Edited a year later- Drive way began deteriorating rapidly after a few months / tried contacting via phone and email/ would not respond- would not return calls left with staff- go with someone else if you want the work to last and people to stand by their work. Original post-Great job From start to finish - easy and professional. Wholeheartedly recommend for all your drainage needs.

William, Lewis, and Cash did great work as far as the French drain goes. They installed a much needed French drain that is working well and fixed the flooding in our backyard. As for the gutter work, I would look elsewhere. They added a downspout that did not match the color of the existing gutters and left black paint on my white exterior walls! As for the gutter guard they installed, it looks cheap and unprofessional. I was told that it would sit inside the gutters and be out of sight, but that is not the case whatsoever. An eyesore is an understatement. Completely unacceptable for what I paid this company… I have reached out to them to resolve this issue. Let’s see what they say; I’ll be back to update this review…

I recently hired The French Guys in Orange City, FL to work on my sprinkler system, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. From start to finish, they were professional, punctual, and clearly knowledgeable about what they were doing. They showed up on time, explained the work that needed to be done, and handled everything efficiently. A special shout out to Ben, the owner, who truly sets the tone for the company. He’s always smiling, has a great positive attitude, and makes you feel confident that you’re in good hands. It’s refreshing to work with a company that values professionalism and customer service as much as quality work. I highly recommend The French Guys if you need sprinkler or irrigation work done in the area!

Buyer beware. Lots of 5 stars, but there’s a couple similar to my experience. Quick to respond and quick to show up. However it went downhill fast. Minimum job I was told $3000. Could not do the simple job I asked. I feel like they didn’t listen. They’re straight up salesmen, in my opinion. Trying to upsell and offer things I never asked for. Please use caution and be sure to get a few quotes.

The team fixed my water discharge issues and installed 2 french drains with a pump and waterproofed an area where I had water intrusion. Javier and his team are super professional and left my property grounds in manicured condition as well. Thanks to Godfrey and his recommendation now I'm ready for the rainy season!

Three guys came Geraldo, Julian, Carlos and did the work on the flooding issue. Beyond professional, fast and intelligent I ended up getting more than expected and complete clean up like they were never there. They were meticulous ensuring all things like internet and septic were safe before digging. I believe I got a lifetime solution to my flooding problem. Worth every penny! Highly recommend this company. Will be using for east side when budget allows 😀oh and guy came day previous to do gutters on east and west side. Same thing he was professional and did exactly what we needed and it’s flawless work!

Gerardo, Jhustian, and Carlos were nice people and worked quickly; however, what I paid for and what I received were two very different things. I was quoted and expected a functional french drain system, but what was installed was essentially a basic downspout extension for nearly $3,000. Instead of the blue commercial-grade pipe shown in their examples, they used standard black corrugated tubing.. the same type you can buy at Home Depot. There was no continuous gravel bed, no catch basin, and no slope, just a short buried pipe leading to a grated outlet. A basic DIY project could have accomplished the same thing for under $300 and a single afternoon of work. I feel misled by how the project was represented and would not have chosen this company had I understood the scope upfront. Hopefully the issue will be corrected.

The French Drain Guys did an awesome job at my house. My backyard would fill with water during hurricanes and heavy rain. Ben and the team came out and dug french drains with drain pipe, rocks and permeable fabric. All of my downspouts were routed into the new french drain system. They also installed a 55 gallon sump and electric sump pump. After our first heavy rain, every aspect worked to perfection. the sump pump pumped all the water to the drain grates which was very satisfying to watch. After completion of the job, cleanup was such that you would never know they were there. Ben even followed up to assure our 100% satisfaction. I just had a service check up with Julian and Geraldo, both were really well qualified, polite and punctual. They found an issue that didn't meet their expectations and immediately corrected it. I could not have been more pleased with the result.

Geraldo and Julian did a great job as well as all the crews that came and worked on our project. The electrician was awesome as well. We ended up with two sump pumps that were very happy with great price. Great service well done on time as promised.
