I cannot recommend this company enough! Jake has been absolutely amazing, so helpful with the HOA…read moreand incredibly consistent with follow-ups. Even though we're still waiting on the HOA to get started, we truly cannot wait to move forward with this company. The entire team has been a pleasure to work with: their attention to detail is outstanding, communication is superb, and they're always quick to answer any questions we have.

Solid Ground was recommended to me by a friend and by far is one of the BEST contractors I've ever…read moreused. This was a big decision for us, I do most things myself but my back couldn't handle another summer project and we wanted to support local business. The Solid Ground team was very knowledgeable and helped us consider many design aspects we didn't know or didn't know enough about which ended up making a better finished result. The teams specific attention to detail during our consult and during construction helped us create a unique design that made the transition from the inside our home to the outside seamless. Can't say enough good things about the crew, true craftsmen, professional, polite and were careful not to leave a mess during the build process. If you're looking for a decking company this is it!!

The owner of this company, Chris, was so helpful and kind, and he did the work I asked for promptly…read moreand with care and professionalism. We needed some work done promptly, and he was able to get us in his schedule quickly-- he was also more than fair about pricing, and if I could have paid him more for the work he did, I would have because it exceeded expectations. We needed a concrete driveway's cracks filled in, and a lamp post removed and electricity capped in the front yard. He put his heart into taking care of these issues for us, and kept communication open throughout the project. I highly recommend reaching out to him for your handyman needs, because I know he's who I'll be reaching out to when the inevitable something else pops up!

I reached out to get a quote to wallpaper my parents' powder bath (we were "gifting" this to our…read moremother). I explained that we were planning to use an unusually-wide wallpaper from the UK and it's a small job. I spoke with Tim who said that they did powder baths all the time, wasn't daunted by the paper size, etc. He followed up immediately with a text providing his phone number and said he could come by in a few days to take measurements, etc. I sent him an email with all of the measurements and didn't hear back with a quote. I followed up via text a few days later to see if he wanted to measure directly or did he need anything more for a quote so he could let us know how much wallpaper to order. No response. I waited a few days and called. He was very apologetic, he was just busy, he would do it that night. Again, no follow up. I gave him another few days and texted him. No response. I tried one more time and received no response. I understand that people get busy (I'm busy too!) and I understand if you've changed your mind and are no longer interested in the work, but if you've committed (twice!) to provide a quote, it isn't unreasonable to take two minutes to text that you just can't do it. Poor communication, would not recommend.

I needed a dining room wallpapered with gross cloth. I had five estimates and chose Tim Bodine…read morebecause he had the earliest availability, the best website, and was willing to come down on his estimate (he was the most expensive of the five bids I received). He told me to contact him if I had any issues in the next couple of days as he would be working close by. Within hours of completing the job, I noticed that some of the wallpaper had not stuck to the walls and was curling on the edges. I tried reaching out to Mr. Bodine via email and phone without success. After 6 months without any word from him, I emailed one last time to let him know I was posting a negative review on Yelp. He returned my email with a call within 24 hours and corrected the problem a day later. As a result, I am changing my initial 2 star review to 3 stars. Had he been responsive initially and corrected the problem in a timely manner, I would have given him 4 stars. Pros: - When all is said and done, the wallpapering looks great. - He managed my expectations both while we were discussing the project and during the actual job. - He let me know what to expect once my grasscloth "dried out" and gave suggestions on what to do with the screws of the returns he covered so they wouldn't stick out like sore thumbs on my newly papered walls. - He arrived on the scheduled work day early. Cons: - Inefficient: his estimates are based on the total number of hours he thinks he is going to take (which includes the time he spends talking and not working). - Unresponsive for follow-up until my negative review.

You will not go wrong hiring Sam! Sam and his team tore out our old cement patio and put down…read morepavers. Sam came to meet with me a few days after we talked on the phone. I interviewed another contractor and decided that I wanted to hire Sam. However, my husband hadn't met him yet, so Sam made the trip back to our house to go over the job with my husband. Sam and his team did quality work and Sam communicated with me throughout the process. He was at our house, when he said he would be and kept his word from the beginning of this process. If I ever need another patio, or retaining wall, I will call Sam again. In this day and age, it is so difficult to know who to trust. I'm grateful we found Sam for this job!

On top of that, Glenn was professional and friendly. Would definitely hire again!

We recently hired J Lynn Concrete for a stained patio pour that also included installing piers for…read morea future deck, and we could not be more pleased with the experience from start to finish. Josten, the owner, is the definition of professional. From our first conversation, it was clear that he takes genuine pride in his work and holds himself to a very high standard. He was communicative, punctual, and thorough in explaining the process, timeline, and expectations. There were no surprises -- just clear communication and follow-through. The quality of the finished patio speaks for itself. The staining turned out beautifully, the surface is smooth and consistent, and the piers were placed precisely as planned for our upcoming deck build. You can tell when someone cares about the details, and Josten absolutely does. He and his crew worked efficiently while still paying close attention to every aspect of the pour and finish. What impressed us most was his commitment to excellence. He showed up when he said he would, stayed on schedule, and delivered exactly what he promised. That level of reliability is rare and deeply appreciated. We were so impressed with the results that we have already scheduled him to return in a few months for another patio pour with piers. That alone says everything about our confidence in his work. If you are looking for a concrete contractor who values quality, timeliness, integrity, and craftsmanship, we highly recommend J Lynn Concrete and Josten. You will be in very good hands.

It needed to be done badly, and he quoted me an affordable price in comparison to other quotes. While the job itself is not cheap, I liked the price.

Building my retaining wall was not an easy feat with how my yard is angled and the hill my house is on. I would recommend him!
