North Shore Aggregate

Awesome, very professional and timely. They did a great job and tons of compliments from neighbors on how good it looks. Thanks

Didn't bother to call me back.

Team showed up on dates promised and completed work.  North Shore Aggregate  answered all my questions before they started work as well as during.  They never shied away from a question.  My driveway looks great.

Happy with results

They were very efficient, attentive. We aren't quite finished but will need to wait until Spring. This style of concrete is perfect for people who want to avoid the 'white look' of modern concrete. It is really pretty and several people stopped by to find out 'who did it'. The pricing was less than many quotes for plain white concrete we had received. 
Re stoops-...if you are changing the layout...watch out!
We did not anticipate when we redid our stoop in a different direction' that the old steps would leave a significant trace on the side of the building, so we would have designed differently if we had known. Perhaps this should have been obvious and/or is not always the case, so I  don't blame the contractors for this. If you are redoing a stoop and having stairs run a different direction, be forewarned....prepare to either extend your stoop out over where the steps had been or design an alternative cover (we are going to put in a large planter)

Since they had received good reviews on the list, I called North Shore Aggregate for an estimate.  Shortly afterwards, John contacted me and arranged a date and time .  He arrived on time, viewed the project , took measurements and explained what should be done.  The next day I had a full proposal in my email box.  I accepted it and returned it with a deposit.  Received an email a few days later, stating they had received the signed proposal and check.  And gave me a tentative date.  Due to the weather,John advised me, my work was backed up by a week.  He called several days in advance to schedule the work days.  In Cary, the building department requires an inspection before and after they pour the concrete.  I was pleased this morning when the building inspector passed the apron and patio and told me he did good work.

We used North Shore to replace and resurface our driveway, front walk, porch and rear walk and patio 20 years ago and decided to use them again when it was time to redo some of the same areas. North Shore concrete had held up well, but we had some serious settling issues (which is very common in our neighborhood). North Shore suggested only replacing some sections of the concrete, which would reduce the total cost, and assured us that they could match the existing 20-year-old aggregate surface. Our suppliers needed to replace all the concrete.

While the work was being done, North Shore was very professional, answered all our questions and kept us informed of what was happening. They also addresses some issues that came up and made sure we were happy with the finished product.

We are very happy with the end result and would use North Shore again.

I am a landscape designer and designed the new driveway and sidewalk. I needed someone to install it for my clients and am very happy with the outcome. He was able to do it earlier than he estimated. I had a time issue and then he had a cancellation, and it worked out great. They needed to take out more material than estimated, so we had a little uptick in price, but not too bad.

Work began promptly on the promised date and proceeded according to the planned schedule. The work was completed on-time, finishing the project within 4 days of the start. The patio and driveway look very good. I plan to use North Shore Aggregate for future work.

We were thrilled with the work done by North Shore Aggregate.  We were quoted a completely fair price, and felt the quality of the work was outstanding.  Everyone was punctual, courteous and professional.  We had a small, city patio that was completely covered in wood chips, and a fence surrounded by half-dead evergreens.  The crew removed the  existing "backyard," and replaced it with beautiful aggregate.  Upon noticing we had a baby in the house, one crew member, Andrew, even suggested we put our son's handprint into the patio!  The job was done on time, and exceeded our expectations. We would highly recommend this company to anyone.

John and everyone who worked on this project were dedicated, hard working on  time professionals. The work was completed on schedule, for the estimated price and they even made sure I was pleased with the results! I would and I have reccomended Northshore Aggregate!!!

I had asked for an estimate on repairing concrete steps on our front porch. The company responded to my email quickly but warned that their minimum charge for a job is $1400. They explained that this is partially because the ready-mix concrete companies require them to buy an entire truckload of concrete and they do not share truckloads between small jobs. They also warned me that I would have to schedule my job at least eight weeks in advance. I appreciated their responsiveness and honesty but I did not use them because the minimum charge was higher than I could afford to pay.

In a few words, it went great.  John and his crew did the work about 5 years ago, and it still looks terrific.

It was good and easy to get a quote from them. They were professional and the price was reasonable. One option was to remove concrete from our doorstep and little walkway, remove an asphalt driveway and replace it with a concrete driveway and expand it for a second driveway.

John was very professional and understood what was need to complete our small patio job.  We have been in the home for 10 years and finally made the decision to go with concrete rather than paver or a deck.  John came out and listened to what we wanted and came up with a plan.  He noticed that our backyard may not have the best drainage so he explained what he would need to do with the porch so it would properly drain.  
He also found an issue with the steps and the height and that with the porch it would not be within code.  His suggestion was to make the porch the same  height as the last step.  This way the rise of the step would not be an issue.  We agreed.  Our neighbors built a porch a week after ours was installed and they have the same attention to detail and the porch needed to be fixed a couple of time prior to completion.  Glad we had someone who knew what were doing as we never had an issue with inspections.
The porch was completed and it looks great cannot wait until next summer when we can use it all season long.
Thanks for the great job.

They never did the job

There was very good communication with the owner about when they would come for the estimate and when they would do each phase of the work.  I had one issue that I wanted taken care of and they were totally responsive.  The two patios look wonderful and appear to be well-constructed.

They were absolutely on time and professional. Andrew was great. He made us comfortable. All the workers were friendly. I would use them in the future.

They were very professional and answered all of our initial questions promptly.
The workers did put a hole in our siding with a pick ax and performed a slipshod caulking job around the new stoop, but they did reduce our price due to their errors. They admitted their mistakes and apologized.
The stoop, itself, is very nice.
