I called five concrete driveway repair companies in the Howard County area. Joel Avalos is the most responsive and capable person. While the work was progressing, I checked in from time to time to see the quality and I found Joel does everything that he promised and more. I am very impressed. Now I have a new driveway that I am very happy with. There is not a hairline crack on my driveway. It is an excellent job.

He took the time to explain everything and came to my house a few times prior to the job to go over what I wanted. This job exceeded my expectations.

I look forward to working with these guys again for my deck.

The contractor is run by an older, old-fashioned Italian father who is truly a professional and…read moreruns a highly experienced concrete construction company. Mr. Purrazello, the father, does not cut corners and is the type of contractor to show the job, explain what you want, listen closely to what he says, agree on the work scope, award the job, then walk away. He's going to deliver a five-star product, and more importantly with concrete, will likely stand the test of time; and, he won't cut corners. These characteristics of integrity, professionalism, knowledge of the industry, dependability, and honoring one's word is rare today. Fortunately or unfortunately, depending how you look at it, this firm is unlikely to be a low bid. But, as I discovered from working with them just one time, it's a company you can trust. That's old-fashioned. Not cutting corners, again old-fashioned. My experience is that these traits of high quality and fulfilling one's commitment are unusual in today's residential construction marketplace. I was astute enough in talking with the father to recognize he was a true, professional Craftsman and to trust his decisions. Now I am left with a backyard patio, in which everyone who sees it says, it's absolutely beautiful! It came out much nicer than I expected and originally called for; and, I am appreciative for it. Going into the project, I simply wanted a basic slab-on-grade patio with a few engineered features that was low cost. What was delivered was a beautiful, constructed better-than-originally-designed, backyard patio. My advice on this contractor to the General Public is: if this firm gives you a price and they are close to your budget, hire them immediately and look no further. Additionally, if you don't want to roll the dice and play games with most residential concrete contractors, simply agree on a work scope and price with this firm then sole source award the job to them. They won't let you down. Why? Because these characteristics of high quality and integrity are very unusual amongst residential contractors, in my experience and opinion. In closing, I must mention that unless the son Joey bid the work as was done in my case, it was likely the only way Purrazello could have won the work. The father and the sons (Joey & Matt) are tremendous craftsmen and I wish them all the best going forward. Again, thank you Purrazello & Sons for a most excellent job! Take care.

The original middle step was only 3" wide. They took out 2 sections of walkway and the middle step. They framed out the middle step to 5 ' wide and over 30" deep and extended the walkway to match. After all that work they came back and added two railings with a 6" drop in the middle. At the last minute, I wanted a change in the color of the balusters, from white to black. No problem, done. You tell me, how do they look. Their office manager, Stephanie, she is pleasant to deal with and quick to respond to all my questions. The crew, they work hard and do a great job. They will be back soon, I have more work for them. C.H. Bartz

This is an amazing company. I had some water damage on a wall and I called the company that…read moreinstalled my roof. They then told me that the chimney needed a cap. I put a bid on Home Depot (rookie mistake) and had 2 contractors say I needed a cap that could be installed for $900. That didn't seem thorough so I called evolution chimney. They had a young man and his partner came out and they went in the basement and to the roof and told me all the work I needed done. They had to add a new and wide liner, fix the deteriorating staccato, ensured that there was no chance of carbon monoxide and of course the cap. It was well worth the investment. The first appointment I had there was a scheduling mishap so the woman that took my call offered to deploy an emergency weekend team but I opted to reschedule for the next week. The work was done in a few hours. I was worried about squirrels still getting into the attic so I put a metal trap up there but nothing has been in the attic since and no water seems to be coming through the wall. Highly recommend.
