SunGrow divides sharply: five-star reviewers praise honest, responsive crews skilled at large properties, while the majority report no-shows, patchy mowing, and little follow-up on complaints. Newer reviews lean heavily negative, with condo residents and commercial clients describing uncut grass for weeks, poorly prepared sod work, and staff who don't answer emails or return calls.

Reviewers do not describe a single complaint in the recent set. Customers mostly praise how Noah keeps them updated, answers questions fast, and sticks to a fair quote. Many say jobs finished on schedule and the site was left clean. The work runs wide: roof repairs and replacements, gutters with leaf guards, metal roofs, tile, flooring, fences, and paint. Several reviews mention help with insurance claims and fixing a prior contractor's mistakes. Most reviews praise Noah by name, and some mention crew lead Jason.
