"Was punctual. Saw the project and gave me a reasonable estimate. Primary reason I hired contractor was because he advised me to do something that the contractor who replaced my stairs advised to keep water out my basement and that pretty much sealed the deal for me. The sidewalk looks great and the water problem in my basement has been alleviated. Would definitely use Diaz Concrete again."

"Dan at Designer Impressions is more than just your standard concrete mason, he is an artist with concrete as his medium. My project was for an 1,840 sq ft area and required excavation work, an interior 1,200 sq ft garage that was finished glass-smooth, and an exterior 640 sq ft covered patio finished with reclaimed timber stamped concrete. On my project, Dan was not only my concrete expert, but also my excavator, my exterior designer, and my mentor in how to shape my outdoor paradise, ensuring every aspect was done with intention. While other contractors just provided a price per square foot over the phone, Dan came on-site for our initial meeting and immediately demonstrated his professionalism and passion for transforming your standard concrete patio into something to be proud of. During the planning phase, Dan demonstrated that he was more concerned about doing the job right and beautifully then bringing home the biggest paycheck, and offered his years of insight and advice to help us design our dream patio. From day one, Dan went above and beyond - from brainstorming ideas on how to make the covered patio into the space we dreamed it to be, to working with a surveyor to ensure the area that was excavated for the project was plotted exactly as the plans stated, to walking us through each step of the process from excavation through final sealing, to providing frequent and clear communication and always being available for questions, and to providing advice along the way to ensure the interior and exterior portion of the project were absolutely perfect. Dan and his team were very professional while on-site, respectful of my property and neighbors, and ensured the job site was safe every day. 5 stars is the highest rating I can give Designer Impressions on Home Advisor, but they should offer 6 stars for people like Dan who go above and beyond the call of duty. When I was initially selecting a concrete mason, I had read a review about Dan that stated he is more concerned about doing the job right and beautifully then taking home the largest paycheck, I am very happy that that review turned out to be 100% true. If you are looking for someone to handle your next concrete project, look no further, Dan is your guy!"

"From the initial phone call to the completion of the job Quality 1st provided top notch professional service. A couple points which makes this easy to write. Communication is key whether in person or via telephone and Q1 was exceptional in this regard at every point. Telephone conversations with customer services was pleasant and cordial, never rushed or snotty. Paul our salesman was here for quite a while answering questions and assessing our needs in the basement. Of only was he on time for our appointment he was about 10 minutes early too. The cost of this project was a good chunk of change for us but after too many times of shop-vac’ing water we knew it was time to bite the bullet and move forward with making life a little easier and not have the issue of when will we get water in the basement again hanging over our heads. I was impressed that Quality 1st uses their own products and has their own R&D facilities. As for the installation, enough cannot be said for the crew that was here. I got the call at 9am they would be here in 20 minutes and at 9:20 they were backing in my driveway. I met the foreman Mario and his 2 helpers. We went into the basement and they looked around and asked if I had any questions. We had almost everything out of the basement and what was left they covered in plastic. By 9:50am they were running the jackhammers. We have a 1,500 sqft ranch and these guys worked all day, they didn’t stop and worked their tails off. I can’t remember exactly when the jackhammer stopped but by 2 pm the channel was dug out and they were beginning to lay out for the channel that carries the water to the sump. About 4pm Kyle showed up to assess the job and see if I had any questions or concerns. We spoke about the job and we went downstairs to see the progress. He stayed on site for about 45 minutes after making sure I was comfortable with how the job was going. By 5:15 or so the job was completely finished. Before they left Mario went over everything regarding the sump system. As far as cleanup, this is a dusty job. Concrete dust is ultra fine and they did a fantastic job of not only sweeping but they also dusted off areas which were not covered in plastic. They left no mess to speak of., I was very satisfied with their work and attention to detail. It’s easy to nitpick any job at anytime and there is nothing I would call them out on. Finally as for the functionality of the sump system I wish I had a comment on that at this time. We’ve lived in our house for 25 years and until around Thanksgiving of this year (2018) we’ve only had water about 4 times. Between Thanksgiving (2018) and New Years (2019) we got slammed 4 times and nothing since. With the symptoms of how our basement got water, I feel comfortable with the system Quality 1st installed and am confident they will stand behind their work and warranty. We’re also happy this is transferable to the next homeowner when we sell the house and it is an excellent selling point when the time comes."

"Bowen construction installed a deck, added an energy star sliding door, moved vents, performed plumbing repairs so my kitchen pipes would not freeze, added light and outlets and moved my interior dining table light. All work was excellent quality and his quote was 1/3 the cost of any other contractor. When I need more work I will be utilizing his services. Highly responsive to any text or call. I am so happy with my deck!! And he beat out the next closest contractor by over 10k."

"We hired AG Construction for 3 jobs. Alex was on top of everything from start to finish. He listened to my needs and made suggestions which I took and it made a big difference. From the day we hired him until the day after all three jobs were done he was in touch at least once a day. There was never a time I did not know the status of the job. The crew was friendly and worked tirelessly all day. They started the job and cleaned up at the end of each day. The end result at all 3 sites was better than I could have ever expected If you are looking for a great crew for concrete, landscaping or fencing I would give AG Construction a call"

"M&M did a fantastic job with our new patio. They took down and removed our old deck, framed out the patio and completed the job in only about a week. They took into consideration things we didn’t think about such as size and position of the patio, stairs, and sprinkler realignment. Overall we’re very pleased with the quality and speed of the work and wouldn’t hesitate to use them again."

"Derek Starts responded quickly to our initial email inquiry for a quote on a stone patio for our home. Afterward, he visited our home,
assessed our desired plan, and provided a competitive and reasonable estimate to construct a paving stone patio for us.
Derek and his crew dealt with extremely difficult weather conditions (high humidity and 93-95?) while digging the foundation and
constructing the patio. But even under these circumstances all were well-trained and professional, knowledgeable, courteous, and accommodating to modest changes to the plan. The crew was also exceptionally neat during construction, and cleaned up the site daily.
The patio was finished within two days, and is exceptionally well-built and attractive.
Lastly, Derek and his crew laid sod around the perimeter of the patio, and provided us with specific instructions as to appropriate care and maintenance of the grass.
The grass is currently thriving, and the patio looks terrific.

Figuring out how many bars you need isn’t a one-size-fits-all equation. A structural engineer or experienced concrete contractor will look at your slab’s thickness, the loads it must carry, and local code requirements, then run the numbers for you. That quick consultation protects your budget and keeps the finished slab safe, level, and up to code.
Match the metal to the job. For light, thin pours like a sidewalk, welded wire mesh often does the trick. Thicker slabs—driveways, garage floors, foundations—usually call for traditional steel bars. If your site sees salt, humidity, or coastal spray, spend the extra cash on galvanized or stainless steel to fend off rust and avoid future repairs. When in doubt, a concrete pro can confirm the best fit for your project and budget.
Stainless steel costs more up front, but the alloy can last 75 years or longer with little to no rust. That longevity means fewer repairs, less maintenance, and peace of mind for structures exposed to salt, moisture, or de-icing chemicals. If you’re pouring near the coast or in a humid climate, the extra dollars now can save you multiple replacements down the road.
An engineer will review the slab’s thickness, span, soil conditions, and expected loads, then specify bar size, spacing, and grade. Skipping that step or guessing can leave you with cracked concrete or a blown budget. For a modest consultation fee, a local engineer or contractor can do the math and hand you a rebar schedule that meets code and keeps your project on solid footing.
