Get matched with top patio pros in Castleton, IN

"I do not recommend working with Lasting Impressions. Short version: They won’t get the color you want right and will remain unapologetic about their mistakes. We sent them an image from their website, saying that they were the colors we want. The main color in the photo was a dark beige. Our finished patio is orange with dirty brown blotches. I really did NOT want an orange patio. Long version: After we sent the image for the concrete colors, their representative replied that we needed to pick four colors: the main color, random color, release color, and border color. He said that the main color would be what the patio would look like and that the random and release colors would be accents. We chose a beige color (Arizona Buff) for the main color, as it seemed to match our picture best, and Georgia Clay and Terra Cotta for the random and release colors. Fast forward to when the work actually began. Early on, it seemed to me that the color of the main portion of the patio was too red – that the random and release colors had just been mixed entirely with the main Arizona Buff, so the end result was a red-orange patio instead of beige. I called our Lasting Impressions representative, and he said that the color would be fine and that we were just looking at it too soon. He said to wait until it had dried to reevaluate. After it had dried, I called him again and said it still looked more red-orange than beige. He said that it would be fine, as I hadn’t seen what it would look like after they pressure washed off some of the release colors to bring out the main color. He himself had not seen the patio at this point. After the pressure washing, the patio still looked red-orange. My husband and I called our representative again, who told us that we needed to see what it looked like wet (as that would be the look when it was sealed). We wetted down a portion of the patio, and the color did not look any better. Then my husband asked that our representative come out and see for himself. When he came out and saw the patio, he started replying with, “Well, those are the colors in our contract.” This was the same person who had told us we couldn’t just tell him one color (the Arizona Buff) but had to choose both a random and release color – but not to worry because the end result would look like our main color choice. I asked how he could fix the color. He said he could use an acid stain to lighten it, indicating a beige-yellow on our house stones as the color he could match. When he went to his truck to look up something, the worker he was with admitted that there was “too much red” in the patio color. Next, we were given a color swatch of acid stains. None of the colors on it were as light as the beige-yellow he had said he could lighten the patio to, but Barley was the lightest, so we told him to go with that (or lighter, if possible). The stain did not, however, lighten the patio to the color on the sheet. It made the patio a lighter orange, but still quite orange. Our representative said that it’s because we tried to go to a lighter color, and that would not work. (I’m not sure why he’d promised that he could match the stone on our house if he knew that earlier.) He told us he could go darker. He also said that he “needed to be done with this project.” We really didn’t like the orange, so we chose one of the dark colors on the sheet, Coal. I wasn’t happy with the idea of a dark patio, as we had chosen the beige to begin with with the idea that it would be not quite as hot for little feet to walk on, but we just wanted the patio to look decent at this point (as the orange looked just bad). However, the Coal application did not give us a nice, dark color stone look. Instead, it wasn’t evenly applied and looked kind of blotchy. Our patio now looked orange with dirty or moldy spots (where the brown was). When we pointed this out to our representative, he said, “I told you the orange would show through a bit. I can’t get the patio to the color on the sheet.” He had mentioned that there would be a hint of orange, but he had NOT said the acid stain would not get to the color on the handout. Why give us a sheet of colors if those colors aren’t what the end result is going to be? By this point, we were just done. They tried to get up some of the dirty/moldy look, but that was unsuccessful and just made the color inconsistency worse. We said what our representative had now said to us four or five times, that we wanted to be finished. So they sealed it off. Even THAT was done inconsistently. Portions of the patio look like they weren't sealed at all. Save yourself the headache and go with a more professional company, one that can actually get color right. I’m now investing in patio rugs."

"Despite having clearly communicated our desires for a project, Arbuckle failed to take them into consideration. They didn’t plant what we requested and used small measly plants. Additionally, they didn’t bother to respond to my concerns or inquiries about the project. I would not use or recommend them again."

"Doug and his team have done several projects in/around our homes. We have used this team for many years. They are trustworthy and reliable. Doug and his team are friendly, respectful and professional. They take care while working in and around your home and clean up when they are finished. I would highly recommend Doug and his team!!!!"

"It went really well. They were there when they said they were going to be. They left an accurate time line for how long the job is going to take and completed it within that estimated amount of time. They basically listened to everything I said that I wanted and it came out perfectly and as we expected. We're really happy with them taking what we anted and what we said we wanted and actually making it happen. Our Sales person, Ben Brown, did a really good job leasing between the workers. He's very attentive, listened to everything that we wanted and oversaw the job very well."

"Centennial Construction did a fantastic job adding a small front porch to our home. They replaced our steps, put up a covered porch structure, and painted. Fast response times, quick turn around, and great service."

"Good, easy to communicate with if problems or questions came up. Explained what options were to fix , left the finial decide to us. Worked with us on payments as we were not no property at time of some remodel. Tyler and Shea are and happy to get the job done right. They have a low overhead so easy to offer or better the other companies. Offer discount to additional work if their tools and workers were there finishing up on other work. Walk thought prior to finial payment. No problem if something needs to be adjusted. They show up when they plane on working your job. They even asked what type of music I listen to , then played some during the addition projects. Will be hiring again to paint remaining house after moving out to ready for sale."

"They replaced sections of our sidewalk and driveway apron. They were prompt and the work looks great. Pricing was fair. They only complaint is they promised to level out the dirt displaced when removing and leveling the sidewalk and did not. They were also a bit sloppy and got globs of concrete on the asphalt driveway that was left to dry."
