Get matched with top retaining wall installation pros in Ray, MI

"First off, I will share that I am a Procurement Consultant and former Purchasing Manager and have regularly bid out services as well as advised clients on doing so. I’ve always had a “value first” approach and, while low price is important, it’s an overall value proposition that sells me on a company. We contacted 8 vendors for our project, which was to take an existing brick paver patio (approx. 14 x 18) and have it power washed, leveled, and re-finished (in this case, no sealer but swept with poly sand). I’ll take this opportunity to say that there are MANY predatory companies out there in brick pavers who are counting on an uneducated consumer. For our project, we received 7 quotes back that ranged in price from $475 to $3,810 for the project. Needless to say I dealt with a couple unethical vendors who tried to tell me I needed to have whole deck removed or some other line of bologna. The good news is that Austin Brick Pavers was one of the vendors that we sent a quote request to and who we ultimately selected. When Eric came out he was straightforward in what needed to be done and honest in that the work on the patio was mostly labor cost (and a few bags of cement and the poly sand). The price for the project was $580, which was toward the low end of our proposal options. Even better, there was no requirement for payment up front, which is why the low bid vendor was not chosen. The work was performed consistent with Eric’s timing estimate (just over a week out) and the two people who worked on it were both detail oriented and friendly. Eric even put down dirt around the patio so we could re-seed and have a finished look to the project. I’m pleased to report that, three weeks out, we are very happy with the work Austin Brick Pavers did and had an outstanding experience overall. I’d highly recommend Austin Brick Pavers for your project- with confidence."

"Excellent! I would use them again and will continue to use them."

"They did a great job with stone retaining wall, stone steps and landscaping."

"They did excellent work with all aspects: from digging deep to make a sturdy foundation and digging for retaining wall to finalizing a beautiful patio laid herringbone style with trim details to butt up against existing walkway. And they clean up well when done, which by the way took less than 2 days!"

"Chris Locke and his crew did a great job on your backyard landscaping and hardscaping project. We interviewed a few contractors, but we chose him based on his reputation, some recommendations from friends and his competitive bid. He had some good ideas for the project and gave us options based on material choice and difference in cost. He broke down the price of his quote (price per sq ft or face foot) which made it easy for comparison to other quotes or for deciding whether we wanted to expand or reduce our project. His crew did a great job of cleaning up the site each day and the overall quality is excellent. He gives a good warranty on his workmanship and his installed plants. Overall, a great job and we would recommend him to our neighbors."

"Evaluated two companies to do the work. Obtained names of these firms from Angie's List.  Both ' A Cheaper Chimney Sweeper' and the other firm came to my home to evaluate situation and quoted a price to stop the leaking.  Though the other firm seemed a little more polished felt more comfortable with Lee, the owner.
Work began promptly on the day we agreed upon (March 2014). Lee accompanied the two fellows that did the work. Kevin and Al.  Kevin being the lead person.  Nice guy.
Unfortunately, despite a valiant effort in digging down around the outside basement wall (in muddy conditions) the basement continued to leak.  My recollection was that Lee and Kevin said it wouldn't and if it did, call them.
I did and Lee & Kevin returned to inspect the situation.  A new date was established (Sept. 2014).  Kevin returned, we agreed upon a little more money to make it right'.  Once again, a valiant effort by both Kevin and his assistant, Al.  This time I even permitted them to remove a shrub near the porch so they could really have access to the exterior basement wall. Unfortunately, the basement leak continued.  We attempted to establish a 'return' date.  Kevin kept making dates to return but was never able to keep the appointments.  Later he and I managed to connect on the phone and he expressed his sincere desire to stop the leak for me.  
Finally, had a 'text message' conversation with Kevin (think it was a text message).  In that conversation Kevin indicated it was beginning to get cold out and the tar they use would work better if we waited until the warmer weather (Spring '15).  Sure hope I hear from them soon!  The spring thaw is about to begin and I'm getting really concerned as I know this is when the leaking begins!  They really seem like honorable guys; it's just that the problem still isn't fixed.  Once it is I'll be happy to revise my 'Ratings' of   'A Cheaper Chimney Sweeper'.  Was hard to do at this time as I feel as though 'I'm in limbo.'  
Hey, Lee. I had more work I wanted you to quote on.  Would actually like to pursue that other work as I know your going to take care of the 'leaking porch' situation.

"I am so glad that I found Cris at EC Drywall. He was easy to work with, honest, and punctual. And his work was great. I asked him to do some smallish jobs for me and then I recommended him to my father, whose garage he misses and sanded to prepare for paint. Absolutely hire him. It’s hard to find someone skilled who you can also trust!"
