The A1 owner told me that his product will work better and will keep the stairs high. That's a lie. They didn't last for 2 years. They did the driveway concrete in front of my garage that cracked where they did it. They did raise 2 slabs around my pool that ruined the esthetic view of my pool. They raised it more than they were supposed to that my pool is not even and the water is not straight and horizontal. Same day I told them but they refused to admit that the employee raised it more than he should and they tried to convince me that it wasn't leveled from before. If it wasn't leveled, you could barely see the difference but after they did it, it's a major problem to me. It looks odd. This review is for the people who want to do the work with this company and the owner who tried to sell us and after put an employee to tell me that the pool was like that which is not true. I See good reviews about when they first do the job but wait little over a year, and then write a review. I am not happy with their job and I really want my money back!!!

We used this company because he offered a discount to Parkside Community Association members. We…read morehad a few companies come out to quote and he was competitive. 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.

7 weeks for 4 steps--poor communication and failed inspections…read moreDo I have steps? Yes. That is the only reason this isn't a 1 star review. We hired this company to remove our old, broken concrete front steps and pour new ones. While the initial communication was great, it became incredibly un-dependable and hard to come by as the job progressed. Ultimately, it took 7 weeks to complete a 4-step project due to poor craftsmanship and multiple delays. The issues began when the initial pour completely failed inspection. The step measurements were wildly inconsistent--the top step had a 4-inch rise, while the others varied from 7.5 to 8.5 inches from step to step, and it sloped from left to right. When I brought this up, the contractor was defensive, insisting that everything they poured was "up to code" and there was nothing wrong with them. However, they later admitted the mold had been stepped on by the crew. After several communication gaps, missed timelines, and a partial refund discussion, the city inspector officially failed the steps on May 4th, stating they required a complete tear-out and replace due to the safety and rise inconsistencies. The second round of demolition and pouring took another three weeks. Throughout this entire process, I was never notified in advance when plans changed or when the crew would show up. I had to actively chase the contractor for updates just to find out when people would be at my house. While the second set of steps finally passed inspection, they still have visible flaws. If you are looking for clear communication, reliable timelines, and a job done right the first time, I would look elsewhere.

I used Frank's to install I-beams in my basement to stabilize the foundation last week. Overall the…read morework was completed and seems fine however the customer service was lacking. The salesman gave me a hard sell and said they would price match their competitor by 100$. They actually didn't price match because the competitor's estimate included an engineering fee and Frank's required me to pay that fee (1000$) out of pocket. Once I agreed to go with Frank's the salesman became much less responsive and it took forever to get the work scheduled. The workers also ripped paint off my siding because they used duct tape to hold back my screens and they also left these screens open in the middle of summer for hours which let in a ton of bugs. The workers also used crude language throughout the entire job. I contacted Franks three times about these issues before writing a review and got no response.
