Great service for a great price. Really profesional and helpful. I really recommend PURUS POOL SERVICE.
"Not much to say, everything was just perfect for me. Since they appeared to the end of project guys were organized and they knew what to do. Owner of business - Wojtek is really good with communication and ready to help and advise everything you need about your project."
"My first experience with Pavercare told me that we would be life long customers! We have a 1,200 square foot patio of concreate with brick insets. Prior contractors we had used didn't do any better than we had on our own using bleach and our powerwasher. The gentleman that arrived, Gaspar, was punctual, kind, and professional. Not only did he perform the service but also pulled out weeds along our patio that I hadn't had a chance to get to. Our patio never looked better... he literally made the concrete and brick look new! Not only did he do the cleaning, but also set our patio back up (we had moved our grill, table, chairs out of his way)! Talk about service above and beyond! The final touch was that he closed our gate to our backyard when he left... might not seem like much, but you'd be surprised how many contractors just leave and don't bother to close a gate...
The price was literally half of what we had been charged by other so-called concrete professionals. I will definitely use Pavercare again and again!
"I would like to say that we would use GF Company in the future. The Positive: The sales representative, Ken Jr., was astounding. His knowledge of his field was excellent and I enjoyed talking with him. He was also very thorough with his estimate and writing down in great detail what we wanted to have done. I hope we get him as our sales representative when it is time to do our roof or our windows. The work was done exactly as Ken Jr. had written on the estimate. For the most part the work matches the current look of the shed and it has already filled the water barrel. The Negatives: It was difficult to communicate with GF Company. We had originally received a quote from Rick a year before the work was done and we contacted GF Company many times to speak with him about getting the work done, but none of our phone calls were returned. Finally we asked for someone new and we got Ken Jr. sent to us. After we paid our half-down deposit, we were told that we would get a call in about three weeks to find a date for the work to be done. After about 5 weeks we tried contacting GF Company. One phone call had us speaking with a lady on the phone who said that someone would call us back soon, but that never happened. We never received a call to tell us when the work would be done as we wanted to have someone home to make sure things were done to our specifications. Several days after our phone call was not returned, we received a text message from our neighbor telling us that someone was doing work on our property, but my wife and I were both at work and by time we got home the work was done. Since Ken Jr. did such a great job with writing down what we wanted, we did not have any issues with what was done. It appears that one of the items created on site for our downspout on the shed was likely spray painted on site. The paint job has already faded, but we can find some paint to paint it again. Overall, it sounds like we had a bad experience, but we did not. The work that was done was done well and the sales representative we worked with was very knowledgeable. We would use GF Company again and recommend them, but encourage folks to have patience with communication. "
"The project turned out great! Progressive Restoration was awesome to work with. They were decisive, efficient, and skilled. Marc was super responsive, and the pricing for the job was more than fair. They will be our 1st call for any future carpentry work that comes up at our house. Highly recommend!"
"They seem pretty good from the work being done as expected, no surprises. They charge a little bit high on the price. I pay them monthly. The service could be better."
"I called to set up an appointment for someone to come out and give me a quote for siding and roofing for the garage, and siding for the home. Anna answered and took all my info. She had no idea where I was located, or any of the other suburbs I mentioned that where around. In a day and age where you can do a Goggle search for anything, I was surprised she was so baffled on where I lived. She was not sure if they serviced my area or not, and said she will need to talk to Mr. Hansen and that she will call me back. I expected a call the same day. Nope. She called the next day saying she wanted to set up the appointment for Mr. Hansen to come out. She never acknowledge if they will serviced my area or not. The date she wanted to set up I was not available. Due to how far I work, I couldn't do afternoon appointments either. I told her I would be available next Wednesday morning. She set up appointment from 10am-11am for that Wednesday. Then she commented on how far the drive would be. It worried me when Anna mentioned that it was long drive. I felt like I was inconveniencing them because I lived farther away. This is where I started getting bad vibes. Anna then processed to tell me since it was all exterior work, if Mr. Hansen could come when I was not there and take pictures and talk over the phone about project. I told I was flexible and if they wanted to do that it was fine. She then told me that she will call back and let me know if Mr. Hansen was going to do that or come to the appointment. Needless to say, I never got a phone call back. Wednesday comes by and Anna calls me and leaves a message that Mr. Hansen can't make it out due to a roof emergency. I had feeling they wouldn't come since I never got a phone call confirming the appointment. Regardless if it was true or not, I can't say, it just seems that they really don't do too much work out of the city, which is fine and understandable, but be upfront and tell me, "We don't service your area." Please call me back when you say you will. That's all I ask. I am in the service business too, so I tend to be more forgiving than most customer but I am tired of companies not communicating properly. They don't deserve an F, but for me it is straight C's. Fair. Most people are not looking for Fair service... I can't comment on their workmanship. I never made it that far."
Sand is a common sublayer for hardscape features like driveways, paver patios, and more. Most projects that involve sand require a 1-inch layer to promote evenness, drainage, and weight distribution. For further drainage, most projects have a 6-inch minimum layer of gravel beneath the sand.
You can concrete can be done when it’s wet or dry. However, it’s safer when wet, as harmful dust and chemicals are present. Sanding it when dry is faster, but you’ll agitate more dust and chemicals, meaning you’ll need to be more careful.
There are two ways sandblasting could be dangerous: improper use of the equipment so that the stream touches your skin, and air particles created during the sandblasting process. While the first is easier to avoid and fairly obvious, the second has the potential to be more serious and is much more difficult to understand. This is why you should always hire a pro to sandblast, as they understand the dangers associated with the process. If proper safety measures are taken, then sandblasting is rarely dangerous.
The disadvantages of sandblasting are noise, mess, and risk. Sandblasters are louder than chainsaws and spread debris on the ground and through the air. Let your neighbors know that you're sandblasting so they can prepare. Sandblasting can damage your property if not done properly, so thoroughly vet any pros you talk to before hiring.
Sanding and pressure washing serve different purposes in deck maintenance, so one is not necessarily better than the other. Pressure washing is ideal for annual cleaning to remove dirt, grime, mold, and mildew. Sanding is a deeper restoration method used to smooth rough surfaces, remove an old finish, and prepare the wood for a new coat of stain or paint. The ideal process for refinishing a deck is to first clean it (with a power washer), then sand it, and finally apply the new stain or finish. While cleaning should be done annually, sanding and staining are typically needed only every one to three years.
