I have a third floor condo in Wilmington NC. I hired a company to resurface my balcony with…read morestamped concrete. This company did a horrible job on every level and refused to make good on the work done. I was left with a mess to deal with until I found Richard Keck, owner of Strata Earthworks. Richard is honest, professional, and provides exceptional products and customer service. Where other companies would not have taken on this mess, Richard took this job knowing the complexities, and challenges. His crew was professional, polite, and went the extra mile with a positive and enthusiastic attitude. The results are excellent and most appreciated. I highly recommend Strata Earthworks!

In the process he broke a section of my sidewalk closest to the straight driveway with his bobcat and attempted to cover it with a skimcoat!!! He didn't even say he broke it.

He stopped by several times before the project began to explain the steps. He has great communication and never left us hanging. He also cared for our historic house, making sure the original moldings remained. He was there the entire time his crew was working, and after a huge roof project, I found only two nails in the entire yard. They left everything clean and tidy. After the hurricane, he was the first person to stop by to check on us and the roof.

Venters construction is only in for the money. Forget customer satisfaction…read more Venters tell you that you'll be paying $32.50 per hour. Then tell you that it will take approximately one day to complete. Then give you a contract to sign that says $32.50 per man hour. Then 3 guys show up. So you start off thinking it's going to take one day will cost 8 hours times $32 or $ 256. Surprise! It does take one day. But it takes 3 guys one day- ooops- that's $800.00! They talk about trucks and about sports and all kinds of stuff while actually charging ALMOST $100.00 per hour!! Wow- that's a lot of money to watch guys stand around and shoot the breeze. Venters left a pile of debris in the driveway of a rental home from Monday until Wednesday. The neighbors piled their debris on top in the driveway. Landscapers came by and piled their debris on top. Even though Vetners knew there was twice as much debris in the pile because they didn't haul it away in a timely manner- they thought it was perfectly fine to charge me to haul all the additional stuff. Then they were hired to clear out, clean up and make level a section of property and given a strict dollar amount not to exceed. They did not clear out, clean up and make level anything. Instead they tore out a huge section of overgrowth, destroyed some landscaping in the yard and left a huge mess. Then they wanted more money to finish. I paid then more money to finish but it still is not cleared out, cleaned up and level. Why? They need more money! They can't believe I thought it would look nice for the amount I paid! The owner of Venters told me that he knew it would not look the way we discussed because he wasn't using the proper equipment. But of course he didn't tell me this until AFTER he had billed me. I will never use this company again. They do a bad job then want more and more money to fix it. Stay away.

Pelaez Renovations responded the next day and came to the house on Saturday, July 20. I had an estimate later that day and work was scheduled for the following Saturday. The other two firms never responded at all. I was responsible for materials and had already purchased several decorative tiles. Juan Pelaez sent me photos and descriptions of exactly what additional tiles, mastic, grout and caulk I needed. Today, July 27, Juan and his helper arrived at the house at 8:00 AM. Five hours later the job was finished. Juan was meticulous and precise in his work and was careful to clean up afterwards. This was a small job, only 12.5 SF. It looks great and the total cost was just over $800, 30 percent of which was the decorative tile.
