We had several companies out to bid on our little backyard project, but Mike from Coastal Paving…read morereally stood out as being the most realistic, friendly and down to earth guy. He understood what we wanted and why, and helped us explore options other places didn't even mention. Mike was super patient with all our questions, making sure we understood the whole process really well. When time came for the job, Mike and his crew did really exceptional work. We decided on a minor addition right at the beginning, and Mike told us a better way that was less expensive. Who does that? In the end, we had exactly what Mike promised, on time and on budget. The finished product was beautiful and way better looking than we had expected. Should we need more paving work, Mike is the only guy to call!

I called Nick twice no answer. I call the office they don't know why no one showed but tell me a crew will come at 11:30. 1130 no one comes. Still can't get in touch with Nick, at 2:30 Charles calls and said they would be on site at 3:30. I got in touch with Nick finally and said don't send anyone until tomorrow. He said again he would be on site at 8am with a crew. Nick never shows, but a crew arrived at 8:45. My bid included driveway prep, crack filler and two coats of sealer if needed. The crew finish around 12:30 but did not use crack filler on the bottom 1/3 of the driveway and the did not use sealer on part of right hand side if the driveway. I called Nick and he agreed to get the crew back out the next day a 8am. Charles calls the next day and said they would come over at 11:30. I said no don't come, I canceled the appointment. I called Nick indicated what Charles said. I told Nick to send bill a bill. I also left two messages for a person named Victor to call me, the ad min who answered the phone said she would get Victor involved. Victor never called. Nick failed to show twice after he committed to coming at 8am and he failed to return 3 phone calls and 3 text . I cannot recommend using Coastal for driveway repair. They seem unprofessional and the quality of work done lacks attention to detail and follow through. RG

When I first contacted him about an…read moreissue with the pilot on my gas insert fireplace, he told me it didn't seem like a serious problem and that he didn't want to come out and charge me for something minor. Instead, he kindly suggested that we do a FaceTime call so he could walk me through it. Meeting such a genuinely honest and kind business person is truly a blessing and a rare stroke of luck. During the call, I couldn't even find the knob to turn off the pilot, but Keenan patiently guided me step by step until I found it. Even after that, he carefully explained exactly what to do next--all without charging anything for his time. He could have easily scheduled an appointment, come out, and made quick money. Instead, he chose the harder but far more honorable path. I am deeply grateful for his integrity, patience, and generosity. I highly recommend Keenan to anyone looking for someone they can truly trust.

City street moving between 30 and 20 mph and he wants me to slow down with traffic behind us..... bad driver would hate to see what his buisness practices are like. Mean while I have to tell him to pull up while he arguing with me because he currently has a full car length in front of him before a traffic light while he is busy claiming I tried to cut him off. Hope this guy isn't the head of the company. Cause his perspective is real off. If someone tries to cut you off and you charge at them its a vehicle accident if I slowly try to get in your lane with a signal and you speed up and I just stay in my lane, its you being a dangerous ass hole drive. Your luck the dot does not classify company vans as trucks moving passengers or cargo because then there is an official dot complaint line. As of what I looked into it would only be the pg police department and that is excessive. Good luck to your small buisness it seems like you have multiple complaints against you.

We were quoted nearly DOUBLE what Velasco quoted us. Chris came out within 24 hours, walked the property with us and was able to provide a clear plan of action. He showed up on time and his crew of guys had nearly one acre of land looking nice again within two days! The oak tree was cut down and the stump ground down for safety, the chicken coop was weeded and all debris removed, and they even planted grass seed for us on our upper lawn that had been damaged by gopher holes. Chris is friendly and knowledgeable and took the time to reach out again a few weeks later just to make sure the grass was growing in. We will definitely be using them again when we're ready for new landscaping projects!

We quickly agreed on the cost and terms and the job was completed as promised. Chris as well as his employees were very professional, clean and well educated on the work that had to be done. Chris himself would explain the process as the different steps took place. I can highly recommend his services. I would definitely use his services again.

This is the kind of review I love to write - all positive…read more After 45 years, my retaining wall holding my driveway succumbed to the elements, and termites. It was about 30 feet long, 3 to 5 feet tall, made of redwood, and falling apart. Redwood rots! It had to be replaced. I had observed the Perkins guys building a 10 foot tall, complicated, concrete foundation wall for a new home. I had met Austin Perkins on site and decided that he was who I wanted to do my wall work. So, I hired Perkins Grading & Underground Company to replace my retaining wall with concrete. His bid was fair and reasonable. The first day was spent demolishing the old wall and digging the footings. Demo took only 2 hours. Digging the footing was hard work because my soil is mostly broken shale. Day 2 and 3 were spent assembling the rebar and building the forms, and on the 4th day we pumped in 6 yards of colored (standard "Sandstone" at $25/yard extra) concrete. At just the right time, the forms were striped and the finishing work began. Finishing took about 4 hours. With concrete, timing is critical. The form construction was a little challenging since I live on a hill and two large oak trees had to be contended with. Carlos spent two days jackhammering old concrete footings for removal. At the end of each day, they used a leaf blower to completely clean the construction site and carefully stack building materials out of the way. Austin's guys are the best - Omar, Carlos, Robert, Jose, and Superintendent Jesus. How can you go wrong with Jesus in charge? I just told Austin what I wanted to accomplish, in general, and specifically, regarding details such as size, shape, color, radius in the internal and external corners, finish, etc. He relayed that information to Jesus who instructed the crew about what was required. Nothing was lost in translation - every detail that I communicated to Austin was ultimately transmitted to the team. They worked extremely well as a team and it was obvious that they liked working with each other. There was no wasted motion and very little communication required as everyone knew exactly what to do. I found that the team members were professional, friendly, and accommodating. As questions came up, we discussed the issues and quickly decided on solutions. I guess you could say we were all on the same page. Even the concrete pumper guy, Jose, was quite friendly. In my 60 years of project management (Hewlett Packard, Apple, Plantronics, and others), I have met and worked with numerous contractors. I have found that nice guys hire nice guys and Perkins is no exception. They treat employees well which creates loyalty and they work hard. Beats having to constantly train new people as disgruntled employees resign. It's amazing how few companies get it. I have never seen a crew perform the finishing like the Perkins guys do. It was fascinating to watch them take six yards of wet blobby concrete and transform it into a beautiful retaining wall. They were incredibly meticulous and careful and must have gone over the concrete about 20 times with various floats, trowels, radius tools, brooms and brushes - over and over again until the surfaces were perfect and the texture exactly what I wanted. And it was obvious that they were happy with the results also. So, if you need concrete work, who ya gonna call? Why, Perkins Grading & Underground, of course - they are absolutely the company for you.

In all, they were all very approachable. Shane worked to meet our needs in every way: he gave us suggestions for how to get the best price on the imported soil needed, assisted with coordinating inspections, and presented various options for our project. He listened to what we envisioned and met those goals. As our project progressed, the team always listened to our input to ensure they met our needs. The quality of their work is great. Even as little hiccups occurred, they always worked with us to ensure the end result was top-notch. Near the end of our project, Shane had gone through a rough accident. He still came out occasionally to check things were going smoothly. That was beyond what we would expect from any professional. Great company to choose for grading and concrete work.

We're very happy with the finished product and with the overall process of working with Currier's Concrete and Paving! There were a few hiccups along the way due to weather and changes required by our structural engineer, but Shane quickly made adjustments and work kept moving forward. And I appreciate that Shane and his guys were easy to work with, especially with me (rather than my husband) as point person on our project. Currier's is our go-to company for any future grading, concrete, or asphalt work!

Excellent work executed by professional, kind people. Cornerstone has earned my business…read more I was in need of some landscape work to trim/shape some of the hedges on the property and to clear up some heavily overgrown ivy along the fenceline. In search of a landscaping company, I called Cornerstone Hauling and Gardening as they had received very positive reviews and they were local. Daniel answered the phone and asked how he could help. I explained my situation and he was on site within 20 minutes. We did a walk-around the property while I explained what I was looking to have done. I liked talking with Daniel because he was engaged, asked questions, and provided me with options based on the answers. We agreed to a price and set an appointment for 1 week later. Note: I work from home so Daniel understood the importance of scheduling/coordinating the work his team would be doing and my own. One week later Daniel arrives right on time with Jen, Preston and Joey. Daniel introduced me to the entire team, we reviewed the list of items on the list to be addressed, and they went straight to work. They accomplished a lot of work very quickly. In just a matter of hours they had completed everything on the list, cleaned and swept up, and the branches/vine clippings from the trimming they had done were loaded in the truck to be hauled away. They also went above and beyond and took care of a couple of additional items they noticed. Their work is clean. They are very detail oriented and took great care of the property. The invoicing/payment process was very easy and convenient as well. The result of their hard work is BEAUTIFUL. I would recommend Cornerstone to handle any type of landscaping or hauling you need. I will not hesitate to contact them again in the future.
