He’s a rare find and I would definitely recommend him.Posted on carina riveraTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I just got my drive way done and my floor done. The quote they gave me was a great price. They didn’t seem pushy at all. They quoted me a time frame and usually they take longer. I was really pleased with the time frame and the employees were really clean. I highly recommend Gil and his team. They were so professional and quick.

He provided a clear and competitive quote, which set the tone for the transparency and reliability that continued throughout the project. The interior painting was executed with meticulous attention to detail. The crew showed great care in preparing the surfaces, ensuring all furniture and fixtures were well protected. The final result was flawless – clean lines, smooth finishes, and a refreshed look that exceeded my expectations.

Why Your University Heights Landscaping Matters More Than You Think
Look, your yard isn’t just about curb appeal (though that matters too). It’s about creating a space where you actually want to be.
Imagine stepping outside with your morning coffee and feeling proud of what you see. Picture hosting friends for dinner on a beautiful patio surrounded by plants that smell amazing. Think about your kids having a safe, fun place to play that doesn’t look like a construction zone.
Good landscaping makes your daily life better. No more avoiding your backyard because it’s embarrassing. No more dreading those water bills because your grass drinks like it’s training for a marathon.
Plus, let’s talk numbers for a second. Quality landscaping can add 15-20% to your University Heights home value. We’re talking serious return on investment here, not just pretty flowers.
But here’s the thing – landscaping done wrong is worse than no landscaping at all. Dead plants, flooding issues, and maintenance nightmares can actually hurt your property value and your peace of mind.
