Home Services reviews in Framingham, Massachusetts

Met with Amilcar on a Tuesday to discuss the project. Showed him what we were looking to have done. We negotiated a fair price and I can’t compliment enough the job he did. He and his team went above and beyond. They were extremely efficient and took great care of all of our needs, and they even touched up some additional areas without charging extra. If more than 5 stars was an option, they would receive it. Excellent job!

Amilcar removed bushes and built a beautiful paver patio for us this spring. He was professional, kind, and very accessible. From the day I first contacted him to inquire about the job to when the job was finished was 15 days, which was unexpected and fantastic! His price was very fair, he does great work, and he is an overall very nice guy. I highly recommend his company and will definitely call him in the future for any landscaping and hardscaping jobs.

I'll break down the different components of my experience with Amilcar building a granite cobblestone parking pad for our teenager's car.

Hiring Process:
While walking our dog, my wife and I admired a patio Amilcar was building in a neighbor's backyard. He noticed us and invited us to take a closer look. We were impressed, so asked him for his card. A few weeks later we sent him an email with an inspiration picture. He called us the next day and came out to take some measurements. Two days later we had a detailed estimate, and we signed the contract on a Thursday. Friday night he dropped off equipment, and 7:00 a.m. Saturday he and his crew arrived. A fast, efficient process.

The Workday:
A crew of three consisting of Amilcar, Kevin (Amilcar's younger brother), and Leo. Amilcar was back and forth in his truck delivering material from the stone yard, while Kevin and Leo did the majority of the heavy labor. They started at 7:00 a.m. and finished at 4:30, with only a 30 minute lunch break. Charmingly, Amilcar's wife and young kids delivered them lunch.

The Results:
We have a beautiful 12' x 18' granite cobblestone parking pad. It's so nice, it seems a shame to park a car on it! I'm impressed by how closely they were able to align the stone to our asphalt driveway. Each cobblestone is 4 inches thick, so cutting curves must have been a bear. They cemented in the sides, under the dirt to lock them in, as they leveled it with 10" of material to compensate for the slope. They took care to grade and seed the dirt around the pad, so it's going to look even better once the seed takes.

Final Impression:
I really appreciated Amilcar's responsive communication, his positive demeanor, his crew's efficient work, the clean job site at finish, and, of course, how the project beautifies what was once a muddy dead spot next to our driveway.

I would not hesitate to hire Amilcar. Contact me if you have any questions, or want to come see the parking pad in person.

I am extremely satisfied with the work Amilcar and his team do. This latest project was digging out some edging and mulching our yard. He quoted us fairly and honestly (as always) and did a quick, efficient and quality job. He has done stone work for the front walkway as well. Each time he has done it in a day and did not sacrifice quality (he is realistic about timing and the amount of work something takes). We are new homeowners and he is always amenable to discussing and telling us what is realistic and what would look nice while keeping my vision. I can’t recommend Amilcar and his company enough - they are the only ones I call.

He makes good on his promises

In 2 week's. Vegetables plant's .. To be arriving !!! SPRING IS HERE !!!!

Have used this shop once, not a pleasant experience.

Nice flowers but not as good as the previous owner and the appliances were not that good

Good quality flowers but not as good as the previous owner.

We bought a washer and it wasn't working they came and tried to fixed and it couldn't,we went and bought another one and didn't gave problems for us,for almost 2 years.
We bought a fridge and it wasn't working properly and than we return and we bought a new one and it never gave us any issues.

BUYER BEWARE. I bought a stove from Larry that 3 out of the 4 burners did not work. Larry claims he tests all of his appliances before selling. Complete lie. Now he will not honor is warranty. STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY!

My roommates and I bought a washer & a refrigerator there years ago. The price and service were so good we we’re just talking about it again. Highly recommend.

Very nice place, wonderful people, I bought a refrigerator there and it’s a good place to shop

Exceptional service, owner is awesome, kind, respectful, helpful, compassionate and caring

I've bought several stoves and refrigerators over the years at Larry's. Even given these are used not new from the department store they've been reliable appliances. One fridge did have a problem and they sent a repairman immediately. Staff there has always been friendly and not pushy.

1st visit woman employee could not access mulch, told me to come back following day. 2nd visit she had male employee. Asked 3X for black mulch. Got home, opened bag. RED mulch! Disgusted, never will return. Female employee has an attitude from hell! Who owns this place now? Larry and Norm ran a good business, sent several friends there.
