I had the unfortunate experience of hiring this company for lawn mowing, snowplowing and fixing up…read moremy landscaping beds. I was very disappointed in their quality of work and professionalism. In my opinion it was a very bad experience. They were supposed to trim all my bushes and trees. They forgot to trim several of them and the others were done haphazardly. They ripped out flowers that were perennials because they thought they were weeds. Many areas were missing weed barrier, even though it was in the contract. The company admitted that the job needed more mulch, but because they underbid the job and was losing money, they would not provide any more mulch. They also admitted that their workers were new and not properly trained. In my opinion they harassed us for more money because they could not estimate the job properly. The owner continously told us of a toll bill for $1800 he owed to gain our sympathy. The owner assured us that he had arborists working for him but this statement appears to be false looking at the completed project. For snowplowing, they had to be constantly called and asked when they were coming out. The company provided an expired certificate of insurance to trick me into signing a contract. They tried to tell me that a car insurance certificate would be just as good. I have a copy of the car insurance certificate the company gave me. This company has had numerous people complain about their snowplowing service, but they delete all of their negative comments and 1 star reviews off of their social media pages. This company was hired by my elderly neighbor to cut her grass. She is 90 years old and has a hard time seeing and hearing. She paid them a lot of money. They rarely show up to cut her grass. They never even provided her with a receipt for her money or a contract. Her family had to get involved to help her. They refused to bag the grass clippings after they cut my lawn even though the contract stated they would. The grass looked atrocious with all the loose grass on it. The company canceled my contract and wanted to give it to his friend. He was going to pay him a fraction of what I paid him and keep the rest for himself. The pictures submitted with this review is how this company actually left my lawn. When I explained to them that is was unacceptable they proceeded to cancel my grasscutting contract. Most businesses when they get negative reviews they get upset and do everything in their power to have the reviews removed. Instead businesses should look at the negative reviews as a learning tool to improve their business and their employees. People really do not want to put down local businesses but they most certainly do not want to be taken advantage of. In response to the owner's comments: The fictitious accusations that this company has made instead of responding to the actual problems with his company should tell you everything you need to know about who you would be hiring

He was also supposed to remove and replace the cap on my front porch wall. The finish on the concrete is awful. He poured too much at one time in the summer heat and the concrete set up before they could properly finish it. It looks terrible. They spattered concrete all over my front porch stone wall, my brick and my vinyl doors. Inside the garage they raised the bucket on their Bobcat and dented my brand new garage door. During the winter the driveway lifted in front of the garage and now water and snow won't drain out of the garage. At last count 6 of the slabs have cracked in less than a year. When the job was complete I waited a month then power washed the driveway so they could apply the sealant. As I was power washing, the concrete kept washing away exposing dozens of leaves just below the surface that they troweled over. I was so discussed I had to quit washing after doing only 4 slabs. Mike said they're was so many leaves they couldn't get them all so they finished right over them. Can you believe that?? The garage floor looked so bad I had to paint it. Mike comes off as a real nice guy and his prices seem decent. Don't let that fool you. His quality SUCKS. I wouldn't trust Mike Hammer Construction to pour a pad for a dog house.

Plus he seemed nice and provided a lot of good info upon meeting. We had him remodel our additon entertainment room. He took it down to the bones and recontructed the room - new tile floors, a tray ceiling, crown molding, installed surround sound speakers, new walls, painted, added recessed lighting, added a stair into the room, replaced the ceiling fan, and completely did a 360 on the room. It took just under a month to complete (it was during the Christmas holidays so it probably would have taken less time but we were in no rush and let him know that). His crew was nice and very trustworthy. We gave them access to our house each day and I never worried. We tried to get a guy to come look at some drywall plastering upstairs but he refused to go behind the owner's back and take on a private project. That is so respectful and made me trust these guys even more. We just discovered we have a dropped ceiling in our kitchen and having these guys come back to put in a matching tray ceiling. Plus he is going to quote our front porch. I would definitely recommend them. PS - you should probably have a clear idea of what you want already before you talk to him. He will throw some ideas but I was happy I knew exactly what I wanted prior! Oh and funny story - I tried to get the room back together before my husband came home. Upon moving the kegerator into the room, it fell off the step and into the wall - leaving a big dent. I called Thomas and he sent someone over the next day to fix it for me - for free! Phew - my heart dropped at that moment and I appreicate him being so easy going about it.

UPDATE: We originally took this review down at Gage's request, as we were actively communicating…read morewith him to get our driveway fixed. After two months, multiple no-shows for appointments he himself set to sign a new contract, and now complete ghosting--ignoring calls and texts--we are done. This is not just disappointing, it is unacceptable. Consider this a clear warning: think twice before hiring him. Across multiple review platforms, you will see the same pattern repeated--poor communication, disregard for property, and a consistent failure to deliver on promises. Our experience is not an outlier; it reflects a broader issue in how this business operates. ____________________________________________________________________ Original Review: We've held off writing this review for nearly two years, hoping we wouldn't have to. Unfortunately, the latest issue made it clear we can't stay silent. This isn't something we do lightly, and we acknowledge upfront that we took a risk going with a younger contractor. We wanted to give him a shot. That was our choice--and ultimately, our lesson learned. In April 2023, we hired Buffalo Niagara Concrete to pour a new driveway, sidewalk, and back patio. Gage, the owner, was initially polite and responsive. On pour day, the crew arrived on time, but Gage left midway. At first glance, the work looked fine, but the professionalism of the crew was lacking. We even provided lunch, only to later find paper plates, pizza crusts, and other trash scattered in our yard. Tools, mesh, and leftover materials were left behind. Some were eventually retrieved, but most we had to haul away ourselves. It left the impression that once the concrete was poured, cleanup and customer care were no longer priorities. We later learned Gage hires union workers per job--not employees of his company--which makes it even more important for him to oversee and inspect the work. That did not happen in our case. Serious issues soon followed. Control joints were cut when the driveway was still too soft, leaving gouges and jagged edges. Rain then revealed a bigger flaw: the slope near our garage man door was poured wrong, causing water to pool and leak inside, damaging drywall. It took weeks to get a reply from Gage. Eventually, he sent workers to cut and repour that section, but the patch was rushed and sloppy, with chipped surrounding concrete and a mismatched finish. The remaining cuts were delayed, then finally done, but left crooked and uneven. At that point, we gave up trying to have it fixed. By spring, the driveway had significant pitting--far beyond normal wear for only two years. Several respected contractors inspected it, all agreeing it was from poor product or application. Each urged us to reach back out to Gage, noting that any reputable contractor should stand behind their work. At first, he replied quickly, asking for photos. We sent them immediately, then communication stopped. When he finally responded, his answer was simply: nothing could be done, just power wash and seal it ourselves. No inspection, no remediation, no referrals, no discount--not even the courtesy of standing behind his job. We are incredibly disappointed. We spent thousands of dollars and have had more stress and repair needs than we ever imagined--especially so soon after completion. Some parts still look fine, but knowing what we know now, we'd never hire him again. The lack of accountability, the delays in communication, and the refusal to stand behind his work are reasons we cannot recommend Buffalo Niagara Concrete. We gave every chance for this to be made right, but at this point, we hope our experience warns others: choose a contractor who is not only skilled, but also professional, reliable, and committed to standing by the quality of their work.
