"Eddie and his team did a fabulous job repairing our patio. Broken and stained stones and grouting were removed and replaced. Power washing followed. The patio looks like new and the price was right!!"

"David and his team were great to work with. They repointed my brick row house and the estimate was good, they were quick, professional and really nice guys. I highly recommend."

"Unlike other brick work contractors he could start the work sooner, completed the work in just 2 days and was reasonably priced. However, his patio renovation was not as comprehensive as anticipated and only did some key areas after being pointed out by client at final inspection."

"Highly recommend. Timely and reasonable estimate. Very knowledgeable on how to do the repairs. Once schedule they were there on time and finished in estimated time. Great result!"

"They arrived on time every day. Worked very neat, placing protective covering on floor, carpet and exterior surfaces they came in contact with. Best of all the job was well done with no issues. Extremely happy with this project, as anyone who has done home improvements you know it can be stressful. This project had zero stress! Highly recommend."

"The crew was professional, on time and did great work. When done I thought we needed to increase the dimensions and they did this with some extra effort because of having to do fresh excavation next to existing tile. Overall a very good to excellent result."

"I met with Dave (project manager) and we discussed extent of work needed to restore my stone patio after many years of neglect. A key feature of the repair plan was to install a border around the stone patio. Dave also recommended that we pull up most of the lower patio and establish a good base for the stones, and repoint the upper patio where mortar joints were degraded. I decided to go with Daves recommendations and Lopez ( crew supervisor) and his crew did a great job restoring the patio. I am looking forward to pressure washing the stone to bring out the color after the mortar has fully cured. I could not be more pleased with the results!"

"Jose and his crew installed a~360 sq. ft. patio using Nicolock pavers and contrasting charcoal border pavers in 2.5 days. Outstanding job. When I asked them about using edging to prevent the pavers from shifting, I was told that he does not use edging. Instead the perimeter is first installed as retaining wall blocks set in mortar! After the perimeter is set, the site is then excavated, compacted, covered with weed suppressing fabric. The fabric is then covered with crushed stone layer, compacted and sand is then laid on top, compacted and leveled and properly graded. I chose the herringbone design shown in their logo and very happy with the choice. The border pavers are laid on top of the retaining wall blocks and are "glued" to them using mortar/liquid cement. After the border pavers had set, the crew applied polymer sand to fill in the gaps between pavers. This "grouting" was done twice. The final product is solid as a rock and not going anywhere! VERY HAPPY WITH THEIR WORK. Jose Espinal's company is insured and bonded, so hire them for your project and be worry free."

"They were on time. And stayed on schedule with the work. They also helped out with adjusting to our budget helping us choose the best materials for our project."
