Get matched with top decorative concrete pros in Goshen, OH

"Our new deck looks terrific! We had an old, elevated wooden deck that was likely over 20 years old. We solicited multiple quotes from various deck builders, but Building Character won our business because of their product offering, extensive planning and design service, their competitive pricing, and their personal touch. We had a fairly large deck that spanned the entire house and we wanted a new elevated deck of similar dimensions, using composite decking, metal railing, and a new frame. We are thrilled with the results! They just completed the work this week and the deck looks amazing. Tim and his crew were the friendliest guys and worked diligently, even in some harsh heat/humidity. The crew was very receptive to questions about what they were doing and sought our input if they needed to alter plans. If you want something a certain way, just let them know and they will work hard to make it how you like it. The owners, Jennifer and Jared were very responsive to all of our emails. We would highly recommend Building Character for any deck projects over other local competitors in Cincinnati!"

"If i could give them negative I would do not use this company. Basically stole my money. gave them $2500.00 Down to tear up my yard hillbilly frame my pad, then after i cant use it tell me it gonna be $3000.00 more then the quote. I said no just give me $1000.00 back of the $2500.00. would not do it. they have less then $1000.00 dollars in it and will not give my money back. Im sure they will wright some big excuse but believe me its all lies. check out BBB Kentucky complaints there."

"They did a tier 1 job, communication and quality were both top-notch. I'd recommend them to anyone."

"Chase from C2 (AKA Williamson Farms) has been the worst experience with a contractor I have ever had in my lifetime. Please do yourself a favor and avoid this company. At first, Chase was communicative and respectful. He helped us nail down our concrete project and provided an estimate that was in line with his competitors. I told Chase that two things were important to me: that the job was done well and that it was done in the next 7 weeks. He agreed to those terms and we signed a contract. That's where the good began to turn sour. He required a 50% downpayment to get started on the work. So I forked over $13,750 to a person I felt was trustworthy. Once he received his downpayment, he sent me a text: "Thanks! I'll be there tomorrow with the materials!" Even after many calls, texts, and pleading, Chase didn't show up again for 7 weeks. He promised a lot that he couldn't deliver. Now, my yard is a mess. He was going to pour the concrete directly on the grass instead of grading and creating a compacted gravel base! This is the definition of shoddy work. Now, he won't return my calls or my deposit."

"I’m only giving a one star review because they were able to get us on the schedule quickly. Everett seemed very friendly and honest when he came out to give us a quote to widen our driveway and extend our extension patio so we decided to hire Hastings and Sons. Now with HUGE regret. This is a slimy business. Partial payment was due at the beginning of the job and the remaining was due at the completion of the job. We went ahead and paid the remaining payment without the job being FULLY completed (ignorant on my part) the only thing left to do was saw cut and clean up, we were told someone would back the following morning, here we are 4 days later and no one has showed up to complete the job. Everette and someone named Tim who wasn’t even on the job and told me two jobs were mixed up told me it would be taken care of (yesterday). If concrete is left too long without the control joints being cut it will crack, we are past 96 hours with no saw cuts! Not to mention I told the project manager I wanted our patio to be rounded and it was not, he did a walk through the morning of pouring and talked about the square footage but nothing was staked out so I didn’t even think to bring it up again since I already told him and showed him a picture of what I wanted, he said I should have mentioned that during the walk through. This part I was okay with getting over until it turned into a bigger problem. They left my front yard a mess, there is concrete smeared on our existing patio, concrete on the siding of our house, basement windows, the quality of their work is bad. Sloppy, the extension of the driveway isn’t even. If I could do it all over again I would have hire the contractor who’s price was significantly higher. I would not recommend Hastings and Sons to anyone and will never use them again for future projects. Do yourself a favor and don’t go for the cheapest quote, I know better and still did it. I should have been more thorough when researching the company, their reviews are loads of complaints and they are not on the BBB that’s usually a red flag. Lesson learned, you get what you pay for! Good thing is I was able to stop payment on the second check. They’ll get paid when they actually FINISH the job."

"Cincinnati Concrete Solutions poured a 17 x 24 patio with a 10 x 11 extension and 2 stoops for us. The patio has a 12 inch stamped and stained border and the concrete was colored. The patio turned out great! Scott's crew was very professional, on time, and cleaned up the street before leaving. Scott and Brandon were very responsive throughout the process. We had one small issue that they will be taking care of after the holidays. We also had them remove a 16 x 30 deck, 12 x 12 patio, and stoop for us prior to starting on the patio. I would use them again and recommend to anyone."

"My new patio looks great and finished on time."

"They are one of the most professional people I had to deal with construction wise. They were a pleasure to work with."
