Since in meeting Nick and getting a price, my wife and I took a liking to him, I wanted to get an idea whether these Yelp reviews were representative of Dentico's work. I asked Nick for a customer list, and I called several people. All were very happy with Dentico's work, and several said that Dentico's was recommended by a neighbor. I decided to contract with Dentico's. The job was done expertly, and the results are beautiful. His workers were friendly and accommodating. I am happy to recommend Dentico's to my neighbors or anyone who reads this.

His help was fantastic and very professional. Nick rechecked my numbers on how much concrete that I needed and my numbers were way off.

It was an A+ interaction and he showed up when he said he was going to. He's a great guy and easy to talk to.

I looked around for a masonry company which there are not that many in this area I did get a couple of quotes from roofing companies that said they had a Masonry person on staff, but then I saw this company mentioned on next-door. I checked out their reviews on the BBB and a few others that they had online and decided to go with them, I must say they were very good. They arrived at 8 AM worked consistently until 4 PM and only took a short break for lunch. They remove of the bad bricks, replace them and put a protective coat on all of the brick. I highly recommend this company.

Before I even get into the experience, I want to start by saying I would highly recommend JMK…read morecontracting.Our house was built in the 1800s and as a result we need to do a lot of work and have used many different contractors in the past. This was one of the best experiences I've ever had with a contractor. First, when I called for an estimate John actually called back. As I'm sure many of you know you make calls looking to get an estimate for work and you don't even receive the courtesy of a call back. That's not the case with John. After we receive the estimate we decided we wanted to go with JMK after reading the fantastic reviews. However, we did not have the funds and did not want to pay an additional charge to put the deposit on my credit card. When I reached out to John and explained the situation he put me on the schedule in good faith until I sent in the deposit. The work started on the day we were told it would start and ended on the day we were told it would end. Partway through the work I realized that John and I may have had a communication error with what I wanted and what he thought I wanted and when we discussed it he immediately corrected and promptly addressed my concerns. In all this was the best experience I've had with a contractor.

7 weeks for 4 steps--poor communication and failed inspections…read moreDo I have steps? Yes. That is the only reason this isn't a 1 star review. We hired this company to remove our old, broken concrete front steps and pour new ones. While the initial communication was great, it became incredibly un-dependable and hard to come by as the job progressed. Ultimately, it took 7 weeks to complete a 4-step project due to poor craftsmanship and multiple delays. The issues began when the initial pour completely failed inspection. The step measurements were wildly inconsistent--the top step had a 4-inch rise, while the others varied from 7.5 to 8.5 inches from step to step, and it sloped from left to right. When I brought this up, the contractor was defensive, insisting that everything they poured was "up to code" and there was nothing wrong with them. However, they later admitted the mold had been stepped on by the crew. After several communication gaps, missed timelines, and a partial refund discussion, the city inspector officially failed the steps on May 4th, stating they required a complete tear-out and replace due to the safety and rise inconsistencies. The second round of demolition and pouring took another three weeks. Throughout this entire process, I was never notified in advance when plans changed or when the crew would show up. I had to actively chase the contractor for updates just to find out when people would be at my house. While the second set of steps finally passed inspection, they still have visible flaws. If you are looking for clear communication, reliable timelines, and a job done right the first time, I would look elsewhere.
