Tim (the father) came to our house showed us many options to fit our budget. He understood our vision and delivered the perfect design for our new backyard with very high quality materials and attention to detail. Matthew (the son) and his crew were so respectful and hard working. They paid so much attention to details and worked long hours in order to get everything completed in time for a special occasion I was having. Thank you Tim & Matthew for transforming our embarrassing back yard into a relaxing private sanctuary on a tight budget.

Beware - Poor Drainage Work & No Follow-Through Family…read morebusiness (Matt, Sheila, and Tim). I hired them to pour concrete- All work to be pitched properly for proper water drainage- exactly what our contract stated. Instead, the concrete on one side was pitched toward my house, causing water to come inside. Matt promised twice to come look at it, but was a no-show both times. When I first confronted him about ghosting me, he later called ranting about how busy he was, implying he didn't have time for me. He even said it wasn't his fault my house sits low--yet still took the job (and my payment) without hesitation. This company used to be T/S Concrete with terrible reviews -- the name change doesn't seem to have changed the service. The work looks nice and prices are competitive, but what good is that if it damages your home? If you decide to hire, DO NOT make final payment until you confirm proper drainage. Best of luck.

She got a notice from the village inspector to clean it up else face finds. We called Jesus and his team came, divided and conquered! They worked long and hard for several days to break up and carried away all debris. It was ALLOT of work and his crew worked tirelessly to clean up the property. They did such a fabulous job that we passed inspection with flying colors. I just want to recognize Jesus and his team for all their hardwork and doing a thorough job. The attached pictures showed all the work that was performed. I highly recommend Powerhorse Construction LLC to everyone! You can trust Jesus and his crew to get the job done right!

I don't know what happened to my original review, but I will try to reconstruct it here…read more The company is amazing. They know concrete work inside and out. I contacted them to remove my existing front walkway and replace it with a grander one. They IMMEDIATELY suggested and added to the job, drilling rebars into the existing porch so that the new walkway wouldn't sink (like the old one did). Everything was done efficiently, professionally, and on time. I obtained a few other quotes for the job and this company was the one that submitted a reasonable quote, which I accepted. I wholeheartedly recommend this company for your concrete needs.

I'm very disappointed with my experience with this company. I felt like the salesman who came out…read morerecommended a significant amount of work that was unnecessary, and the repair they ultimately offered was extremely overpriced in my opinion. The price they quoted me was around $3,000, and I've included some pictures below. What concerns me most is the lack of trust I now have in their recommendations. I previously hired this company to do tuckpointing work for me. About three years later, I contacted them about touching up a few areas, and I was told the work was already in bad shape. When I reminded them that they were the ones who had performed the original work, the response was essentially, "Oh, we can just repair these couple of bricks. It's not a big deal." After that experience, and now being presented with what I believe is an unnecessarily expensive repair, I simply don't feel comfortable doing business with this company anymore. When you hire a company and spend good money on their work, you expect fair pricing, honest recommendations, and quality workmanship. Unfortunately, that's not the experience I had.

Last week I had some work done to correct a problem with our cinder block foundation under an…read moreaddition to the house. It was completed by Jorge and his crew, and the end result was great. To further explain, I had called four different contractors, requesting an estimate on this work. I had received quotes from several of them and opinions about what needed to be done. In both cases, there were a variety of answers, given as well as explanations as to what needed to be done, and the prices to do the work. One of the first people I called was Jorge Ramirez who is the owner of Ramirez Masonry LLC. We spoke on the phone several times, and he was very patient, knowledgeable, helpful and responsive as I asked him about the information I was given from the other contractors. He initially came out and thoroughly assessed the work that needed to be done, and after additional discussion came out a second time to further survey the job site. Both of these visits were at no cost to me and the second time he came he also brought along one of his employees to assist him with some of the necessary digging to be certain the extent of work that needed to be done. The other contractors that came basically just glanced at it and made assumptions of what needed to be done without thoroughly checking over the cinder block problems. Although Jorge was the more expensive, he also was willing to work with me on the price and did agree to lower it but showed me every step he would be taking to correct this problem so it would be done the right way the first time and should last for years to come, due to the added reinforcement, he was adding . As I mentioned, he was very thorough and very knowledgeable. He not only supervised the work that was being done, but he also did some of the work himself, and it was completed the same day they started it. The completed job looks wonderful, and he also offered to take pictures from start to finish showing the before, the during and the after so that I could show the future buyer of the house exactly what was done. Per my request, he provided me several names and phone numbers of people he had worked for in the past, and they were extremely happy with him and glad to share a recommendation with me. One gentleman even explained he had some work done here by Jorge and he was so pleased with the work that he also had him do some work in his second home in Arizona. That told me a lot about the quality of work as well as the professionalism I'd be receiving if I hired Jorge. BLOT - I do believe if you hire Jorge, he will be honest with you and explain everything he's going to do and why which will show you how knowledgeable he is. If necessary, he will accept your calls with any questions and will also return to the site before the work is done, If it is necessary to be certain, he completely understands what is needed and what it will take to accomplish the job and be certain it is done in a timely manner and is to your specifications. I guess it's easy to see that I feel very confident with Jorge and his company and will encourage anyone to hire him. As a sidenote, I would mention that there was previously one negative commenTy pn his FB page. I did ask him about that and once I heard the entire situation and was able to learn what truly happened and why there was a negative review, I could see that he did everything he could to try to make things right but that particular customer was beyond any negotiating and per another neighbor of the complainant, it was learned, this is the way that person operates by taking advantage of several businesses. I think that's commendable that someone is willing to give their side of the story If there is some negativity or a complaint, and it's unfortunate that people do that however it does happen. 5 stars!!!
