There are so many contractors out there, and unless you have a referral from a friend or family member, it can feel nearly impossible to know who you can trust. Home improvement projects are big decisions, and the last thing you want is to feel like someone is cutting corners or taking advantage of you. I received seven or eight estimates before choosing Antonio. His pricing was competitive, but more importantly, he came across as the most genuine and honest person I spoke with. He was also incredibly responsive from the very beginning, which I really appreciated. Throughout the entire project, Antonio communicated well, showed up when he said he would, and stayed focused on the job while he was here. You can tell he takes pride in his work and wants to finish each project correctly and on time. The preparation was thorough, the base was compacted very well, the rebar work was done properly, and he used very high-quality concrete. The finished concrete work turned out beautifully and felt extremely durable. We did run into a small issue after the project was completed. It was somewhat of a gray area as to whether it was actually an issue, but when I reached back out, Antonio responded immediately and came over to take a look. He was completely willing to help make things right. He didn't want to accept it, but I still compensated him for the additional time and work. The way he handled the situation earned even more of my respect. Anyone can be great when everything goes perfectly, but how someone responds when there is an issue says a lot about the kind of person and contractor they are. From his communication and workmanship to the way he handled the follow-up, Antonio has earned my complete trust. I would absolutely work with him again on future projects and recommend him without hesitation. If you have the opportunity to work with Antonio and his team, you can feel confident that your project is in the best hands.

We had a huge extension done in 2020 where he poured concrete for our foundation extension and 2 car garage. In 2022, he came back and poured colored concrete with stone finish for a 2 car driveway, 1 car driveway and a front door walkway. In 2024, he just finished pouring concrete for a long driveway with broom finish plus side walkway. I have been thoroughly pleased with manny and his team that work hard and deliver quality work. I don't hesitate to recommend manny and would utilize his service many times over. Don't hesitate to contact Manny, you will not be disappointed and can feel confident and relaxed that you are hiring the right person for the job. Manny offers competitive pricing for quality work.

Ernesco is great at project management. They don't do multiple projects on parallel. The team works in my backyard 8am-5pm each day and the project is completed within 10 days. 3.

I did not have a pleasant experience. Neighbors walk by and comment, "The yard looks beautiful. The…read morecontractor did a good job." I am writing this review because the casual observer does not know the struggle. The people who stop and ask for my thoughts, I respond by saying on a scale with craftsmen on one end and laborer on the other, I rate them closer to the laborer end. The contractor said he has in-house 3 teams. I got the C team. Their inexperience showed. I understand the best way to gain experience is to be hands on. But to learn, supervision and mentoring are needed. The supervision was very minimal. The owners were not on site daily. When they did appear, it was mainly to deliver supplies, take away debris, or pickup equipment. Not my job, but I assumed the role of Onsite Superintendent and Quality Assurance / Quality Control (QA/QC). If I had not, I am not sure what the project would have ended up looking like. To their credit, if something needed to be corrected or changed, they did it with no resistance. Their motto is "what makes you happy." I say their motto is "we do it nice because we do it twice." Progress was slow. The contract was signed at the beginning of December, and it was completed at the end of March. I was told at the time of the initial site visit it would take 2 weeks to complete. After the contract was signed, there was no communication for over a month. I was left in limbo wondering on the start date. Would it be before Christmas? After Christmas? Before the New Year? After New Year? Start was not until mid-January. There were many days where no work was being done. In my opinion, a month's delay could be attributed to the holidays and weather. Overall, communication was poor during construction. Days and weeks would go by with no update leaving me to wonder if they were even coming back. In the beginning, communication was adequate. But as time went by, it felt like my project was no longer a priority. To date, I have not heard from them. There has been no project completion follow up. Examples of my frustration: Gutter Downspout - They attached an underground drainage pipe to the end without cutting the angled outlet off. This made the pipe protrude out to such a degree it was a trip hazard. I brought this to the contractor's attention, and he agreed. He even provided me with a picture on his phone saying, "this is how it should be done." The sad part was the job he showed me was also performed by the same work crew on my project. They should have known better. They corrected the error with a fitting I provided, but it was sloppy work. The fitting was not straight and too low to the ground. I ended up redoing it. I connected a 2nd downspout to save myself from further disappointment. This would be a common theme during the project, doing things myself. My neighbors would see me in the yard and ask, "isn't the contractor supposed to do that?" Front Entrance Joint Sanding - The front entrance originally consisted of a concrete pad. Instead of removing the concrete pad, they laid the pavers directly on top. Ever seen a vibrator vibrating pavers laid directly on concrete? It is not a pretty sight. Those pavers were jumping! Many pavers were damaged. I was so shocked and angry; I had to lock myself in the house after witnessing the carnage. What really made me mad was prior to this incident, I spent time replacing chipped pavers they had laid with nicer looking ones. But in short order, all that was undone. They fixed the damage, but the replacement pavers they used were the ones I had previously rejected. Later, I went back through the unused pavers to pick the better-looking ones, and had the contractor redo it. Side Gate and Gravel Path - Last day of work, what could go wrong? Well, they removed and repositioned my side gate. When I realized what they were doing, I was LIVID. It was unnecessary. They should have removed the earth a few inches and backfilled with gravel to the former finished elevation. But no, they placed the gravel on top of the existing ground and decided to move the gate higher to clear the gravel path. When the weather moved in during the night, I could hear the gate banging from my bedroom. In the morning, I inspected their work. A snapped bolt, improperly installed latch, and a damaged gate stop. Once again, it is up to me to remedy their poor workmanship. To top it off, they used my neighbor's yard to store their materials. These are just some of the struggles I encountered. Did I mention the multiple times they had to pull up and put down pavers at one section? I lost count after 4 times. Plenty more follies occurred. There were many smaller issues. All those small issues add up and become a pattern of ineptitude. To end this review, let me say my dream was to step out my front door, look out at my front yard, and experience joy and happiness. Instead, what I feel is disappointment and anger.

We tried to do a paper design but then decided to go with the project as it develops real time. We are so happy with the way Prem did the lights and landscaping.

The work spanned more than two months and his crew were there even on Saturdays and days when it was above 100 F super hot days. There was a high degree of planning, coordination and aesthetics involved. Highly recommend them for any paving and landscaping needs as they have skilled staff who works tirelessly.
