They did a great job if planning how the stairs would go and building them. Last summer they replaced a cracking patio under my deck and also leveled my deck in the process. The concrete work was great and the price fair. My only complaint is that they are hard to get in touch with.

I started to call them about 11 months later to inform them my cement was pitting, crumbing and cracking in places. I was told they would come out and look at the driveway and set a time for repairs. I been calling every 1-2 weeks for almost a year and still no repairs have been made. Our next steps are contacting the better business bureau and possible legal action.

I see that several months ago the owners of this company had my review taken down. I have a…read morepersonal experience with this company as they hit multiple utility lines in my yard. Sam proceeded to verbally threaten my husband and then turn around and call the police and when they found out that I had everything on video and audio Sam backpedaled, and all of a sudden called the police back and told them not to come out. Yelp moderators I will gladly send you any and all video proof that you need. This company destroyed my yard when they hit multiple lines and never fixed anything. However, if you hire them and complain to Sam, he will get in your face threaten you and then stand back and say what what did I say I didn't do anything. Stay far far away from this company. They took on a job in our mobile home community and started around March 2019. Here we are May 2020 and the job is nowhere near completed. We've kept track and they have hit gas, electric, water and Internet lines over 30 times in this community. Imagine being without water in the heat of summer because these guys are too cheap to hire a utility locating service. They lied to us and say the water lines are too hard to find, but that's not true. If they hired a utility locating service and actually hired competent crewmembers this job would've been finished with no lines hit. I wonder how they are affording all these fines that they are amassing from utility service providers for all the lines they keep hitting. The crew constantly changes every several weeks. Most recently today the owner Sam was seen by several residents bodyslamming his dog into the bed of his pick up truck. If you want professionalism and a job done on time stay away. If you want the lowest bid and don't care about quality or professionalism then these are your guys.

Overall unhappy with my experience. The owner was a good guy…read moreand professional but one of the workers was rude and very unprofessional. He even said he knew we were going to be a problem client because we went out and asked questions and confirmed what was agreed upon during the bid. There were several things that were brought up during the bid that the workers wanted to do differently, one was that they were supposed to remove a concrete pad outside our door, they said they would remove it and then decided not to, saying that by leaving it there it would strengthen the new patio? Turns out, it is cracking all along where the old pad is. They also charged us to remove the old concrete pad, which they didn't remove, and didn't refund us the money that they were paid to remove the old pad. The other was working around a window well, which required them to modify the slope of the pad. It didn't seem like they put down the agreed upon depth of the base gravel. They said they used 5000 psi concrete but what we found out is they used 4000 psi then added something (Portland cement) to increase it to 5000. They didn't clean up very well and we still have concrete on my driveway from where they mixed. They said they would clean up the concrete splatter from the driveway, fences, and alongside the house but didn't and my wife spent over five hours scrubbing most of it off. The framing was done poorly, we have gaps and significant spillage. We had to chisel out some sprinkling pipes because of the spillage. We also pinned back some pipes that we didn't want to have concrete poured on, and told them to leave those pipes where they were because we didn't want concrete on top of them. They unpinned the pipes, threw them back in the ground, and poured on them which now makes them useless and we can no longer use them for what we originally planned for. We asked for the patio to be a certain width and they came up about 6 inches too short all along the entire length of the patio but still charged us for the length that we had originally asked for but didn't get. The first time our stairs were poured they had concerns about the concrete and so they ripped it out, so credit to them on that. The second time they poured they removed the frame too early from the steps which caused an entire side of the steps to crack and slope to the one side. We didn't see it until it had set as they had it covered. Later I found out they knew about it but didn't want to do it again and still went ahead with the patio pour. It's very noticeable and has made us lose our footing on several occasions causing falls. Initially, they didn't want to do anything to fix it, then they said if they fixed it it would look bad, then we finally agreed on a slight discount of only $500 when the stairs themselves cost $2500 and will cost us, even more, to have them removed since they need to be redone. In less than 2 months we started seeing cracks. At the time I write this it's been less than 11 months. People are commenting that the stress lines are crooked and done oddly. The first cracks are getting wider, we have cracks in new areas, one is on the area of the stairs that was done wrong and one that is over 6 feet long in the center of the patio and getting longer and wider.

Demo and re-pour of a basic cement driveway…read more This was a friend of a friend referral and sadly, it did not go well. It cost over 10k since my city had to pay for it. They put in a slipe on my previously flat driveway. This was the 3rd time it had to be redone. We asked all the pertinent questions and were taken over by the SL Country Club to see a stamped driveway that looked good. Though it was nowhere near my area. That gave me pause. Next, I was told there had to be a drain and it would not ever be a problem because the water eould go out west through the drain instead of flooding my garage. We let him go to it. He did do an extra spot, so all good. Turns out, the entire driveway isn't on a tilt. Everything flows to the drain. Even places that were not flood I no amd we had no trouble with are now on a grade. I had a patio, open air, but 9t now has too much of a grade to exist. I had to remove it. I also have had numerous knee surgeries and it is difficult to navigate all the slopes. We weren't told it would be everything, or as extreme, especially in unneeded areas. But, we didn't have a choice by then. We sealed the driveway, as told, and shortly after it was poured we got a full slab Crack. We called and were told, no guarantee on that so, oh well. The driveway was flaking after the 1st winter and by the second, it had chunks coming out where the seams were. The sides have a 2 in ch drop because they didn't level it. I would absolutely not use them again. I have money to repair all of the damage​​, so I am left with a crumbling driveway. It looks awful. I took photos after that 2nd winter for documentation of how bad it was. Oh, and that no problem drain? It fills with silt, leaves, and ices over in the winter which is exactly what I said I was worried it would do. It also does mot carry the water load in the hard rain so my garage still floods. ​
