One area was not quite finished , I took a picture and e mailed a note - they responded right away and came back to complete
to my satisfaction.
Easy to keep in touch by email too
Tim is courteous, professional, able to be both supportive of my ideas and let me know that there are options he thinks are superior without making me feel poorly. He is very personable and easy to talk with.
The patio area is about 12x25 ft. The area by the backdoor is about 6x8 ft. I had originally wanted concrete with bluestone flagstones embedded in it for the patio and the area by the backdoor. He, and the other people I talked with, wasn't very keen on using concrete. He suggested embedding the flagstones in polymeric sand, which is one of the newer technolgies; it is frequently used with pavers, but I hadn't had anyone suggest using it with the flagstones before Tim. He also suggested adding a and quot;seat walland quot; to define the space of the patio and give something for people to sit on. I had wanted to just re-set the supporting poles, maybe replace them, for the pergola and trust that if they were properly aligned it would look good. Tim suggested just replacing it with new wood as it wouldn't be that expensive. It was an educational and productive discussion.
He left and a few days later sent me email with a proposed drawing of what the patio area would look like, along with photos of some of the material options (pavers and flagstones). I sent him some photos of flagstones my wife and I had spotted while we were doing our preparatory homework for this job. He sent me a written estimate a day or two later.
It took another week for the other bidders to get their estimates to me so I could see which to choose. Tim's was the lowest cost for what I was looking for (plain concrete was surprisingly cheap).
After I accepted his bid, he came down to finalize the flagstone to use (so another trip down from Bloomington). He brought several samples and seemed open to going to the stoneyard in Mahomet if I didn't like his stone; in the end his was perfectly fine so I went with it.
He set a time to start the project about 4 weeks out. He checked back in a couple days before to confirm everything was still on schedule. He and his 2 crew members showed up on time. They were all courteous, professional and worked hard. They stayed over in Champaign 2 nights to maximize the work time. They left the yard clean at the end of the day. I work at home and they were very tolerant of me coming down and observing closely; they also asked for my input when there were choices to be made, such as how to trim/shape the ends of the beams of the pergola.
The job took 1 day longer than planned on account of the set of flagstones needing more cutting to make them fill the space nicely.
When they were done the backyard looked transformed. It was a thing of beauty. I couldn't be happier.
A few days after it was done I noticed that some of the polymeric sand was no longer filling the gaps as fully as it had; I called Tim and he came down the next day and filled all the holes in. Very excellent service.
