We hired ICON Construction, Brian Sponsel, to remodel our backyard for a major family event. The remodeling included building an outdoor kitchen, fire pit, paving, irrigation, lighting and planting. The project needed to be completed in 4 weeks with no scope for delays.
The design was done by an independent landscape architect. After it was completed we interviewed several companies and ultimately chose Brian. Brian was the only contractor that studied the plans in detail and more importantly arranged a meeting with the designer to review the plans. He also suggested modifications that would save us money and vetted them with the designer. He also put together a very fair payment schedule.
Brian and his crew started the job on the day that he promised. Brian was on site everyday monitoring the work being done by the crew as well as getting his own hands dirty when needed. When not at the site, he was reachable on the phone and responded very promptly. When we were struggling with color and material choices, Brian took us to multiple stores and helped us pick the material. He has a good eye for colors and is very patient.
The project was completed before the big family event and we were able to use the backyard to have multiple parties celebrating with our friends and family.
Brian is an extremely smart, hardworking and honest contractor. He was always willing to go the extra mile to make sure that we were happy with the end product. He takes a lot of pride in the quality of his work. It is very important to him that we were happy at the end. Even after the job was done, he came back to address a couple of minor issues that surfaced. We strongly recommend him for all landscaping projects. read more
