (and a text message informing me about the voice message) saying that a visit to my house would be required. I called back on Monday and a visit was scheduled and completed (in my absence which was mutually agreed upon) that evening. I never heard back from Judy thereafter and I did not follow-up on that because I concluded that the vendor was not interested in providing an estimate/services since it had taken such a long time (10 days) to complete a visit. In all fairness, Judy had asked about the time-frame for getting the job done and it is possible that the time taken to schedule a visit for the purpose of an estimate was dictated by my response - I needed to complete the job on or before 9/22. The job was completed on 9/22 by another Angie's List vendor.

Response from D&J Affordable Services
The member & I communicated on Aug 31st, the conversations we had, a deadline of Sept 22 was never discussed. Mitigating circumstances prevented me from getting the estimate to the member after we visited his property for estimate. Since this report, I contacted the member, explained situation that occurred to him. I offered customer a discount for future services. After conversation with customer, the member stated he understood why he did not here from me and was glad I contacted him to explain. I look forward to having the opportunity to work with the member in the future. I missed out for working for a GREAT CUSTOMER.

Everything has been lovely so far. Judy is a pleasure to work with and very professional. They did such a great job, that I am having them cut my grass every 2 weeks. I am looking foward to getting a price for the rest of the landscaping.
Description of Work: My lawn had not been cut in many weeks. It had become a jungle due to all of the rain that we have had. I found this company on Angie's List and contacted Judy. We played "phone tag" a few times before we actually connected (this was due to no fault of Judy's). They came to take a look at my yard while I was at work. She called me with a price to cut the grass right then, I came home several hours later to find a beautiful front yard. They are going to give me a quote to do the actual landscaping. I will certainly use D&J. The communication has been wonderful, and the service is great!

We initially called and left a message. Judy called back promptly and was so helpful on the phone. She took all of our information and called me with a date they could come and complete the job. They arrived early on Saturday morning and worked all day, not leaving until the yard was absolutely perfect. We stood on our deck in the pouring rain admiring their handiwork! They are true professionals and we could not be happier with the work they did. Dave and Judy work well as a team and we will surely use them again!
Description of Work: D & J Affordable Services came to clean an overgrown flower bed for us. They arrived with Dave and two other workers and immediately began working on clearing the overgrown weeds,ivy, other vines, poison ivy and finished with edging and mulching both sides of my yard. After they cleared the flower bed, they removed all the yard waste.They were here until they completed the job and we could not be more thrilled with the finished product!

This year we had a new baby and a demanding new job. Needless to say, our yard has taken a backseat to life and was completely out of control. We were the embarrassing house on the block. Out of desperation, I did a search on Angie's List and liked what I was reading about D&J. We were only interested in occasional service when needed. I called them on a Monday hoping they would be able to come out that week. Judy got back to me a few hours later and we tentatively scheduled service for Thursday or Friday. I heard from her on Thursday that they would be in our area on Friday... however, by about 4 p.m., it had started storming. It wasn't anyone's fault (except maybe Mother Nature). In the meantime, we mowed that weekend, and they offered to come by the house the following week to give us an estimate in case we ever needed their services in the future. Their price was so reasonable that we decided to schedule a service. They came out yesterday and did a fantastic job! It took 3 people just under 45 minutes to tame our wild yard (which is .35 acres - pretty small). I'd imagine the next time they come it won't even take that long since it won't be as out of control. Their work was so thorough and neat, that our yard has actually never looked better! I especially appreciate the communication from Judy via phone and texting - it is really helpful to know when to expect them. Over all excellent work, very affordable pricing, and I look forward to working with them often in the future!
