Built a beautiful faux stone counter and sink for my laundry , approximately 5 ft long

I really can't say enough good things about this company.  They are totally professional and treat your home with great care.  They work with you, in their show room as well as in your home to find out what look works best for you.  Once you decide on what you want, they will do a portion of a room and let you look at a few days.  They will tear it out or tweak it or re-do it, or whatever until you get it the way you want it.  Once you get to that point the job goes quickly and the results are amazing. We had most of our home done by this group and have only had to call them back for one minor defect.
  
It's been a year since the installation of two rooms of the new floor.  It's great!  You don't have to deal with grout, but you do have to be a little careful about scuffs.  Since you can only clean the surface with water, it takes quite a bit of effort to get scuffs out. Environmental Management will come out and professionally clean the floor every 6 to 12 months, if you want.  We have not had to have them do that yet, but it's about time.  Mainly in the high traffic areas of the kitchen and entry hall.  Tucson dirt does accumulate in the texture sweeps (in our case a sandstone look), and it can require some effort with a soft brush to remove most of it.

That's the little stuff.  What you probably want to know is what this company like to work with. Let me tell you about our family room.  The existing floor consisted of concrete pavers.  We had no idea what was underneath them, if anything, and they were big, 30lb. blocks.  We didn't want EM to remove them because there might just be dirt underneath, in which case we would have to pour a concrete slab in order to have EM put an overlay on top of it.  They warned us that if they put the concrete overlay over the pavers, we would see "ghosting" of the grout lines between the old pavers.  Burying them wouldn't necessarily get rid of them.  They gave us good advice but we finally convinced them to try it with a new product that they had never used before.  We ended up with 600 ft. of completed concrete overlay which was beautiful until the sunlight shone across it revealing virtually every joint line in the now buried pavers.  Long story short, EM ripped out every inch of their completed work; we removed the pavers finding dirt underneath.  We hired a contractor to pour a concrete slab and a month later Environmental Management once again prepped, applied and completed a beautiful concrete overlay floor.  The price:  We paid EM to put the first overlay in and that was it.  They tore it out and hauled it off. After waiting several months for us to get the pavers out and the concrete pad in, they came back and installed a brand new concrete overlay floor and charged us nothing for all 600 square feet of their trouble.

I would imagine that they would not always be able to stand behind a job where they had advised the homeowner that the completed job might have significant problems, but in this case they did - and without any arguments or threats.  Environmental Management is an excellent example of a small business that will survive this treacherous economy.  Great product, great craftsmanship and unimpeachable integrity.

Dallas came to give us an estimate and preview the work. He helped us pick a color and made recommendations on the colors that would work best for the colors of our home. Nick and James came out to do the work exactly on schedule. They completed the work in a day. We had them apply additional coats of stain and texturing until we were happy with the outcome. They did this without question and stayed late into the afternoon until we were satisfied. A couple of days later the sidewalk still looked a little light to us and they came out the next day and applied additional coats until we were happy.
This was a superb experience. They did excellent work and were a dream to work with. They really bent over backwards to make us happy with the job and I can't recommend them highly enough. If I ever have another job like this or anyone is looking for a recommendation I will recommend Environmental Management in a second.

It turned out very nice and I was very pleased. They were very professional. I would specify that the men who came in here were very clean and they cleaned up after themselves well. They were very polite and I didn't hear any kind of language coming out while they working in the backyard. They were professional and they did a very professional job. When I called their office I got a return call right away. I really liked them, they were good people.

THEY ARE A VERY FRIENDLY BUSINESS. I REALLY LIKE THE FACT THAT EVERY TIME THEY COME TO MY HOUSE THEY SEND THE SAME GUY. TO ME THAT IS A VERY THOUGHTFUL THING. THE GUY THAT COMES IS VERY HARDWORKING AND GETS THE JOB DONE.
