PROS:
- Large credible company with amazing resources and full-time staff. NO SUBCONTRACTORS! Everyone worked for Green Advisor Inc.
- Fully licensed and backs their work with a warranty and their word.
- Very kind and professional staff. Made me feel like part of a family.
- Although it's a large company with multiple project managers, the owner, Shai, made it a point to visit the site and ensure everything was going as planned.
- Many FINANCING OPTIONS with really low interest rates.
- Highly skilled and experienced workers.
- Project manager could always be contacted. Didn't matter the time.
- Always someone on site who spoke English. This was important to me since I was always on site and would want detailed updates throughout.
- You don't pay until everything is complete AND you are completely satisfied. No pay as you go scams that some contractors do.
- Everyone wore masks and kept their distance when speaking with me.
- Brought their own Porta-Potty so none of the workers needed to use my restroom.
- The cost was reflected in their quality of work. They're not the cheapest, nor the most expensive. However, they did work with me with my budget.
- Everything I threw at them, they knew how to do and had skilled workers for it.

CONS:
None. And I"m serious...none. Any issue that I had, it was quickly resolved to my satisfaction. Every project will have their hiccups, but I judge the credibility of a company by the way they respond. In any large project, things will happen, so be sure to manage your expectations when going into it. They're not God, they don't control the weather.

OVERVIEW: Green Advisors were initially hired to just create a 3D model of a future project I had in mind for my forever house. However, I found out that they had AMAZING FINANCING OPTIONS. So what first was just a sketch became a full on project for my front yard. I was approved to do my entire front yard!

PLANNING:
I initially met with one of their sales reps, Owen. He was very welcoming and listened to all of my ideas. He also showed me works that his company had done in the past to give me other ideas of what they might do. He was respectful of the budget I needed to be within. So he found ways to get what I wanted, even if it called to cut costs on their end. For the most part, I knew what I wanted. I completed my planning with my assigned project manager- Ron. Everything was measured twice, drawn out to exactly what I wanted, and reviewed throughout the project. Ron would keep me updated every week on what was going to be completed and when. Even if there was no work to be done, he would come over to make sure I was happy with the progress.

EXECUTION:
My project started on the day AND time that was scheduled (Nov. 24). My solar panels were installed first along with the rain gutters. Afterwards, the front yard was started. Demolition began with an ARMY of workers. I had neighbors on both sides that I made aware of the ongoing work that would happen in the next couple of months. I made clear to Ron that work would not start until 8am and to not disturb my neighbor's property. This was followed and any accidental interruption of my neighbors yard was quickly remedied.

COMPLETION:
My front yard was completed ahead of schedule. What's even more amazing is I made some changes along the way and they still finished in time. I am very OCD and a perfectionist when it comes to my property so any detail I was not satisfied with, I would alert it to Ron and he fixed it immediately, no questions asked. What Ron wanted to make sure of, was that I was happy. So now I have my dream front yard. My entire neighborhood was amazed with the transformation and so many people asked who was doing the work. I am so proud of the work they completed. I'll be adding more plants and additional lights with my own touch.
