The paver walkway installation we received from NoVA Paving was done badly and will likely need to…read morebe replaced within a couple years. Unfortunately, this is the worst final product that we have experienced in our years of dealing with various home contractors. We hired NoVA Paving to replace our crumbling slate walkway with new pavers. We have undergone many home improvement projects over the years and have had mostly good experiences, but this was anything but. Instead of taking the proper time and effort to establish a deeper foundation, NoVA Paving used our existing, very shallow foundation. This left the pavers lifted from the adjacent driveway, sidewalk and grass. To keep it in place they placed slipshod concrete wherever it would have otherwise immediately crumbled. After the job, they told us that using the existing foundation "saved us money" and that we have no issue. As seen in pictures: * Multiple areas of pavers coming loose after the installation. * The entirety of some pavers are exposed with hollow spaces underneath. * Because they never established a proper foundation to even out the pavers with the sidewalk, they had to dump a slab of concrete where pavers should have been placed. The worst part was that they did not even tell us about the concrete until AFTER the job was completed. * Concrete securing the pavers in other areas has a terrible aesthetic. * We were charged $700 extra to haul away the old slate - which was not discussed beforehand or included in quote. When we told Mark about the problems, we got the run around for a month before they finally sent a foreman out to investigate. This was when we were told that there was nothing that could be done about the shallow foundation without a complete re-do of the entire job. We then asked for a partial refund and were told by Nova Paving to just take some dirt and put it up against the sides of the pavers, and that we did not have an issue.

These guys replaced my driveway last Winter, and large parts of it are already failing. I asked…read morethem to fix it under their 1-year warranty and they refused, citing "base failure" as something that is not covered under their warranty. My fault for not reviewing the warranty more carefully and making them remove base failure. But I warn anyone who does business with these guys that they are do not do high quality work, nor do they stand by their work. If you do decide to work with them, read their warranty very carefully. The warranty is filled with typos and contradictions; best to make sure you understand everything that is in the warranty if you decide to work with these guys, and don't let them put broad, non-descript exclusions in there such as "base failure". I posted some photos below of their shoddy work. This work was done less than 9 months ago. Even if you have to pay a bit more for another contractor, it is worth it based on my experience. Poor work and zero accountability - not a good combo!!

Randals Masonry Restoration did a fantastic job restoring the brick stoop in from of my townhouse…read more I had been making small repairs to it over the years, but this last winter left the stoop in very bad shape -- beyond anything I could handle myself. Dealing with Randy was pleasant and easy, the price was fair, and the work was scheduled more quickly than I could have hoped. The 3-man team chipped out all the old mortar, removed and replaced damaged cement underlayment, moved and relaid all the edge bricks and put in new mortar between the bricks -- all in one day. They came back the next day and did a great acid wash. The stoop looks brand new. I couldn't be happier and highly recommend Randy and his highly professional team.

Several masonry companies had quoted me ridiculous prices and insisted that the veneer stone would have to be replaced. Mr. Avelar came out to quote the job and was positive that he could get off the efflorescence and would also repair the flagstone. He also quoted me less than half of what the other masonry companies quoted me. He did the job efficiently and in under two days. He removed the efflorescence completely, thereby avoiding the extra cost of replacing the veneer. I highly recommend Avellan Masonry LLC for any stonework that you require.

This was my first engagement with Olive Branch Service LLC. My neighbor recommended them based on…read moretheir excellent concrete work on her parking pad. I bought a rowhouse with a 1 car garage and gravel parking pad. The garage had quite a bit of deferred maintenance over the decade or so since it was built. The roof leaked. There was cracked plastic siding, some wood rot to the underlying plywood, and rotting exterior trim. The concrete garage floor was badly cracked and poorly repaired, allowing water in during the winter that would froze on the garage floor. Olive Branch did an excellent job removing and replacing the roof with upgraded architectural shingles. They replaced rotten plywood and trim, installed a vapor barrier, then re-sided the garage with upgraded Hardiplank siding. The concrete floor was demoed, removed and hauled off, then the garage floor and gravel parking pad were replaced with high-strength cement. A new french drain along the garage door keeps the rain out. The estimate was clear, accurate, and reasonable. The service was spot-on. Work crews showed up on time and didn't leave a mess. Tim oversaw all the work and ensured the job went as planned. He made sure all those minor hiccups that happen in every job were resolved to my satisfaction. I'm very pleased with the outcome and will definitely use Olive Branch again for my next exterior project.

5-Star Review - Excellent Asphalt & Paver Driveway Installation…read more We had our asphalt driveway and surrounding paver trim completed in mid-April, and now that it's fully cured, I can confidently say the work was top-notch. The surface is smooth, evenly compacted, and blends beautifully with our landscaping. The clean transition between the asphalt and the paver border really elevates the curb appeal of our home. There are no signs of dips, cracks, or uneven areas, and drainage has been working perfectly--even after recent rain. The crew was professional, punctual, and detail-oriented from start to finish. Thank you Bernard and his crews for a job well done. We're very happy with the results and wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for a quality driveway installation.

Initially, the owner was very responsive and accommodating throughout the sales process. However, once issues arose, my experience changed significantly. Rather than addressing my concerns directly, I encountered delays, excuses, and a lack of accountability. What is most disappointing is that I genuinely believed I was working with a reputable company. Within just a few months, my driveway began showing signs of erosion and deterioration that I would not expect from a newly completed project. Despite raising these concerns, I was unable to get a satisfactory resolution. Based on my experience, I would recommend that potential customers proceed with caution and carefully review all warranties, expectations, and terms before hiring this company. Now I'm pretty much gonna be paying double the price for another company to come out and fix your problem. So dishonest.
