What can I say? Oscar Ramirez, owner of Michapa Design LLC, is a wonderful contractor with whom to work. He responded within 3 minutes, expressing a desire to learn more of my project and offering a phone number to call. I called so we could arrange for a rapid meeting and I let him know of the previous disappointments I had experienced with several other contractors (one kept me waiting for 3 MONTHS without even a quote and we lost the time to plant this fall). When Oscar arrived, I showed him the property, we spoke in detail of what I needed, he asked questions, and he gave me a verbal quote on the spot, which I immediately accepted, as it was all inclusive, lower in price but very much in line with other estimates received (not so low as to be unbelievable, yet extremely reasonable). There was a small delay getting started, but once scheduled, he and his crew(s) arrived on time and jumped right in tearing down an old porch, a rotting, wood pole knee wall, and dismantling an unused bird bath/pond, then reconstructing the porch – it’s GORGEOUS!! They arrived when promised each of the following 3 days and restored the look of my property while doing some backbreaking work for me re-grading the land to fix drainage issues, installing some fill dirt, topsoil, LOADS of mulch and planting the 4 little trees I purchased (I know just how hard this project is because between 25-30 years ago, I alone created all the gardens, 3 planting beds, brought builder-installed sod to golf-course beauty, and installed more than 12 trees and many other plants on property with a 40 degree slope – yikes!). I introduced Oscar to the Edge Right metal edging system, which I purchased and they installed. I believe he may be a convert. LOL Over time, a few things changed and I requested some extra tasks, for each of which I offered to pay. Everyone was friendly, respectful, would not let me help with even minor things, and treated me as if I were their own granny – lovely people. We still have a couple of minor things to finish up with, depending on delivery of previously negotiated items and Spring for the plantings, but Oscar will come back to finish them as soon as I call. I am SO glad I chose Michapa Design LLC and I very highly recommend this company, Oscar and all his crew for whatever you need.

Fast reply. Needed ground leveling for pool. He literally came that same day and did it! I never expected to have been able to get this done so quickly! Did a great job. Very knowledgeable. Asked all the right questions you'd expect from any professional, so he is totally legit. I know there's always a worry about honesty and scams when looking for contractors, so it was a wonderful relief connecting with him.

Oscar and his team did a fantastic job replacing an old sidewalk and adding a new section to connect the driveway. I appreciate the quality of the work and follow through on the entire project. He was able to provide an estimate on site and came out the next day to begin working. The project was completed in three working days including clean up and bringing soil to level the yard. Highly recommended!
