They were very professional, patient, zero pressure, and they kept me informed of changes due to unpredictable weather.

Do yourself a favor and give them a chance to give you an estimate and your decision to use them will be an easy one.

I had a large front porch aggregate floor replaced with brick but it was a much bigger project than they later admitted they usually do. This caused me a lot of frustrations: 1) They didn't spend much time reviewing project. They didn't give me a written quote. 2) Once the front porch was opened up more tuck pointing & fill was needed to fill the opening so they wanted $3000 more than verbal quote they gave me to continue work. 3) Told me no subs used when in-fact actual brick layer was a subcontractor. 4) I personally rejected some of the brick they got from Shade & Wise but they didn't like it and bricklayer slipped some in on the job when I wasn't looking. 5) They chipped off a large corner of base of column holding roof up and wouldn't fix it - so I have to fix myself. 6) Said they will guarantee their work (nothing in writing) but in 15 years will they be around and remember? In summary my experience with ProForce wasn't a walk in the park as too many unknowns they should have foreseen as they are the experts - not me. Michael appeared vocally to be concerned about my disappointments of the chipped base corner but didn't resolve or correct. Throughout the project I had to be at site to figure out what was going on and make sure I was getting a quality job. My suggestion is don't assume anything if you hire them and don't be timid or hesitant in getting your questions answered. It's your money and your house.

His crew works HARD. I was really impressed with their professionalism and skill. Juan was always available and provided great feedback for any questions I had and I trusted his judgement with great results. I told him my driveway looked so good I needed a nicer house to go with it. They've done several driveways in the neighborhood and when I talked to the owners about their experience with the company they only had good things to say. I will be calling them again in the future for additional work around my house. Highly recommend.

July 15, 2024 If you are looking for a business where the…read morecustomer is not right, the owner has no patience and no interest in your feedback, and quality is not a concern, Custom Concrete & Masonry is the business for you. We know this is wordy, but worth the read and will save you some money, we promise. On June 7th and 8th, we hired Custom Concrete & Masonry to replace our stamped concrete sidewalk which was 26 years old and had started to crack. We reviewed photos on the Facebook page, looked at photos the owner Julio sent, and after receiving several quotes, hired him. Demo went as expected. The forms for the new sidewalk were placed and approved by us. The concrete truck was several hours late. As the sidewalk was poured, we noticed that there were very noticeable lines being placed through the concrete. We asked Julio about the lines, and he explained they were expansion joints and were necessary. On three separate occasions that day, and even during the stamping process (where the design is put into the concrete), we voiced concern that these giant lines detracted from the look of the sidewalk and design. Julio assured us that once he was finished, we would barely notice them. When they left our home 12 hours later, we sat on our porch and stared at our new $4,000 sidewalk agreeing that we hated it. We called Julio and for the 4th time, explained we were not happy. He said once he placed the seal on it, we would not notice the lines as much. He said the expansion joints were necessary and he could do nothing about the lines. Even when I had asked earlier if there was a way to incorporate the expansion joints in a less visible manner, he said no in a very condescending manner. He kept saying that we didn't understand the need for expansion joints. Which we assured him we did. It is worth mentioning at this point that my husband is an engineer. He understands structure and stability. The following morning, the crew showed up to finalize cleaning and to seal. This did not include removal of cigarette butts from our yard and driveway. We attempted to have another discussion with Julio in a very adult, mature fashion. All he kept saying was that he had no patience for this and wanted his money so he could leave. After trying to have a proactive conversation for 10 minutes, we gave up. We paid this man for something we hated. Our concerns fell on deaf ears. It goes without saying that the seal did not enhance the look. We have a lot of foot traffic at our home. Many people were shocked by how ugly the sidewalk was and the 4" drop left on the edge was hazardous to say the least. Your sidewalk is one of the first impressions people have of your home and reflects on you and your home. My husband and I mutually agreed this was not something we could live with for another 20 plus years. We started looking for a company who would do the sidewalk in a way we would love. Since we are not concrete experts, our first question was about these lines that had been placed throughout the stamped design. Yes, we understand the need for expansion joints. But do they need to interfere with the beauty of the sidewalk? Enter Castaneda Concrete. We were told immediately by Axel that the expansion joints should have been incorporated into the design. And that the drop that was left would not be something he would consider acceptable. A leap of faith. We paid the money again to receive a product we love, receive compliments on, and we felt heard and important. We think you will agree when you view the photos that the first job was not anywhere close to the quality of the second job. Save yourselves a couple of thousand dollars and hire the right company (we recommend Castaneda Concrete unequivocally). It is not Custom Concrete & Masonry. And Julio, as I told you, maybe give up owning a business. It is no place for a man without patience. Or a man who does not care what his customers wishes are.

The first thing I want to say is that Cody's crew work like it is their own home. Very thoughtful, professional, precise. The result looks beautiful, and we have hired them to do other projects.

Thank you to Cody, Gabriel, and crew. I look forward to seeing you soon.

Toby and his team identified the problems and performed a like-new repair on all areas. They also replaced a cedar fence and added a gate. The work was very professional and the house looks like new. They even went above and beyond what was contracted to do it correctly. I would recommend Childers Services to anyone looking for high-quality home repair.

I interviewed Green Dreams along with 2 other landscapers a year ago. The owner of Green Dreams…read moreasked me how he could deliver excellent service. My answer was, "if your crew damages any parts of my property, then I expect you to fix it. I don't want to come home and discover something is broken and the crew didn't bother to take responsibility". The owner was ok with that so we engaged in a service contract. I've had several problems this past year including weeds in my lawn and in my beds, a broken landscaping light from a tractor running it over, and broken sprinkler piping from when aeration occurred. I had to call to get these issues resolved. Not good. My service contract says that weeding is part of my service. I never saw any of the crew address weed issues on my property (until I called them out on it). My contract also says that they would prune my shrubs/trees. Being that all my landscaping was all brand new, I didn't need any pruning... but still was I was paying for a service I wasn't getting. My contract also said I could expect to have my lawn mowed about once per week. They mowed about half that amount. So, essentially I paid $280 per month EVERY month whether they worked or not. Considering I haven't seen them from Sept to April, it's not a good deal. I'll update this review next season if my landscaping looks the way it should if I renew.
