Part one of a two part foundation project Recently we had…read moreour house foundation repaired by Groundworks out of Fairfield. One bedroom had sunk by almost 5 inches as that part of the house had been built on fill. In order to restore the house to it's proper level numerous foundation jacks and floor leveling screw jacks were required. In addition some landscaping bushes and pvc sprinkler pipes had to temporarily removed. Groundworks had informed me prior to starting work what would be required to successfully complete this project and had my full approval. The house is now level, the doors no longer swing on their own and the interior cracks between the walls and ceiling joints no longer exist. Prior to the crew leaving the yard was cleaned up and the pvc pipes replaced. Best of all Groundworks will come back annually to the next 5 years and make any necessary adjustments. The Groundworks crew that made this happen was Andrew, the site supervisor, Charlie and Allen. Their performance and daily communication was superior on all levels. This is part 2. The Groundworks Poly crew of Anthony & Brian were very fast and efficient in completing their part of the foundation repair contract which was to level our family room slab floor. Fast, yes, but Anthony did take the time to not only explain what they were going to do but also walked me through the process as they were working. I have no problem in recommending them & Groundworks to other home owners who need to have their foundation repaired.

I spent approximately $30,000 with Groundworks, and I deeply regret hiring them…read more I called Groundworks for one reason: contractors working on my floors noticed a slope and told me the beams underneath my house needed to be stabilized before they could continue. Groundworks assessed my crawl space and recommended a system they represented would address the problem. I relied on their expertise. That is the ONLY reason I agreed to spend approximately $30,000. When the project was about 80% complete, Groundworks suddenly told me I needed to call a carpenter. They did not explain that there was significant dry rot underneath my home or that the condition of the wood needed to be addressed before the work they were performing. I learned that later, after hiring an independent home inspector. By then, Groundworks had already been working throughout the same crawl space installing stabilization and encapsulation. My inspector identified significant dry rot and explained that it needed to be addressed first. Had I known that before Groundworks performed approximately $30,000 worth of work, I would NEVER have moved forward with their recommended system before addressing the underlying damage. And here is the worst part: THE ORIGINAL PROBLEM WAS NOT FIXED. The slope remains and appears to have increased since their work was completed. I am now facing additional repairs and expenses, and some of Groundworks' work may have to be undone or worked around to properly repair the underlying damage. The encapsulation has also been problematic. It was supposed to help keep my crawl space dry, but it was not properly secured, leaving openings that allowed rodents into my crawl space. I also later learned that the dehumidification equipment installed did not cover the entire crawl space as I understood it was supposed to. Then there is the customer service. Once they had my money, getting meaningful help became incredibly difficult. I have contacted corporate and have gone more than a month without a meaningful response. If Chris is assigned to your project, based on my experience, I would be extremely cautious. My advice before hiring Groundworks: GET AN INDEPENDENT INSPECTION FIRST. Do not rely solely on the assessment of the company selling you the system. Get everything in writing and ask specifically whether anything underneath your home needs to be repaired before their system is installed. I trusted Groundworks to identify the problem and recommend a solution. Approximately $30,000 later, my original problem remains, the slope appears worse, I discovered significant dry rot that should have been addressed first, I am facing additional repairs, the encapsulation allowed rodent access, and corporate has been unresponsive. I would NEVER recommend Groundworks based on my experience. $30,000 spent. Original problem unresolved. More repairs ahead. That speaks for itself.

Black Diamond Paver Stones & Landscape, Inc. did work for us six years ago to our walkway entrance…read moreof our home. What initially sold us was the 26 year warranty. So, we decided to reach out to them since we loved the pavers they did already, but this time with a MUCH bigger job. They sent Matt M. to our home, who ended up being our Project Manager. What was super important to us was to find someone that could translate our vision to his team and bring it to life. This is exactly what Matt did. His crew Sergio Sr, Sergio Jr and Marco and the rest of the crew were absolutely amazing! They paid attention to detail. They never rushed the process. They were always kind and understanding. They worked endless hours in brutal weather and poured love into our home. Super humans is what we called them! Master Masonry at its finest. If you are ever thinking about any hardscaping, landscaping or draining system for your home it would be in your best interest to reach out to Black Diamond. And ask for Matt and his All Star Team. They will not disappoint. Thank you Black Diamond!

Thank you, Black Diamond! Wow! What exquisite work!…read moreNeighbors and dog-walkers are still complimenting on our driveway and walkway! To begin, contractor, John Fruin met us to provide one of two bids for our project. He was the second we interviewed. Despite our plans to go with the first bid, he quickly won us over with his level of expertise and easy, no-pressure demeanor. He had clever ideas we had never considered. Long story short- he won us ten times over! And, the bid was dramatically lower than the other. Dramatically! We also loved the payment plan with no interest! Now... about the crew! AMAZING group of such dedicated, hard-working young, strong men we have ever seen! Our project was estimated at a little less than 2 weeks. And, guess what? It took 3 1/2 days!!! Unbelievable! The crew under foreman, Ulises worked so diligently and with such attention to detail. They arrived promptly early AM and left just before 6 PM. They impressed us and the neighbors in their last hour of work, power washing the project before their return the next day which included the street. Clean-up was quite impressive! And, the work was expertly executed! Each had their role and there was so much respect and encouragement between them all! Such a happy crew! Of course, we will continue to recommend them to anyone we know and have already referred to a few of those dog-walkers we never knew before!

I can't say enough great things about Innovative Concrete Solutions! It took me six months to find…read morethe right concrete contractor for my new build, and I'm so glad I waited until I found them. From start to finish, they were professional, knowledgeable, responsive, honest, and incredibly detail-oriented. They kept me informed throughout the entire process, took tremendous pride in their work, and were respectful of my property. They were also exceptionally clean--when they finished, they didn't leave debris or a mess behind. They completed a driveway extension, stamped and colored patio, mow strip, and a custom concrete bench, and the quality of every part of the project is truly second to none. The craftsmanship, attention to detail, and finished product exceeded my expectations. It's clear that this is a company that genuinely cares about doing things right and making sure their customers are happy. Finding the right contractor can be stressful, but Innovative Concrete Solutions made the entire experience easy and enjoyable. I would absolutely use them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for exceptional concrete work. Five stars all the way!

We had Innovative Concrete Solutions lay so much of the concrete in our front and back yard and…read moreboth side driveways. Originally, last May, we wanted the side driveways and a concrete slab to put our Tuff Shed on in the backyard, but within a week, we knew Innovative Concrete Solutions would also do high quality work on the patio portion that we wanted stamped and colored, so we added that to the backyard project. The owner Ramon designed a color for me after I showed him pictures of the shade of terra cotta I was going for. I received so many compliments on the unique color of my patio concrete from friends, family and neighbors. He can work a color to your preference, he has colors ready or you can come up with your own like I did. My husband and I were super pleased with the entire look of the two sides and back yard! Four months later in Oct, we were ready to put a couple of concrete walkways in the front yard. Again, I had specific designs chosen for stamping and colors and Ramon delivered again on another unique design and color impression sample that satisfied the look I was going for. For the price he was charging me for the two walkways, it was indeed worth what I got in return. The work done was professional and high level. We were beyond happy with the vibe and look created. THEN UNEXPECTEDLY, the ground below the main walkway started uprising within a month of the completed walk way work. My husband called Christian, and both Ramon and Christian came by within minutes and ensured us they would redo the concrete edge so the sidewalk and walkway would be seamless again. Not that any of this uprising was their fault and yet Ramon didn't want to charge us for any of the work he did today to get the concrete even with the sidewalk again. As customers worldwide would agree, customer service beyond the original project or product is everything to us. Thank you INNOVATIVE CONCRETE SOLUTIONS for the innovative and custom look created for us and the solution to the only one problem that came up. We cannot thank you enough for all the beauty the concrete has brought to our outdoor space and for going above and beyond to smooth down the edge of the concrete which looks absolutely amazing now!!

The…read morebackyard had river rocks, nails exposed, uneven ground, gopher problems, etc. We wanted to clean it up and make it simple. I reached out to multiple landscaping companies and All Season Landscaping were the only ones who truly listened to what we wanted. Others kept pushing for "this would look nice" or kept suggesting things that would cost more money. Others kept calling and we were trying to decide a landscaper. We finally decided to work with Jerry. Jerry was responsive and respectful to our time. He listened and worked with our budget. He kept us up to date with the project. Issues do arise, but he suggested how to fix them and walked us through it all. We are now loving our backyard and enjoying it a lot!

We've all been there where commitments are missed and you end up so frustrated. Not here. This company checked all the boxes for us, so the same day that I got the quote, I said yes. Now let's talk about the work! OMG! These guys are perfectionist and thank goodness because I have pretty high expectations. Now, I know this isn't typically what happens because schedules can be tight, but I said yes on Friday and they worked all day to finish my job on Saturday...the next day! Impressive! They listened to what we wanted and asked if I was pleased with where the project was headed. They are neat, pleasant, patient, and committed to getting it right. Superior customer service.
