If you're looking for someone who's honest, detail-oriented, and not just out to take your money,…read moreread this. We hired Trace to tackle a tricky concrete restoration job: about 1,500 sq ft of mottled patio from a worn stain, plus a polished concrete countertop and some cracked pool coping. Most contractors would've seen dollar signs. Not Trace. He walked us through the pros and cons of recoating and was upfront about the ongoing maintenance and future costs. I was fully prepared to spend the money, but he was clear: you might not get your value here. That level of honesty is incredibly rare. His crew showed up on time, masked off the area with precision, and treated our home like it was their own. When the initial test blast didn't remove the mottling as hoped, he didn't just push forward. Instead, he explained the risks of going more aggressive and recommended not proceeding with that part of the job--because the improvement wouldn't justify the cost. Let that sink in: he talked himself out of a big chunk of work because it wasn't right for us. When was the last time a contractor did that? Trace is the kind of professional you hope to find but rarely do. I'll update this once the rest of the work is completed, but based on integrity alone, he's already earned 5 stars.

He and his crew killed the ivy, removed the roots and provided me many options to consider for the new ground cover. The slope was replanted with Myoporum. Along the way they removed two eyesore Yucca's and added new stepping stones, decorative rock and a custom wood border to what was an old tired looking back patio area. Now it shines. Steve was great to work with and I strongly recommend his services. I am sure you will be happy you did!
