"Incredible attention to detail. Performed work on time and as described. Friendly, thorough and excellent in providing the work agreed upon. Only issue was follow up contact. Spent over $10,000.00 for project but had difficulty getting response on follow up questions regarding potential issues with concrete work. We still have not had any response to email and phone messages. Very disappointing. We understand that this company is busy with much larger projects, but, would like to hear back on our simple request."

Customers say: Quick response
"Quick response to my request on Friday and demolition the next Monday. The demolition and removal took less than an hour. I am pleased because the dilapidated shed was in the way of my next home improvement project. I told Alan I was leaving for vacation Monday morning. He was on site at 7:15 am."

"Project took a little longer than expected but the crews were working during the hottest weeks of the year. Met or exceeded expectations. The few issues with minor aesthetics were discussed with the crew and solutions they suggested worked out well and look good. Dennis was very knowledgeable and approachable. Could easily contact him via text to go over any issues. Overall good work. Would recommend to friends and family and definitely consider for any future home improvements"
