"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."

"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."

"Jeff kept me informed of the progress and took pictures along the way. The work was being done at my shore house, so i wasn't on site to see the progress. He was communicative and very flexible with weather concerns. After he was done - the results were beautiful and he had cleaned up everything! He was very professional to deal with and I would recommend him to anyone who has a similar project."

"We could not be more pleased with the work of M&M Landscaping. Malecas (owner) was so easy to work with through the entire process. He showed up for an estimate took measurements, and actually followed up on his estimate. A rare occurrence being we had roughly 6 other contractors come out for estimates with a total of two getting me an actual estimate for the project. Once the project started M&M was punctual, and professional. Malecas, by far, the easiest contractor to work with and his responsiveness deserves a better grade than highest I could give him (A). The patio looks incredible which is a testament to Malecas and his team's attention to detail and craftsmanship. The work site was clean during the job and after hours they left it as clean as it was before they arrived. We were trying to work existing materials into new materials but the difference between old and new was too noticeable for us. M&M was patient while we looked at new pavers and wanted us to find what would make the project look great. We did, and they made it pop. I am so pleased at our decision, their craftsmanship, and our backyard. I can not recommend M&M Landscaping highly enough. Malecas, please don't get too busy that you forget about the other projects we discussed. Great work! Rainy day with the pictures, but wet or dry looks great."

"Lyric and crew highly recommend. Met and hired on Monday, Wednesday demo old driveway pad and dug out formed up, layed and tamped modifyed concrete and entire pour areas. Thursday concrete pour 19’x 23’ pad worked on finish. Friday pull forms and clean up. All excess soil was spread in front and rear lawn areas. Monday as promised cut relief cut in slabs, job completed well done. He seems well organized on time, understood my wants and concerns, these guys know the business and knowledge of the trade which is paramount. I have no idea if I got a fair price for the job I got. Lyric was the only one that Angi’s List recommended. Ken’s estimates are straight forward with your name and address on Lydic estimate letterhead - cost - your paying for experience and knowledge. I think I made a good choice. But then it’s only 4 1/2 days since my pour. Not worried, looking marvelous"

"Let me start by saying I have dealt with alot of contracting companies and BQ Basement Systens is the best one I ever worked with. From the moment I made the appt until the project was finished they were nothing but professional. Brian and the crew were knowledgeable, easy to work with and answered every question I had regarding my concrete stabilization project. I had a complex problem and they handled it with ease. How would I rate them from 1-10? I would give them a rating of 100. My husband and I are extremely pleased with their service and highly recommend them for a concrete lift project."

"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.
