I had several estimates and most wouldn't even considerer talking on the job because it was all hand work and in a VERY difficult manual labor based on this location. The owner James DeCory had some solid reassurances and fantastic suggestions that would remediate future recurrences . I'm getting long winded here but the bottom line is, he does outstanding Meticulous work. He was there faithfully every day and did it all by himself. Bottom line ! HE'S HONEST HARD WORKING DEDICATED and VERY REASONABLE! I know by singing his praises I might have to wait in line to get him back for any further remediation. After my experience with him I don't anticipate any further issues but I'll gladly wait in line for him!!

North Coast was recommended by a neighbor when I mentioned that I really needed to consider sealing my asphalt drive and didn't know where to seek help. So glad I called them. Phone service was prompt and customer service was great. Price was good and end result good. The only MINOR issue and I mean minor! Was that the very good and very efficient team of young men who did the work, were very unresponsive. No doubt they just wanted to get to work, finish and leave. They wanted to avoid chit-chatting . My attempt to welcome and greet them was basically ignored. But, they got right to work- so I I'm not too upset.

Very sloppy work-got asphalt on grass, and areas outside of the driveway-I called, spoke with receptionist who told me the manager wasn't in but I would get a call back and asked if I could send pictures-I did; I GOT NO RESPONSE BACK. I texted them and asked if they got my pics-they said "yes-thank you." Nothing other than that. Next two days went by-still no call from a manager or anyone. I called them and my message went to voicemail. Horrible business. I did not get a bill yet but will not pay it until someone contacts me to make things right!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They never showed up so I followed up with emails and phones calls weekly with no response. They finally showed up on Oct. 29th. I went with the owner to pick out block for the wall, I chose a block from what he showed me were my options. He had me pay for the material upfront. The next day he told me he did not realize how much the material would cost so he would be using a lesser quality so he wouldn't lose money (I waited over a month to get my refund for the difference in price). Once the crew arrived they complained quite frequently about the owner and one of them quit mid-project. They also did not show up everyday. The wall is not straight, has gaps, and several pieces were not glued down so they now can be lifted right off the wall. When I paid the remaining balance I made the check out to The Grounds Guys but Matt made me rip up the check and make it out to him personally so he wouldn't have to pay the franchise fees. During the project my NEW front lawn was ruined due to their trucks driving over it. I was told that it would be repaired either at the end of the project or early Spring. I contacted Matt in May about it and he said "I haven't forgotten about you". I am writing this on July 2nd, 2019 and he never showed up. I ended up having 3 yards of dirt delivered ($120) and I bought seed ($40) myself and fixed it. I have filed a complaint with corporate and am currently waiting to hear back.

I searched Yelp and found 3 possibiities of firms that I could consult with. Fortunatley, the first one--Hamlin Block & Concrete--came, saw, and conquered what I thought was an "impossible" job. They are masters in their field and were able to provide the expertise and quality workmanship so that one would never know my foundation was falling apart. The estimate they made was the final cost for their work. I am glad I put my trust in a company who lived up to their word.
