He also raised our chimney 6 feet so it would meet current code. We also had him re-grouted our pool flagstone as the salt water had damaged it. He did all our stone projects with Portland cement and everything is truly sold. He pays close attention to detail and takes his time to do a perfect job. He is truly a craftsman and has great knowledge of stone and tile work. We also had him return to regrout our master bath shower and recaulk around all our fixtures through out the house as our house is now 11 years old and everything needed to be resealed. His price is very good and the quality of the work is the best!!!!

On June 26, 2026 J & L Concrete did a beautiful job replacing our cracked & crumbled driveway…read more Owner José Lopez and his crew showed up early, went straight to work removing the old concrete and more than a cubic yard of tree roots. Next was a layer of crusher run tamped thoroughly. The concrete specification was 4,000 psi with fiber reinforcement poured to 4+ inches depth. The driveway has 3 joints with existing good concrete, which J&L reinforced with rebar rods. The crew was respectful of our property and cleaned up after their work. We enthusiastically recommend J & L Concrete.

Hi Neighbors, I had…read morea section of my driveway that was lifted and heavily cracked by roots from a large oak tree. I searched on Nextdoor for recommendations for a concrete company. I found J&L Concrete to have many positive reviews. I called Jose, the owner of the company and he was onsite to give me an estimate in 30 minutes. The work was completed a week later, and I am totally satisfied with their job. Every part of my experience was positive. The crew arrived on time, did a beautiful job, and cleaned up so well it was hard to see anyone had been here. Jose and his son, Brian kept me informed the whole time. I highly recommend this company for your concrete needs. J&L Concrete 919-795-7674 Sent from Outlook

We were introduced to Gonzalez Home Repair by a trusted plumbing company when we had water damage…read moredue to a broken pipe. After the plumbing repairs were completed, we contacted Freddie Gongalez. He showed up the same day that we contacted him and gave us a detailed estimate. We also requested an estimate for additional work unrelated to the water damage. We made the decision to use Gonzales for the repairs as well as the additional work and we contacted Freddie on a Friday; they started repairs the following week. During the repair process we met several members of the Gonzalez family, and we were impressed by every one of them; they are professionals. Everyone with the company was very respectful. During the repair process they kept us informed of the schedule. If they identified additional work that might be needed, we were informed and given options should we opt to do the work. We appreciate their suggestions because we believe that we avoided future problems by addressing them at that point. All in all, we could not have been more pleased with a contractor than we were with the Gonzalez family and employees. They finished on time, on budget, and their work was very nice.

Dixie Painting just finished our house and I love it. The whole crew is extremely professional and…read morethey absolutely know their job. I was lucky enough to see them painting at a neighbor's house and stopped to get their contact info. Phillip showed up the same day to give me a quote. He walked the exterior with me and pointed out a few repairs that I had missed but definitely needed to be done. He doesn't push unnecessary work and talks you through everything. The crew completed the repairs and painting perfectly. They BRUSH on paint. Yes, I said BRUSH. No spray on, half-baked mess. These guys are real painters who know their job. I would recommend them 100%.

We bought the house we are living in now back in June 2023 and I knew when it was time to paint, we would go back to Phillip and his crew. Well, they finished the job today and they did excellent work. The paint job itself is excellent, they replaced all of the wood rot I pointed out plus some additional places that needed in and those areas look brand new, and the overall quality is great. His team does great work and if you want a high quality paint team, go with Dixie. They are not the cheapest nor the most expensive, but they do very high quality work.

Highly recommended roofing company!…read more As a first-time homeowner and after hearing some horror stories from friends and family concerning home improvement contractors, I was a bit apprehensive when going through the estimate process. Some contractors 'yes' you to death, try to upsell and then after the work is done, you'll never see them again. Also, sometimes with estimates you are dealing with a salesman not the folks who are actually doing the work. Not true with ABJ! After getting 3 estimates from different companies, Oscar from ABJ came promptly and on time. He calmly walked me through the process, explained the work they were going to do and presented the estimate. No sell pressure what-so-ever and best of all the estimate was thousands below all the others. After agreeing to the terms and selecting shingle type and color, work began right away. Oscar was on-site the whole time with his crew working quickly and efficiently. Work took less than two days and clean up was spotless. The roof looked great, and they even shingled my well house without me asking. (nice touch!) They gave me the left-over new shingles to keep for warranty purposes and to replace any future damaged shingles. Fast forward to ten months later.. After a very hot summer, one of the shingles appeared to bubble up. I gave Oscar a call to discuss why that might happen and he came the next day with his crew to fix the issue. No haggle, no missed calls, just came and fixed the issue no questions asked. I don't normally write reviews, but I feel good companies should really get recognition when they do it right! ABJ is one of those companies which stand by their work, are easy to work with and go the extra mile. Other companies should take note!

Here's your sign to hire Carolina Restoration Services for ALL of your restoration needs - you…read morewon't regret it!! We had a pipe leak that started in a closet and quickly turned into far more work than we ever expected. What began as a small issue became a full first-floor restoration -- new flooring throughout, drywall replacement, painting, and new trim. Needless to say, it was a much bigger project than we were prepared for. We initially hired another restoration company and spent over a month struggling to get updates and track down invoices. They even told us we didn't need to replace our bedroom carpet -- but when Carolina Restoration took over, they immediately recommended replacing it to properly mitigate the risk of mold. We are SO thankful they did. That level of attention and care made all the difference!! From day one, the Carolina Restoration team made the entire process seamless and organized. Our project manager, Sam, was personable, knowledgeable, and truly put us at ease throughout. They coordinated with ANS Painting Company, and Alex and his team went above and beyond -- not only repainting walls beautifully but even painting our baseboards to match our kitchen cabinets! The attention to detail was incredible, and our home truly looks better than ever! From start to finish, Carolina Restoration exceeded every expectation. They kept us informed, prioritized our comfort, and somehow created a sense of normalcy while our home was under construction. We are endlessly grateful to Sam, Alex, and both teams for their professionalism, kindness, and thoroughness. You won't find a better restoration company in Raleigh -- seriously, this is your sign to hire Carolina Restoration Services ASAP!!
