In our process, we received multiple quotes, and spoke with over 6 different experience contractors. We chose Blue Costa due to their detailed quote, detailed contract, timely responses, and honesty in their customer service and work. The backyard has now transformed and is useful and beautiful. Whenever we have friends over they are amazed by the transformation. Working with Blue Costa was smooth and communication was effortless which I greatly appreciate. There were a few issues along the way, as typical with any construction project, but the Blue Costa team was always timely in communicating and offering solutions. I highly recommend them. We invested a lot with them and would do it again! Their quotes are reasonable and fair, and their workmanship is of great quality. Don't look elsewhere, seriously!

My elderly mother was wanting to buy a headstone for my fathers gravesite so we went out shopping…read more We first tried a more local monument store, but they were closed for vacation, so seeing it was our plan for the day we headed to Rex as it was the next closest place. We walked all around and checked everything they had on display and we were able to narrow down what we wanted before we sat with Lisa to make our final decisions (so many things to decide). We had a size limit as we bought a single lot, but we had decided on a color stone and design while we shopped. Lisa helped us make all the final decisions (you even have to pick a font). I would definitely recommend this place for buying a headstone. I'll update when we have delivery (probably in the spring, stones are backed up due to covid).

Nick and his crew have designed and installed beautiful stone walls and brick patios for us. We couldn't be more pleased. Their vision and craftsmanship is unparalleled. The staff of O'Hara and Co. are polite, hardworking and extremely skilled. Recently, O'hara and Company came to my home to enlarge our brick patio. While on the job they examined other areas of my property and repaired bricks on my front walk where I had damaged while removing snow. And replaced bricks they felt would cause problems in the future. I have never experienced a group so committed to the quality of their work. When the job was completed, the area was spotless as if no one had been there. Truly a great experience. I would highly recommend O'Hara and Company without question.

His prices were nearly always the lowest (I price-checked much of what we bought), and he provided exceptional service, always going the extra mile for us.
