Then they came in, destroyed the whole old steps in one day, and build a whole new frame for them out of concrete (not sand), cinderblock, and cinder bricks. Then we can go to Value: The estimate for the work was incredibly reasonable for 5 days worth of work for 3 people. So much precision in the joints, in the alignment of the blue stone, and in the stairs. Our back steps get A LOT of use, and there is a water\ice leak over them that causes a lot of trouble. The new steps were re-designed to shed water so that this problem is rare. I am so happy with them!

I selected Eugene over other competitive bids, preferring someone local. Although timely to make…read morean estimate, after my acceptance, he never specified when he would get to the job (chimney repair), then answered emails requesting a schedule with the excuse he had other jobs ahead of this. As it got colder, I urged him that the job should be complete before getting colder. No word in months. Daly left my work to further deteriorate over the winter. I sealed the bricks myself , and will haved to hire someone reliable next spring to do the proper repair.

Frank is so great and easy to work with. Hired him for a very large project (windows, siding,…read moreroofing and exterior doors). I had the most positive experience with Frank. He is reasonably priced, easy to communicate with and attentive to detail and time restrictions. We hired Frank and his team again this year to add a gas fireplace vent outside. The work is top notch. He listens to everything we want and always executes it perfectly. He will always communicate to make sure we are on the same page and will adjust so we are 100% satisfied. I would hire Frank again and again and recommend you to do the same! Thank you Frank and Team!

Worst contractor I've ever hired. So many red flags telling me early on that these folks were not…read moreprofessional that I should have listened to. In the end, they took about 18 months to complete the job, were over budget, and did a terrible ob on multiple things. They may be okay for simple, quick projects, but do not, I repeat do not, have them do anything regarding tiling or grout. Terrible job done by teenagers (maybe twentyish) who clearly didn't know what they were doing and had no oversight by the owner, Mark.
