Andy's crew did a small landscaping, concrete, and brickwork job for me in the summer of 2023. I had been trying for 6 months to get a contractor to do the job and most either said it was too small for them, asked me to make significant changes that were not acceptable, or gave me an outrageous bid.
Andy's bid was in the ball park of what Google said it should cost and also about what a retired contractor friend told be it should cost.
The job involved demolishing about 400 square feet of existing brick walkway and patio, regrading to improve drainage, and then replacing with brick and concrete. The work was done in a timely fashion, recommended changes or additional work items were added at reasonable costs, and the concrete and brick walkway was beautiful on completion, and the recent storm proved that the drainage was much improved.
For those of us who are not bilingual, it is important to have someone on site who speaks fluent English. Andy's wife provided that service and she was on site for most of every day.
I think that with more experience Andy will attain a five star rating, and indeed, I would rate him 5 stars on:
Integrity
Promptness
Communication
Desire to please
The only things I was not completely satisfied with was the brickwork on the patio. The worker did not line up the grout joints with the existing adjacent brickwork. I got the impression that if I had requested that it be redone, they would have removed the brick pavers and redone the work. It was not that noticeable so I did not do so.
I would hire Andy again and have recommended him to several friends. read more
