He was Very Kind & Gracious every step of the way. Pricing was fair. Ricky was flexible, and adapted to our changing wishes about the work, as it went along. He has a Keen Eye For Detail, and he's Very Conscientious. He sealed our concrete driveway and sidewalk, as well as applying a Beautifully Decorative Trim on the Driveway, and All Along our Stamped Concrete Pathways that encircle our house. But most impressive to me was his masonry work. He restored and sealed our terraced stone front yard, that had been crumbling apart for several years. He ground out the cracks and the old crumbling mortar, and replaced it with a mortar that matched our stones much better than the original. He added years of life to the steps and top platform. Plus he added new stones where we wanted them, matching them pretty well, even though our type of original stones are no longer available in our area. I've looked. He did a Great Job in every way, and he's a Mighty FINE Human Being! Thank You, Ricky! Hope to see You in 3 years to seal it all up again. ~Sunny :)

I had a 70 year old retaining wall next to the sidewalk that was failing - large cracks, leaning…read moreout. A serious hazard and potential liability. Previous owners planted large shrubs next to the wall, making things worse. Most of the professionals I talked to wanted to repair this wall. Ricky Lemon said it would be a lot of work, and expensive, but he agreed with me that the wall had to go. He and his small crew tore out the wall and the shrubs, hauled off the debris, and installed French drains and a terraced block wall that looks great in about two weeks of really hard work. Mr Lemon and his crew were respectful, pleasant to interact with, always willing to explain what they were doing, considerate of me and my neighbors, and really a delight to have working on my property. The work was top notch. The crew worked hard in hot weather - and I like this about Ricky Lemon - he provided cold drinks for his crew, insisted that they take breaks, and did not work during the two hottest days (so far) in July. In the end, he added railings on both sides of the two flights of steps up to my front door. Since I am as old as that wall was, I am really grateful that he did the extra work to find good-looking, sturdy, safe railings for me. The whole thing looks great now - I need to plant some flowers in the terraces, but it is too hot for that just now. If you hire Ricky Lemon, you will get someone who is a really good worker, who produces a great result - someone who knows what he is doing and does it really, really well.

I have dealt with Shane for around 5 years now. It started out great, used him for an apartment…read morecomplex that I work at and personal plumbing problems. Shane was very personal and helpful. We always paid him what he asked and quickly. I don't know what is going on with him, we had him install a water heater recently along with a dishwasher. After about two weeks the water heater was not heating properly. Tried to get ahold of Shane no luck. Finally talked to him. He said he was in Seaside working, and that he might be able to fix it on Saturday the 17th. I texted what time? No reply called voice mail full text more no reply. In the mean time I see on Facebook picture of his daughter cat fishing, guess where Seaside. Still no reply. Wife wondering when he will fix it. no reply. Still no reply. WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLUMBER. Wish I could put no stars.

So... I have to admit... I was one of those guys that chose the low bid and paid the price…read more I had a small excavation job and I thought it was too easy to mess up... so, I let a few hundred dollars difference cloud my judgement. I went with a different local guy who said all the right things and bid low. The guy's website said: "Attention to Detail Guaranteed. I offer this service at an extremely competitive rate while not compromising on a quality finish." Boy, was that a lie! This guy had no business doing this type of work. But... that's a different review. I called Brandon and explained what was going on, and even though I didn't hire them, he took time out of his day, came out and gave me some critical feedback. Brandon was professional and clear, and as he talked I knew I had hired a general handyman to do a professional's job. If it hadn't been for Brandon and his expert advice, I would have been left with a shady contractor and an unfinished excavation site. I should have hired Brandon and his crew to come out and do the job right the first time! Thanks for being a standup contractor, Brandon!
