The company expressed interest in doing an estimate and asked for my address, which I provided. I never heard from them again.

It was great working with Mike. We needed some bricks replaced on our patio that had been dug up due to a plumbing project. From time to reaching out on here to job completion was 2 days and was a very fair price.

I 100% recommend these guys. Mike and crew recently completed a job to replace my front stairs and a sidewalk. He's a true craftsman who worked the job with a deliberate and measured approach. Clear communication on timing and the pricing is fair, well worth the high quality work they deliver. Very easy to do business with. Maybe expect a little waiting time in the busy season, but it's well worth it.

Arrived quickly for an estimate. Quality work for a long sidewalk. Giving neighbors his name for their concrete work. I will call Michael for my next project.

Agreed on a time then tried to change it. Never showed up to look at the project at agreed upon time. So tired of unreliable contractors. If you’re unavailable, don’t waste my time.

Was able to build an absolutely beautiful accent wood wall. Needed it done in a short time frame and they were able to get it done. Extremely responsive and kept great. communication the whole time!

UPDATE: I received an almost full refund after this review. Still disappointed that it took this long as got this far, but it is resolved. Mike was communicative throughout the whole process, but misleading. We wish we got this settled much sooner, but it is settled. Mike required half of the quote up front totaling in the thousands of dollars. He came one day and then never came back to finish. He left his buckets and ladders littered on our basement stairs for over 8 months and repeated lie after lie excuse after excuse. This contractor is NOT TRUSTWORTHY and I will be forced to litigate. Below is a photo of his buckets after almost a year. Do not pay half up front for this guy to pocket.

These gentlemen were quick to respond, quick to quote, and quick to do the job. I was thrilled with the shed conversion they made under my stairs, and would recommend them to anyone. I’ll certainly be working with Mike and his crew again.

Mike and his team were fantastic! He was quick to come out and quote, quick and easy to get hold of and worked as quick as we needed them to! I had some basement windows bricked up and they have turned out great! I would gladly use Mike again and plan to in the summer!

David L.Sep 2018

Did a great job on 90% of job but did not finish the job as was too much trouble even though I signed a contract to even pay more to get it finished. It has been 1 year now. doesn't want to do it.
