Some repairs to a home are in a category where there are plenty of resources to turn to. I found…read morethat when I discovered the cinder block foundation to my 90-year-old home was crumbling, I was stumped. The phone book's Yellow Pages used to be my research tool. Not anymore! I searched Yelp and found 3 possibiities of firms that I could consult with. Fortunatley, the first one--Hamlin Block & Concrete--came, saw, and conquered what I thought was an "impossible" job. They are masters in their field and were able to provide the expertise and quality workmanship so that one would never know my foundation was falling apart. The estimate they made was the final cost for their work. I am glad I put my trust in a company who lived up to their word.

It looked hard to do at first but, being the professionals that they are, it turned out amazing. Very reasonably priced for the type of work. Superior quality and workmanship. They answer your questions easily so that you know what the process entails and are ready for each step of the project. Five Stars for sure!!! I would give them ten stars if I could. Thank you. The new sidewalk looks great!

He did exactly what he said he was going to do, was very respectful of my property and charged me a very fair price for the amount of work he performed.

My 88 year old mother hired Ontario to seal her driveway. They did the work on a day where rain…read morewas in the forecast and sure enough it rained hard soon after they finished. My mother informed Ontario of the situation and they scheduled a day for them to redo the work. When they failed to show up she called again. The Man on the phone had "no idea" where the crew was because he had no way to contact them once they are on the road, y'know because cell phones are so rare these days. Fast forward to today, the second rescheduling of the sealing, 3 weeks later. The crew shows up and refuses to redo the driveway because if the rain had effected the driveway " the sealer would be all over the garage door".

This company is based in Hilton, NY and their phone number is (585) 615-8896 that information being…read moresaid here's my experience. I had done business with this company last year so when THEY called me to do my driveway again I thought nothing of it and agreed to the price that they quoted me. The workers arrived at my house and tell me that they can't do the job for the price they quoted me because "my driveway has never been sealed before."??? I told the guy that it was them that did the work last year and he quickly changed his tune and said "well it needs to be done several times before they can do it for the price they quoted me". You think that since they did the work they should know what to quote, needless to say since I didn't have the extra cash on hand they drove off.

I had several estimates and most wouldn't even considerer talking on the job because it was all hand work and in a VERY difficult manual labor based on this location. The owner James DeCory had some solid reassurances and fantastic suggestions that would remediate future recurrences . I'm getting long winded here but the bottom line is, he does outstanding Meticulous work. He was there faithfully every day and did it all by himself. Bottom line ! HE'S HONEST HARD WORKING DEDICATED and VERY REASONABLE! I know by singing his praises I might have to wait in line to get him back for any further remediation. After my experience with him I don't anticipate any further issues but I'll gladly wait in line for him!!

They kept saying they would and never showed.

Just really upset because i cant paint and epoxy my porch until they come and fix it! Will definitely not recommend this company.

I did not realize the work the work involved nor did I realize the dust and mess that it would create. He is very upfront and walked me through each phase and again embraced me for the dust that would travel through out the house even with the plastic tarps taped up to capture it all. The concrete dust was crazy and can't thank Joe and his team for doing an amazing job with the 4 days they were down there. From start to finish they were excellent and you can tell they were seasoned masonry tradesmen and new there stuff. They came highly recommended to us from a family friend and seeing their work on their website which is why we called. Thank you Joe and thanks for an awesome crew that did such a great job in our house. Thanks again, Brian
