They came out when they said they would and cleaned the roof and gutters and applied moss barrier. We are very pleased with Bonn Roof Care and plan to use them again next year!

I had Noosh remove 3 mature Rhododendron’s and rose bush. Gary quickly came out to assess the job and booked it for the next day. The two team crew was timely, very friendly, efficient, and left the area looking great. I would definitely recommend them.

True professionals to work with, I've never had an experience with a contractor as positive as working with Dan and his crew. He had an extensive portfolio of past projects to show me so that I could picture some options, and once I signed on with them I worked directly with Dan to design my dream, and I could tell he wasn't happy until I was. Then when his crew came in to actually do the work, I was absolutely blown away by how tidy and considerate each member of a crew was to my home. The very first day before they even brought in any tools they were laying down a roll of this protective cardboard stuff and protective plastic wrap in any area they'd be in, and asking every question they could think of about how to keep my belongings safe while they were working. They even helped me box up and move a bookshelf that I didn't even realize would be in their way! The experience was so painless that I feel like I'm just walking around my house looking for other things I could get done, and I have NEVER had that feeling after someone comes and works in my home, I can't say enough good things about them

We contacted Green Acres to thatch and reseed our lawn. The work went well. After the fact we noticed that they hadn't thatched around some existing sprinklers. I contacted Luis to let him know. He assured me he would be out personally to do what ever was necessary to make it right. Luis went above and beyond, the amount of time and
